I can certainly see life originating on the sea floor of a satellite like Europa. In fact the tidal core heating might produce vents on the sea floor like we have here on earth. A huge collision would be needed to free it like the elements in our periodic table and their numbers by neutron star collisions and probably not in a supernova. In fact life could have formed on earth just as easily at our hydrothermal vents. If when we get to another stellar system we find completely alien dna then it could form piecemeal.

Automating mathematics! Let's goo!!

thank you for share

None of this is in the Bible. Oh dear.

I never tire of listening to, and being educated by, the brilliant Nick Lane.

Pre 1945 steel....

The Age of Life The ability to carry out actions differentiates inanimate matter from living matter. In turn, every action involves the management of Information. We do not know what Matter is or what Life is, and we assume that all life forms that currently inhabit the planet descend from a common ancestor (LUCA), an organism whose complexity is evident if we consider that it is attributed the ability to reproduce. Due to the above, it is reasonable to assume that “seeds of life” existed prior to LUCA. Assuming that the “seeds of life” emerged together with the Big Bang is a bold postulate, and as such requires a solid empirical foundation. When observing Evolution considering the information that our ancestors have managed, and that currently managed by humanity, it is possible to distinguish seven evolutionary milestones; Its analysis allows us to postulate that Life goes back to the origin of the Universe, and the existence of an “evolutionary pattern” is evident, which turns out to be the Golden Ratio. Evolutionary Milestones -Emergence of ”Seeds of Life”(1) (thirteen thousand eight hundred million years ago). -Emergence of LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor) three thousand eight hundred million years ago -Emergence of the brain (five hundred and fifty million years ago). -Emergence of what was the precursor of human language (2) (twenty-seven million years ago) -Emergence of the language that characterizes us(3) (around two hundred and twenty thousand years ago). -Emergence of “the information age” with the transistor (1950) -Evolutionary Singularity(4) proposed by Ray Kurzweil, who postulates that humanity will access a Singularity as a result of the exponential growth of information management (year 2045). Evolutionary sections Among successive evolutionary milestones we can distinguish the following six “Evolutionary Tranches”, with the duration indicated (in years): Tranche 1: 10,000,000,000 (13,800,000,000 - 3,800,000,000 = 10,000,000,000) Tranche 2: 3,250,000,000 (3,800,000,000 - 550,000,000 = 3,250,000,000) Tranche 3: 523,000,000 (550,000,000 - 27,000,000 = 523,000,000) Tranche 4: 26,780,000 (27,000,000 - 220,000 = 26,780,000) Tranche 5: 219,905 (220,000 - 95(5) = 219,905) Tranche 6: 95 (95 - 0 = 95) The particular variation experienced by the Evolutionary Sections over time suggests using the logarithm of said sections (LT) to analyze their behavior over time. The logarithms in question are as follows: LT1 = 10.0000 LT2 = 9.51188 LT3 = 8.71850 LT4 = 7.42781 LT5 = 5.34224 LT6 = 1.97772 The lines between two successive logarithms have the following slopes (P) P1 = -0.48812 (9.51188 - 10.0000 = -0.48812) P2 = -0.79338 (8.71850 - 9.51188 = -0.79338) P3 = -1.29069 (7.42781 - 8.71850 = -1.29069) P4 = -2.08557 (5.34224 - 7.42781 = -2.08557) P5 = -3.36452 (1.97772 - 5.34224 = -3.36452) After searching for an “evolutionary pattern” we will determine the variation between successive slopes, which is given by the Ratio (R) between them, that is, P2/P1; P3/P2; P4/P3; P5/P4, and is the following: R1 = 1.62538 R2 = 1.62682 R3 = 1.61586 R4 = 1.61324 The above values differ from the Golden Number (1.61803), a number also called the golden number, the number of God, the extreme and average ratio, the golden ratio, the golden mean, the golden ratio and the divine ratio, by 0.45%; 0.54%; 0.13% and 0.30%, respectively. In turn, the average of the sum of the ratios is 1.62032. This value differs from the golden ratio by 0.14%. The results obtained allow us to postulate that Evolution follows a pattern that is a function of Information and the golden ratio, and that Life goes back to the origin of the Universe. (1)The last universal common ancestor (LUCA) is the putative common ancestral cell from which the three domains of life, Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya, originated. The complexity that LUCA is assumed to have does not give rise to affirming that it arose by “spontaneous generation”, it being valid to postulate the pre-existence of “seeds of life” prior to the emergence of LUCA; It is postulated that the origin of the “seeds of life” dates back to the moment when Matter arose in the Universe, that is, around thirteen thousand eight hundred million years. (2)“We find that the anatomical potential to produce and perceive sounds differentiated by their formants began at the latest by the time of our last common ancestor with Old World monkeys (Cercopithecoidea) about 27 Ma ago”; " Which way to the dawn of speech?: Reanalyzing half a century of debates and data in light of speech” (Science magazine) (3) The last change in the position of the hyoid bone in humans, which would have allowed access to the language that characterizes us, took place approximately two hundred and twenty thousand years ago, and its data is based on archaeological evidence and anthropological studies. There is no scientific source that records this change on an exact date. (4)Due to the exponential growth of information technologies, Ray Kurzweil postulates that a Technological Singularity will occur in the year 2045, at which time technological growth will be so rapid and so profound that it will be impossible to predict what its consequences will be. (5) It is the time between 1950 and 2045, the latter year in which Ray Kurzweil postulates that a Singularity will take place.

Surprised how few listened. It's a shame Has anyone found an answer explaining why c is it's speed , no more, no less?

It's a hypothesis only.there is too much imagination . Not very convincing. if you are saying there's no god it is a fig of imagination there you are no different. These days scientist are behaving like any other dogmatic faith that what they are saying is absolute truth.. scientism

Is dark matter gravitational waves ?

Really good presentation thank you.

Its interesting that black holes mass is growing with the volume of space just like dark energy, but I thought only a small percentage of baryonic matter(although technically not I guess) are black holes. And if black holes cause dark energy? In what way does it cause the space around it to grow, and are any voids in the universe collapsing as they have less black holes?

Black hole evolution! Bravo this is a great study.

lol who farted

The phrase "origin of life" may refer either to an event long ago, or it may also refer to a sequence of events that happen billions of times every single day ~ every day of every year. A theory as to the latter is directly verifiable by every lay individual on this earth, hence of immeasurable practical advantage to every being (not only to humans, but even to animals). But, sadly, what Nick and the entire science community target is the former.

All the gods come down to I.S. (Information System ~ ZOHAR OF LIGHT AND DARK).

It is absolutely amazing __________people stubbornly insist that origin of life had nothing to do with a creator!

Realy I like this video so much

The KGB and CCP watching the CCTV

Can we get ppt

Nick! Do me a favor and post a guide from your science lectures pls and thank you

NOT CLUELESS!!😂

I'm seeing RNA and DNA more archival. Kind of like my tooling files on my 3D printer. I'm more busy using the stuff I've printed than I am compiling code. So, in cells most of the real action is actually happening outside the DNA and RNA. This is very exciting with vast implications for biotech and medicine. Hopefully we will get some good coding in the future instead of the half-ass mRNA vaccines that only code for fragments of the pathogen, with predictably crap results.

In 1965, I entered UCL Medical School when biochemistry certainly wasn't as exciting as today. The Origin of Life was stuck in the nebulous "Primordial Soup". Watson and Crick had received the Nobel Prize in 1962 and the structure of DNA was a wonder to behold. We have come a long, long way in the subsequent almost 60 years.

This video makes a fair representation of previously ‘kicked around’ and examined theories about dark energy…. But what about Inversion Physics?? Chris appears to be unaware of this concept that springs from super-rotation data deep within our earth! This concept first found in geo-physics will likely lead to a clearer understanding of: 1) The gravity-induced spinor tendency in the fluid setting deep within our earth and other planets; 2) An immense number of possible fractal analogies in quantum mechanics from this original geophysics ‘inverted buoyancy’ super-rotation tensor analysis; 3) Importantly, assuming conservation of energy and momentum will be clarified as an ‘overall energy-density conserved fact’ - Then an amplification of space is needed to accommodate such a ‘constant energy density’ reality. The creation of such additional energy&space from the likes of ‘perpetual earthly rotations’ is capped by the inversion of the simplest integral as derived in the University of Surrey math proof of 2012. Bottom line: Inversion Physics conjectures contain great explanations for an accelerated expansion of our universe, the red shift, spinors, etc. UK Drs. Alessandro Torrielli and Simon Ruinsenaars are both familiar with the math foundation of this form of dark energy. (And listen to the Edward Teller's interview about attending an Einstein lecture in the early 1920s.). Again, very enjoyable video.

Whoa, congrats on the amino acid synthesis! Especially cysteine, which I've read is notoriously hard to produce but (as you also say) massively important for catalysis. This seems like a huge blow to the cyanosulfidic theory, if cyanides are no longer necessary and you can really achieve this in a one-pot system

A set of questions I wish I could ask is: has recent work and understanding of metabolomes, and related multi-omics, provided insight into proto-metabollism? Are there certain extant organisms which might be good models for the work you are doing, and where work on their metabolomes could drive your research forward? What tools coming out of metabolome research seem promising for your work?

Thanks for sharing .... greetings from Indonesia

I only came across Dr. Lane a few months ago and thought I had seen all vids he was featured in on KZfaq, however I'm delighted i'm getting another hour of him speaking!

The 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to researchers who discovered that DNA is very unstable. That surprising discovery led them to predict and then discover error correction machinery that counters that instability. Without that error correction machinery DNA-based life would be impossible. That ran counter to the expectation that DNA was stable and that is why it won out over the instable RNA. But now one has to ask how could blind, mindless and purposeless processes "know" that error correction machinery was needed for DNA-based life to be viable? How the heck does blind, mindless and purposeless processes even care about errors? They are OK with making rocks! How do those processes even know about errors? Someone hasn't thought this through.

So the human body is an electronic energy processing machine. The brain is a bio-chemical computor. All of it is basically made of atoms in turn made of pure energy. Why energy wants to make life ? Id love to know.

Look, there is no evidence here. For you who maybe taken in , he’s treating you as fools.

I appreciate how Dr. Lane readily admits what is speculation as well as his personal lack of knowledge.

If you scientifically analyzed his discription of a random RNA string psychologically , he seemed to rush through that bit? Was he feeling a little guilty perhaps.

"What makes the origin of life and of the genetic code a disturbing riddle is this: the genetic code is without any biological function unless it is translated: that is, unless it leads to the synthesis of the proteins whose structure is laid down by the code. But the machinery by which the cell translates the code consists of at least fifty macromolecular components which are themselves coded in the DNA. *Thus the code cannot be translated except by using certain products of its translation.* This constitutes a baffling circle; a really vicious circle, it seems, for any attempt to form a model or theory of the genesis of the genetic code. Thus we may be faced with the possibility that the origin of life (like the origin of physics) becomes an impenetrable barrier to science, and a residue to all attempts to reduce biology to chemistry and physics." -- Sir Karl Popper "The scientific method does not allow us to exclude data which lead to the conclusion that the universe, life and man are based on design. To be forced to believe only one conclusion -- that everything in the universe happened by chance -- would violate the very objectivity of science itself." --Wernher von Braun

Do you indeed disbelieve in He who created the earth in two days and attribute to Him equals? That is the Lord of the worlds." He placed on it firmly set mountains over its surface, and He blessed it and determined therein its [creatures'] sustenance in four days without distinction - for [the information] of those who ask. Then He directed Himself to the heaven while it was smoke and said to it and to the earth, 'Come [into being], willingly or by compulsion.' They said, 'We have come willingly.' And He completed them as seven heavens within two days and inspired in each heaven its command. And We adorned the nearest heaven with lamps and as protection. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing."

So, emerging of information is no problem. You just take pattern of no-information sequence and repeat it to fulfill certain function (7:00-8:00). Are you serious??

True.

Friends of Imperial College are directed to a book soon to be published towards the end of October by Austin Macauley Publishers titled " From Chemistry to Life on Earth " outlining in detail the origin of the genetic code and the ribosome as well as a thorough scenario from prebiotic chemistry all the way up to the Animalia.

Can Dr. Nick Lane take up Dr. James Tour's challenge for origin of life that he issued late August 2023? Dr. Lane would have 60 days to respond.

Dr Wu, thank you for the informative video. It is insightful.

Science fantasy at its best . . Should get an award for this brilliant story telling ; )

"Um" is not a word, neither is "Ah".

Thanks for uploading this, Dr. Lane is a genius and a super communicator.

The difference between science and religion is that you don't have to create an entire separate mythos to make science sound feasible......discuss haha eres to u Doc, ta

Ur mind Doc Is an amazing place, but, as a northerner I just wanted you to say bye gum, or ecky thump on lex fridman's pc😂 thanx for firing my synapses for me, ta Doc. M🤟

❣️ 'Promo sm'

I wish you would do more public lectures. Thank you for your work.

Given that whether you choose metabolism first or RNA World as your origin of life scenario, DNA arrives later. Was DNA invented by the developing life or was it discovered and found useful only later to take over the operation? Also, given that there is a lot of information implicit in the chemistry preceding the arrival of DNA how did DNA go about gathering that information and encoding it for later use by itself and its descendants? Finally, was the number of amino acids (twenty) fixed at the beginning or was the initial set smaller and did it grow to twenty and stop at that number by historical accident?
