I'm hip with your 'second hurdle'. I was jammin' on the same def beat.
KIND of related to this thread... I would like to know if anybody knows what kind of gravitational and chemical limitations are set on theories of ambiogenesis...
This would require:
1. some understood, concrete proposals for ambiogenesis
2. a 'buttload' of knowledge of chemistry
3. some phat physics knowledge
this would give us SOME understanding of the limits of 'life as we know it' existing on other planets. For sure, there's got to be other replicating molecules in other planetary gravitational / chemical configurations.. and if you could propose any of those, I'd be all ears for that too.
Come on, there's a lot of smart guys here. Anybody interested to try?
