- Uncover the mind-blowing concept of panspermia-did life on Earth originate from outer space? Explore lithopanspermia's rock-hopping journey, radiopanspermia's interstellar dust ride, and directed panspermia's intentional seeding. Prepare to question everything!
It used to be easy as to find simons channels but now that YT removed the channel tab may all of Simons content rest in peace as no one can find it unless the algorithm feeds it too us about 2 months after it was uploaded!
"We are all made of starstuff" [Carl Sagan]
this show is so good, Simon!
I like the idea of directed panspermia where the originating species did it to ensure there was sufficient food available throughout the universe so that they don't have to pack a lunch when they head out on vacation.
If we go to places that could support life but find none I think it's only logical to seed those places so that life goes on even if we do not.
@@charlottemcbrearty1849 This is the plot of "the expense". More precisely this is the reason the aliens of the story are the bad guys.
Kind of a DUMB idea. By the time life arose from directed panspermia, the launching civilization would either be extinct or so advanced, they could make food on demand via something like a ST replicator.
Oh wow, another channel from Simon? I wonder if there are still more channels out there that I haven't found yet... Gotta put Simon in the thumbnails because it's really the easiest way to find his videos. I can spot that man immediately among the thumbnails and know there's another video I need to watch.
gotta catch them all Simon Whistler
I've never been able to get behind the idea of panspermia, to have it work you have to go into such complex scenarios while abiogenesis is so much simpler. Not to mention that all panspermia does is kick the can down the road, of "how did life originate?" to some most likely never answerable origin, making it more akin to creationism, in my opinion.
But if you think about it, Panspermia and something like abiogenesis could go hand in hand. Earth could have had say 99% of the ingredients for what became life as we know it, then some random space rock carrying that last 1% to really kick things off could have found us.
I completely agree! Panspermia seems highly unlikely and unnecessarily complicated.
@@captainspaulding5963That's not what panspermia is though. We know the conditions for life depend on the conditions in space. Panspermia is the life itself coming from space. If you ask me, I'm sure it has occurred somewhere in the universe, but not here.
Panspermata really does sound like a dish at Olive Garden you are curious about, but not THAT curious about
THANKS !!
The more we learn about both the hardiness of life and the vast multitude of conditions that could transport it, the more likely panspermia seems. Even if it's not specifically the source of life on our planet, I would be very surprised were we to discover life on say Europa or Enceladus, but then not find anything on any of the other moons or orbiting bodies.
to get a rock containing life into orbit by meteor would take a huge impact that would melt the rock, killing any thing in it. no life can survive those conditions.
Awesome video
Incredibly interesting.
Oh hell yeah! Another Simon channel! But YT won’t let me add any more of his channels….. I guess I reached my limit. 😂😂😂
He’s had this since August? Dang YT falling down on the job…😢
“We are made of star stuff” Carl Segan.
Nothing can stop us now. We're all made of stars... someone said that once.
Lets apply logic here.
Abiogenesis is the clear answer, because even should panspermia does occur, life still had to start somewhere by abiogenesis - simple logic.
Does Panspermia exist? Within a given planetary system - highly possible as impacts loft material into space that then further collides with nearby worlds within the system.
Can panspermia work between stars - occasionally perhaps, but not in the manner cited by many advocates. Organic materials are susceptible to high energy radiation, and interstellar space is awash with the stuff, not to forget is is blisteringly cold - only a few degrees above absolute zero or around -270C, organics do not survive long in these conditions, no matter how we may wish it to be different.
Yes factboi!
THAT LOUIS PASTEUR! 😉
What is more impressive is the Pan-Simon theory which states no single human can be on this many CZcams channels.
The most difficult fact for the idea of Panspermia to overcome is the Fermi Paradox.
Strange you did not mention the most possible hypothesis for panspermia.
Life began at all universe when all universe had the correct conditions for life.
Universe began as a small point with an unimaginable density and temperature. And is cooling and expanding since then.
So there was a time when all the universe had the right condition for life. Temperature was warm everywhere, water was liquid everywhere.
So then abiogenesis happened. Microbes spread everywhere, that time.
Since then, as the universe is cooling down, life at the form of spores of very very simple microbes, finds places to evolve. Anywhere the conditions are suitable.
On planets like earth.
Simon, you’ve said that you're a Star Trek fan, yet you don't even MENTION the TNG episode “The Chase”? The ENTIRE EPISODE is about Directed Panspermia!
The algorithm worked, fam. You just popped up in my suggestions. Love the shop, the work, the to-the-point narration. Only critique is the camera you use; it has such a fish-eye effect that your rectangular projects appear squarish instead. Liked and subbed, can't wait for more!
You have a real talent for capturing beautiful shots, your videos are so visually stunning.
On May 14th 1864, twenty fragments from a meteorite crashed into the French city of Orgueil. A separate fragment of the Orgueil meteorite (kept in sealed glass jar since its discovery) was found in 1965 to have a seed capsule in it, while the original glassy layer on the outside remained undisturbed. Despite great initial excitement, the seed was found to be that of a European Juncaceae of rush plant that had been glued into the fragment and camouflaged using coal dust. The outer "fusion layer" was in fact glue. While the perpetrator of this hoax is unknown, it is thought they sought to influence the 19th-century debate on spontaneous generation rather than panspermia by demonstrating the transformation of inorganic to biological matter.
Prove it
How did the early proponents of panspermia think life initially came to be?
In the early universe there was a time where almost all of the universe had liquid water. This could greatly enhance the chance of developing life by chance:

@@wobogoat3379Before I click the link, will I be Rick Rolled if I do?
@@mikeygallos5000 No, it's a Kurzgesagt video of 2 months ago (anything Kurzgesagt is going to be good!)
Scientists used to believe in the steady state theory. This is the view that the current conditions of the universe have always existed for all eternity. In this view, life would have no origin. If it would be some kind of essential feature of the universe.
Yes they did😊
"Where does life come from"
"Space!"
"No, dude, like where did life come from, how did we go from pools of organic materials to cells organizing and coding data?"
"SPACE!"
"Not constructive"
We should do some directed panspermia
What if directed panspermia is the answer, but humanity is the origin? In the timelines mentioned that humans cannot comprehend, why is the assumption that we cannot be the first and that we were “seeded” by others? If humans develop this technology sometime in the future and we send this out, wouldn’t that be suggestive that we are the first? Bonus points in that this would also explain the Fermi paradox and to seal the deal, Occams Razor hypothesis.
It's really just a matter of cosmic chemicals coming together. I saw a lot of cosmic goo around the bus stop out by Oroxins Streaks.
Who knows? Right?
Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan, and Pantera cover
Tardigrades rule the universe 🤟
My first thought when getting to the meat of this video was (because I am a nerd) the fictional symbiote from the Marvel Comics that gave Spider-Man his black costume and led to the character Venom’s creation
Abiogenesis had to occur somewhere, sometime, even if panspermia is proven to be the source of life on Earth. If we discover that life is ubiquitous in the universe, and 99.9999 % is due to panspermia, abiogenesis is still the ultimate source. Somewhere, sometime.
But it seems highly likely that Mars and Venus were seeded with Earth life or were the sources for it.
What if its space chemistry that causes more of the complex molicules to be more omni present there for ready to fall onto new worlds until they stick & cause Abiogenisis.
Drinking game: take a shot every time baldie says panspermia
I'd would have liked to have seen Simeon talk about the point at the early universe when the natural background temp of the universe was well within life supporting range and at that time life began to propagate through out from that point
Well, we did come from the stars in one way or another.
They found plankton on the exterior of the windows on the ISS, gonna assume they got there by being lifted from the ocean by convection currents to the clouds and possibly lightning jets or sprites and trailed in the wake of the planet like a comet tail created by the Sun, the ISS could be passing through this tail (as can the moon) depositing these fine particles where they can accumulate or drift towards the exterior of the solar system landing on anything in their trajectory.
Tardigrades could also theoretically be transported by the same means?
Even the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs could've sent life careening out contaminating objects farther out from the Earths orbit by solar winds.
I always thought we should dump microbes on every planet/moon we can..
If something 'takes out' Earth, at-least we gave life a chance to evolve somewhere else and continue the story
why arent there more lifeforms on earth then, or in space
Now I am not a scientist by any stretch, but I just find it hard to believe that a random space rock ran into earth billions of years ago to start life. To me, it seems like a very inefficient way to spread life considering the vast disances betweens stars and even galaxys.
How hard is it to believe that a random rock hit the earth 65 million years ago that ended majority of life?
If it can happen one way, it can happen the other way, regardless of how improbable it may seem...
If you think this hypothesis is out there, watch a video on how unfathomablly rare and how many improbable situations need to occur so that we can witness solar eclipses in our current point in time.
That's a valid point since paleontologist have found evidence of life as old as 3.8 billion years so the panspermia would have had to arrive at the first instance in which the Earth could host life.
@@sentientflower7891 Thank you for the kind words. I try to be as logical as possible. 😄 So true. The randomness that mainstream science/media portrays our beginnings (panspermia) is ridiculous imo. Creating life or modifying it is targeted. As in like someone or something started our existence here in our solar system. 😁
@@verminkillah6622 targeted? Are you suggesting an omniscient alien.
But where are all the cool aliens?
Area 51😂
As far away from us lame-ass humans as possible 🤣
Avoiding us like the plague!
Abiogenesis happened somewhere, at one point in time no life existed, and in the next moment it did, even if God made it happen, and it wasn't just natural process, abiogenesis happened. Panspermia seems more like an excuse to not be able to have an answer, since if it came from space, we literally can't figure out where it came from, so the search is a pointless endeavor.
Abiogenesis isn't at all possible so panspermia is a non-starter.
my mom said I was no longer allowed to clean the dishes because of panspermia.
Ehhh.. D. Radiodurans
I have always thought that if earth really is the only planet with life, then the reason why earth is as diverse as it is, is because it is our job as the top species to spread life across the universe to other planets, perhaps it started here first and the reason humans are so smart and desperate to learn space travel is because we have the genetic coded responsibility of seeding life everywhere else in the universe. If this is not likely to be true, then life is definitely already out there somewhere on other worlds...
I am surprised that as a species we have not sent some of the extremophile microorganisms from earth to other planets or moons to see if they can survive and propagate
@@IncontrolgamingHDThat would contaminate them and mean if we find life in the future we don't know if we put it there.
missed two of the most obvious hypotheses as far as microbs surviving our sun . They were here first and the planets formed before our sun came to life . Or ....our sun is different than how it is now . Which is likely
It is interesting that some people are neglecting gazillions of conditions that need to be met in order for Earth-like life to travel through the universe. Yet, the same people still believe that carbon is a requirement for life.
Right?!
Wait a second...are we using logic and science? 💡
Sooo...the ancient astronaut people might be right? O_o
My Wife wants to add a purple room. I want to add a recording studio. Simon has a recording studio with PURPLE FUCKING SHADOWS!!! 🖕🏼😂
Finding a microbe in a Martian rock or a Dyson sphere around a faraway star would - unless the microbe on Mars is related to life on Earth - also show us that life is everywhere.
The reason for this is simple. The universe, as gigantic as it is, only uses three numbers. Zero, one and many. Some things are impossible, and thus never happen. Some things are ridiculously unlikely, and most of them will never happen, while rarely one of them happens once. And other things are pretty feasible (this can still be very unlikely by our terms), and thus happen time and time again.
We already know for certain that life occurs at least once - Earth is proof of that. If we find life unrelated to ours, we have confirmation that we aren't the result of a ridiculous coincidence. And that means life _must_ be common, simply thanks to the size of the universe.
In addition, if we find life unrelated to ours _in our solar system,_ that is a sufficiently unlikely coincidence (whether it's on Venus, Mars, Europa, Titan or anywhere else) that we can assume life arises _easily._ Which would mean it probably exists on most, if not all, habitable planets and moons.
Simon made this video just to see how many times he could say panSpermia.
Pancummia
I have been a believer of Panspermia. I believe we came from the stars and when we pass away we go back to the stars.
If this idea proves to be true i wonder how religions will incorporate the information.
While a cool idea, it is kind of meaningless. It just kicks the beginning of life down the road. It would be important if true, and could be true. It is possible. But there is no real evidence of it. And would still leave us wondering how life started in the first place.
I mean, there's no "real" evidence for any theory that we have on the orgins of life..... that's why they are theories and not facts.
Panspermia seems especially likely now that we know how fast single called life emerged on earth. Seems likely that a single cell managed to seed earth.
Fast? Umm, it took 600 million years for the first cells to form (that we know of) after Earth grew out of its angry 300 million year terrible toddler phase. Then it took another 1.7 billion years for Earth to get frisky enough for multicellular life. Not exactly moving at a speedy pace.
Based upon the research I've done, I don't think panspermia brought a single (or several) whole, complete microbes to Earth. I think it brought the building blocks of life (amino acids, nucleotides, etc) that interacted with the chemicals on early Earth to form RNA and the first protocells. It is exceedingly unlikely that a viable living cell would survive the harshness of space for who knows how long, followed by a firy entry into our atmosphere, and then be perfectly suited to proliferate after being plunked onto Earth's violently transmogrifying surface. Seems rather fanciful to me. But we're here, so weird shit did happen at some point, but I'm dubious.
Panspermia and abiogenesis are hypotheses, not theories. Evolution is a scientific theory. The terms are not interchangeable in science. Important distinction when talking to fundamentalist Christians or young earth creationists.
No distinctions matter when talking to those people. They intentionally misunderstand you regardless of your terminology
@@calebbean1384 This is true. I was just upset by the sloppiness of the language in this video since many science illiterate people conflate the two terms (unintentionally or purposefully) and the basement crew really should know better.
it's definitely possible, though.
@@dreamingissleeping Oh totally! They're both very plausible hypotheses. And I honestly believe it's a combination of panspermia, abiogenesis, hydrothermal vents, and RNA world hypotheses that all worked in tandem to formulate life. However, none of these options has risen to the level of scientific theory (aka fact). FaktBoi and the basement bros should have been more careful with their language and not perpetrated the misunderstanding that a scientific theory is just a guess. I fight with fundamentalist Christians and YEC on a near daily basis, so I'm just hyper aware of the shockingly large portion of our population who are woefully ignorant about science.
Scientists don't need to know the difference between theory and hypothesis to practice science. I doubt most have even read kuhn and popper. To a real scientist what's more important are grant proposals style sheets and math. It's not a big deal to a real scientist to mix up theory and hypothesis. That's the kind of stuff that gets philosophers upset not actual scientists
What if, few hundreds milions years ago, just some drunk alien thought it would be fun to...ehm, made himself good on the edge of an ancient lifeless ocean and now were are here. Result of drunk alien's prank.
Clearly Simon and his writers haven't been paying close enough attention since last year, when the JWST pretty much pushed back the age of the universe.
I wonder if this could mean the earth may of been terraformed by an alien race 🤣
Where did life come from on Earth. An asteroid that came from another planet with life. Okay where did life come from on that planet. Well that came from an asteroid from ANOTHER planet that had life. Is an infuriating explanation for the origins of life 😂
You talk so fast I can't even understand you.
Isn't religion a hair brained belief
I go to a alot of trouble to block this speaker and his channels because I really don't like his work. When you have see one of his things the rest is like diareah, it never ends.
