Part 7: Feelin' the Vibe

Part 6 <-7-> Part 8

Nobody: "..."

Me: "ok so here's my hypothesis on how life on earth got started..."

First off, though:

• Bad vibes: Crystal frequency vibration healing and other woo-woo
• Good vibes: Actual science with receipts

Yes i'm aware this is a stretch.

Since we've already covered ionising radiation (it's got its own jingle in my head now) in the form of alpha decay particles, we can look at yet another form of ionising radiation: Photochemical ionisation. More specifically, Ultraviolet light radiation.

4 things to keep in mind:

• C,G,A,T molecules can be created somewhere due to the fact that we have found them on asteroids
• The same molecules bind with hydrogen bonds, which can be achieved with ionising radiation, such as UV-C (Not related to USB-C)
• UV radiation will have been super harsh during the time that the earth had no atmospshere. Or at least one filled with oxygen. At least i don't think there were any significant amounts of Ozone back then.
• DNA helixes can be manipulated with sound, to various effects

Also Fun Fact: UV-C is a little too close to X-rays (did elon name these?) for my liking as far as ionising radiation goes.

Essentially what i'm saying is that there are too many factors contributing to newly forming biomechanical things, and since we can find these things, such as Stromatolites in the fossil record, we know they happened. To be honest, this piece turned out to be way too big and complex for me to just summarise and it's simpy interesting facts, but do not add to the overall story.

So I'll kind of gloss over the first couple billion years until we get to multicellular life. Until the great oxygenation event, these pre-life and lifeforms bascally just sat there for 3 billion years performing the first stages of terraforming and creating oxygen in addition to it being released from elsewhere, much in the same way we still find gas trapped underground.
