INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS, LONDON: August 16, 2007—Satnews Daily—As a gentle reminder, life is precious… in a recent report from the Institute of Physics, new evidence has been uncovered that reveals life-like structures formed from inorganic substances have been found in space. Hinted at in the article is that life beyond earth may not necessarily use building blocks of carbon-based molecules. Plus, such may possibly point to a brand new explanation as to how life started on earth. Seems that under the right conditions, inorganic dust particles can organize into helical structures which can then interact with one another in ways normally associated with organic compounds and, yes, life itself. So when you next clean your office or your bedroom, be kind to those dust bunnies – they may be your relatives!
