The Origin of Life - Abiogenesis by cdk007

This has been CONFIRMED in Dr. Szostak's LAB!!

It's been 55 years since the Miller-Urey Experiment, and science has made enormous progress on solving the origin of life. This video summarizes one of the best leading models. Yes there are others. Science may never know exactly how life DID start, but we will know many ways how life COULD start. Don't be fooled by creationist arguments as even a minimal understanding of biology and chemistry is enough to realize they have no clue what they are talking about.

Note on how competition works. Water will flow across a membrane to try to equalize the ion concentration. If there is a lot of polymer in a vesicle it will be surrounded by many ions, thus causing water to flow into the vesicle, increasing the internal pressure and stretching the membrane. Fatty acids are in equilibrium between the vesicle and solution. If 2 vesicles are near one another they will gradually swap fatty acids. If one membrane is under tension, the fatty acid "on rate" will be greater than the "off rate" (move to a lower energy state by relaxing the pressure). It will suck up fatty acids from solution. The other vesicle will still give them off, but they will disappear (sucked up by neighbor) and not return. Therefore, the vesicle with high internal pressure will grow and the neighbor will shrink.

name of the song plz

@vivaramones1 Well that has already been research extensively and for the most part we already know it (talking about your pandora box comment). Problem now is we have to separate which scenario was more likely to be the one that we have derived from. Other than that I think the poster of the vid wanted to only give a overview. Not a 2000 hour video of how everything works together or how certain molecules attract etc etc. Its supposed to spark curiosity and get people to look it up themesleves.

@vivaramones1 That's the thing: they don't have to come together perfectly, and even if they did, just think of how many fatty acid vesicles form in a sink of water. Consider an ocean of vesicles.

Besides, the stuff in the video was discovered by Dr Jack Szostak (Google him) and his lab is working on this as we speak.

@vivaramones1 face palm* -_-

@vivaramones1 Eh, ok, so it´s 3.1, I said 3.5 billion. I dont get where you disagree with me.. The oldest fossilised organisms to be found are not simple enough to have been the first living things, that´s basicly all I was saying..

[vivaramones1]

@Korkzor been discovered so that's not the case. This doesn't mean evolution isn't true but it just means the mystery just deepens though...

[vivaramones1]

@Korkzor ur wrong man! There has been fossil since 3.1 billion years ago, right after the heavy bombardment era. Not until 540 million years ago with out provocation and warning and less than 1 million years there were complicated creatures. That's a 160 year old mystery that has not still been explained or solved. Before the Cambridge Explosion and the Precambrian era, most fossils are intact, but however, there is little or no transitional forms are found though. Soft bodied species have...

[vivaramones1]

well this video just opens a Pandora's box of how to explain thousands of more variables and experiments to prove all how these proteins and fatty acids came together perfectly.

[Korkzor]

@Korkzor Older organisms than that would not have fossilised and so we can follow the clues given us from the past in order to figure out what happened. Like you can figure out the chemical structure of earth, the gasses, the molecules etc.

Then much like a detective trail you go to the lab with these things and see what results you get.

The results are in the video.

[Korkzor]

@JCinBergen No, it´s still very possible for "God" to have planted life on the earth and just let it sit their on it´s own.

No abiogenesis is simply a state of not knowing. Not having a clue about abiogenesis simply means we don´t have a clue.

You acknowledge abiogenesis too, except you think a god did it magicly by turning dirt into humans.

One day there wasn´t life on the planet, one day there was; abiogenesis.

The oldest simplest fossils found are 3.5. billion years old
