The Barrier and the Gradients to Drive the Growth of Proton Cells
Long chain molecules are the easiest organic molecules to make under those conditions. They form what we optimistically call proto cells, a bilair membrane surrounding an aqueous space. If they just sit there and stick to the barrier, then whatever's crossing that barrier is going to go into the cells as well. The same gradients across the barrier and the cell can drive the growth of the cella. Can that cell now make two cells and so on? We've not really shown that yet, but impressiesand if it does, then you've effectively got the natural gradients driving the growth and replication of proto cels.
