The Cosmic Origins of Life
This chapter examines the formation of life-essential elements through cosmic processes and their implications for life's existence. It details the conditions necessary for rocky planets like Earth, the formation of the Moon, and the early conditions that may have led to life in Earth's oceans. The narrative emphasizes the significance of the habitable zone and explores how random molecular interactions might have spurred the emergence of simple life forms over billions of years.
