Delving into the challenges and insights of origin of life theories, the chapter discusses the need for deep experimentation and the limitations of simulation in understanding the complexities of chemistry. Emphasizing the quest for complexity and the significance of real molecule experiments, it sheds light on the evolving paradigms in origin of life research.
How does a group of molecules transition into something that is life? And what do even mean when we say 'life'?
To explore the origin of life, we’re joined again by Sara Walker, Deputy Director of the Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science, Associate Professor in Earth and Space Exploration and Complex Adaptive Systems at Arizona State University, and External Faculty at the Santa Fe Institute.
