Hypotheses about the origins of life (article)
In this article, we'll examine scientific ideas about the origin of life on Earth. The when of life's origins (3.5 billion years ago or more) is well-supported by fossils and radiometric dating. But the how is much less understood. In comparison to the central dogma or the theory of evolution, hypotheses about life's origins are much more...hypothetical.
Life
Life - Origin, Evolution, Abiogenesis: Perhaps the most fundamental and at the same time the least understood biological problem is the origin of life. It is central to many scientific and philosophical problems and to any consideration of extraterrestrial life. Most of the hypotheses of the origin of life will fall into one of four categories: Hypothesis 1, the traditional contention of ...
7 Theories on the Origin of Life
Molecules of life met on clay. Deep-sea vents. Born from ice. Understanding DNA. Simple beginnings. Life came from space. Additional resources. Bibliography. The origin of life on Earth began more ...
Theory of the Origin, Evolution, and Nature of Life
1. Introduction. How life abides by the second law of thermodynamics yet evolutionarily complexifies and maintains its intrinsic order is a fundamental mystery in physics, chemistry, and biology [].Solving this problem requires an interdisciplinary knowledge and an awareness of conventional theories, especially those related to the origin and evolution of life.
Theories of the Origin and Early Evolution of Life
The endosymbiont hypothesis has been widely accepted, although recent data on protein targeting suggests the origin of organelles may not be so simple. Impact. Once Pasteur and Virchow discredited the theory of spontaneous generation it became difficult to discuss the origin of life outside a theological context.
Evolution
evolution, theory in biology postulating that the various types of plants, animals, and other living things on Earth have their origin in other preexisting types and that the distinguishable differences are due to modifications in successive generations. The theory of evolution is one of the fundamental keystones of modern biological theory.. The diversity of the living world is staggering.
Biology
Biology - Origin, Evolution, Life: If a species can develop only from a preexisting species, then how did life originate? Among the many philosophical and religious ideas advanced to answer that question, one of the most popular was the theory of spontaneous generation, according to which, as already mentioned, living organisms could originate from nonliving matter.
Origin of Life on Earth
In the 1920s, Alexander Oparin and J. B. S. Haldane independently proposed nearly identical hypotheses for how life originated on Earth. Their hypothesis is now called the Oparin-Haldane hypothesis, and the key steps are: The Oparin-Haldane hypothesis has been continually tested and revised, and any hypothesis about how life began must account ...
Biogenesis: Theories Of Life's Origin
Abstract. Biogenesis provides an up-to-date and detailed discussion of the interdisciplinary study of the origin of life, including in-depth investigations into its history, assumptions, experimental strategies, theories, models, and controversies. Written both critically and objectively, the book explores topics including the history of the ...
Origins of Life I
An early hypothesis about the origin of life which states that living organisms arose from nonliving substances, such as maggots from meat. The concept of spontaneous generation dates back to the time of the ancient Greeks and was widely accepted in Western culture until Louis Pasteur's experiments in the mid-19th century disproved the idea.
The 7 most popular theories for the origin of life
Life could have started in the deep oceans. Another popular theory today is the hydrothermal vent theory or deep-sea vent theory for the origin of life. Located in the ocean depths close to ...
The origin of life: what we know, what we can know and what we will
The origin of life (OOL) problem remains one of the more challenging scientific questions of all time. In this essay, we propose that following recent experimental and theoretical advances in systems chemistry, the underlying principle governing the emergence of life on the Earth can in its broadest sense be specified, and may be stated as follows: all stable (persistent) replicating systems ...
Theories of origin of life on Earth
Origin of Earth: hypothesis. It has been assumed that life has been originated about 5-6 billion years ago. Two hypotheses has been proposed for the origin of Earth: 1. Planetesimal hypothesis: It proposes that origin of earth took place as a part broken off from the molten mass of sun. 2.

Origin of Life Theories
Panspermia theory does not try to explain how life began in outer space; that is beyond the scope of the hypothesis. With the frequency of meteor strikes all over the planet, not only could this hypothesis explain where life came from, but it could also explain how life spread out over various geographic areas. ...

Origin Of The Universe: 8 Different Theories
2. Hindu Cosmology. Religion and science have been the best of enemies since at least the time of Copernicus and Galileo. There is perhaps no room for science when we talk about religion and vice-versa. However, there is one religion whose cosmological beliefs sit well with the current model of the Universe.
The Origin of the Universe, Earth, and Life
Hubble's hypothesis of an expanding universe leads to certain deductions. One is that the universe was more condensed at a previous time. From this deduction came the suggestion that all the currently observed matter and energy in the universe were initially condensed in a very small and infinitely hot mass.
20.2: Origin of the Universe
The mysterious details of events prior to and during the origin of the universe are subject to great scientific debate. The prevailing idea about how the universe was created is called the big-bang theory. Although the ideas behind the big-bang theory feel almost mystical, they are supported by Einstein's theory of general relativity . Other ...

Philosophy of History
Philosophy of History. First published Sun Feb 18, 2007; substantive revision Tue Nov 24, 2020. The concept of history plays a fundamental role in human thought. It invokes notions of human agency, change, the role of material circumstances in human affairs, and the putative meaning of historical events. It raises the possibility of "learning ...
A Brief History of the Hypothesis
Scientists are commonly taught to frame their experiments with a "hypothesis"—an idea or postulate that must be phrased as a statement of fact, so that it can be subjected to falsification. The hypothesis is constructed in advance of the experiment; it is therefore unproven in its original form. The very idea of "proof" of a ...
The Geographical Pivot of History
"The Geographical Pivot of History" is an article submitted by Halford John Mackinder in 1904 to the Royal Geographical Society that advances his heartland theory. [1] [2] [3] ... Critics of the theory also argue that in modern day practice, the theory is outdated due to the evolution of technological warfare, as at the time of publication ...

Philosophy of history
philosophy of history, the study either of the historical process and its development or of the methods used by historians to understand their material. The term history may be employed in two quite different senses: it may mean (1) the events and actions that together make up the human past, or (2) the accounts given of that past and the modes ...

[2408.11045] Representation Theory of Solitons
Solitons in two-dimensional quantum field theory exhibit patterns of degeneracies and associated selection rules on scattering amplitudes. We develop a representation theory that captures these intriguing features of solitons. This representation theory is based on an algebra we refer to as the "strip algebra", $\\textrm{Str}_{\\mathcal{C}}(\\mathcal{M})$, which is defined in terms of the non ...
