Скачать или смотреть RNA Self-Replication: The Hidden Obstacles Science Can’t Overcome

This video critically examines recent claims about RNA self-replication experiments, highlighting the extensive human intervention, artificial conditions, and low yields that reveal how far current science is from demonstrating that RNA could naturally self-replicate, a key step in the origin of life. The discussion emphasizes that, even under highly optimized lab conditions, true RNA self-replication has not been observed, underlining the vast gap between experimental achievements and plausible prebiotic chemistry.
