Скачать или смотреть The Machine That Bypassed Biology: See How Life's First Polymers Were Zipped Into Existence!

An unlikely alliance between an idea and a world-class membrane biophysicist yielded an astonishing device designed to test theories of abiogenesis. Observe the automated system cycling small dishes through precise cycles of wetting and drying under conditions reminiscent of early Earth—high heat, acidic pH, and a CO2 atmosphere. The critical insight lies in the final dehydration phase: simple lipid molecules and basic RNA precursors are physically aligned, creating complex polymers without any enzymatic assistance. This demonstration provides a tangible, non-biological answer to how the first informational molecules could have spontaneously assembled, effectively solving the original 'chicken-and-egg' puzzle of life's origins.
