Are we all Mars?

Over the years we have all believed that the life of every creature, including humanity, originated on Earth. But a recent scientific study has suggested that life may have originated on Mars, then followed meteorites leaving Mars that came to Earth.

>>>Life in the earth comes from Mars

The results of the study were presented by Professor Steven Benner of the Westheimer Institute of Science and Technology (USA) in the Goldschmidt 2013 Chemistry Conference in Florence, Italy from August 25-30. .

In the era of billions of years ago, compared to Earth, Mars had more suitable conditions for the development of life. At that time, the Earth had no elements to make life, namely, there were no minerals to form RNA, the first gene molecule of the organism.

For years, scientists have studied how the atom uses to form three important factors that make up the organism's origin: RNA (Ribonucleic acid), DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) and Protein.

The molecules that make up genetic material are much more complex than the original organic materials that the Earth itself was born 3 billion years ago. If simply adding heat or light to those original organic materials, they can only form tar (tar) rather than RNA.

Moreover, on Earth at the beginning, minerals were most useful for RNA formation - that is, minerals containing Boron element and the molybdenum element - which were dissolved in seawater, because of that time. The surface of the Earth is submerged in the sea of ​​water, but the water corrodes and destroys RNA.

Meanwhile on Mars there is a huge reserve of that mineral. Mars also had water on that day but not much, only about a very small part of Mars's surface was flooded.

'It proves that before the life of a meteorite (falling from Mars) to Earth, life was born on this red planet,' said Professor Benner.

He said that the element Boron and Molipidium contained in minerals are two important elements for atoms to make RNA, but as mentioned above, the early Earth was not suitable for mineral formation. Boron and Molipid.

Benner explains: Only when the Molipidium is highly oxidized - ie, the formation of Diplipidium, can it affect the early formation of life. If you want to have a high degree of oxidation, you must have oxygen.

But Benner said: Three billion years ago, the Earth lacked oxygen, so it was impossible to oxidize the Liplipidium. But Mars is drier, has a lot of oxygen, more suitable for the formation of Boron and Molipidic minerals.

Therefore, even though there are a certain number of minerals containing Boron and Liplipidium on Earth, their chemical morphology cannot help RNA formation.

'These say that we are actually born on Mars, but then follow meteorites to Earth,' concluded Prof. Benner.

In other words, life originated in Martian soil, then due to external impacts or volcanic eruptions, some of these rocks became meteorites flying out of Mars and some fell to the Left. Land.

Currently there are about 1 billion tons of lava floating in the space between Mars and Earth, when hit by asteroids, they break into meteorites and fall to our Earth.

Anyway, Benner admitted that Earth is a planet better suited for the survival of living things. He said: 'Assuming that the Martian ancestors that we surmised now are still there, we have nothing to say'.

Boron is the chemical element symbol B, atomic number 5, Vietnamese called Bo. Molybdenum is the Vietnamese name for the chemical symbol Mo, atomic number 42, Latin name Molybdenum.

Is it because of seeing the importance of Mars in the formation of human origins that Obama, after taking office as President, changed the direction of NASA's research, shifting the focus from the Moon to the Star. Fire?

Indeed, NASA-launched spacecraft-robots digging into Mars, like the Curiosity, have found that Mars has water and traces of organic matter. If humans were forced to leave Earth, the place they came from could only be Mars.

At present, there are thousands of volunteers registered to attend the one-time trip to Mars to live (with and without), including some Vietnamese people.
