Recreate conditions that are supposed to give birth to life on earth

We still do not know what is the cause of life on earth. Some believe that electricity is an important factor for life to emerge, multiply and develop as it is today.

The experiment simulates early electromagnetic formation conditions

In a mammalian body, there is also a direct current , for example, the normal human body is measured from 10 to 100 mV. To test the hypothesis of "electricity generating life," scientists at NASA's JPL Propulsion Research Institute experimented with simulating early electromagnetic formation conditions.

Before the time of life formed , the earth was just a hot planet , with only rocks and many other inorganic substances. Somehow, between these inorganic things formed the first life. Scientists have tried to create one of the primitive environments that simulated the earth's conditions at the time, to find out "where does life come out?". They built a chemical garden , which is a miniature replica of the seabed conditions. In this case, a test tube is used to describe the smoke rising from the hydrothermal tubes in the ocean.

This hydrothermal tube is found under the Atlantic Ocean

Scientists note that only a few basic compounds including iron sulfide and iron hydroxide are eligible to generate electricity. In the "gardens " created in the experiment, 4 enough energy to light a light bulb. "Chimneys can act as wires on the sea floor. We are harnessing the same energy as the first life on earth ever." Laurie Barge, who is in charge of the project, said.

Researchers believe that humans can find extraterrestrial life, but first we must understand how the origin of life forms, how to develop it to be easier to study. That's why Barge and his colleagues are working on a project to find the source of life on this earth.

4 test tubes, when connected, produce enough electricity to light the bulb
