“Sithamparam et al. introduce a new concept where materials could potentially be a Panspermia 鈥渟eed鈥 instead of organisms. Such a material-based Panspermia seed, exemplified by prebiotic polyester gels, must be capable of enduring spaceflight that would eventually land on a planet to begin chemical evolution processes. The image shows a meteorite carrying such gels falling to a liquid body of an exoplanet resembling those in the planetary system of the star TRAPPIST-1. The gels (in green) then phase transition into droplets that interact with the ambient environment’s chemical space and go on to become 鈥渓ife鈥 of some sort (in violet).”
