Long before Earth was born the building blocks of life were already floating in space
Ancient meteorites discovered on our planet suggest they formed even before Earth existed
These rocky visitors carry organic molecules like amino acids which are essential for life as we know it
That means life’s ingredients weren’t just cooked up here
They were drifting across the cosmos waiting to collide with the right planet at the right time
When Earth was still young and molten
these meteorites may have delivered the spark that set evolution in motion
And if it happened here
why not elsewhere
The idea is as poetic as it is scientific
Maybe life isn’t a miracle that happened only once
Maybe it’s a natural part of the universe’s chemistry
waiting to bloom wherever the conditions are just right
Some scientists call it panspermia
the theory that life spreads through space like seeds in the wind
Crashing into planets
soaking into oceans
and shaping ecosystems across the stars
It is still a theory
but every time we find complex molecules in space or deep inside meteorites
the case grows stronger
Earth may not be special
We may be one of many worlds where the universe planted its life-seeds
For those who gaze at the night sky wondering if we are alone
this discovery whispers a tantalizing maybe not
Follow WHAT THE FACT for more deep space wonders and discoveries that could change everything we know about life itself
