| Jan 7, 2022 at 6:35 | comment | added | dnatech | I put out recently a null hypothesis: Life origins are due to calcium apportionment by organic constructs. I am implying life started before cell walls, before staged reproduction with DNA and RNA, before ingestion or excretion, and before respiration. The organic constructs I believe were primarily proteins, perhaps embedded in phospholipids, or some other immiscible liquid. Calcium was there from the start. All the kingdoms of life on this planet utilize calcium in vital processes. | |

Something that could be staring at us right in the face, but for certain reasons, such as our bias in investigating carbon elements exclusively for life properties, and side lining other elements...interesting to note calcium denotes an impending supernova...one day, hunh?...I also realize calcium abundance in a star may not translate to an abundance in any planets around that star. I asked a researcher at Dartmouth College about the plumes of Encedalus...no calcium. | |
