The Building Blocks of Life Can Form Even Without Stars or Planets, Scientists Say
independent.co.uk- Glycine, the simplest amino acid and building block of life, can form without energy.
- It can happen through “dark chemistry”, which doesn’t need energetic radiation to happen.
- Even before stars and planets were formed, glycine could exist in interstellar clouds, forming on icy dust grains.
- This finding could suggest that life-creating molecules could be more widespread in the Universe than we previously thought.
