Asteroids, Comets and Meteorites: The Source of Life on Earth?

摘要

In this letter, I present a brief report on asteroids, comets and meteorites in our solar system and other parts of the universe, giving brief comment about their structure and composition. It has been a long quest by mankind to discover his origin which most people believe occurred in the oceans of the Earth billions of years ago when complex organic molecules were formed and started replicating themselves. Some new concepts differ from this view and search out the seeds of our origin in celestial objects. I present my views based on molecular physics expositions with a new model approach to look at the problem on the molecular scale.
