How common are the elements that give rise to life.

Did the elements come for life to arise from space or did these elements emerge here on Earth? We have new answers to this question, answers that actually open new paths, because, although it is not ruled out that the elements that allowed life to arise on Earth were formed or were already on the primitive Earth, it is not ruled out. These findings confirm that these elements were abundant in the primitive solar system and that they could reach Earth within asteroids.


It opens the way to another more intriguing question and that is that they were common elements in the solar system and therefore they could reach Earth, but they could also reach Mars and Venus, and they could also arrive at the time when Mars and Venus had an option for life to thrive on them. a time when it had liquid water on its surface.


Venus perhaps did not have it for so long, there are doubts, there are two versions, those who say that Venus quickly evolved to what it is now and those who say no, that Venus suffered a catastrophic event between about 400 to 700 million years ago, which completely or almost completely renewed its entire surface, a catastrophic volcanic event and that was what caused Venus to be what it is now.


We know that Mars had water for a longer time, about 1 billion years there could have been water on the surface of Mars, but they had different stories, although in the initial moments they were able to receive all these elements, these these pieces, this Lego to build life.


So we were fortunate that the solar system was formed right in an area that was fertilized, enriched with many elements that arose from those supernovae, those kilonovae, but at the same time it was able to escape at the moment in which the planets were beginning to be born, in which the planets were still germs and therefore be saved from all that stormy aspect that was in the core of our Galaxy.




We all descend from a common ancestor, Luca, he is the first common ancestor, the first ancestor from whom we all share some DNA bases, then each one evolved with more DNA, with less and changes and such, but there are some basic nuclei that we all share, according to scientists, the majority theory is that no, that Mars did receive, for example, these bases of life and combined it with its water, etc., and so on, if life arose on Mars, the DNA of Mars could be to have a different base than the one we have here, that our DNA arose from previous RNA within a biological race in which the one who best transmitted the information survived, the one who duplicated best and who did it most quickly and in that competition that original nucleus won, that Luca, that common ancestor of all of us and since then it has not changed, which is another of the great mysteries. Why hasn't it changed much? Each living being has been enriched, obviously it has a different DNA, but the nucleus remains the same. And what happened to the previous DNAs? Are they all extinct?


Bennu was visited by NASA's Osiris Rex mission and is 525 m in diameter. In Bennu it was already confirmed that it had all the elements or bases that make up our DNA, on March 17, NASA published a statement informing of the solution to another of the intriguing things about the mysteries about Bennu and that is that when the ship arrived in its vicinity in 2018, the scientists were surprised and that they expected to find a surface with large soft areas like a beach of fine sand, based on the observations they had made with ground-based telescopes.


However, Bennu turns out that it was a jungle of rocks, it was all blocks of rock, some the size of cars, others there were rocks the size of houses and there was even some rock the size of a football field, that was quite complicated for the ship after a sample, but well, they managed to do it in 2020 and they managed to bring that sample to Earth in 2023 and then it took them several months to remove the screws from the sample box because they also had a problem there, but in the end they managed it, analyzed and They discovered that Bennu had that whole pack, all those basic elements that are within our DNA.


It turns out that the first observations made from Earth did not take into account that those Bennu rocks were very porous and also have networks of cracks, they are very broken and that in the observations, especially when the heat was measured, made it seem as if Bennu was smooth and no, in the end it was a huge block of rocks.
