Panspermia

Panspermia is a theory about how life arose and can arise on planets.

• Astrobiological term

Description (Specifications)

The basic theory is that biological organic matter becomes embedded within an object hurdled into space. This object then travels along a fortuitous path intersecting a planet with conditions amenable to life.

History & Background (Dossier)

Imperial scientists have long been researching and even experimenting with this theory.

This is a theory of biogenesis. Preexisting life begets life elsewhere. It does not explain how life arose in the first place.
