EvC Forum: Short history of the universe

It all started 13.75 Billion years ago give or take 0.11 billion. A singularity exploded and our universe began. The first matter was probably helium and hydrogen and trough their mass they generated gravity that pulled the first clumps together, clumps collided and the larger they grew the stronger the gravity and when the clumps got big enough they formed the first stars. Trough the process that go on in a star heavier elements where made and some 4.5 billion years ago after countless explosions and reformations of stars and solar systems, our solar system started to form. The 3d planet from the sun smack in the middle of the goldilocks zone the earth started to form. A billion and a half years later the first life form formed on earth trough abiogenesis or was brought here on an asteroid, or possibly space sewage ejected from a porter-potty of an alien craft

. If the first life form was formed by abiogenesis it probably happened similarly this.

Complex biological molecules and protocells

Sidney W. Fox also experimented with abiogenesis and the primordial soup theory. In one of his experiments, he allowed amino acids to dry out as if puddled in a warm, dry spot in prebiotic conditions. He found that, as they dried, the amino acids formed long, often cross-linked, thread-like, submicroscopic molecules now named "proteinoids".

In another experiment using a similar method to set suitable conditions for life to form, Fox collected volcanic material from a cinder cone in Hawaii. He discovered that the temperature was over 100 degrees Celsius just four inches beneath the surface of the cinder cone, and suggested that this might have been the environment in which life was created—molecules could have formed and then been washed through the loose volcanic ash and into the sea. He placed lumps of lava over amino acids derived from methane, ammonia and water, sterilized all materials, and baked the lava over the amino acids for a few hours in a glass oven. A brown, sticky substance formed over the surface and when the lava was drenched in sterilized water a thick, brown liquid leached out. It turned out that the amino acids had combined to form proteinoids, and the proteinoids had combined to form small, cell-like spheres. Fox called these "microspheres", a name that subsequently was displaced by the more informative term protobionts. His protobionts were not cells, although they formed clumps and chains reminiscent of cyanobacteria.

Now after the first simple cell formed evolution took over, a very simple process following simple rules. the first life form reproduced itself but life never reproduces itself perfectly these copying errors had 3 possible outcomes 1 the offspring had less or no chance reproducing successfully, the offspring had the same chance of reproducing as the parent, or the offspring had a better chance of reproducing. So simply put those that had a lesser chance of reproducing died out those who had the same chance where "overrun" by those that had a better chance of reproducing. It then took a long time for the first multicellular organism to evolve. 3 billion years for the first multicellular organism from single cell organisms. But multicellular organisms basicly exploded because so many more possibilities where now open to them so many new niches to exploit and thrive in. As time went by many extinction events caused the extinction of many creatures. At one point in earth's history 95% of all life on the planet went extinct, but these extinction events reopened niches for the survivors to fill. But then a new creature evolved instead of claws, strength, speed, poison or similar things the majority of life uses to survive it used his mind. It was simple at first communication, sticks and stones as tools, then came fire. And the smarter the offspring of each generation where the better chance they had to survive, the better chance to pass their genes on, and the smarter they where the more they bent the planet to their will, but smart as they where they still dint have the technology and understanding to realise all this but they had to know their curiosity demanded it. So things they did not understand, like death, lightning the weather ... where explained by magical beings and souls and other imaginary things. But some did not accept those imaginary answers so when they told those people that gods had their home on mount Olympus they climbed to see, they told them that god rained in the sky, bt that dint sop those kind of people so humanity flew soared even left our planet, now they tell us that god lives beyond space and time do they really think this will stop us from checking.

My little rant for those who do not grasp what we know trough science, do what you will with it.
