Surprising Insights from US Experiment: The Unexpected Truth About Extraterrestrial Life Forms

Extraterrestrial Life Might Not Need Organic Compounds!

Recent research led by biologist, bacteriologist, and evolutionary biologist Betül Kaçar from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA) has identified 270 different autocatalytic reaction cycles, most of which don’t require organic compounds.

This suggests that the search for extraterrestrial life might need a new direction.

Previously, it was believed that the “life-making reaction” required organic compounds. However, the new study shows that biochemical reactions could originate from the most unusual materials and conditions – such as mercury or radioactive thorium, rare gases like xenon, all of which are deadly to Earthly life.
