The origin of life (en)

Voici une série de trois vidéos de vulgarisation sur les origines de la vie d'un point de vue biologique et physique. Vous allez voir que le boulot est presque terminé. C'est vraiment hyper intéressant, surtout de savoir qu'on en est arrivé là. Mais je dois dire que j'ai hâte qu'on réalise tous ensemble que c'est bien dans la conscience et pas dans la vie que réside le vrai mystère.

Where Did Life Come From?
The origin of life is one of the most important mysteries in all of science. When did life begin? How did life first evolve from chemistry? Where did life get started? In some primordial soup or somewhere else? Let’s journey back to the origin of life, as best as we know it, from the RNA world do the last universal common ancestor of everything alive today.



What Was the Ancestor of Everything?
The search for our origins go back to a single common ancestor -- one that remains shrouded in mystery. It’s the ancestor of everything we know and today scientists call it the last universal common ancestor, or LUCA.



Physics of Life
Our universe is prone to increasing disorder and chaos. So how did it generate the extreme complexity we see in life? Actually, the laws of physics themselves may demand it.
