Could we discover the secret sauce to spark life on other planets?
In short: Astrobiologist Betül Kaçar explores how mathematical models and chemistry might reveal the ingredients necessary to jumpstart life elsewhere in the universe.
By simulating ancient environments using statistics and mathematical models, Betül Kaçar investigates the origins of existence. She investigates the particular chemical reactions that render Earth uniquely extraordinary relative to the rest of the observable cosmos. The talk poses a profound ethical dilemma: if the technology to initiate life on another planet ever becomes possible, do we have the right to use it?
