The directed panspermia crowd would likely agree on the dating of the universe and earth but would place the origin of life much earlier in a galaxy far, far away.

Is there a school of "undirected" panspermia which believes life could have arisen long ago and far away and the elementary particles dispersed by supernova explosions?

And why isn't there a panova crowd?

Thank you so much for your question!

Astrobiology addresses the undirected question. In addition to that mission statement, you might find interesting their reaction to the directed panspermia idea.

What would be the definition of panova?

Rats, I should have included this link to exobiology because it leads to astrobiology. Sorry about that!
