Starting in the 1970s, British astronomers Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe rekindled interest in panspermia. By careful spectroscopic observation and analysis of light from distant stars they found new evidence, traces of life, in the intervening dust. They also proposed that comets, which are largely made of water-ice, carry bacterial life across galaxies and protect it from radiation damage along the way. One aspect of this research program, that interstellar dust and comets contain organic compounds, has been pursued by others as well. It is now widely accepted that space contains the “ingredients” of life. This development could be the first hint of a huge paradigm shift. But mainstream science has not accepted the hard core of modern panspermia, that whole cells seeded life on Earth.
I agree with the panspermia approach to the distribution of life throughout the galaxy.
Love to see what has arisen elsewhere , but the chances of having sentient life existing at the same time in the galaxy is very small.They rise , dwell and die in cycles that do not necessari;y match each other.
But their seed?
It appears to be quite profoundly present throughout.
