first, you create a chamber with 50 atmospheres pressure. It'll collapse into a crystalline form that looks just like the double-helix of DNA.

You are not seriously suggesting that this structure is 1. life, or 2.contains the same level of encoded infomation we find in DNA, or 3. is DNA?

Aparently you are suggesting that life will then be created by all we have to do is toss in some contaminants, and we can start building DNA.

Is you last name Frankenstein?

No, I'm not suggesting it's life, but one of the big problems has been in figuring out how to start small, with a few chemicals, and build up over time through RNA to DNA ~ kind of a "gradualist" approach to it.

Several months ago some researchers squarshed some water real good and tight and it crystalized into double helix molecules.

Could be life originates in any planet like Earth which once had an enormous methane and hydrogen atmosphere that was blown away by the young Sun.

BTW, Jupiter is like Earth in that regard ~ it' has a rocky core very much like Earth's, and Venus' and Mercury's and Mars'.

The atmosphere at the surface of Jupiter (on the rocky core) is many atmospheres ~ the creation of DNA, and life, could be an ordinary matter that happens second by second all over the place on that planet.
