• Sommario/riassunto: This book explores the scientific inquiries into the origin of life, focusing on the interplay of physics and chemistry. It examines various hypotheses, including the role of polygonal shapes in cells, the properties of oil droplets, and the concept of tensegrity. The text delves into the emergence of life from abiotic conditions, the possible contribution of the Archaea domain, and models such as the Fish Ladder and the S-Layer. The book also discusses the contribution of cosmic events like the Late Heavy Bombardment to life's origins. Designed for scientific researchers and students in fields like astrobiology and biochemistry, it provides a comprehensive survey of current theories and scientific evidence regarding how life may have originated on Earth.
