#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

very difficult to answer scientifically right you you are just you just took the problem away from this planet and formulated in a way that i cannot go and try to understand in the lab doing experiments or even through models does it though so i've heard brilliant biologists like yourself say that but i just to me okay here's how i think of earth

#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

So I know the exact episodes of Star Trek you're talking about.

#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

But that's not what panspermia is about.

#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

You're talking about my proposition.

#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

That's not what panspermia is.

#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

I don't think panspermia usually articulates at the level of eukaryotes.

#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

I think they talk about...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

Yeah, but it's... I mean, it's definitely...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

interesting to listen to, but I wouldn't know how to place it in the studies of origin of life, I guess, or early life.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

How do you answer that question?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

How do you understand that with fundamentals of chemistry and physics?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

But you're talking about panspermia, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

Just, I don't understand how would you, it's different than, if you think it's similar to looking for life in the universe, is that what you're thinking?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

But a whole entire organism is not a missing component like that, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

But... See, okay, so think... But, yeah.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

I don't think so.

#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

I mean, there will be, the failure is not going to indicate that this must have been, I don't think anyone will put the problem to something else just because our failures, our experiments failed.
