#404 – Lee Cronin: Controversial Nature Paper on Evolution of Life and Universe

2652.631 - 2679.348 Lee Cronin

If you could find molecules, say, greater than 350 molecular weight with more than 15 fragments, you have found artifacts that can only be produced, at least on Earth, by life. Now, you would say, oh, well, maybe the geological process. I would argue very vehemently that that is not the case. But we can say, look, if you don't like the cutoff on Earth, go up higher, 30, 100, right?
