Scientists are quite serious about the fact that humanity, its origin should be due to lightning. Yes, lightning! And they approach this conclusion as follows.
Millions of years ago, our planet was spinning in pitch darkness. And she was enveloped in a dense veil of gas. Gradually, the Earth's atmosphere began to clear. A rather long period of time has passed until the first rays of the Sun illuminated the lifeless and empty surface of our planet. Many more millions of years passed before those vapors that were contained in its atmosphere began to condense, turning into water. The universe is not in a hurry, but still the time has come when the ocean formed on Earth. This is where the opportunity arose to move on to the next act of creation - the creation of life.
American scientists believe that it took nature only 10 million years from the creation of the first similarity of unicellular organisms to the emergence of the first cyanobacteria. Their fossils have been discovered by researchers in Africa and Australia. Modern science dates them to 3.5 billion years. It took only 400 million years to perfect the first microorganisms.
Scientists with a worldwide reputation are constantly experimenting, conducting research to recreate the conditions that once existed on our planet. By the way, scientists for a long time could not answer the question that tormented them: What appeared first - an egg or a chicken? Which compound appeared earlier: RNA (matrix, the engine of all vital matters) or an enzyme, which should be built according to the plan laid down in RNA. What's before?
Yet by 1982, scientists had found "the beginning of all beginnings." It turned out that RNA plays a double role in biochemical processes: sometimes some parts of this molecule play the role of enzymes-catalysts. This means that the synthesis should start from the catalytic part of the RNA. As a consequence, it was suggested that we all owe our origin to lightning - atmospheric electric charges and forced the mixture that made up the primary atmosphere of the Earth (water vapor, hydrogen and ammonia) to undergo synthesis, thanks to which the first organic molecules were obtained, which became harbingers of the creation of all life on Earth.
