Nebula-Relay Hypothesis: Primitive Life in Nebula and Origin of Life on Earth [PDF]
A modified version of panspermia theory, named Nebula-Relay hypothesis or local panspermia, is introduced to explain the origin of life on Earth. Primitive life, acting as the seeds of life on Earth, originated at pre-solar epoch through physicochemical processes and then filled in the pre-solar nebula after the death of pre-solar star.

Homochirality: a prerequisite or consequence of life? [PDF]
Many of the building blocks of life such as amino acids and nucleotides are chiral, i.e., different from their mirror image. Contemporary life selects and synthesizes only one of two possible handednesses. In an abiotic environment, however, there are usually equally many left- and right-handed molecules.

Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Origin of Life Scenarios
If the origin of life is rare and sensitive to the local conditions at the site of its emergence, then, using the principle of mediocrity within a multiverse framework, we may expect to find ourselves in a universe that is better than usual at creating ...
