This paper proposes that life did not originate on Earth but arrived via panspermia, carried inside rocks ejected from another world during a planetary impact event. Specifically, it argues that the tardigrade — a microscopic multicellular animal capable of surviving vacuum, radiation, and extreme temperature through a suspended-animation process ...
