So, I watch a lot of Youtube channels that fall under the PBS Digital Studios blanket. This is a division of PBS that provides support to educationally-focussed online media. Recently, three of their channels teamed up to provide an overview of current scientific thought on the origins of life. I've put them in the order that makes sense to me but they interact and crossover quite a bit so the order may not matter much. It's also a good way to introduce these channels.

First up, PBS Space Time. This channel covers astronomy, astrophysics, and theoretical physics with astronomy prof Matt O'Dowd as the host. Here, he kicks things off looking at the place of life in the big picture, with a particular focus on how life helps in the distribution of energy required by the 2nd law of thermodynamics:


One warning: Unlike some hosts of popular science programming, Matt doesn't shy away from getting into the nitty-gritty of the universe. This episode is one of the easiest ones to follow. He often does series on things like quantum field theory and for those you need to watch them all in order to have any hope of "getting it" unless you already have some background on the subject.

Then we have It's Okay to Be Smart. This is not one of my regulars, but it's a general focus science channel hosted by biologist Joe Hanson. He covers the chemistry of the precursors of life like amino acids and, of course, RNA and DNA:


And, finally, Eons which deals with the evolution of life in all its weirdness and splendor. It's produced by video producer, writer, and host extraordinaire Hank Green (his brother John is actually the famous one as the author of Fault in Our Stars and other popular YA novels) who hosts this particular episode himself, though the channel actually rotates several hosts/narrators. Eons tackles the problem of the LUCA, Last Universal Common Ancestor. IOW, the living thing from which all living things on Earth today are descended (and, yes, genetics shows there was such a thing).

 
FYI, Hank is also the brains between the SciShow family of science channels. SciShow (general science news), SciShow Space (astronomy and space exploration), and SciShow Psych (psychology, neurology). And he produces and hosts some of Crash Course online courses. And his own first novel is due out soon (sibling rivalry rearing its head?). And he co-hosts a vlog with John. And used to co-host a podcast with his wife (he's married with one kid) but I think they wound it down last week. He's got to be the busiest self-employed freelancer (at least that's how he seems to operate) that I've ever seen.

Thus ante space ... from which the primal explosion occurred to allow generation of the BC Toonies ... and the ants get last laugh as bridging the whole span of time ... Bridget? Upstanding with subtle parts for support ...
 
And we have another candidate for life elsewhere in our solar system. While evidence for a sub surface ocean of liquid water on Saturn's moon Enceladus is now irrefutable thanks to data collected on its water jets by the Cassini space probe, we haven't had similar confirmation for a suspected similar body of water on Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. Or did we? Turns out that the Galileo probe actually did get sprayed by a jet of water from Europa, and we just didn't pick up on it until a recent re-analysis of data from that mission. And NASA has a probe to Europa planned for 2022.

NASA spacecraft was sprayed by a geyser on Europa, scientists learn

Caused a fog on earlier electron magnetic senses ... intangible to the human senses? Perhaps some internal sensor took it up ... unconsciously to the superficial senses?

The brae 'n is like that ... aroused by alien incidents ...
 
Can science, uncertainty, Gnostic Behaviour and Heresy be corrupted?

Never fail to see the power of corruption and tyranny when it comes to physical wealth ... the alternate is imaginary ... abstract ...

Everything can be broken down ... thus the lo' state of informational virtue ...

In the process one has to read through a lot of crappy passions ... pulp romances ... dispassionate memes?

Such is the heart stab of cupid sometimes known as Eros ... Eli Sah Doolittle? Got ta be a story in there ... you can feel the buzz !

Grace to the scientific arts ... gift O'W IT and keep up a perspective that's Charon ... Satan to the oligarchs of establishment!

It appears we can't go on the way we have been ... corporeally uncultured about folks in near domains? We don't know them ... and yet is this reciprocal considering the ban on knowledge and Nous of virtue? Then the processing orc is said to be similar to tsaddik ... a word used else where for something else again ... thorn of conscience? That's the sting Eire ...

All there is to recall later is just word ... "en" Maas ...

Then there's Masada ... worming a way through heaven ...

Depends.

Does science become more or less science after we add more science to it? Does science become more or less science it we subtract science from it?

Does uncertainty change if we add more certainty or uncertainty to that?

Do Gnostic Behaviours change if we add or subtract Gnostic Behaviour?

Does Heresy change if we add or subtract heresy from it?

What does a corrupted heresy look like? Is it the truth or more heretical?

Are you certain of that as Calvinist? Could something be indefinite here ... appears chaos is indeterminate ... it goes on and on ...

Are emotional blasts pure chaos ... or is that just observation (science)?

What would we be without observation of strange things ... some define magic as the unravelling ... that goes on and on ... considering the depth of heaven ...
 
Plural of MU is Mus ique ... in NFLD Moose ... Ant Martha's chaos over the sheep incident!

In English the Greek UV is MU ... still the dark side of the olive branch ... Roots ... right out of a' freek 'n spot ... the mysterious continent! Investigation of all ancient literature can bring enlightenment about what is mostly dark ... like encountering a Muse on the path by night ... accidental ... or occidental loss of philosophical side?

How else to express things of myth ... mystically ... a dark insubstantial illustration...
