Barriers to an Unguided Origin of Life: Biophysicist Helen Hansma Enters the Debate
Professor Hansma maintains that sets of integrated reactions could have been directed by natural selection to gradually evolve into an autonomous cell.
Physicist Sabine Hossenfelder Challenges the Evidence for Cosmological Fine-Tuning
Hossenfelder’s strongest argument is that many fine-tuning parameters cannot in fact be quantified.
Helen Hansma: Round Two on the Origin of Life
My interlocutor was Helen Hansma who pioneered the mica-sheet origin-of-life model.
Paul Ashby on Thermodynamics, Information, and Life’s Molecular Machines
I particularly appreciate how his arguments complement my own analyses addressing the origin of life.
