Took everyone a while to come to terms with the idea that if (1) space is infinite, (2) local conditions are random, and (3) randomness is described by a fixed bounded distribution, then there will be copies of us very far away! Infinitely many of them.

Nice advance in origin-of-life research: scientists get RNA and amino acids to spontaneously attach to each other (RNA aminoacylation).

Also, @404media.co is doing good work!

Scientists Make Breakthrough in Solving the Mystery of Life’s Origin

For years, researchers have puzzled over how two ingredients for life first linked up on early Earth. Now, they’ve found the “missing link,” and demonstrated this reaction in the lab.
