RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)Interestingly, if we observe that an origin of life has to create an actual self-sustaining ecosystem, and assume this had to have the genetic information of 3 LUCAs (it would really be many more different kinds of LUCA sharing most of their genetic information), we get a number almost as small as 10^-600,000. ...
