Scientific Hypothesis - The report discusses the probability of life originating spontaneously from amino acids on Earth-like planets, considering the conditions of a long inflation universe [1] - The calculation involves taking one-thousandth (0.1%) of the amino acids from comets in our solar system and placing them on Earth-like planets [1] - The probability of these amino acids spontaneously forming all the proteins in LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor) in one particular trial, during 10 billion years of trials, is estimated to be 10^-190,000 [1] - The probability of generating the corresponding DNA is similar to that of proteins, with regulatory DNA making it slightly worse, but still not as bad as 10^-600,000 [1] - A long inflation universe could potentially allow for 10^2,400,000 independent origins of life due to its immense size [1]
