Sonochemical Synthesis: Did Life Originate Inside Collapsing Bubbles? | American Council on Science and Health

The origin of life is a profound mystery. Once life arose, natural selection and evolution took over, but the question of how a mixture of various gases created life-giving molecules that arranged into structures capable of reproducing themselves remains unanswered.
