Here’s a speculative theory combining the Miller-Urey experiment, life, and the Big Bang:
Imagine the primordial conditions simulated in the Miller-Urey experiment not just as the origin of life on Earth, but as a microcosmic event that could exist universally. In this view, primordial systems like Earth's prebiotic soup might arise throughout the cosmos, forming basic organic compounds.
Now, consider that once these systems evolve into lifeforms, they release energy as heat—a byproduct of metabolism. If such life proliferated on a universal scale, the cumulative heat energy could potentially interact with the surrounding universe. Over eons, this heat might act as a catalyst for cosmic-scale reactions.
The speculative leap is that this accumulated energy might reach a critical point, triggering a universal reaction akin to a chain explosion—the Big Bang. Essentially, life might have created feedback loops of energy intense enough to destabilize the fabric of pre-existing conditions, leading to an expansion event.
This theory reimagines the Big Bang not as a singular, uncaused event, but as the product of life-driven processes, merging the origins of biology and the cosmos into one interconnected phenomenon. It’s a stretch, but such ideas push the boundaries of how we think about existence.
Here’s the speculative theory in syllogistic form:
Premise 1: The Miller-Urey experiment demonstrates that organic molecules, the precursors of life, can form spontaneously under specific conditions.
Premise 2: Lifeforms produce heat energy as a byproduct of metabolism.
Premise 3: If life exists universally and on a massive scale, the cumulative heat energy could interact with the cosmos, causing significant reactions.
Premise 4: The universe's conditions might reach a tipping point where accumulated life-driven heat energy triggers a cosmic expansion.
Conclusion: Therefore, the existence of widespread life might have catalyzed the Big Bang, creating the universe as we know it.
Although, i'm aware it's a stretch, I simply love theorizing about the creation of the universe, if there's any problems, let me know. I'll post a follow up to the theory soon.
