  • 00:00:00 Dr. Tour discusses the false science behind origin of life research, revealing that the current research is based on outdated and faulty theories. He also introduces guests who will talk about different aspects of the topic.
  • 00:05:00 The video discusses the false science behind origin of life research, highlighting how molecules don't know how to move toward life and that prebiotic systems don't have the ability to purify things. The video then goes on to discuss how reagent addition order is essential for constructing molecular systems, and how mass transfer is the killer of everything. Finally, the video offers a critique of the primordial suit model, which relies on unsubstantiated assumptions about molecules and the earth's early state.
  • 00:10:00 The speaker points out that synthesis of complex molecules is extremely hard and that, in the case of origin of life research, scientists often cheat by using natural sources that have already been prepared in a stereogenic form. He says that, even if the molecules are produced in this way, they would never be able to assemble into life forms due to the lack of control over relative stereochemistry and other factors.
  • 00:15:00 The video discusses the challenges of creating glucose from other simple molecules, and how these challenges may not have been present on early Earth. Dr. Tour argues that prebiotically relevant chemistry is easy and that we are far away from being able to achieve this in a meaningful way.
  • 00:20:00 The video discusses Dr. Tour's research into the false science behind Origin of Life research, which suggests that prebiotic substances such as d-ribose can only form under specific, rare conditions and that they would quickly deplete. Dr. Tour demonstrates that d-ribose can be stabilized for 45 hours, which is significantly less than the 2 days it would take to deplete under these conditions. Furthermore, ribose is present in a racemic mixture, which means it has both the "left-handed" and "right-handed" forms. Dr. Tour then goes on to show that Krista Murthy, a scientist who contributed to Origin of Life research, has reported that he bought d-ribose from Sigma Aldrich, which he then reacted with a compound that all Origin of Life researchers agree is prebiotically relevant. Finally, Dr. Tour references a paper by Christian Mercy which reports that Krishna Murthy, another scientist who contributed to Origin of Life research, referred him to references that discuss the need for compounds such as d-ribose and magnesium chloride, which are both manufactured using human technology.
  • 00:25:00 In this video, Dr. Tour exposes the false science behind origin of life research, specifically pointing out that all of the chemistry involved is nonsense. He references a paper that he had talked about on the previous video, which was published 13 months after the video. Dr. Tour says that you cannot do step growth polymerization with impure materials, and that RNA can couple through either the two prime hydroxyl or the three prime hydroxyl. He then shows a video of an experiment in which he attempted to make an enzyme using RNA that was not properly purified, and failed due to the lack of rRNA.
  • 00:30:00 This YouTube video critiques a recent study claiming to have found evidence that life originated on Earth and possibly Mars. The video points out that the study's complex chemistry cannot possibly account for how life originated, and that the study's Simplicity can be tested by high schoolers and chemistry class. John's Spock Spock spot check finds that the study was not involved in the study, but who developed instruments to detect alien genetic polymers on Mars.
  • 00:35:00 According to the Nobel Prize-winning Harvard scientist, Jack Stek, Benner's work is "very frustrating" because the authors have made an interesting initial finding but then decided to go with the hype rather than the science. This "hype" has resulted in a lot of incorrect information being spread about origins of life research. Chiral induction, which is the process by which cells use non-covalent interactions to transfer information, is a key mechanism by which biological systems achieve high yields.
  • 00:40:00 In this YouTube video, Dr. James Tour discusses false science behind the research on the origin of life. He notes that while there may be some components of the origin of life that are still unknown, the most fundamental aspect - DNA replication - is well understood. He goes on to say that even the simplest living cell must have all of the components needed for life, including replication, restriction and modification, translation, and protein synthesis and function. Tour also points out that to create a cell, you must polymerize the various components.
  • 00:45:00 Dr. Tour discusses the false science behind origin of life research, pointing out that even if you had all the necessary components, you would still not be able to create life. He goes on to say that the majority of scientists in the field believe that life cannot be created in the laboratory, and that RNA must be generated prebiotically in order to create life.
  • 00:50:00 In this YouTube video, Dr. Tour discusses some of the problems with the "primordial soup model" of the origin of life. He argues that, while some of these problems have been solved, others remain unsolved. He also notes that, despite this lack of progress, the majority of textbooks still teach the primordial soup model.
  • 00:55:00 Dr. Tour provides evidence that the current state of origin of life research is nonsensical, and that the divide between the public and scientists is due to confusion over the difference between origin of life and evolution. He argues that the lack of progress in origin of life research is due to the focus on prebiotic chemistry, which is irrelevant to the question of how life began.

01:00:00 - 01:10:00

In the video, Dr. Tour discusses the false science behind the origin of life research and how we need to change the way we approach the question in order to get closer to solving it. He suggests that we need to do something different than what we're currently doing and that we need to engage young, fresh minds in the project.

  • 01:05:00 The video presenter, Dr. Tour, introduces the false science behind the origin of life research, which relies on a simple model of the primordial soup. He explains that this model is inaccurate and that there is no known way to explain how life could have formed. He argues that the better explanation is that we don't know how life formed, and that further research is warranted. He speaks about this issue in a passionate way, motivated by the fact that someone pushed him to do so.
  • 01:10:00 The video "Dr. Tour EXPOSES the False Science Behind Origin of Life Research" will be exposed because they went on a social medium to to talk about this stuff. I will go right after them on the same medium, and people say why don't you just write papers about this I have written five papers about this people ignore them. People ignore the papers I am trying to reach the masses, I'm not trying to reach my peers anymore. I'm trying to reach the masses and that's why I'm doing this, so you need to subscribe to Dr. James 2. Yes, I think what you're talking about brings up a deeper concern about Science Education and how people are taught that science is done as opposed to being this methodology where you ask questions and do experiments. It's oh you accept this sort of Canon literature, instead of yeah how do you how do you think we can convince maybe the public that you know like science works as this iterative process where somebody has offices, somebody points out a problem with this, it becomes further refined as opposed to just these people are writing these people are wrong because they're in the majority. You know this is an area that touches to life itself, and so I don't like to psychoanaly
