Chemical processes that, according to new research, could not have given rise to life

Abstract visualization of chemical reactions and molecular structures symbolizing the refutation of the hydrothermal vent origin-of-life hypothesis

Neon blue-green bubbles and flowing lines on a dark background abstractly depict molecular interactions in an aqueous environment. The visualization illustrates the geochemical processes that, according to a Calgary-based geochemist, do not match the conditions required for life to emerge. The image underscores the gap between the long-standing hypothesis and the latest scientific findings.
