  • First Online:
Astrobiologie - die Suche nach außerirdischem Leben

  • 1682 Accesses

Zusammenfassung

Viele Wege führen zum Leben – Reaktion für Reaktion werden die abiotischen Grundlagen der allerersten ökologischen Interaktion und ihrer evolutionären Entfaltung entschlüsselt. Doch wie sieht dieses Leben aus und ist es überhaupt möglich, Leben widerspruchsfrei zu definieren? Das kleinstmögliche Leben birgt das Potenzial, alles, was wir über unsere Erde und ferne Welten zu wissen glauben, größtmöglich zu verändern.
