Grand Theory of Abiogenesis in the Milky Way

Tyy'sun Eson works tirelessly overnight in the cartographics lab of the Quantum Harmonic marrying astrogeology and astrobiology into his grand theory of abiogenesis in the Milky Way.  An ashtray full of toxic carcinogenic ash and several empty coffee cups attest to his diligence.

Noting the area is dotted with supernova remnants, and vast globular formations of young stars amidst turbulent nebula Eson began charting what appeared to be a huge area of radioplankton thriving on many watery and gaseous worlds over many light years and systems being tossed about and irradiated by the birth of fresh young stars at the center of the nebula.   Eson has been predicting a region like this in his research for years.



Observing that some of these systems contain every available material component, including the basic elements required for life building amino acids, simple proteins and lipids, it is hypothesized that the turbulence of the cyclical nature of the supernovae provides an environment suitable for the spontaneous construction of radioplankton within properly protected pockets of gas giants.

Further turbulence then propels these radioplankton to nearby water and ammonia based environments which propagate further advancement and natural development of the chemical processes at work over millions of years.  Eventually culminating, once again, into the turbulent shift to land based life forms such as  bark mounds.

These theories may yet make Eson's career in the scientific community back at the bubble or Colonia, but he is not thinking about that.. for now he is fixated on his findings, and the beauty of  The Arcadian Stream.  The Search for Gwydion Expedition has been a treasure trove of research and discovery.
