Lameteorien

Lameteorien, also known as Lameteorite theory, is a hypothetical concept that proposes the existence of an astronomical object or phenomenon responsible for the origin and widespread dissemination of life throughout the universe. This theory suggests that life did not originate on Earth alone, but rather was seeded from an external source, likely via celestial bodies like comets or asteroids.

The core idea behind Lameteorien is that the building blocks of life, such as amino acids and organic molecules, could have formed in extraterrestrial environments and then been transported to Earth through meteorite impacts. This panspermia hypothesis, of which Lameteorien is a variant, posits that if life can arise and survive in space, it could be a relatively common occurrence. The theory further speculates that these life-carrying objects could have visited or even "seeded" numerous planets, leading to a universe teeming with biological diversity.

While Lameteorien remains a speculative concept, it is supported by observations of organic molecules in meteorites and interstellar clouds, as well as the resilience of some microorganisms to extreme conditions found in space. Scientists continue to investigate the possibility of extraterrestrial life and the mechanisms by which it might spread, making Lameteorien a topic of ongoing scientific interest and debate. It challenges our understanding of life's origins and the potential for life beyond Earth.
