Intriguing - some scientists postulate that life doubles in complexity every 375 million years. Which is to say, there is twice as much unique information encoded in DNA now than 375 million years ago, and four times as much as 750 million years ago. The problem they found, is that by extrapolating backwards you would figure Life to be billions of years older than the Earth is. ;) Of course, this does not mean that life is actually older than the Earth is, there may be some unfactored change in the rate of complexity early on, but it is intriguing. Especially interesting is the statement that in the early few billion years after the Big Bang, there was a period of time when the universe itself was so warm that planets could have liquid water on them even without suns being nearby, potentially massively multiplying the numbers of harbors for life to develop. youtu.be/SemEzeYLdmQ
