Google researchers simulated emergence of life
Google has created a simulation that explores the emergence of life on a hypothetical planet, aiming to understand the conditions that could lead to the origin of life forms. The simulation, developed by researchers at Google, simulates a virtual world where simple digital organisms evolve and adapt over time. By studying how these organisms interact and evolve in various environments, scientists hope to uncover fundamental principles underlying the emergence of life itself.
The simulation uses complex algorithms to simulate natural selection and environmental factors that influence the development of these digital life forms. Researchers observe how different environmental conditions, such as temperature and availability of resources, affect the evolution and diversity of these simulated organisms. Insights gained from this research could provide valuable clues into how life might originate and evolve under different planetary conditions, potentially shedding light on the search for extraterrestrial life beyond Earth.
