The Ribosome and Selection in the Universe
29:27 - 40:31 (11:03)
The ribosome is the fundamental machine responsible for every cell on earth, but it didn't evolve in a vacuum, and selection can occur without it. The quest to find the origin of life is crucial, and we should consider making origin of life bombs to identify dead planets and make them alive.

The fundamental machine responsible for every cell on earth is the ribosome, which was evolved over time as a phase transition in replication.

Summary
The fundamental machine responsible for every cell on earth is the ribosome, which was evolved over time as a phase transition in replication. While it's difficult to develop the idea of making copies of oneself, it's possible that these are just echoes of the selecting mechanism at different scales.
