Abstract

Methods and apparatus to synthesize primordial life from inanimate chemicals. Apparatus to synthesize organic substances that include means of applying an electric field to gaseous mixtures containing template particulate matter and the initial chemical reactants. Methods to synthesize organic substances that include the step of applying an electric field to gaseous mixtures containing template particulate matter and the initial chemical reactants. The organic substances synthesized include DNA and DNA-like molecular structures, polymers, and proteins. Coating these synthesized reaction products with lipids and lipid-like materials is a step in the method to synthesize primordial life from inanimate materials. The above synthesis methods in a laboratory are theorized to be related to natural processes that resulted in the creation of primordial life in the early atmosphere of Earth. The theory of the origin of primordial life in the Earth'"'"'s early atmosphere is derived from an earlier U.S. Disclosure Document entitled “Method and Apparatus to Create Primordial Life from Inanimate Materials” that is substantially repeated in the application.
