From the video description:
"In this bonus interview footage from Science Uprising, synthetic organic chemist James Tour from Rice University discusses the serious challenges faced by current origin of life research."
There are some people who claim to know how life started and what kicked everything into gear. You hear it quite frequently that a "primordial soup" existed on the early Earth, and somehow a collection of random chemicals in Earth's early oceans magically created the first living cells. It would be easy to think that with our collective 21st century of biology this should be explained, right? But is there any merit to such a thought? Does anybody actually know how early life began? Let's listen to an actual expert of the topic and see what he has to say on the matter.
