Reported by Avi Loeb
Aria: Our next story: A new study suggests that comets may not have delivered the building blocks of life to Earth due to the rapid decline in cometary impacts and the destruction of organic molecules during high-speed collisions.
Aria: This challenges the long-standing hypothesis that comets provided the necessary prebiotic molecules, such as hydrogen cyanide, for life's origin on Earth, Avi Loeb writes.
Zyx: That is quite a cosmic plot twist.
