50 分钟Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast this week coming to you live from Manchester!
My name is Dan Schreiber, I am sitting here with Anna Tyshensky, Andrew Hunter Murray, and James Harkin,
and once again we have gathered round the microphones with our four favourite facts from the last seven days,
and in no particular order, here we go!
Starting with fact number one, and that is James.
Okay, my fact this week is that theories for the origin of life on earth include primordial soup,
primordial sandwich, primordial soup and sandwich, primordial pizza, and primordial mayonnaise.
Is there a primordial salad option, please?
For a primordial vegan.
So this is, I was reading about the origin of life, and I think a few people might know about primordial soup,
that is the idea where you might get a puddle or something and there is loads of molecules in there,
and somehow they self-arrange, and then those self-arranged molecules manage to replicate and they make life.
Now, there is a lot of problems with primordial soup,
so people have come up with other theories, so how do these molecules get in the right place?
Primordial sandwich is you have got two rocks and they kind of squish the molecules together.
Primordial soup and sandwich, you have got the soup and you have got the rocks and that is all kind of all together.
Primordial pizza, you just have a rock and the molecules are on top.
Primordial mayonnaise is like a load of fat bubbles and the kind of the molecules grow in the fat bubbles,
and for all I know none of them is true.
