Welcome back to AstroBiological! It's so good to be up and running again. 
This video introduces us to new research giving credence to the idea that Urey-Miller type experiments and recreations of early Earth may not take into account certain confounding factors. The famous Urey-Miller experiment (or Miller-Urey!) demonstrated a strong case for abiogenesis. This is the process by which life emerged from some inanimate medium or substrate. Now, many origin of life researchers lean toward this school of thought, 
However, the Urey-Miller experiment was only a model, and so couldn't take all factors into account. One such factor was the presence of lightning, which is believed to have basically kickstarted life into existence (putting it very simply). 
But, what if conditions back then made this impossible? Could other situations have given rise to life instead, and how?

A recent honorary mention goes to Anton Petrov's great astrobiology and space science  channel  @whatdamath  I've begun getting back into my channel and the fantastic subject of astrobiology!
