This view is reflected in the<br>hypothesis of the so-called panspermia (Greek: pan \u2014 all and spermia \u2014<br>seed). Its historical development can be divided into two stages.  <br>In 1865 the German physicist H. Richter (1865, 1870) has created<br>the hypothesis of the existence of \u201cliving germs\u201d in space that could be<br>carried via meteorites thus reaching other celestial bodies finally finding<br>favourable conditions for their development. This idea was supported and<br>elaborated further on by a number of noted scientists such as J. von<br>Liebig, H. Helmholtz, W. Thomson, Ph. van Tieghem, etc. Their<br>presumption is that the meteorites passing through the earth atmosphere<br>are only heated on their surface and remain cool inside where germs of<br>organisms originating from other planets can be preserved and<br>transported to the Earth. Since the efforts to detect such viable germs (or<br>even their dead remains) proved to be unsuccessful this hypothesis has<br>gradually been ignored.<br>Its revival is associated with the Swedish physicochemist S. Arrhenius<br>(1908) who has launched the idea that spores from other planets can be<br>spread with space dust particles under the pressure of light rays and finding<br>themselves in favourable conditions on other planets they could give rise to<br>further development.<br>In his book \u201cSvante Arrhenius\u201d Solovyov (1990) has made an attempt<br>to present the thoughts and speculations of Arrhenius that have inspired<br>the \u201crevival\u201d of the panspermia hypothesis. \u201cAt first \u2014 says the author \u2014<br>when based on data from chemical analysis of meteorites and after that by<br>spectral analyses it was proven that only on the Earth a planet of the Solar<br>system which is analogous to the others in its chemical and physical<br>composition there is life, the question of ubiquity of the organic world has<br>inevitably arisen in his mind. So it is not possible for only one planet alone<br>to have engendered organic and after that self-conscious life, and all the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let us resort to a simple example.
