How Old is Life in the Universe?

With hydrocarbons detected in deep space over 10 billion years ago there
is no question life appeared after the first medium star was born. I
estimate that event took place 9 billion years ago. It fits well with a
universe that is 22 billion years old or older bert

What did the life form live on?

DP To answer your question find out what a virus uses for nourishment.
Early life forms came out of the evolution of chemicals. Comets with
amino acids they deposited into the Earth's atmosphere. Darwin told us
life was created in small warm water ponds. Very possibly dp that the
first visible life was a green blue algae. Traces of this algae have
been found in rocks in Greenland. They are 3.85 billion years old. Lots
of warm water at that spacetime. bert

AFAIK,


There were no chemicals around but the elements hydrogen and heilium when
the *first* stars were born.

dp There was space dust from supernovas to help gravity compress the
hydrogen. We in reality came from this elemental particles of this dust.
Think carbon 12 bert

Wouldn't supernova come about some length of time AFTER the first
stars were born?

What difference does it make unless you believe in eternal things?
Only if we wish to meet the inhabitant of such a world that is 10 billion
years
old does this question even matter.

Our Darla is in the running, it matters to those scientifically
reaching into the unknown.

But why ponder of such things, as of things happening 9 billion years ago,
unless we wish to meet the 9 billion year old beings?

That is all I am doing here.
