chemical reactions leading to this very extraordinary improbable thing we call life will have a journey manchuria the pendulum has swung the other way and now many many scientists say. you know this is teeming with life where if you have asked like planets as you can chance life whatever other truth is we absolutely don't know because the big step is how do you go from non-life to life isn't something that is going to happen. easily in infants and me wait a few minutes how come or is it the case that it's like a freak. sequence of chemical reactions which prints again are extremely improbable a manhattanite he wants in the universe and we don't know how to answer that because nobody has made life. a long way from understanding how a chemistry tends to live how did molecules organize ourselves into something even a primitive in the gulf is huge. mishmash of chemicals and even the simplest of it being so i mean i know we don't want numbers of credit and simply don't know that number we can't estimate how many it happens of planets we know that in the milky way galaxy there are. billions probably of

in manchuria. japanese sent out their secret police and rounded up troublemakers and they would end up at unit $731.00 as human guinea pigs and they would inoculate them with diseases to see how long they would die and they would tie them to stakes and drop bombs out of airplanes to see how well the bombs spread the disease. there's always an aspect when you're dealing with biological weapons or chemical weapons some extent of extermination the way you would exterminate germany. after the end of the war japanese scientists who worked at unit 731 were granted amnesty by the united states in exchange for information on the biological weapons program the japanese who did bad science and killed thousands of people doing it got off scot free and they ended up going back to the universities and became chairman of departments and became captains of industry and and. on happy lives. successive japanese governments have been extremely reluctant to take responsibility for atrocities committed during world wa
