Panspermia

According to a recent scientific paper (read it here, or an article about it here), the earliest and simplest life might have formed about 10 billion years ago. Since the Earth is only about 4.6 billion years old, that means we all might be descended from aliens! To celebrate this finding, here's a poem in civilization's most perfect poetical form, the limerick!


Two guys were discussing the worth
Of the concept that life predates Earth
And if Moore’s Law applied
To our nucleotides
It’s been 10 billion years since first birth
