I cant remember the tik toker who does it, but theres this girl on tik tok whose a scientist that is actually studying exactly how organic life formed from basically just a bunch of hodge podge of chemicals.

They basically took the same basic chemicals that make up basic biological living things like some forms of bacteria and put it in a sealed environment in a lab to basically see if bacteria or any sort of life will form.
