The theory of Panspermia implies that an impact powerful enough to send debris back into space with bacteria attached until it crashes into another planet. The idea that the magnitude of this impact as well as the environmental conditions can be accurately recreated in a laboratory experiment seems highly unlikely. Though this does not disprove Panspermia, an attempt at recreating such an immense event in a laboratory is not sufficient evidence to support the theory.Jstal531 (talk) 02:06, 29 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

If the experiments that you examined aren't sufficient evidence to support the theory then you were not looking at all of the experiments. One of the experiments that I looked at examined the spores that bacteria produced. The spores have been proven to be able to withstand high pressure and high temperatures. This evidence is sufficient to support the theory therefore Panspermia is more likely then you make it out to be. Asmit (talk) 02:57, 21 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
