Abstract
Panspermia “all” and σπέρμα (sperma) “seed”) is the hypothesis that “seeds” or “spores” of life can survive space travel and spread throughout the Universe. Consequences of this hypothesis are that life on Earth may have originated at some other place in the Universe and its evolution on Earth is due to a fertilization of the planet through such interplanetary or interstellar transfer of “seeds.” Consequently, life could be delivered to and start a new evolution on all habitable planets, moons, and satellites.
