Humanity had been exploring life for many years. Ever since humans began contemplating the very concept of "humanity," they had been investigating the origins of life.
There were many theories about how life had come into existence. At present, the most intuitive one was the extraterrestrial theory.
In other words, life had spread to Earth from somewhere else by means unknown to humanity. After undergoing evolution over an endless stretch of time, it had eventually given rise to the magnificent natural world and all living things on Earth.
But the true origin of life still remained unexplained.
Everyone knew that this was a material world. Before gods truly existed, people still viewed this world through a relatively scientific lens.
Life could not be created out of thin air.
Several renowned universities in the Federation had once joined forces to conduct an experiment. By simulating the environment of a planet immediately after its birth, they sought to observe whether life would emerge.
But there was no doubt that life would not appear there. No matter how many times they repeated the experiment, the simulated environment remained barren, devoid of any trace of life.
Then, if they pushed the question further back, how had life come into existence during the Big Bang?
When the universe had expanded from a single point into its present state, spanning countless light-years, how had life emerged? Even now, no scientist could use their knowledge to explain these questions. They could not even make a guess, because no matter what they hypothesized, they would ultimately prove to themselves that it was impossible.
That single question alone was enough to make the most brilliant scientists begin doubting every theory they had ever learned. This was also why most great scientists, during the final journey of their lives, would
