The all-important "ZOI principle" introduced in the book - Zero-One-Infinity - explores the probabilities surrounding the origin of life and its emergence on other planets.
Livio and Szostak argue that understanding the origin of life on Earth may offer insights into whether similar processes can occur on other planets, linking the two essential questions.
The authors propose a thought-provoking idea: if the conditions for life are met on a random planet, what are the chances that life will arise like it did on Earth?
The notion that Earth’s life emerged from a cosmic accident — a scenario with a probability of near-zero — challenges our understanding of life's prevalence across the Universe.
