Two intimate, important, and intricate topics are human longevity and the possible
afterlife. In other words, how long humans live, and their possible afterlife. Those two subjects
matter so much, they deserve their own anthology.
The more we, humans, critically rationalist quantify( non-contradictory, parsimonious,
falsifiable, and exactly) physics, the easier we can exactly quantify the possible afterlife.
God being logos, while everyone’s higher self is its own god, would explain undeserved
suffering, why moderation works(eg: assertive works best between passive and aggressive), too
much ego is suicidal but, certain ego is needed for survival, etc.
Christianity is the ANTI-racist, Hellenistic and Pan-white-privilege religion. Jesus
=Dionysus=Bacchus=Liber(the god and root word of liberalism ). Mass immigration gives more
co-ethnic selection for POGMAIP. Deserved white guilt also lowers both fetishizing and
internalized racism. God=Logos. God is logic and reason itself. The same environment, memes,
and genes selected for Christianity, also lead to ANTI-racism. While Logos is God, the
higher-self of each individual is its own god.
I don’t know if an unmoved mover exists, or ever existed, but, to discover something,
logic is necessary. Thus, logic may be the universal and eternal constant. Therefore, God appears
to be Logos. Perhaps each individual has its own higher self. And each higher self is its
individual’s own god. A higher self cannot uproot logic itself. And, upon attempting to uproot
logic, the individual loses its individuality and hurts their own self-interests. Thus, certain
humility is both necessary and selfish.

Introduction

7
Of course, one researcher can only investigate so many themes. The first topic shall be
longevity, also known as both life extension and anti-aging. Information theory of aging has been
deduced as the best explanation so far.
Following, LONGEVITY WHEN SUMMARIZED, are attempts to exactly quantify the
possible afterlife.

8
1)Life Extension

9
Information Theory of Aging is the most robust and practical out of current theories
explaining human age. Aging is a disease best explained as information loss. Damage theory
does not account for damage’s possible necessity towards human personal growth. A cellular
error is difficult to define, thus, error theory also lacks veracity. When is an error actually an
adaptive mutation? When is damage actually adaptive mutation? Plus, information theory of
aging is uniquely accessible to computer assistance.
Damage of epigenetic information both rigorously and practically explains aging. More
broadly, the information theory of aging explains the simplest, with the most evidence and least
assumptions. Damaging the information across the epigenome does not only explain aging but
also other diseases. Genetic engineering goes awry because editing the genome backfires across
the epigenome. Thus, effectively and regularly polishing epigenetic scratches could cure aging,
other diseases, and side effects of genetic engineering.
How Specifically Could an Epigenetic Information Polish Cure Aging? “epigenetic
information is stored in a digital-analog format, susceptible to alterations induced by diverse
environmental signals and cellular
damage”(https://www.researchgate.net/publication/376583494_The_Information_Theory_of_Ag
ing ). And potentially a certain polish could fix those scratches, thereby periodically prevent
aging upon regular adjustment.

10
2)Physics

11
To deductively reason, one goes from general to specific. This essay deduces theoretical
physics(a specific discipline) from metaphysics and or epistemology(two broader subject
matters).
If time travel has happened in the future, and the universe appears to grow, then those two
facts may connect. Applying the principle of parsimony(also known as Occam’s Razor),
traveling back in time, and attempting to change the past, would NOT work. The multiverse
would only expand based on that attempted and possibly well-meant intervention. That is one
reason why the multiverse probably exists.
More evidence supporting the multiverse is that the creator, probably God(perhaps reason
and logic itself named Logos), is all knowing due to seeing all possible realities in the
multiverse. While God itself resides outside the multiverse.Yet humans maintain at least,
depending on each one’s competency, the fundamental choice to focus on life. Either at least
humans have the fundamental choice to focus on life, or reason is futile. Of course, other choices
humans lack. Humans cannot choose everything. A human cannot make her/any pronouns’/or his
self, genes, environment, etc. Thus many humans lack many choices.
Perhaps the afterlife is another dimension, universe, or outside the entire multiverse. Such
studies may increase in ease as the dangerous insides of black holes may be are HOPEFULLY
safely discovered. Perhaps black holes lead to alternate dimensions/parallel universes.
Without partial free will, humans also would only be their cells. A human eventually
loses all cells yet retains her/any pronouns’/or his identity. Thus, if the law of identity was
expanded to every branch of physics, the afterlife may become exactly quantified.

3)Survival Heuristics

14
The Lindy Effect remains heuristically effective for noting robust theories, whether
literal scientific ones, or metaphors containing survival heuristics. The occasionally metaphoric
language of Hellenistic myths, with their underlying survival heuristics, both gave rise to
Christianity. Hellenism evidently derived into Christianity as the Greek god Dionysus, the two
Roman gods Bacchus and Liber, and Jesus Christ, all share many characteristics. Dionysus,
Bachus and Liber all eventually became known as the same god. Jesus, Bacchus, Liber and
Dionysus, all alternated between god and human forms, encouraging their followers to do the
same through self-transformation. Drugs are dangerous. Those deities did NOT carelessly
encourage drugs. Plus, all 4 of those gods resulted in 21st century modern liberalism.

15
4)Social Sciences

16
Some think mass immigration of people of color, to Northwestern European “NWE”
founded countries…
1)decreases inter-ethnic reproduction because of more availability of co-ethnics.
2)increases the population of well off Northwestern Europeans.
3)gives more labor union members to help the Northwestern European working class.
4)increases the mode iq of Northwestern Europeans by making NWEs generally more
liberal(higher iq, more creative, more talented, more thoughtful, etc.)
“Abstract WARNING: GENETIC ENGINEERING IS DANGEROUS. 1)This
ANTI-racist essay rejects both racialism and racial essentialism, beginning with epistemology,
physics, chemistry, biology, and then social sciences, of course with some overlap. Humans have,
AT LEAST PARTIAL, free will or they could not fundamentally choose to focus on life, thus all
reason would be futile ‘And if humans lack free will then the reasoning behind anything would
not exist’(Ohnemus 2023). Thus self-evident PARTIAL free will debunks biological
determinism. Biological determinism, at least in this essay and many other senses, also means
scientific materialism. Thus, humans probably have souls, OR AT LEAST hereditarianism is
wrong. Science only approximately derives from philosophy because direct derivation would be

17
a non-sequitur. Plus, the relationship between science and philosophy is very complicated.
Philosophy speculates more and changes upon scientific discovery. Yet science rests upon
philosophical postulates, such as the philosophy of science. 2) As a cohesive thesis elaborates,
certain deceased Northwestern Europeans, who NEVER reproduced, either owe several
reparations to the lesser privileged racialized populations OR were so enlightened, they deserve
to have their traits expanded. Exact replication(both phenotypical and genotypical) not only is
probably impossible, but also may excessively reduce diversity. Thus, 3D printing more
progressive(traits and genes) and recessive(traits and genes) INexact replicas of those certain,
and other, Northwestern Europeans is imperative for civilization and progress. Perhaps following
the mass automated reproduction, to mitigate risks, the recessive and progressive privileges may
be distributed to the consenting individuals, of racialized populations with lesser privileges. 3)
Beginning from first principles does not mean reductionism. On the contrary, boiling down to the
most fundamental truths and then reasoning up, while acknowledging and mapping nuance, may
be the surest avoidance of both reductionism AND contradictions, if one simultaneously
recognizes and charts counterintuitive reality. If diseases can reasonably correlate to genes with a
parsimonious relationship then, other traits can too. Potentially one can describe a dead person’s
traits to a machine(maybe through photos, recordings, verbally, etc.) then, the machine can at
least create one of many possibly corresponding genotypes. Humans, at least typically, only have
46 chromosomes, so certain traits parsimoniously match with certain genes. Even humans with
more, or maybe less, than 46 chromosomes probably still have a close enough number for their
traits to be parsimoniously matched with corresponding genes. Plus if previous information on
the dead subject’s genotype is available(DNA of relatives, lineage DNA, ethnic DNA,

18
populational(maybe racialized) DNA, general human genome, genealogy, etc.) data, both of the
particular deceased person, one can either clone that dead subject(having deduced the genotype)
or 3D bio-print another human with the same traits the deceased is remembered for, plus silver
lining, added genetic diversity. One could 3D bioprint an in-exact replica of the deceased
individual through the deduced genotype, out of bioink materials composing DNA, RNA, and
proteins(perhaps sugar or other elements that chemically make deoxyribonucleic acid), while a
bioreactor reinforces the design, and rheology, of the intended human. If CRISPR can both cure,
and accidentally cause, mutations, then it can potentially and intentionally distribute recessive
and progressive privileges by both somatically, and germinally, mutating people. CRISPR could
even distribute both recessive and progressive privileges, of being enlightened liberal
Northwestern Europeans, to 3D bioprinted people before they are printed. 4) Selectively 3D
bioprinting human individuals for humanitarian ANTI-racist reparations is key for preventing a
phenotypic revolution because recessive ≠ useful to machines. Plus, by 3D bioprinting, in-exact
human replicas, of deceased individuals, machines won’t be able to launch a phenotypic
revolution, because the automated reproduction will lack the linearity. And the philosophy, of
paying ANTI-racist reparations, requires a level of empathy that is uniquely human and not
automatable”(Thesis Commons 2024).
Plus, if enough humans increase their own bodily fertility with genetic engineering, the
need for automated reproduction may decrease.

19
5)Proto-Science(Psychedelic Afterlife Preview “PAP”)

20
Intelligent extraterrestrial life may exist. But not like in the movie ET, rather in the form
of proteins, or RNA, microscopic molecules. RNA molecules have been found in meteorites.
Perhaps meteorites, and meteors, are the real spaceships. Thus explaining how DNA, PERHAPS
designed and designated by RNA to MAYBE reproduce new RNA and DNA-based life forms.
Yet DNA maybe discarded RNA, then the DNA based life forms took over Earth.
Furthermore, RNA extraterrestrial presence may explain why magic mushrooms(some of
the first known life forms according to clades) might allow us to see alternate dimensions, and or
parallel universes, possibly such as the afterlife.
Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation “CMBR” is a certain radiation expected to
result from the suspected Big Bang genesis of the universe. Certain mushrooms eat radiation.
Those mushrooms may be prescribed to astronauts to keep them from getting sick from radiation
in outer space. If Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation supposedly results from the origin
of our universe, the mushrooms eating radiation(maybe they also eat the radiation known as
CMBR) may also allow us to travel across the possible multiverse, perhaps even to preview the
afterlife. Perhaps psychedelics only appear as reality distortion because our more easily
observable bodies remain in this universe, while our less observable minds may travel across the
multiverse. However, Psychedelic Afterlife Preview “PAP” is only a proto-science.

21
6)Experiment Design

22
NOTE: Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation “CMBR”, is expected to illuminate
from the suspected Big Bang genesis of the universe. CMBR thereby MAY separate our universe
from parallel universes. We should create an AI human that can eat radiotrophic fungi safely,
then stated AI human may be able to see, WITHOUT DYING, past CMBR, and into the possible
afterlife, and we could too if we attach magnetic resonance imaging “MRI” to that AI human.
The experiment MAY require 3 different AI models:
1)an AI human
2)an AI radiotrophic fungi
3)an AI CMBR.
OR
We could make the senses of the AI human strong enough to SAFELY eat REAL
radiotrophic fungi, while sensing the ending REAL CMBR, into the possible afterlife, we could
witness with MRI.
OR

23
Maybe we could 3D print a REAL AND WILLING human, immune to negative side
effects of radiotrophic fungi.
We could then attach a computer(MRI) to that WILLING human’s psyche to exactly
quantify into the possible afterlife.

24
Conclusion

25
Safety first, as proto-science does not warrant taking potentially fatal drugs.

“Of course, not all mutations are ‘bad.’ But, because so many mutations can cause
cancer, DNA repair is obviously a crucially important property of eukaryotic cells. However, too
much of a good thing can be dangerous. If DNA repair were perfect and no mutations ever
accumulated, there would be no genetic variation—and this variation serves as the raw material
for evolution. Successful organisms have thus evolved the means to repair their DNA efficiently
but not too efficiently, leaving just enough genetic variability for evolution to continue.”

philosophy equals approximately science plus engineering. Science is in both the differential
equation and the approximate derivative because after the deriving process the thinking becomes
less philosophical and more scientific due to the increased tangibility.”(Ohnemus 2023). If we
add the science of the afterlife and the philosophy of the afterlife then the approximate derivative
may be the science of the afterlife plus the engineering of the afterlife. In conclusion, probably
no machine has been created to preview the afterlife. And if one has, the probability of its

March/April 2006 Historically Speaking 15 Christianity is a Hellenistic Religion, and
Western Civilization is Christian Ricardo Duchesne The one virtue I can find in Stark's essay, as
it was adapted from his book Victory of Reason, is that it might stimulate a serious discussion
about why Christianity was the only religion to cultivate a philosophical outlook consistent with
the rational investigation of nature and the rise of a liberal democratic culture. Right from the
opening paragraph, his essay sprays out too many sweeping statements about medieval Europe's
technological superiority over the rest of the world that can only be judged as expressions of
someone not familiar with world economic history. I have defended David Landes's contention
that sometime in the medieval/early modern era Europe took a path that set it on a special
historical course, but I cannot support Stark's flat statement that medieval European technology
and science "overtook and surpassed the rest of the world." Sung China (960-1279), rather, was
the world's most advanced civilization at that time. The irrigated fields of China gave far higher
yields per seed and per unit of land than the rain-fed grains of Europe. In terms of preparation of
soil and methods ofsoil preservation , rotation of crops, selective breeding of seeds, transplanting
and winnowing, and water control techniques, Chinese—and possibly Indian—farmers were
ahead of their European counterparts well into the modern era. Stark shows no awareness

34
ofcurrent arguments made by Bin Wong, A. G. Frank, Ken Pomeranz, and others that many
"modern" economic trends attributed to Europe, such as rising total output and per capita
productivity, growing urbanization, and global trade networks , were also experienced in China,
India, and Japan throughout the modern era. I do agree, nevertheless, that by the 12th century
Europe was entering a period of cumulative progression in all spheres ofsocial life, richer in
originality and spiritedness than any other cultural efflorescence witnessed since the ancient
Greeks. While I do share Stark's belief that Christianity was a major factor in this progression, I
have deep reservations about his contention that the rise ofmodern science was rooted directly in
the religion of Christianity. He writes: "Christianity alone embraced reason and logic as the
primary guides to religious truth. Christian faith in reason was influenced by Greek philosophy.
But the more important fact is that Greek philosophy had little impact on Greek religions. Those
remained typical mystery cults .... But, from early days, the church fathers taught Stark is right
that outside narrow scholarly circles Catholicism is still derided as reactionary andsuperstitious.
of one ethnic people, and this God remained abstract and beyond reason. In the Incarnation and
the belief that Jesus has two natures— both fully God and fully human—the pure universal spirit
of the Old Testament finds concrete expression in human history. PreChristian religions only
imagined the presence of spirit in the world; Christians see and feel and hear the divinity and
love of God in their lives. What Stark ignores to the point ofharming his entire argument is that
Christianity alone developed a metaphysical framework consistent with that of modern science
and freedom due to the deep impact of Greek culture on the very formation of Christianity.
Christianity was born that reason was the supreme gift from God and the means to progressively
increase understanding of Scripture and revelation." Stark cites a few passages from St.

35
Augustine, St. Magnus, St. Aquinas, and Tertullian to support this claim but without supplying
any supplementary explanations. Stark claims in his book that Christianity is the only religion
that had faith in reason, which nourished a "science of faith"—a theology of "God's nature,
intentions, and demands." He further argues that Christianity is different from such religions as
Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism in believing in the existence of a "conscious, all powerful
God," rather than a One, a Being or principle governing the universe that is impersonal, remote,
unknowable, and separate from our world. I also believe that the God of Christianity is not
transcendental but immanent. I agree as well that Christianity displays a higher level of
self-consciousness because the Divine is not something utterly other and…”

“THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER As seen on The Joe Rogan Experience! A
groundbreaking dive into the role psychedelics have played in the origins of Western civilization,
and the real-life quest for the Holy Grail that could shake the Church to its foundations.” “The
most influential religious historian of the 20th century, Huston Smith, once referred to it as the
“best-kept secret” in history. Did the Ancient Greeks use drugs to find God? And did the earliest
Christians inherit the same, secret tradition? A profound knowledge of visionary plants, herbs
and fungi passed from one generation to the next, ever since the Stone Age?” “There is zero
archaeological evidence for the original Eucharist – the sacred wine said to guarantee life after

38
death for those who drink the blood of Jesus. The Holy Grail and its miraculous contents have
never been found. In the absence of any hard data, whatever happened at the Last Supper
remains an article of faith for today’s 2.5 billion Christians. In an unprecedented search for real
answers, The Immortality Key examines the archaic roots of the ritual that is performed every
Sunday for nearly one third of the planet. Religion and science converge to paint a radical picture
of Christianity’s founding event. And after centuries of debate, to solve history’s greatest puzzle
once and for all.” “Before the birth of Jesus, the Ancient Greeks found salvation in their own
sacraments. Sacred beverages were routinely consumed as part of the so-called Ancient
Mysteries – elaborate rites that led initiates to the brink of death. The best and brightest from
Athens and Rome flocked to the spiritual capital of Eleusis, where a holy beer unleashed
heavenly visions for two thousand years. Others drank the holy wine of Dionysus to become one
with the god. In the 1970s, renegade scholars claimed this beer and wine – the original
sacraments of Western civilization – were spiked with mind-altering drugs. In recent years,
vindication for the disgraced theory has been quietly mounting in the laboratory. The constantly
advancing fields of archaeobotany and archaeochemistry have hinted at the enduring use of
hallucinogenic drinks in antiquity. And with a single dose of psilocybin, the
psychopharmacologists at Johns Hopkins and NYU are now turning self-proclaimed atheists into
instant believers. But the smoking gun remains elusive.” “If these sacraments survived for
thousands of years in our remote prehistory, from the Stone Age to the Ancient Greeks, did they
also survive into the age of Jesus? Was the Eucharist of the earliest Christians, in fact, a
psychedelic Eucharist?” “With an unquenchable thirst for evidence, Muraresku takes the reader
on his twelve-year global hunt for proof. He tours the ruins of Greece with its government

39
archaeologists. He gains access to the hidden collections of the Louvre Museum to show the
continuity from pagan to Christian wine. He unravels the Ancient Greek of the New Testament
with the world’s most controversial priest. He spelunks into the catacombs under the streets of
Rome to decipher the lost symbols of Christianity’s oldest monuments. He breaches the secret
archives of the Vatican to unearth manuscripts never before translated into English. And with
leads from the archaeological chemists at the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, he unveils the first scientific data for the ritual use of psychedelic drugs
in classical antiquity.” “The Immortality Key reconstructs the suppressed history of women
consecrating a forbidden, drugged Eucharist that was later banned by the Church Fathers.
Women who were then targeted as witches during the Inquisition, when Europe’s sacred
pharmacology largely disappeared. If the scientists of today have resurrected this technology,
then Christianity is in crisis. Unless it returns to its roots.” “Featuring a Foreword by Graham

Abstract WARNING: GENETIC ENGINEERING IS DANGEROUS. 1)This ANTI-racist
essay rejects both racialism and racial essentialism, beginning with epistemology, physics,
chemistry, biology, and then social sciences, of course with some overlap. Humans have, AT
LEAST PARTIAL, free will or they could not fundamentally choose to focus on life, thus all
reason would be futile “And if humans lack free will then the reasoning behind anything would
not exist”(Ohnemus 2023). Thus self-evident PARTIAL free will debunks biological
determinism. Biological determinism, at least in this essay and many other senses, also means
scientific materialism. Thus, humans probably have souls, OR AT LEAST hereditarianism is
wrong. Science only approximately derives from philosophy because direct derivation would be
a non-sequitur. Plus, the relationship between science and philosophy is very complicated.
Philosophy speculates more and changes upon scientific discovery. Yet science rests upon
philosophical postulates, such as the philosophy of science. 2) As a cohesive thesis elaborates,
certain deceased Northwestern Europeans, who NEVER reproduced, either owe several

42
reparations to the lesser privileged racialized populations OR were so enlightened, they deserve
to have their traits expanded. Exact replication(both phenotypical and genotypical) not only is
probably impossible, but also may excessively reduce diversity. Thus, 3D printing more
progressive(traits and genes) and recessive(traits and genes) INexact replicas of those certain,
and other, Northwestern Europeans is imperative for civilization and progress. Perhaps following
the mass automated reproduction, to mitigate risks, the recessive and progressive privileges may
be distributed to the consenting individuals, of racialized populations with lesser privileges. 3)
Beginning from first principles does not mean reductionism. On the contrary, boiling down to the
most fundamental truths and then reasoning up, while acknowledging and mapping nuance, may
be the surest avoidance of both reductionism AND contradictions, if one simultaneously
recognizes and charts counterintuitive reality. If diseases can reasonably correlate to genes with a
parsimonious relationship then, other traits can too. Potentially one can describe a dead person’s
traits to a machine(maybe through photos, recordings, verbally, etc.) then, the machine can at
least create one of many possibly corresponding genotypes. Humans, at least typically, only have
46 chromosomes, so certain traits parsimoniously match with certain genes. Even humans with
more, or maybe less, than 46 chromosomes probably still have a close enough number for their
traits to be parsimoniously matched with corresponding genes. Plus if previous information on
the dead subject’s genotype is available(DNA of relatives, lineage DNA, ethnic DNA,
populational(maybe racialized) DNA, general human genome, genealogy, etc.) data, both of the
particular deceased person, one can either clone that dead subject(having deduced the genotype)
or 3D bio-print another human with the same traits the deceased is remembered for, plus silver
lining, added genetic diversity. One could 3D bioprint an in-exact replica of the deceased

43
individual through the deduced genotype, out of bioink materials composing DNA, RNA, and
proteins(perhaps sugar or other elements that chemically make deoxyribonucleic acid), while a
bioreactor reinforces the design, and rheology, of the intended human. If CRISPR can both cure,
and accidentally cause, mutations, then it can potentially and intentionally distribute recessive
and progressive privileges by both somatically, and germinally, mutating people. CRISPR could
even distribute both recessive and progressive privileges, of being enlightened liberal
Northwestern Europeans, to 3D bioprinted people before they are printed. 4) Selectively 3D
bioprinting human individuals for humanitarian ANTI-racist reparations is key for preventing a
phenotypic revolution because recessive ≠ useful to machines. Plus, by 3D bioprinting, in-exact
human replicas, of deceased individuals, machines won’t be able to launch a phenotypic
revolution, because the automated reproduction will lack the linearity. And the philosophy, of
paying ANTI-racist reparations, requires a level of empathy that is uniquely human and not
automatable.”

nucleobases in three carbonaceous meteorites using state-of-the-art analytical techniques
optimized for small-scale quantification of nucleobases down to the range of parts per trillion
(ppt). In addition to previously detected purine nucleobases in meteorites such as guanine and
adenine, we identify various pyrimidine nucleobases such as cytosine, uracil, and thymine, and
their structural isomers such as isocytosine, imidazole-4-carboxylic acid, and 6-methyluracil,

45
respectively. Given the similarity in the molecular distribution of pyrimidines in meteorites and
those in photon-processed interstellar ice analogues, some of these derivatives could have been
generated by photochemical reactions prevailing in the interstellar medium and later
incorporated into asteroids during solar system formation. This study demonstrates that a
diversity of meteoritic nucleobases could serve as building blocks of DNA and RNA on the early
Earth.”

information. Carbon-rich meteorites may have been important sources of organic compounds
required for the emergence of life on the early Earth; however, the origin and formation of
nucleobases in meteorites has been debated for over 50 y. So far, the few nucleobases reported in
meteorites are biologically common and lacked the structural diversity typical of other
indigenous meteoritic organics. Here, we investigated the abundance and distribution of
nucleobases and nucleobase analogs in formic acid extracts of 12 different meteorites by liquid
chromatography–mass spectrometry. The Murchison and Lonewolf Nunataks 94102 meteorites
contained a diverse suite of nucleobases, which included three unusual and terrestrially rare
nucleobase analogs: purine, 2,6-diaminopurine, and 6,8-diaminopurine. In a parallel experiment,

46
we found an identical suite of nucleobases and nucleobase analogs generated in reactions of
ammonium cyanide. Additionally, these nucleobase analogs were not detected above our
parts-per-billion detection limits in any of the procedural blanks, control samples, a terrestrial
soil sample, and an Antarctic ice sample. Our results demonstrate that the purines detected in
meteorites are consistent with products of ammonium cyanide chemistry, which provides a
plausible mechanism for their synthesis in the asteroid parent bodies, and strongly supports an
extraterrestrial origin. The discovery of new nucleobase analogs in meteorites also expands the
prebiotic molecular inventory available for constructing the first genetic molecules.”

Radiative transfer modeling suggests that most of the C2H3CN emission originates at altitudes
of ≳200 km, in agreement with recent photochemical models. The vertical column densities
implied by our best-fitting models lie in the range of 3.7 × 1013 to 1.4 × 1014 cm−2. The
