The author then rigorously calculates the Universal Plausibility Metric (UPM), incorporating the maximum probabilistic resources available for the universe, galaxy, solar system, and the earth: cΩu = Universe = 10^13 reactions/sec X 10^17 secs X 10^78 atoms = 10^108 cΩg = Galaxy = 10^13 X 10^17 X 10^66 = 10^96 cΩs = Solar System = 10^13 X 10^17 X 10^55 = 10^85 cΩe = Earth = 10^13 X 10^17 X 10^40 = 10^70 The author concludes that consideration of Universal Plausibility Metrics allow for falsification of speculative origin of life scenarios: “The application of The Universal Plausibility Principle (UPP) precludes the inclusion in scientific literature of wild metaphysical conjectures that conveniently ignore or illegitimately inflate probabilistic resources to beyond the limits of observational science.
