 Information panspermia

Information panspermia is a hypothesis that suggests that life, or at least the information necessary for life, could be distributed throughout the universe via space dust, meteoroids, asteroids, comets, and planetoids. Unlike traditional panspermia, which focuses on the transfer of living organisms or microbial life itself, information panspermia emphasizes the idea that the fundamental genetic and biochemical information needed for the development of life can be transmitted across astronomical distances.
