I am a Radiation Physicist/Nuclear Engineer/NASA sub-contractor (retired).
Earth is a naturally radioactive planet due to the presence of Heavy Metals, Uranium and associated decay products. The lower level Naturally Occurring Gamma, Alpha, and Betta ionizing particles could be used to allow fusion of these panspermia fragments into viable one cell lifeforms. Could this be why lifeforms could be so rare on what we have studied and yet so plentiful in our Naturally Occurring Radiation field on and below the planet's surface? Coukd this form of radiation be the 'Spark of Life'?
Cosmic radiation is extremely energetic and highly ionizing 'Chunks' of material and cores of atoms ejected by the Sun. They are far too massive, and harsh to allow these fragments of amino acids and proto-DNA to fuse. They appear only to be able to destroy. Like doing brain surgery with a sledgehammer and a stick of dynamite. Many of the asteroids and fragments are composed of Rock and Metals. These rocks are very similar to those found on Earth. How did these rocks form if not on or in an early planet that had been destroyed by collisions. Could there have been early life on those ex-planets and we are seeing the results as fragments?
Inside a Nuclear Reactor, the Gamma radiation actually splits water molecules apart into Hydrogen and Oxygen. And it also reunites these elements back together to form water again. (breaks and recreates ionic bonds). This creation of ionic bonds should be possible in randomly creating new molecules and new bonds as it does when it penetrates and scrambles our DNA, sometimes leading to cancer and other times, simply killing the cell.
