It’s entirely possible. Extreme environments – the contrasts are possible. I’ve also heard theories regarding crystal-type formations (as crystals have SOME life-like properties) and lots and lots of time…. like muddy water stuck in a triangular translucent rock getting sun, heat+cold cycles, evaporating and recondensing over billions of years, until some self-replicating combination breaks free.
Then there’s the amino-acid comet…
All sorts of interesting ideas out there and quite interesting.
