On the probability of the emergence of life taking panspermia into account

According to the results of our calculation, the appearance probability of the simplest replicator (life) has been obtained for some finite volume of the Universe, taking into account different initial conditions and the simplest replicator of different complexity. The results exceed by almost 1000 orders of magnitude similar calculations published in the specialized literature. The main specificity of this study is the idea of the simplest replicator as a configuration of individual RNA strands (ribozymes) formed due to panspermia. A conclusion about the uneven distribution of life over the Universe is drawn.
