so.. you're not enrolled in any kind of degree program?
why not enroll in 3 or 4 simultaneously? i did
the average observed gamma ray burst duration from a nova is ~ 30 seconds.
under carefully staged experiments in the 60's-70's 'rigged to work' amine solutions were briefly irradiated with about 5 Mev.
they got amino acids, but they were not in proportions found in organic life and interestingly they were all right-helix, not left-helix, tho all organic life consists of only left-helix amino acids.
5 Mev. for comparison, gamma ray bursts generate on the order of 1,000,000 Mev. this kind of stuff disintegrates molecules; it doesn't produce more complex molecules -- see "entropy" -- not even the rigged experiments produce anything complex like proteins from amine soup. under the most favorable conditions, they produce the wrong concentrations of condensate acids with the wrong geometries. these 'most favorable conditions' are definitively not at all like any known conditions on the early earth; this is why panspermia became the prevailing life-origin theory among people who muse about such things. because experiment after experiment showed it couldn't possibly happen on earth, the thinkers decided in such a huge universe there must be a place somewhere where those conditions exist - and even more speculatively, ideal conditions such as no lab has ever been able to replicate, that no one has ever been able to describe, wherein the right proportions of L-amino acids, not R-amino acids, might have formed, and formed in an environment shielded from such things as gamma radiation, which is very well known to destroy complex organics. it is speculated that unimaginable conditions must have existed elsewhere because they are completely unimaginable here: hence, panspermia, turtles all the way down. problem is unsolvable in any known space: assume a space exists where it is solvable.
i still would like to know what advantage you consider there to be when you hypothesize a proto-planet in this solar system rather than some exotic & unknown set of conditions in some undiscovered part of the universe..? and how you get around the known effects of millions of MeV on chemicals of any degree of structure..? as far as i know GRB's may trigger star formation, but that's by compressing hydrogen clouds - the more complex an atom or molecule, the more GRB's stand to decimate them. my first impression of the idea is that it's akin to burning a yule log and by virtue of the energy of the applied flame, expecting the ashes, after rising with the heat, to fall again neatly to the ground in the form of a living tree planted in the ground. i see a great potential for fundamental thermodynamic problems with what i've read you describe so far
