Step One: Temperature Range

The first step IMO for learning how life began or -
how chemical responses to energy led to stability we call life -
is to find the temperature range that started it.
Only then do we know the energy source that forced chemicals
into these new processes.
Start with liquid water. We know we have to have that
(though it could include steam at the high temp end)
That temp range changes depending on pressure - but
because I require the sun /uv cycle for this - let's start with
0-100C. We can change those boundaries as experiments progress.
Now where in that range?
I suggest the hotter the better because
a. life most likely began on a warmer Earth
b. chemical reactions would be quicker the hotter it is.
Knowing we have a closer moon , and days are even as short
as 5 hours day, 5 hours night - we begin to close in on the
temperature cycle needed = 5 hours getting hotter with UV, followed
by 5 hours getting cooler without UV.
And the temp at the hottest point of the 'day' = 100C or less.
I have never seen an experiment that takes this approach. Has anyone?
yet how can you experiment with chemicals when you don't know how
hot they get. Step one is to find the sun temperature cycle.
Comments?
