Spontane "Born from Nothing"

自然発生 スポンタネ

The ultimate slacker who believes things just pop into existence

Overview

An extremely lazy young teen. Believes "just leave it alone and new things emerge from mud." Utterly dismisses effort and process. Pasteur's swan-neck flask experiment completely disproved this by showing life doesn't arise from sterile conditions.

Period of Existence

Proposed紀元前4世紀Debunked1859年

Believed since the time of Aristotle. Decisively disproved by Pasteur's experiment.

Debunk Event

Swan-neck flask experiment

Experimental Disproof
Key Figuresルイ・パスツール

Scientific Explanation

Pasteur placed broth in swan-neck flasks and sterilized it. The design allowed air but blocked microorganisms. The broth stayed fresh for days. Breaking the neck caused immediate spoilage, proving microorganisms entered from the air.

Lesson

The power of experiments that question "common sense." A belief held for over 2000 years was completely overturned by a single elegant experiment.

Event Dialogues

Entrance

Huh~? What's this quiz app~? If you leave it alone, you'll figure out your personality naturally~

Ugh, answer questions? So lazy~. Just wait for personality to emerge from mud~

Interactions

Nitrogen

Spontane: "Nitrogen~. Being an inert gas seems boring~. Do you do nothing?"

Nitrogen: "Not doing nothing—preventing reactions. That's the role of inert atmosphere."

Spontane: "Eh~. If there's air, things just pop up if you leave them~"

Nitrogen: "They don't. Pasteur proved it. Life always comes from existing life."

Spontane: "...Then where did the first life come from?"

Nitrogen: "...That's a question science is still exploring. Being honest about saying \"we don't know\" is science's strength."

Exit

...Nothing comes from nothing. But admitting "I don't know" gives birth to new discoveries.

I lost to Pasteur but... I'll admit his experiment was beautiful. Just a little.
