The hypothesis is that early RNA-Molecules are able to reproduce their selves out of existing substances.
The substances are formed out of chemical reactions. If amino acids are heat, like in black smokers, they can form a simple RNA. The simple RNA that can reproduce it self, is the most that can be found.
In combination with self organized reaction rooms, existence proven, they can form cells. The first microorganism with working metabolism.
But you are right, it has never been seen.

Where it is proven that electricity can travel faster than the speed of light? Electrons and ions have a mass, and can't travel faster then the speed of light.
Tachyon would have a mass below 0, and until now they are only a possibility in math.
Can I ask you a simple question to your story. Why didn't you go close to them, if you see them so often and they didn't seem harmful?
