Cosmology, astrobiology, and the RNA world. Just add quintessential water

Abstract

Water nanoclusters ejected into interstellar space from abundant amorphous ice-coated cosmic dust offer a hypothetical scenario connecting major mysteries of our universe: dark matter, dark energy, cosmology, astrobiology, and the RNA world. Cosmic water nanoclusters also exhibit the dipole-moment anisotropy prerequisite to their birefringence property, which may explain recent CMB birefringence data possibly supporting quintessence.
