Found planet in "habitable zone" where the elements for life as we know it could live, albeit on a diet?
Earth-like planet found that may support life quote:Search for life is next, researcher says quote: That's one short 'year' ... I wonder how that affects things. And the probability that the planet has one face towards it's sun (like our moon). Enjoyps origins forum? Edited by RAZD, : pyto compare Fiocruz Genome and fight Muscular Dystrophy with Team EvC!

I'd want to send a very sterile probe first to send back images and other data -- see if life is already there without need of seed from here.
If there is then I'd want to know how that planet differed and how it was the same as ours, what the life was like, and if there was any way to see how IT originated. That could take a lifetime ... compare Fiocruz Genome and fight Muscular Dystrophy with Team EvC!

What about another pioneer probe to go by some planets not yet visited and then with an ultimate destination?
I'd expect to have some information before such was ready from analysis of atmosphere etc. We'd also be able to run a check on that acceleration anomaly issue with a properly designed and calibrated satellite. Lots of good information. compare Fiocruz Genome and fight Muscular Dystrophy with Team EvC!

It could also turn out to be based on amino acids similar to what we have here, but still not be the same DNA style life ... perhaps never getting past RNA replication?

sorry for not explaining the numbers... but... a scientist did research on what makes up other material such as atoms to molicules... and the research was that if all of those material can accidentaly create life and sustain it is 10 to the pwoer of 40,000 and you get the rest... See the old improbable probability problem thread, message 44 You'll be on topic there. Welcome to the fray. Enjoy. we are limited in our ability to understand by our ability to understand RebelAAmericanOZen[Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

Publisher: Philosophical Library (New York) (January 19, 1984) Surprisingly a lot has happened in the last 25 years.
Amazon.com review quote: In other words, the book is out-of-date hogwash. Strangely, I doubt that it goes anywhere useful or even half-way valid. Care to comment on why you think this book has any real value?

Welcome to the fray, cervical.
Does anyone have any thoughts of non-carbon based life? There are other chemicals that can form similar but different compounds, and those differences could be enough different to prevent life. One of the problems is distribution and another is the forming of the more complex molecules. Carbon has an advantage in that there are a number of space born compounds that are "pre-biotic" - almost what we call "organic" molecules because they are found in (gasp) organisms. Do a google search on "PAH Space" -- with "I feel lucky" I got The Astrophysics & Astrochemistry Laboratory This can jump-start carbon based life, while other compounds don't have that advantage.
Why should life need water? Life needs lubrication and flexibility for movement, multicellular life need a transport medium, and it helps to have a compound with a slight electrical bias to dissolve compounds. Enjoy.

Hi Scoff, nice to see you again.
Yeah, not necessarily out of the zone, but still rather alien for life we know. It might not make much difference to waterborn life. Enjoy
BTW, if you get a chance, please contact me at my old Netscape email address (don't forget the numbers 0165). I tried to send one to your old address, but it got sent back. click on "to share" in the sig and my email addy is listed. I don't use netscape anymore, and AOL finally dissed the old netscape board and the website they had hosted (and promised to let you keep). by our ability to understand Rebel American Zen Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share. • • • Join the effort to solve medical problems, AIDS/HIV, Cancer and more with Team EvC!
