I’m currently developing ideas I have for a story that takes place on a water world. I’m not sure if I want it to become a script for a tv series, video games, comics, but most likely a novel series.
Imagine something similar to Star Trek and Mass Effect mixed with elements of Destiny, Ben 10, Avatar, and Halo.
No.
Id wager theres a decent chance, maybe not necessarily on these types of planets, but in general for life outside of Earth. Well, I should clarify that I think it’s enough of a chance to not have a definite “no” answer.
Wouldn’t be able to give you a percentage of course, but mostly because “it happened here”, space is really huge, and also that environmental pressures already select for certain configurations of molecules and atoms (albeit whose combinations aren’t life forms). I think there just needs to be a state of environment where the configuration of molecules that we call life becomes possible, or becomes a more likely/favorable state to have than whatever other states are possible.
Yeah, there’s a good chance, but I don’t think we’ll hit a discovery until decades later from now.
I’m… reserved, is my position.
I think lots of people make the mistake of thinking that life has to evolve in Earth-like conditions or to our standards.
I agree that is more likely, but we are our only frame of reference and the sample size is quite large. I’m more or less confident that life is out there, but I’m not sure if we’ll discover it in time before capitalism is overthrown or leads to planetary extinction.
If it puts your mind at ease, multiple scientists think its only a matter of time before we discover alien life on other planets, decades or even years from now.
Pleeease.
Pwease
:(
I’m just betting on the “safe” answer, tbh.
I mean, it could have a better chance of having life, but you know what the answer usually is.
Still…
I’m sure eventually we’ll hit on one, but I’m keeping my expectations in check; it’ll take decades before we find one (that’s what I tell myself to not get my hopes up).
