Resilience is probably not that closely linked to the probability of arising. Maybe once it exists, it is resilient, but when it is absent, chances of it arising are still very low.
- StanislavPetrov 10y agoBased on what? The only planet that we've explored extensively (Earth) is teeming with life everywhere we look.
- Evgeny 10y agoJust a thought. As you yourself say, we know only of one planet with life. However, looks like life only arise once on this planet. If life is so abundant in the Universe, why wouldn't it at least arise several times independently on the planet where the conditions are so great?
- StanislavPetrov 10y agoIt would have to die off before it could arise again. Fortunately with a Hillary Clinton administration looming, we may get to see that scenario play out.
- Scarblac 10y agoBut we didn't exactly choose this planet for our explorations randomly. We explored here because we lived here, and found there is life. Can't really extrapolate from that.
