My point is that there are vastly more environments different than Earth, than similar ones.
And that while having proof that water based life forms are possible, we do not yet know how common they are. Maybe water is, considered in astronomical terms, an hostile substrate for life.
- PhasmaFelis 10y agoIt's really all just guessing, with only one data point. It may be that you're right, and alien life is all incomprehensibly weird in different ways. Or it may be turn out that only semi-Earth-like conditions can produce life, and it all looks rather familiar. Or it may be somewhere in between. I hope I live long enough to find out.
