What makes you say that, though? I don't see any reason for it. Some ethereal galaxy-scale lifeform might be thinking as well that "life cannot exist in the extremely hot, hyperdense environment of a planet" for example. This is pure speculation from your part.
- Koshkin 9y agoYou may be right about ethereal lifeforms, but real ones need to eat, breathe, etc.; they are also subject to the laws of thermodynamics: they need energy, and also in order to maintain low entropy inside they must increase the entropy of the environment - which would be hard if there was no environment to speak of.
