Exactly! Each time when I hear that scientists are looking for water because that's supposed to be a condition for life - I wonder how small imagination one needs to have to think that only "water-based" forms of life exist.
- DarkTree 9y agoThink of it this way, it's not that these scientist think that only water-based forms of life exist, but the universe is very, very large, infinitely so. Since we have finite time to search it, where would you start looking? Would you start searching every single planet/star for some life we may not be able to recognize? Or would you take what we do know - that intelligent life can evolve from water-based planets - and at least start looking there?
