Proof of extraterrestrial life would be one of the greatest discoveries of all time with profound philosophical implications.
- anigbrowl 9y agoYes, but there are two ways to approach that: cautiously explore apparently barren planets and eventually, maybe, find evidence of primitive life life, either ongoing or ancient; or explore as widely and as prolifically as possible.
- narrator 9y agoI don't think it matters. If it's genetically interesting, that will increase our understanding of biology, but otherwise the practical implications are nil. Profound philosophical implications are a joke. You and the rest of the world would forget about it in a week. Look at the UFO videos the pentagon released in December. No one cares.
