Multi-cellular life, sure. But single cell life is hardier and could survive lots of places. And we're blind to the cosmos, period. All we can see is star-size

Multi-cellular life, sure. But single cell life is hardier and could survive lots of places.
And we're blind to the cosmos, period. All we can see is star-sized objects and bigger. No one is ruling out other possibilities, they're just thinking about where we can look first, when we start looking.
- anonymouskimmer 3y agoMulticellular life in the oceans would be bound more to the conditions of an ocean than of the non-marine Earth. And while there's some diversity in oceans, much of this diversity would be captured in any given ocean. Multicellular life tried a whole bunch of shapes and niches early on. It would be interesting if some of the also-rans in Earth's oceans became the winners in other oceans.
