Your analysis rests on a big silent assumption: that life elsewhere in the universe would be like life on Earth. A different strain of thought holds that life is actually the norm, and the way it developed on Earth was just how it thrived with our conditions. Thus looking for life in the nearest star system would be most logical. We don't know enough to rule out either and I welcome dissidence and widespread investigation, even through avenues some think would be illogical.
- ramraj07 3y agoContinuing the idea that life might be in a completely unrecognizable form, how are we even supposed to study and discover it?
