If there were enough of these warm, water-bearing bodies, then the probability could be low and still result in early life formation, right?

- pfdietz 2y agoEspecially if the "enough" is "enough around any star, anywhere". The a priori probability of it happening around any particular star need not be high. And "anywhere" can be something extremely broad, as in "on any branch of a universal Many Worlds wave function".
- gradus_ad 2y agoYes but the window of time during which these bodies could have contained liquid water was very narrow, so there would have needed to be a very high number of such bodies to support the low probability of life hypothesis
