    Neil brought up snakes not having limbs but they move just fine. However they did once have limbs and were originally an aquatic lizard from what i’ve learnt. I suspect from that sea snakes first evolved and quickly spread around the globe and became mostly land based.

    • @robo5013
      @robo5013 3 місяці тому +12

      Snakes were terrestrial lizards that evolved to lose their limbs when some of them specialized to hunt the first mammals which were burrowing creatures. Those lizards that had smaller limbs were more successful in traversing the burrows and over time evolution 'selected' the ones with smaller and smaller limbs until they disappeared altogether. Those first mammals being the common ancestors of all mammals and their first predator being snakes is why almost all mammals retain a natural fear of snakes.

      there are indeed aquatic snakes too, coz life fills every niche available. but that happened later.
      also you can see a pattern because there are nowadays actual lizards with no legs, or very small legs, that look like snakes but they still have eyelids and ear holes. and the jaw is totally different, etc etc. but yeah you know what i mean. very very interesting, if you guys are into reptiles and other stuff i reccomend "Clint's reptiles", great channel! they also talk about many other things including phylogeny, dinosaurs and best pets👌

    Studying extremophiles on Earth is a crucial part of understanding the potential habitability of places like Mars, Europa, and distant exoplanets. These organisms thrive in extreme conditions, similar to what we might find on other celestial bodies. By exploring how life can survive in Earth's harshest environments, NASA gains valuable insights into where and how we might discover alien life. It’s incredible to think that what we learn from Earth’s own resilient organisms could help guide our search for life beyond our planet!

      Everything that's been built has been done with the thought that a human would utilize it, thus it would be built in a fashion ideal for us. I assumed it'd be the same for any aliens, tentacles or otherwise. We might have trouble imagining it logistically because we only have our own perspective to look from. If some other animal (besides primates or anything with hands) had the intelligence to craft tools we'd probably have a better idea.

    Regarding the question about the definition of life....I think this question would be rather relevant to ask ourselves:

    I think that's something that we would have to be able to answer in order to ever be able to decide whether something is alive or not when it comes to "lifeforms" on other worlds that (probably) don't meet the criteria we use for defining life 🤔
    And besides, if life on other planets isn't made up out of cells, is it even reasonable to use the existing criteria as we understand it? I feel like the "is a virus a lifeform"-question has to be answered first in order to proceed in case we find something and dismiss it for not being "alive" enough for us 🤷‍♀️

      You might want to take a look again at all the data that has been coming out from our own government and these secret programs that are just coming to light from former Navy pilots and government whistle blowers. And then to learn that pilots since the 40's have been officially reporting the same exact things that people today from all over the world are officially reporting. Congress has been putting legislation in specifically talking about this matter. It is worth looking into, in my opinion.

    What is the plausibility for a planet or moon's tidal friction to be great enough that liquid water be prevalent without a star and what possibilities there in?

    • @davidwebb4451
      @davidwebb4451 3 місяці тому

      It has been speculated that a moon around a rogue gas giant or brown dwarf could be heated enough by tidal friction to have a sub-surface ocean in the same way as some of the moons in our outer solar system. Exploration of the sub-surface oceans of the moons in our solar system should provide further information as to whether the presence of such oceans could lead to the formation of life.

    • @joshb8302

      My first thought is that a planet with sufficient tidal forces to keep it "warm" in the absence of much solar energy would be too volcanic to have any advanced life.

    Even within the Milky Way, the distances are just too great for any true exchange between us and an alien race. We don't have the political will to advace our technology fast enough to become space faring as a united people.

    make & send a underwater probe with a pearl neclace of radio relays and send it to the ice moons (that has suspected liquid oceans) like Enceladus& Europa -have it melt down into the moons ice, while leaving & detaching the pearls of radio relays behind at intervals to allow communication through the ice, and then use it to explore if the sea of Euorpa has life inside it

    The way I see it, we see the universe repeating itself. Galaxies have classification just like stars have classifications, we find plenty of stars that are like our sun and we find plenty of stars that have gas giants like Jupiter. So would it be a stretch to think that there are other planets like ours?
