    CORRECTION: Voyager 1 was 6 *billion* km from Earth when it captured the Pale Blue Dot, not 6 million km like I said. Apparently I don't know how to talk. I regret the error, and also regret that we are somehow still unable to make corrections to UA-cam videos.

      @@cxx23 Ehhh... that is true, in a manner, but, while we don't know what alien life will be like, we can take some educated guesses. For example, even the most basic life needs incredibly complex chemistry, so it would need to be based on an element that can make 4 bonds. Any less than that, & even the simplest self-replicators couldn't exist. Practically speaking, this means carbon, or maaayyybe silicon. Given carbon's relative abundance as compared to silicon, carbon is a solid bet.
      The lighter elements are far more common than heavier ones, so it's not unreasonable to think that life on other planets would be working with pretty similar ingredients -- Hydrogen, Oxygen, etc -- simply because that is what they have access to. These also have pretty interesting chemical properties that would be useful for life to take advantage of, & given how common they are, it would be odd if evolution didn't drive life to use them.
      We can also look at convergent evolution here on earth to see how easily life can evolve certain traits. This doesn't really help much with the very very early stages, since we don't know much about how life started, but we could take some educated guesses about more complex life. For example, there will probably be cells with cell walls, life would probably eventually figure out some form of photosynthesis, & if there are complex, mobile, multicellular organisms, they'd probably develop some sort of blood.
      Notably, this doesn't actually tell us *how* it would do such things, only that it probably would. For example, the odds of finding photosynthesis elsewhere may be fairly high, but the odds of that photosynthesis using chlorophyll would be pretty low, rendering the red light drop technique mentioned in the video useless.
      One of the reasons liquid water is such a big deal is life would likely only develop in some sort of liquid. Very very early replicators wouldn't be able to afford spending energy doing basically anything, & even once they develop a little, they're still going to need all the energy savings they could get. Diffusion would be the only practical zero-energy way of getting nutrients & removing waste products, & that would require being in a liquid. If that liquid is made out of some of the same basic elements you need to build yourself, all the better.
      It may seem self-centered to imply that our form of life is the only that could exist, but at the end of they day, anyone else out there is working with all the same chemistry & physics as us, & are probably facing a lot of the same challenges as life here. From that perspective, it's not so crazy to think whatever's out there would probably be reasonably similar to us.
      All this comes with a huge asterisk, of course. Our knowledge of chemistry is very very good, but not perfect, so it very well could be that under strange conditions (high pressure, weird atmospheres, extreme temperatures) things react differently, making life possible where we wouldn't expect. All this is also, of course, speculation. I have to throw in a bunch of "probably"s & "might"s, since we won't actually be able to say anything more concrete until we actually do find life.

    Joe, So no one will ever read this, because my comment is more than 2 years after the original video. But I've spent about 6 hours now looking at your videos, and I can't express how much I appreciate them -- and I'm a writer! I've always been interested in science, but my career took me in different directions, primarily into law. Had I been a bit better with calculus, I suspect I would have ended up in engineering mechanics, and maybe into chaos theory. Thanks for filling me in on science. With respect to this particular video, it's amazing to think that between when I went to high school -- with no exoplanets known -- and 2019 -- when you did the video -- we've discovered more than 2,000 planets outside our solar system. And that life exists *everywhere* on our planet (although I'm not sure I learned that from you). I hope we get some confirmation of life elsewhere before I die.

    The basic problem is that we are trying to define life in general based on a sample size of one. We don't really have a definition of alien life. For instance, who said liquid water is necessary for life? It is on Earth (mostly), but who said life evolving elsewhere would also need it? We don't even know how to ask that question properly, because we don't have a concept of "life in general"; only of "life on Earth".

      Simple life is, I would say, nearly guaranteed, but intelligent life is probably quite rare. Consider that life has been on Earth for some 4 billion years, multicellular life for only 1-2 billion years, and remotely intelligent life for a few hundred million years. Earth only HAS another billion years before our oceans start to boil. I imagine many, many potentially intelligent species will simply evolve too late to escape their own homeworld, assuming our Earth and Sun are typical of systems with life.

      That's a good question. The basic idea is that chemistry is veeeery likely to be identical everywhere, and water has a knack for making certain chemical reactions feasible. It's why your every cell is a bag of water, and why life evolved in water, etc. However we're not looking for water because that's how we evolved - it's just the most likely candidate.
      Also, you have to start somewhere. :)

    Water isnt necessary for life, methane, hydrogen sulfide, or ammonia can replace it. Silicon and even uranium can replace carbon. Even DNA can be replaced by RNA, or various xeno-nucleic acids such my favourite, ceNa. (Its hard to look this one up because most results are for john cena. Look up Cyclohexene Nucleic Acid. (Tell me if thats correct, its from memory) (also don't you hate meta parentheses.))

      Water is a very good medium for life. The "universal solvent" almost everything will dissolve in water to some degree.
      "...helium...". will absolutely not substitute for water. Helium is a noble gas. It's gaseous to very low temperatures and/or very high pressures. It is very nearly non-reactive. Under extreme conditions helium can become ionized and participate in molecules. These would be exceedingly rare molecules and thus would be useless to depend on for life.
      "...uranium...". maybe in some weird ecosystem uranium could form long chains. But compared to nearly every other element in the universe it is extremely rare. Carbon is so prevalent in life processes because it so readily forms complex molecules AND because it's so common. Part of the CNO (carbon-nitrogen-oxygen) fusion chain it is produced in vast quantities by every star. Uranium is produced only in the brief moments of supernova.
