our universe isnt young like it was

they werent always dead

soon we will be dead

and its very probable other planets have life but we cannot interact with them

nor will we ever be able to

so why care

Okay, this is interesting....

Apparently life has existed on earth for 4.1 billion years.

yeah earth life is very adaptable

And earth has only been around for 4.5 billion years.

yup life can survive in very shitty conditions

so perhaps we arent seeing what is right infront of us

but its probably microbal

talk to @Deleted User about this hes very intrested in space

That is quite an interesting question, if life on earth formed shortly after (In astronomical terms) after earth collided with a mars shaped planet and absorbed it, leading the earth to become nearly as hot as the sun, then how was life able to form during that time?

it cooled down

and there are bacteria that survive in similar insane conditions

there called extremophiles i think

i could be wrong

if we ever reach space

maybe we could look for similar life in extreme conditions

its probably not concious but hey

During that time, it is likely that earth still had a giant hole inside it and looked like it was dented, and the moon most likely was a giant ball of flames and asteroids at the time, how would life be able to form during this time?

who knows

every planet we reach is dead

weve only ever been in our solar system

and we cant directly see other planets

if we found intellegent aliens tomorrow what would you do

@Deleted User and @Deleted User

thats not an alien

thats a tardigrade

the only creature that has survived in space

and had kids

in space

no oxygen

and it can survive in any climate

its virtually immortal

life that can survive on any condition is possible and its creepy as hell

there is life at the bottom of the ocean
