LIFE BEYOND II: The Museum of Alien Life (4K)
melodysheep・2 minutes read
Alien life search focuses on understanding what to look for, considering natural laws and environmental limitations, with carbon being crucial for life and forming stable molecules. The possibility of over a million alternatives to DNA, potential for convergent evolution leading to similar life forms on Earth-like planets, and the concept of alien plants having different colors based on their sun's spectrum are also discussed.
Insights
