I was watching a show about our universe and they were talking about how life needs to be part of a habitable zone in order to survive.
However we have yet to find any other life to compare with other than ourselves. When I hear about life on something as extreme as say a gas giant people always seem to say "The pressure and conditions are too intense. Atmosphere is all over the place, too close or far from its sun, etc"
But we have absolutely no idea on how other life forms, just theories about us and our creation. My question is do you think life can or has formed on planets who's conditions are unthinkably extreme compared to us?
Does life need a temperate rock to survive or is this just the way some of it forms. Can martians exist elsewhere? Maybe our solar system's life is just weak when it comes to how life forms compared to others? For that matter what if other life found our planet as being uninhabitable?!
thoughts?
