I wonder if, somewhere in the vastness of planets in space, a life form on at least one of these planets has evolved to live, even if temporarily, in the small zone of empty space surrounding it's planet. Due to gravity, I'd assume that any living thing must start it's evolution attached to the planet and a part of it. But perhaps as dolphins and whales are able to take a deep breath and live underwater for a long period of time, a form of life could learn how to take a deep breath from the atmosphere and go into outer space and return when another breath is needed. The need to break free from the planets gravity is an obvious hurdle, as well as the very low temperature, but life tends to spread to locations where other life isn't to reduce competition. Perhaps more microscopic creatures could break free easier since their gravity is less. Later though, the ones that live in space could continue to evolve until they are larger. Of course there's humans that have been able to live in space, floating in habitat bubbles called "space ships" as I've seen on the jetsons, factual documentaries of our future civilization which somehow was passed to us through time. Scientists are currently most puzzled as to why we will appear as cartoons in the future. One theory is that new pollutants in the atmosphere will bend light in some way to give it this appearance, but there are many skeptics. |

hehehe! that's a very interesting idea though. that would be cool if there were lifeforms like that somewheres. |

but space is a vaccuum, the problem isnt just about no air, its also about your molecules being pulled apart...not to mention the temperatures too low for any multicellular organism to endure.... |

plus you couldn't navigate... locomotion would be impossible since objects objects react with an equal and opposite reaction, unless these life forms moved by taking explosive craps while aiming in the direction they want to move, which is definately a possibility. |

I wish I knew what space was even. You can at least hold matter in your hand. Space is baffling but perhaps only in the brain of an ape that's evolved in a world composed of mass. |

Aliens don't necessarily have to be composed of cells, and probably by chaos theory, aren't. The probability of such a similar construction is just too unlikely, that's like us saying god created us to look like him. Perhaps the non-carbon life, ones made of titanium or something can better endure temperature extremes. I also wonder if life exists on any gaseous planet, that would be cool. Or life in a black hole.. There's just such vastness, that it seems possible somewhere at least. Of course, I suppose we'll have to constantly redefine exactly what :life: IS when we meet things that are hard to classify as life or... inanimate. |

Fascinating. I just cant wait until we actually do find other life out there. It will be interesting to see how they evolved. |

If we do find it, I'm sure we'll study it, classify it, etc. before finally moving in to exploit it fully for our selfish advantage. We made movies about terrifying space aliens that wanted to kill us which is ironic since we'll likely play the role of the terrifying space aliens. Naturally I don't know anything for sure. Or even the smallest percent of suredness a ma jig. |

then theres the huge amount of energy required to leave any planets' gravatational pull....no life can exist on a planet with no gravity since they would just float away.... i agree an alien doesnt have to be composed of cells but surely it would need to utalise energy to move.... and as for life in a black hole, that simply impossible, a black hole is a region of space, not an object |

God damn, I wish you'd learn the benefits of paragraphs, but other than that, nice thoughts. There's gotta be something out there... I hope we encounter them during my lifetime, and I hope they're hostile and try to kill is. We win, of course, because we have Will Smith and Sigourney Weaver. |
