Webb finds molecule only made by living things in another world::undefined
I’m so excited to discover a totally different take on life because it will help us truly define what life is.
Then again if we find a similar take on life (carbon based, compatible chemistry to life on earth) then that’s pretty interesting too, implying either panspermia or that there’s something special about this configuration. It also likely means we have more potential for useful discoveries from that life system, as well as threats.
Convergent evolution happens all the time with life on earth. The fact the other life has developed in a similar way will not be surprising. It likely wouldn’t be identical, but if they use a similar basis for a DNA type thing, or something like that, it won’t imply panspermia.
It will imply my spermia being in them, though
We are talking about life on other planets, not your mom
