Basil Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Thanks to The Main Man in this thread. Seems there life here on Earth so different, it scarcely qualifies as alive (by the standards used up until now). Take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Re: How different can life get? As the article states, this discovery may help us identify life in places lke Mars or Europa. Even if there are differences, as seems likely, we have some idea what to look for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DusterBoy Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Re: How different can life get? I'd recommend "What Does A Martian Look Like?" by Jack Cohen and Ian Stewart. It's a fascinating read - although I disagree profoundly with some of their ideas of what constitutes "life". And they'll be at the Discworld Convention in Birmingham this August. Yay!
