Brandon Hernandez
space is retarded and fake anyway based firmament needs no unempirical (((dark matter)))
Anthony Bennett
Wait...they assumed they had all either no atmosphere or that when they had one it was breathable ? Did they looked at our own solar system ?
Aiden Butler
>carbon dioxide is too poisonous for life try telling that to a tree
oxygen is a highly reactive gas and was a deadly pollutant on the early plant filled earth until animals showed up to breathe it. Unless there are literal clouds of boiling sulfuric acid like on Venus it’s an awfully premature assumption to make to say that co2 or carbon monoxide prevents all complex life from evolving
Fucking space aliens can probably breathe liquid arsenic. We don't know. We can't know. Imagining a what a silicon based lifeform looks like or does is like trying to explain colours to a blind guy
Henry Mitchell
>aliens must be carbon based >there is zero way for it to be anything else tards lmao
haven't there already been microorganisms discovered that are made up of arsenic??
Alexander Allen
>toxic to humans >therefore toxic to everything else
There are no aliens. We would’ve found some sort of evidence of their existence by now. God is real and the Bible is true.
Cooper Stewart
more and more evidence that we are the only intelligent life and that earth is quite literally the most important place in the entire universe
Eli Long
Unironically this. To some alien race, maybe nitrogen gas is highly toxic and our planet looks to them exactly like their carbon monoxide planet does to us.
Carter Hall
They're literally just making it up as they go along. Science these days is less about evidence and more about headlines and $$$.
Isaac Rogers
Scientists are not the ones making these clickbait articles
Henry Lopez
Wouldn’t organisms just evolve to breathe the “toxic” gas on that planet?
Connor Jackson
This. Similarly inhabitable for life on earth might be toxic to life on other planets. To assume there's only one livable environment, when there are near identical species of the same animal here on earth with completely different diets and habitats is ludicrous.
James Taylor
No they are the ones doing click bait science and reaching click bait conclusions about click bait subject matter to keep their click bait driven grant money.
The first mass extinction event occurred because endosymbiosis created oxygen, which was toxic to most life at that time. Whoever wrote this is redardation xD.
Wyatt Kelly
Is this where Jews came from? Space? To avoid the gas?
William Gomez
imagine thinking you can know that
Asher Wilson
One of the biggest redpills that Jow Forums refuses to swallow is that Earth is the ONLY habitable world in the universe, and that this ridiculously improbable planet was made for us by a being of incalculable complexity and power.
Do you have any evidence for non-carbon based life, or are you just repeating some speculative meme you picked up from science fiction?
Jeremiah Martinez
Must be journalist "scientists" because the explanation was vague
Juan Wood

Thomas Wright
Aliens are actually real and they ate catholics as well, popes have been interstellar for centuries but they choose to keep it quiet.
Kevin Martin
What if the aliens live on toxic gas damn humans are so dumb what if nothing lived in water on those planets and they lookin at earth saying we dont exist cuz we all water and shiet damm dude think bro
Joshua Thompson
>be NASA >furthest ever probe has not even made it a fraction of the way to another star >”yup, you can tell by the pixels here that this planet is made of rancid farts”
So many idiot autists dream about going to other planets because of SciFi, and the media keeps feeding these stories. Mars probably looks habitable from 20 light years out. Reality is, you can't escape clown world on a spaceship.
Zachary Edwards
It'd be hilarious if an alien civilization 50,000 light years away is also writing our planet off as we speak because, "it's shrouded in horrifyingly high levels of oxygen that would kill us sulfur-breathing Qfjigllers in seconds!"
Aaron Morris
Trees aren't anaerobic organisms you absolute faggot There is no complex life on our planet that doesn't use Oxygen
Samuel Reed
We are literally a miracle.
Nathaniel Taylor
I love scien- Speculation. I mean.
Juan Lopez
Humans are the only intelligent life in the milky way. Maybe the first to evolve. I'm talking about whites and some gooks ofc.
Leo Ross
Technically oxygen is a toxic gas, too. One life form's toxin is another's metabolic energy source.
Gavin Jackson
hey science boy, isn't what we know in (((science))) all we have to go off of?
Hunter Perez
>Reality is, you can't escape clown world on a spaceship. this. we have too much shit here to solve than worry about some faggy planet too far away.
Brayden Diaz
While life could exist in other forms, its most likely going to be bacterial slimes on planets like that. Our atmosphere is more ideal for organic Chemistry to turn into complex biochemistry as the nitrogen really stabilizes the reactivity of the air.
Robert Stewart
>Plants need oxygen
Plants produce that oxygen as the first stage of their cellular respiration. Fucking literally intro to biology.
Tyler Thompson
>this brainlet honestly thinks that things go from chaotic to ordered naturally
Brody Hill
Yeah but when plants die they consume oxygen when they decay, and since death is a part of the cycle of life it is therefore the same as being alive, checkmate conservatards nothing personnel kiddou
John Wood
>no you don’t get it, time is infinity and anything can happen! >so it did! t. Superbrain turboatheist.
Eli Miller
nothing lasts forever, not even chaos
eventually some molecules fall into a pattern that starts self-replicating, and fills the chaos with replications of itself
Joseph Carter
A reaction occured which was self sustaining due to the environment. As the environment turned from a deadly chaotic organic stew to a more stable planet, life arose from those self sustaining chemical reactions.
Brody Bailey
>Wait...they assumed they had all either no atmosphere or that when they had one it was breathable ? No, they obviously did not, you idiot. Stop assuming sensationalist headlines are accurate or truthful.
Liam Lewis
iirc earth had fuck all oxygen before plantlife took over
Isaac Bailey
>While life could exist in other forms, its most likely going to be bacterial slimes on planets like that We're LIKELY not the only intelligent life in the universe even if it is something akin to slime. Just don't expect anything friendly to be waiting to meet us.. youtube.com/watch?v=jRXQsQKGqIU
Oxygen is good for complex life but simplier forms of life use methane, oxygen is toxic. simple life based on tholoins that use methane to breath is likley the majority.
Christian Green
Loose oxygen yes, but plenty of oxygen trapped in CO2/CO sure
Caleb Ross
No. The case you're thinking of are microbes that allegedly could use arsenic instead of phosphorus in their DNA, but that was also blown out of proportion. They could only incorporate a tiny amount of arsenic, the rest still had to be phosphorus or they'd die.
Charles Evans
what does it all matter when in 50 years the most urging question world wide is "Who will be Miss Haram 2054?"
Luis Nguyen
We all goin to hell :(

Aliens don't exist, it's kike psyop
Austin Martinez
Unless there is an incredibly rare kind of star that dosent conform to known laws for stars of its size then Przybylski's Star looks like an ayy technosignature. you dont get stars with signifcant amounts of plutonium user.
Owen Stewart
underrated
Alexander Edwards
not true. we already know that Mars was once habitable. we not only know of 1 but 2 habitable ones.
chances are ever increasing
Liam Bell
i would think plants could utilized the carbon dioxide.
Jaxson Wood
We can assume any species of life that makes it past the great barrier into extraterrestrial contact will be logical and math oriented. Thus they will either kill us before we become a threat, or not see us as a threat and ignore us and perhaps contact us once we are stable enough for them.
Jackson Kelly
And another idiot in this thread. Plants DO respire oxygen. The fact that they also produce it during the day doesn't change that.
Jow Forums truly is the most scientifically illiterate board.
Shameful!
Blake Thomas
I wonder if said planet has their own Jow Forums or Jow Forums, shitposting about this very topic
Yeah scientists are retarded about what habitable means. Even on our own planet creatures live underground in pools of fucking acid with no oxygen. They never consider these situations when looking for life. It pisses me off because I guarantee if they started exploring caves on Mars they'd find something
*hits joint* brooooo what if we’re like the aliens maaaaaan
Jason Morgan
There has been some research which showed plasma forming corkscrew like helix patterns and dividing to form new copies.
Anthony Rodriguez
>we already know that Mars was once habitable
Not enough for intelligent space faring life to develop. Water is everywhere, even on the moon.
Jayden Myers
>carbon dioxide is a poison for the start of a food chain >scientists say >scientists who dip into the annual $1.7Trillion global warming fund say Plants disagree with this "science".
>As the environment turned from a deadly chaotic organic stew to a more stable planet, life arose from those self sustaining chemical reactions. It's amazing you guys don't realize how ridiculous this sounds.
What the fuck defines "deadly" or "stable" Deadly to who or what? It's so arbitrary
Thomas Wilson
>space faring life user said the true redpill would be that "earth is the ONLY habitable planet in the entire universe".
i just debunked this theory with a planet in our own solar system
John Young
"scientists" don't even get that water doesn't stick to spinning balls yet lel.
they can't reproduce that because it defies physics. stupid idiots.
>tholoins Dark matter does not need to be exotic. It could easily be that our assumptions about the birth of the universe is wrong, and we have guestimated the levels of molecular hydrogen in outerspace wrong by a significant factor, or something else entirely like lots of planetoids in interstellar space that we too faint to observe.
Blake Fisher
Whatever gas is used by life is the one that in proportion to all the other available particles per cubic inch is the least energy intensive to utilise. There was enough CO2 for a simple photosynthetic conversion, as O2 rose proportionately plants developed to recycle that product for themselves in addition to their main course, like having dessert. All the gas has to be, is convertible to heat through a chemical process.
Josiah Cox
>I wonder if said planet has their own Jow Forums or Jow Forums, shitposting about this very topic
that 3rd rock from the star on the edge of the galaxy can't possibly support intelligent life. look how blue that shit is.
Landon King
there is evidence of past life on Mars there is evidence to make life on Saturn's moon Titan very likely the entire solar system is filled with Tholium - the mixture of chemicals that life on earth sprang from
There is no debate on whether there is life in our solar system or beyond - it is already accepted that bacteria tier life is common as dirt everywhere. Debate now rages about life more complex than bacteria.
You faggots actually believe in (((space)))? This. (((Space exploration))) is a psyop to leech the world of its most valuable resources. Think of it, what does launching precious fuel, metal, and rare elements into a supposedly infinite vacuum accomplish?
The number of ways for there to be anything else is pretty limited
To make complicated things you need pretty sophisticated variety of chemistry
Only way you get that sort of chemistry is with Hydrocarbon system as a "focus"
The only thing that gets close is Silicon-Oxygen complexes
Hence why silicon based life is a meme in Sci-fi
Even in the case of the false arsenic-incorporating bacteria found in that lake, the arsenic was only replacing phosphorus atoms in the Phosphate-deoxyribose backbone, the Carbon-chemistry was still central to the DNA itself.
Under extreme pressures and with specific working fluids, your options might open up a bit, but you would still need mincingly specific conditions to create any higher order chemistry, regardless of "center"
Cameron Brown
We are alone in the universe. If we were not alone, the evidence would be blatant and obvious. All the public funding for all this nonsense needs to be zeroed out.
