It is also conceivable that there are forms of life whose solvent is a liquid hydrocarbon, such as methane, ethane or propane. [45] Another unknown aspect of potential extraterrestrial life would be the chemical elements that would compose it. Life on Earth is largely composed of carbon, but there could be other hypothetical types of ...
Enrico Fermi (1901–1954) The Fermi paradox is a conflict between the argument that scale and probability seem to favor intelligent life being common in the universe, and the total lack of evidence of intelligent life having ever arisen anywhere other than on Earth. The first aspect of the Fermi paradox is a function of the scale or the large ...
Great Filter. The Great Filter is the idea that, in the development of life from the earliest stages of abiogenesis to reaching the highest levels of development on the Kardashev scale, there is a barrier to development that makes detectable extraterrestrial life exceedingly rare. [1] [2] The Great Filter is one possible resolution of the Fermi ...
Interstellar travel is the hypothetical travel of spacecraft from one star system, solitary star, or planetary system to another. Interstellar travel is expected to prove much more difficult than interplanetary spaceflight due to the vast difference in the scale of the involved distances. Whereas the distance between any two planets in the ...
Interstellar, starring Matthew ... In true form for Nolan, the film is a bit of a mind-bender. ... A team of astronauts sets out to space in search of another planet that could support life, using ...
Panspermia (from Ancient Greek πᾶν (pan) 'all' and σπέρμα (sperma) 'seed') is the hypothesis that life exists throughout the Universe, distributed by space dust, [1] meteoroids, [2] asteroids, comets, [3] and planetoids, [4] as well as by spacecraft carrying unintended contamination by microorganisms, [5] [6] [7] known as directed ...
e. A molecular cloud, sometimes called a stellar nursery (if star formation is occurring within), is a type of interstellar cloud, the density and size of which permit absorption nebulae, the formation of molecules (most commonly molecular hydrogen, H 2 ), and the formation of H II regions. This is in contrast to other areas of the interstellar ...
