naka basa pod ko ani na news.. but wala ko ni follow up sa news na.

Actually this topic would only be appropriate once the announcement has already been made. The fact that wala pa ang announcement, this topic serves no purpose but only to fuel wild speculation. Let's wait until the announcement has already been done. For now, putting the thread in the freezer.

This is a great news indeed. Now we know that organism can be made up of poisonous elements. This is also means that life outside earth is possible.



OT:
No offense mod but I wonder why this topic was closed previously when this is a very appropriate topic. The purpose of the forum is to share information and ideas whether it is a speculation, theory, hypothesis or not as long as it is being shared productively. It is just odd for me.

I think it's because the original title was different bro, giving the reader a hint of extra-terrestrial life when in fact, NASA only called for a press conference but did not specifically state any hint of such life.

I guess our previous assumption on life is wrong after all.. there could be life out there.

Kanindot kung naa sila makit-an nga habitable planet sa?
Nya kita sila ug ET species, may unta naay pareha ug mga pokemon... hehehe

[manoyjoe]

the press conference was about a microbe discovered in Mono Lake(that place is here on earth btw) that uses arsenic( a poisonous chemical) to live, ang implications ani nya kay musamot kadako ang boundaries sa research sa life outside our planet kay unlike before nga nag pangita tag other organisms nga parehas sa ato nga nag kinahanglan ug oxygen para mabuhi, now we can assume nga naa poy mga organisms nga mabuhi even if poisonous ang environment, so karon kailangan i consider napud nato ang planets nga dili habitable sa humans.... pero basin habitable ni kokey
