And when you think about what it's evolved from; single-celled organisms and what it is now; super complex thinking organisms whose bodies constantly perform countless self-regulatory functions to stay alive, it's completely mind-boggling.
That got me thinking. What if the universe is filled with non-material life, and some of it looks for compatible planets with the ingredients necessary to organize material life? We know that matter and energy are essentially the same thing, just at differing densities. That would mean, hypothetically, that non-material life is abundant in the universe, and the only confine to taking physical form is finding a place where matter can be appropriately structured.
The simplest forms can be pretty neat looking and complex in their own way. Some protists look like they have hands.
I hope the icy moons have protists in their oceans, I want to watch them.
Yeah I wish NASA would get funded better too. I mean there are more important things at this point, really big problems we have here on Earth, but we spend most of our money on far less important things right now.
My girlfriend, her sister and her best friend saw a flying saucer when they were in high school. She said it was huge and hovered about 50 feet above them before flying away. She has no reason to lie about this. Strangely she doesn't seem very interested in discussing the existence of aliens. However I find the topic very interesting. My dad and some of his friends saw a "light in the sky" over the ocean when they were surfing. He said it would hover in place for a minute then dart across the sky, hover, perform 90 degree turns and other aeronautical maneuvers which are not possible with our current aircraft technology. Again, he is not the type of person to make up something like that...
Yeah Xorkoth, apologies for that. He actually aggravated the shit out of me I let it get the better of me. I'll go back to ignoring and talking over him :D
