The discussion revolves around the likelihood of alien life in our solar system, focusing on Mars and Jupiter's moon, Europa. Mars is believed to have had water and potentially supported life before losing its atmosphere. Europa, with its subsurface ocean and water plumes, is considered a strong candidate for hosting life, possibly similar to Earth's early single-celled organisms. The conversation highlights the intriguing evidence supporting the existence of extraterrestrial life, drawing parallels to life's evolution on Earth.
Okay, so final part of our interview, do you have any questions for me about the topic of aliens and our solar system? What planet do you think is most likely from your research that you've done? Okay, personally, I think that Mars used to have life, but what happened to Mars is they lost their atmosphere. It used to have water, that's why it's red. So now it's covered in rust, basically. But it used to be covered in water, and then it lost all its atmosphere, and so the water went out into space.
So I think that Mars definitely could have had life, especially since it's the closest to Earth and in the zone where life could be probable, or life like ours at least. Currently, I'm feeling very convinced by... wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I keep forgetting which planet the moon is, but I wrote it down. Europa, Jupiter's moon. It has a subsurface ocean, so the top is like ice, but underneath there's evidence of water, because you can see these water plumes from space, they're huge.
And Jupiter, it's called tidal seating, so since Jupiter's so big, it pulls on it so much that it heats it up because it's friction. That's interesting. Yeah, so it heats up the water underneath, so there could be sea creatures or single-celled... because life on Earth started with single-celled ocean organisms. So there could be those, possibly, but we don't know, but me personally, that's my guess. If I had to guess, out of any of the possibilities, I would say Europa.
Yeah, I definitely agree with you. After what you just said, there's some pretty undeniable evidence that there is life or was life out there. So true. No, I definitely think so, too, because just how life played out on Earth, I feel like if there was alien life, surely it would have to be a similar way? You know what I mean? I feel like things in the universe kind of happen in similar ways, so... I don't know.
Yeah, really makes you think. So true.
