Life in a Distance Universe
What is life in terms of a planet? What is life in terms of a galaxy? What is life in terms of a solar system? More importantly does some type of “life” exist in another universe somewhere? In order to answer this timeless question one must first answer what is life. From there once the definition of “life” is established, and then we can research, investigate, and come to a conclusion of whether life exists in another universe somewhere. It must be said that we might have to come to a philosophical conclusion as one could never fully research every planet as there is an infinite numbers of planets. In this paper the main argument will be made physically and theoretically for the case of life in another universe.
Many humans on planet Earth tend to believe that life is described as tiny microscopic material called bacteria. In terms of an astronomer speaking one might describe …show more content…

The main problem is the distance. For example “at a distance of about 2.5 million light years, the Andromeda galaxy (also known as NGC 224 and M31) is the nearest galaxy to the Earth apart from smaller companion galaxies such as the Magellanic Clouds.” (http://www.bbc.co.uk/) 2.5 millions light years is hard to comprend in earth time. The simple fact is once again we kinda know of ways to travel very fast theoretically. These ideas just not have been developed yet.
Another argument for the existence of life on other planets is the phenomenon of extremophiles! These orgasims are a type of living being that can thrive under high temperature and pressure. Some can even survive without oxygen. Lots of these extremophiles are found at the bottom of the ocean near hydrothermal vents.(http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/) And the best part is we are finding new extremophiles. It wouldn be crazy to think that we actually might be able to find this type of organism on some other planet or
