    honestly forget about origin.

    if an asteroid has this readily, we can much more safely assume the universe is teeming with life.

      An interesting hypothesis I read about focused on the era of the universe when everything was lukewarm. Literally an entire universe in the “sweet spot” for the building blocks of life to form and propagate.

      The idea is that the molecules would form, and then once the universe cooled further would freeze and be spread literally everywhere in similar asteroids. The rare part would be a location sufficiently stable in the goldilocks zone to evolve advanced life, not life itself.

      And that we should probably stfu instead of, you know, shooting golden maps to our planet out of the solar system.

        At this point in the timeline I for one welcome our alien overlords. Maybe they’ll bring unthought science advances, exotic cuisine from another galaxy and unredacted epstein files

        If there is intelligent life in the universe I think it has a moral imperative to fix or eradicate humanity. Let them come here and judge us, they can’t do much worse than we have.

          Interplanetary species are probably wise enough to see the value in letting us fix ourselves, and may see the sentiment you present as immature pussy shit that baby aliens say.
