For astrobiologists looking for life on other planets, there are simply no tools for predicting the features of life as we don't know it.

This from SciTech Daily.

In new research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team of scientists has tackled this restriction by identifying universal patterns in the chemistry of life that do not appear to depend on specific molecules.

These findings provide a new opportunity for predicting features of alien life with different biochemistry to Earth life.

The long and short of this is that there could be life forms out there functioning in ways that we don't recognize based upon our current understanding of biology.

The universe is not only stranger than we can imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine we can imagine.

Oh,

good.

That's the line that traveled.

SciTech Daily ran it as a headline.

This simple phone hack can improve mental health as much as antidepressants.
