Ultracold-Resistant Chemical on Titan Could Allow It to Harbor Life

So I read the above article, and for some reason my mind thought of this:

It's actually refreshing to hear some outside the box postulating, instead of the traditional "doesn't support life as we know it, move along".

People need to challenge the notion of what it is to say "as we know it". We don't know everything, so by default almost anything is technically possible.

I knew the frost giants were real!!

So, question. What would or could be life as we don't know it?

[Hobble]

Cool.

Get it?

Ive always thought Titan or Europa would be where we found life in this solar system

In a universe as big as this all things are possible.

What The Bleep Do We Know Anyways?

A minute amount in the grand scheme of things.

Too bad its so sparse we can't see it all. I mean we are like way too far away to check anything out. We are literally just looking at pictures and making educated guesses as to where life is.

Not to mention since the nearest solar system with possible life is so far away that it takes light a while to travel from there to here. In that time, the planet can literally be destroyed and we wouldn't find out for years after it actually was.

This throws a wrench into all of our Hubble space pictures because lets say we see a far away planet that may harbor life and we send something there. We have no guarantee that the planet is still there cause of the sheer distance and time delay.

It's so crazy how big space is, sometimes its incomprehensible.

And then you consider how we as humans are so complex and intricate. When you go from seeing stuff like laminin or white blood cells in our bodies to a black hole or a supernova in space, it blows your mind
