2 Are the green men likely to exist?
- Yes, logically. We have seen plenty of possible venues
- No. Not according to at least one study. See Complex alien life
- So far, we have established the myriad of opportunities.
- However, distance is always the problem.
3 Complex alien life
Where is complex alien life hanging out in the universe? Likely not on planets stewing in toxic gases, according to a new study that dramatically reduces the number of worlds where scientists will have the best luck finding ET. 13 06 19
The hope is to show this as not the end of the little green men world.

- What currency do such images carry?
- Woolly thinking.
- Why base lack of imagination on the man model?
- breathing model?
- breathing oxygen model? Nitrogen is in
- abundance in the universe*.
- living thing model?
- If there is intelligent life (Galactitions?) elsewhere, it may share our problem of access. They may be at our stage of intergallactic travel.
- Or defunct and we'll come to that soon.

Deep sea fissures give out noxious gases and yet creatures depend on them.
which thrive in chemically extreme conditions that
usually discourage life on Earth.
* Microbes that have adapted to survive in very harsh
environments.
In the past 30 years, ... , our knowledge of life in extreme environments has exploded.
Scientists have found microbes in nuclear reactors, microbes that love acid, microbes that swim in boiling-hot water.
Whole ecosystems have been discovered around deep sea vents where sunlight never reaches and the emerging vent-water is hot enough to melt lead.
Tube worms are among the dominant species in one of four cold seep community types in the Gulf of Mexico.
A cold seep (sometimes called a cold vent) is an area of the ocean floor where
hydrogen sulfide, methane and other hydrocarbon-rich fluid seepage occurs, often in
the form of a brine pool. Cold does not mean that the temperature of the seepage is
lower than that of the surrounding sea water. On the contrary, its temperature is often
slightly higher.
5 Gravity (A Ladybird Expert Book)
- What is Gravity?
- How does it work?
- And why are there extreme gravitational environments?
Explore how gravity controls the shape of space and the passage of
time itself, influencing the history and destiny of the entire Universe.
Discover the vast and momentous effects of this profound force on
the world around us.
Written by celebrated physicist and broadcaster Jim Al-Khalili,
Gravity is a fascinating and authoritative introduction to a
phenomenon as familiar to us as breathing.
