    Default 'Hunt ET on Earth'

    'Hunt ET on Earth'
    thesun ^ SCIENTISTS looking for aliens in space should be hunting them on EARTH, it has been claimed.


    Prof Paul Davies said creatures totally different from life as we know it may exist on our planet.


    The UK-born cosmologist, now in Arizona, believes they might not have DNA - meaning they would not have been found by usual life-detection techniques.
    He called for searches for "weird life" in inhospitable places, such as hot, undersea vents.


    Prof Davies said finding alternative life "would be the biggest discovery in biology since Darwin and evolution".
    Libertatem Prius!

    I've read a few articles related to this recently, but can't find them right off. I seem to remember someone finding evidence of life in rocks around 4.4 billion years old, suggesting a Cool Early Earth instead of the hellish model we've accepted for years. If such life existed before the Late Heavy Bombardment it could have survived in hot vents for example, and who can say it was DNA based? But, the question remains, how do we recognize such life if it hasn't already made itself apparent? I really hope this research gets funding quick, I'd like to see this move ahead as soon as possible.
