A truly amazing discovery. I watched the video posted here.

Did you even look at those links before posting them, though? NONE of them work, except the embedded YouTube video.

I just read about this, its amazing imo. what if we put this on another planet, would it eventually evolve like we did? makes you wonder if some alien scientists put the first lifeforms here on earth.

what other planet can survive like us? oxygen? ozone layer? distance from the sun? "people can die from heat here so dont tell me any planet that is closer can survive" etc many more!!! alot of planets do not have living conditions like we do
