Correct me if Im wrong, but pretty much everything in that article is about how life came to be in earth. Then they figured with same kind of environment same kind of phenomenon should happen somewhere else?
A lot of numbers. Scrolled pretty fast

What if ALL (possible) life aren't based on same kind of environment as here? Theoretically there could be living organisms in Jupiter.

There's like 30k words, but yes and no.

They use data from earth, a place we know sustains life, and look for specific markers on other planets that match earths. Increasing the likely hood of finding another planet suitable for life.

The focus seems to be on planets that are subject to specific wavelength's of light, such as uv, as well as being in a local goldilocks zone, among other factors.

I've seen programs from How the universe works, or The universe, where they say that there may also be planets where conditions life is -more- suitable than it is here. So-called superplanets.

At the end of the day we just dont know

For some reason science implies a huge gap between biotic and abiotic matter, peoples minds are blown at the thought of DNA and RNA processing into things like proteins but consider things such as a gravity simple and commonplace.. my point being I feel like science looks for life only in areas where we might expect it based on our little globe

If things like stars and planets can form spontaneously through active forces I don't see why 'life' cannot come to be in those areas as a chemical resultant

It has been a theory of mine for a long time that our definition of life is inaccurate because there is no data that correlates the transition from abiotic to biotic


Interesting stuff

Does that mean we should not try to find out?

I guess it's cheaper to check planets with known potential than just randomly checking them all out. We havent got far, by far
