    What is the probability of life in Universe?

    Graduate How many exoplanets with an atmospheric oxygen signature would be necessary?

    i see no reason for it to require oxygen at all. there are many others gases. what's to say a technological species would require oxygen? they may be able to breath nitrogen only. or carbon dioxide. your assumptions are based on the idea that all life requires oxygen. also, you said that the...

    Should We Use Results from Immoral Research?

    'immoral' is a realtive term. what may be immoral to me, may not be immoral to you, and vice versa. due to this, i cannot answer it correctly. suffice to say, as long as a death is painless, i have no problem with it. you might consider this 'immoral', but i do not. i consider willingly causing...

    Ways to Destroy Earth/Life on Earth
