    Europa Life
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the potential for life in Europa's subsurface ocean, protected by an ice sheet from Jupiter's radiation. There is skepticism about the existence of complex life forms due to low energy levels and the time required for evolution. Simple life forms are considered more likely if a hospitable environment exists. The role of cosmic radiation as a possible energy source is also questioned, along with the potential for other energy sources. The conversation concludes that while simple life is plausible, complex multicellular organisms are unlikely without significant changes in environmental conditions.

With the protection of the ice sheet(from Jupiter's gama rays), possibly geo-thermal vents on its ocean floor, does anybody think we will find life in the oceans of Europa?

If so, complex or simple?

If the energy is low, which I suspect it is, then I suspect that complex life forms may not have had enough time to evolve. It might depend on what you consider complex though.

Cosmic radiation is considered harmful by us Earthlings, but I wonder if it could be a possible energy source on a place like Europa. I wonder if there could be other possible energy sources too.
 
I think simple life forms are always a possibility if a hospitable environment exists. I doubt that complex [mulitcellar] life forms have much of a chance. Of course this presupposes carbon based life forms, but, until evidence of non-carbon based life is discovered, I think it is a reasonable assumption.
 
Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
