Is Oxygen-Based Life Possible in Other Galaxies?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the possibility of oxygen-based life existing in other galaxies, with the assertion that Earth is the only planet with life deemed unsupported. Participants express skepticism about the existence of life forms that might utilize gases other than oxygen. The conversation highlights the limitations of human knowledge regarding extraterrestrial life. Ultimately, the thread emphasizes that personal speculation and unverified claims are not permitted in the forum. The discussion concludes with a reminder that the topic remains open to scientific inquiry, but unsupported statements will not be tolerated.

There is only one planet (Earth)have life in the universe.But this is invented by human; the son of Earth! Is any other life live away from the solarsystem? I don’t know!…..oureyes&ears reach not so much.

We are the most advanced biota among others in the earth. And we take oxygen as the life air. But I have a doubt ,is in any other biota take other gases instead of oxygen in any other galaxies? Or is a biota has such a body structure. Can we say ‘No’

This is a completely unsupportable personal theory and as such it is not allowed here on PF.

We don't know if there are any but there probably are and we certainly cannot say there are not, which is why your first statement above is unsupportable.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Can the signal WOW be explained by the maser effect?'

This hypothesis of scientists about the origin of the mysterious signal WOW seems plausible only on a superficial examination. In fact, such a strong coherent radiation requires a powerful initiating factor, and the hydrogen atoms in the cloud themselves must be in an overexcited state in order to respond instantly. If the density of the initiating radiation is insufficient, then the atoms of the cloud will not receive it at once, some will receive it earlier, and some later. But then there...
