Oh no, I totally get that. Im just not good at explaining and very good at mashing ideas together without explaining the journey from A to B.GooberTheHat wrote:But we have to search for what we know might exist. It's not that scientists are dismissing non goldilocks planets as having life, but they have no frame of reference so have no idea what to look for. Earth is the only planet in the universe that has life on it, as far as we know, so it makes sense that in order to find extraterrestrial life we should concentrate on planets like ours. Otherwise what are we looking for? You can't search for something if you have no idea what it is, what it looks like, what requirements it has for survival etc.superflyninja wrote:I really need to work on posting clearly and having my posts make sense.
