I sometimes have trouble sleeping while thinking of the unspeakable horrors that must lurk in the deep oceans of Europa, Garnymede and Enceladus. Any life there has had billions of years to evolve so we can expect to find things far worse than megalodons and giant squid.

A fire, you need a lot of ingredients and heat... underneath our own ice sheets we see some life but it’s all centered where there is heat... is there enough heat to have fostered life there? My guess is 85% no life there, but still worth investigating.

[Anonymous No.15549105]

>>15548976
There's plenty of heat due to tidal flexing caused by Jupiter and decay of radioactive elements in Europa's core. If there wasn't a heat source there wouldn't be a huge subsurface ocean of liquid water.

Fear of large bodies of water is an evolutionary survival trait that was passed down to humans. Those early mammals that didn't have this fear wandered too close to the river/sea edge and got dragged in by the hungry predators lying in wait.

Reminder that Europa's ocean likely contains sufficient molecular oxygen to sustain animal life because oxygen produced on the surface by solar bombardment will eventually make its way down to the ocean as the surface ice is recycled. Europa has almost certainly evolved squid and octopus-like lifeforms by now.

Something on Europa is producing enough heat to maintain the 60 mile deep ocean. Tidal forces can produce a shitload of heat in a small nearby moon. Look at all the volcanic activity on Io which is the next closest moon to Jupiter.

I don't think there are any aliens close enough for us to ever detect or interact with in any way. The Fermi paradox is just too big of a hurdle and when people on here try to blow it off the arguments are usually very bad. I suspect that abiogenesis is far, far more unlikely than people tend to assume and that the odds of life starting even on an earth-like planet are astronomically low, and that it was only by immensely improbable freak chance followed by freak chance that life came about on Earth at all. So I don't think there's anything there.

Also shut the fuck up about squid and octopi you freaks. Stop expecting alien life to look like earth life when the earth life looks "alien" to your ape brain. Stop overrating their intelligence, they aren't that smart. And stop being so creatively bankrupt that you can only imagine aliens as earth-like creatures. Instead of basing aliens off of animals like unimaginative retards, base them off inanimate objects like toothpaste caps and eyedroppers.

[Anonymous No.15554777]

>>15553317
Personally I don't think abiogenesis is that big a filter in the Fermi paradox. Life, as fas as we can tell, turned up within half a billion years of Earth forming, probably not long after conditions were stable enough for it to viably exist. Complexity is the real blocker. Multi-cellular life took a good few billion years to get started, and anything more interesting than a blob only showed up in the last half a billion years or so. Some kind of intelligent, tool-using creature that could push into space like us probably depends on dozens of factors that almost never happen together (A big moon with tides to help stuff leave the ocean, the right amount of water so that there's a nice balance between land and sea, tectonic activity to stop everything being worn down into nothing, but not so much that you end up with global resurfacing events like Venus, a magnetic field to protect complex things on the surface, enough oxygen to allow fire without there being so much that a single spark will burn down everything, huge stores of easy fuel for industrializing, etc.)
