Gizmodo, an American online publication dedicated to engineering projects, technology, science and science fiction, asked astrobiologists about what aliens might look like. The experts' answers turned out to be very interesting.
“Sharks and dolphins have similar body shapes, although they are distantly related, some of which are fish and others are mammals. We shouldn't be surprised to see a similar convergence of body shape when we face life in other worlds,”says Douglas Vacoh, President of the METI (Messaging to Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) International program.
Duplication of Homo sapiens should not be expected, he said, as we seek life beyond Earth. The expert did not rule out that the multicellular inhabitants of the subsurface oceans of the satellites of the gas giants (primarily Europe and Enceladus) may resemble giant terrestrial tardigrades.
Astrobiologist from NASA Rocco Manicelli disagrees with him, who stated that multicellular life is most likely unlikely to exist on Enceladus.
The chief astronomer of the SETI Institute (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) Seth Shostak believes that insects are visually the "most alien" life forms on Earth.
At the same time, astronomer Caitlin Arena from the University of Arkansas (USA) believes that alien life may not be based on carbon, like earthly life. In particular, sulfur can be the main chemical element for it.
We also asked the hereditary sorceress Irina for an opinion on this issue from the Anomalous News expert. Here's what she replied: “You can be sure that everything that you can imagine, any life form, exists in this Universe. In the demonic worlds of suffering, evil bloodthirsty creatures live, in the "heavenly" worlds one can meet angel-like creatures, the kindness and goodness of which we can hardly imagine. Well, we on Earth - the "intermediate" planet - are not demons or angels, just people. But how a person will live this life here depends on which of the worlds his soul will incarnate later …”.
