What do you think? If this is true, it could explain a good deal about the origins of life on this planet and, I think, the sudden arrivals of new diseases. Very interesting article!

Fascinating stuff...
Particularly their ability to reproduce in such high temperatures.
It does make you think of what can be accomplished without the constraints of life on THIS planet... here we are assuming that DNA is necessary for life, and along comes rain containing an organic life form that can tolerate extreme hot and cold beyond our wildest imagine AND reproduce itself without DNA.
Fox says the worlds flat and now cnn says there are aliens??? What's next?
Makes me think of that line from Jurassic Park..."Life finds a way"...
I totally believe that life has to exist out there somewhere, I mean look how much bio-diversity we have on this small mud ball we call Earth. I've heard speculation about life being based on something other than carbon.
If this is proven to be true or likely to be true, it could be up there with discovering electricity or DNA. But I can see it being sluffed off or attacked viciously as well.
I'm going to pass judgement on it for now, a lot scientific discoveries that seem to hold a lot of promises end up falling flat but this could be interesting! I'm gonna keep my eye out for more information about this!
fascinating!! i'd love to study in that lab with them. this could open so many doors. perhaps its a virus the aliens sent, or even a test...
dodo dodo dodo dodo doood dooo doooo!
Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you read... (or is it the other way around?) :P
For science fiction that echoes this story, check out "The Andromeda Strain."
For life surviving in extreme conditions right here, check out "thermophylic." There are bacteria and tube worms that live on the ocean floor near geothermic vents that can exist in water that is over boiling temperature.
Aaahhhhhh!!!! Aliens!!! Run For Your Liivveess!!!
:)
I'm alien from the waist down.
