I don't know a whole lot about biology and even I recognize that this is a ginormous deal. I lol'd at "I don't know about you but I've not been so excited about a bacteria since my STD tests came back clean." |

*whistles* That is really huge alright. Adna speaks the truth, this changes everything. All the theories about life not being at all like ours to the point where we don't even realise we're looking at? They just gained a lot of validity. Interesting times, ladies and gents, interesting times. |

This shows how little we really know about the universe and our very planet... We assume too much. |

But it's not just biology, this affects a huge range of sciences. And it really changes one of the fundamental notions we had of the universe. So much for the little understanding of the universe we thought we had. So much for CHON ;_; |

I'm just wondering what NASA was actually doing over at that poisonous lake. And "new lifeform" is a bit misleading, something like "previously unknown lifeform" sure would make a lot more sense. |

lolsemantics Shaj So I showed this to my roommate and now his facebook status is "why is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration finding new life forms in lakes in California? If the government is funding an alien biology discovery project, they should change the name of NASA, honestly.... just so people know what their taxes are really doing." XFD what a joke but he's only seventeen so I'll forgive him |

HUGE. A lot of people and writers have toyed with the idea that life could have some other basis, such as the aforementioned silicon based life in Star-Trek. While as a discovery it's SHATTERING of our perceptions, I'm rather shocked that none of these scientists had ever taken the idea seriously until it was proven. Sidenote: Hilarious that the first frame of reference for a NASA geobiologist is an obscure Star Trek episode (to me all of Star Trek is obscure) |

ha I love the reporter But yeah, toying with this idea is one thing, knowing it's real something completely else. So awesome. |

I've actually considered the possibility of life that works differently from what we know for awhile. It would, after all, potentially explain why we haven't found anything yet... We're looking in the wrong places. And then this happens. Time to expand the search, boys! As with Bliss, I'm a little surprised mainstream science didn't give this sort of thinking any validity previously. But then, science is hardly known for accepting the mere possibility of things that end up being true. Example: Plate Tectonics. As for showing up in textbooks, there's a lot of other stuff that's going to be showing up as well. Our understanding of space becomes more and more outdated each month, and many other sciences are rapidly advancing. But yes, this is big enough (if you never considered it possible before, that is) that it likely will be a new addition. |
