A fringe theory of panspermia suggests that alien life may be hitching rides on meteors, potentially colonizing new planets. This hypothesis provides a framework for scientists to narrow their search for extra-terrestrial existence. Researchers propose that if life spreads via meteors, it could alter atmospheric conditions, providing clues to its presence. However, identifying these life forms remains challenging, as scientists are unsure what specific characteristics to look for.
Results for: Panspermia
According to a new fringe theory, alien life may be traveling through space on meteors and colonizing other planets in a process known as panspermia. By riding on celestial bodies, extraterrestrial life could spread across the galaxy, modifying the environments of planets it encounters to resemble its own home planet. This concept suggests that life may not originate on a single planet but could have arisen on multiple exoplanets throughout the universe.
