We don't know the origin of life,the conditions necessary for life or how radically different the life forms(if any) may be. The universe is a big place.
agreed! we don't even have a complete definition on what "life" is. think about it - the universe does not have 1 of anything. We have multiple planets, multiple solar systems, we have multiple of X and even the string theorists believe we have multiple universes - so it follows that we should (ideally) have 1 single exhibition of life. My theory has always been - we know only one type of life. A carbon based life possible made possible by liquid water thriving on the goldilocks zone of our solar system. What is life really? rather than the most complex manifestation of chemistry. If there could be some form of complex replicating molecule similar to DNA/RNA made primarily out of nitrogen (instead of carbon) that would thrive in seas of liquid nitrogen - why not consider that 'life'? But I guess then we could have life on mercury - right... made out of liquid zinc or lead! or even some other thing surviving in the green house gas affected planet that is venus. So... yeah - you are right... there could be "life" but not our type of "life"
