| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous. Join our community today! |

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7893414.stm I found this interesting. This scientist, Professor Paul Davies, has suggested that life different from what we know it may exist right here on Earth. He claims that it is possible that life has evolved on Earth more than once and that several kinds of life (not just carbon-water based) may exist in parallel "Shadow Biospheres". He gives many examples; silicon instead of carbon, arsenic instead of phosphorous. And we would never know they exist because we don't know what we're looking for or where to find it; underwater vents, bubbling pools of natural acid, or any other place life is "impossible". |

We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar. "The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming Tree That Owns Itself

I read about this in a copy of New Scientist. We might never know that there is completely independent life on earth. |

Yeah, I posted a thread about this a while back. Very intriguing, and what a great premise for a sci fi novel! |

This just asks for a story of tentacle amnonia based lifeforms that are obsessed in killing human beings. And dogs |
