| 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!

I found this video on Youtube when searching for Snaiad. How plausible do you think this is? |

The asteroid volcanism could be if the asteroid orbits VERY close to the star, what with tidal heating. However, it would have to be a few hundred kilometres across. Oxygen would have to be generated, AND RETAINED. This is the hard part. The jets look like they come from carbon combustion, so catbon and oxygen are reacting in the asteroid. Temperatures of around 450 degrees C, i think. Oxygen is constantly being lost, so the ecosystem could only last a few million years- not long enough for multicellulars. |

Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea. "It is the old wound my king. It has never healed." | |

Are you plausible?

I agree with colddigger. This seems highly reminiscent of the Zerg out of Starcraft, and I wouldn't be surprised if some sort of combat story comes up around it. "Terran explorers ravaged by insectocytes. Retaliatory mission planned." As far as plausibility goes, the gaia theory is explicitly referenced, and such a super-organism may be likely within such a context, so I'm not going to throw out the idea immediately. The idea of life on an asteroid, however, strains plausibility. If there were life on an asteroid, it would probably not be able to develop beyond unicellular life, and would be scraping for survival as it is. |

But only those worm-like creatures were actually part of the asteroid, I think. |

The fact it needs appendages defeats me. Surely it could absorb through the cracks? |

If the planet or asteroid itself was alive there would be no reason to forage materials since it's all a part of it already. It would just be eating itself... |

Maybe the organic parts need inorganic parts to survive? Or the organic parts are 1 sex organ and the inorganic parts the other sex organ (making the asteroid a hermaphrodite) and it's just pollinating itself. Or maybe the video was not though through enough. |

So why did they say it was the ESA? Why not the UKSA? (Woohoo! We have a space agency!) Can you tell us why it is an asteroid? |
