Why is water considered essential for life on other planets?
There may be a good scientific reason for this, but why is it impossible for life to develop on another planet based on anything other than carbon? For example, surely it would be possible to have a Tungsten based life form? Or, from an undiscovered element? Why do scientists say they can only be life on Mars if water once existed?✅ Answers ? Best Answer The major reason is because ALL life on earth (and therefore all life we know of) is absolutely dependent on water. While it is obviously theoretically possible for life to be non-water based, such life would have characteristics we cannot even begin to guess at, so we might not even recognise it if we were looking at it. So it is simplest to assume all life is water-based, and to base our searches off that. Another reason is because it is also a fairly safe assumption that all life is also carbon-based. Carbon chemistry is what provides the amazing complexity of organic compounds: it forms long-chain molecules, it can be charged (+ or -), it can be hydrophobic or hydrophilic, etc. All this complexity is an absolute requirement for the huge number of different molecules Read more
