[escepticos] Manyana la NASA anuncia un descubrimiento en astrobiologia

[Paco Gaspar]

Hombre, eso es todo, eso es todo, tampoco. Si se demuestra que el arsénico
puede albergar vida, significa que allí donde haya arsénico puede haber
vida, lo que amplía las probabilidades de que haya vida ahí afuera.

En todo caso, sí tienes razón en una cosa: eso es todo, porque, aunque no
tengamos evidencias científicas, parece bastante difícil que no haya más
vida que la de la Tierra en el Universo, teniendo en cuenta la inmensa
cantidad de posibilidades que hay de posibles planetas parecidos a la
Tierra, y la cabezonería que muestra la vida por abrirse camino y
mantenerse.
