    I agree that carbon/water based lifeforms are the most plausible/numerous to exist, yet I would also love and be fascinated by aliens that are like cybertronians/transformers, “natural” robots that still have recognizable biological functions, and meet the criteria of being alive and sentient. Like a silicon-based lifeform that drinks, I don’t know, argon or ammonia.

    I once read a pretty excellent scientific paper, a thought experiment, about an alien lifeform that could possibly live inside stars, and withstand the extreme pressures and heat, and would gain nutrients from different areas of the star, based on the thermal gradients/chemicals, almost like space-dragons.

    If you ask me, I really fucking hope that there are aliens out there like the Quarians and Asari (Turians are my favorite) but also extremely weird lifeforms and worlds that defy imagination and understanding.

    Like (even though it’s incredibly unlikely) a planet-sized singular organism that thrives off of limited mobility.

    Or even worlds where, through some exotic combination of elements and materials, combined with the weather/atmosphere and extremely strange chemical and physical reactions, basically defies the laws of physics of what should be possible.

      I have nagging feeling that the universe, once we get over the shiny bling of the stars, will be a really boring place lol

      At least counting life, i still cant get over the info there’s planet where diamonds rain at supersonic speeds, that’s super bling.

        Yeah, space is fucking majestic, horrifying, awe-inducing, scary, and gorgeous.
