Stephen Hawking's Question

,
yes indeed energy is essential. It will be more than very interesting to see if there is/or has been/ life on other planets. Mars is the prime target but many of the frozen ice moons of Jupiter and Saturn have liquid oceans under a crust of ice. Deep, deep, down in their abysses there may be 'smokers. and who knows? “Life Jim, but not as we know it!”
First off, I would like to thank you for your quick reply to me. You mentioned finding life on Mars, but not like us. I agree completely with that last part, whether we find it on Mars, or not. I have a short manuscript on this site titled Chemical Analysis II. The hypothesis stated, offers that our own lives may not have originated from life as we know it. Don’t worry, I mention nothing of aliens or deities. I would propose that life as we know it, only requires water, as the energy source that produced life as we know it, on Earth, developed a necessary symbiotic relationship between the energy source and the vast ocean. Give me some feedback on it, would ya?
I also have a controversial view about society, I’ve proposed in a manuscript titled A Kink in the Armor. It may not be your cup of tea, but I would nevertheless be interested in anything you have to say about the topic.

Hi I'm Ockham, yes indeed energy is essential. It will be more than very interesting to see if there is/or has been/ life on other planets.
