Alien life may not be carbon-based, new study suggests::Self-sustaining chemical reactions that could support biology radically different from life as we know it might exist on many different planets, a new study finds.

You can go one step further: life is just an area of low entropy keeping itself like that by increasing the entropy of its environment.
We poop out randomness to keep ourselves not random.
The purpose of life is to seek out and dissipate energy gradients.
Due to this fact, I strongly believe that the ultimate purpose of intelligent life must be to find a way to reverse entropy, before there are no more energy gradients to dissipate.
Very interesting take, I love it
I’ve never heard that theory described so succinctly.
The first or the second? Cause I’ve been working on the first for years, but the second came to me in 5 seconds, so I hope it’s the first :D
The second. Sorry.
Haha, all good!
