Super-Earth Free Roaming Living Planets Could Support Smaller Lifeforms
Star Tau Ceti is only 12 light years away, and has a 4.3 earth mass "superearth" planet in the habitable zone for life. Gilster says "we will be able to make a spectroscopic analysis of the atmospheres of the five planets." "If we discover a biosignature indicating life is present, this will clearly make such a planet a priority for any future probes, possible in the next two decades."
The first rogue planet discovered by infrared telescope is only 100 light years away, and lacks a parent star. Scientists believe it might be a brown dwarf or "failed star" that lacks fusion, blurring the distinction between planets and stars. They believe that many more rogue planets exist and can be found. If so, freely wandering rogue planets very likely proliferate in the interstellar medium of galaxies. Intelligent life can evolve on a freely wandering roaming rogue planet without a star, because liquid metals like magnesium oxide are in a phase change or superstate where a strong magnetic field can shelter the planet, much like our sun protects earth from deadly radiation with its magnetic field. Alien surface crawlers might thrive where liquid nutrients rise and fill lakes suppling their drinking needs.An actual living super-earth free roaming rogue planet sized object could evolve, primarily composed of superstate liquids, and supporting smaller lifeforms inside and on its surface.
liquid metallic-silica based life on a super-earth planet
It seems foolish to presume that life must come into existence and evolve on a non-living planet. Symbiotic activity is necessary for a complex life form to exist, with innumerable smaller living things inside and upon it. Just as there are plants and animals, and many smaller cells composing a larger organism, so too would life forms more readily evolve, perhaps like symbiotic parasites on an entire living planet. Supercritical liquid metals besides magnesium oxide, ooze inside super-earth planets. Common rocky silicate minerals become liquids under high temperature and pressure, including quartz, silica or SiO2, and perovskite or magnesium silicate. About 200 or 1/4 of over 800 alien exoplanets discovered so far are super-earths. Unimaginably new thinking has become necessary to understand super-earth planets. Different temperature and pressure conditions, and amounts of metallic elements, would lead to a rich astrochemistry for super-earth planets that can support extremely diverse types of life. Silicon based life should thrive in many super-earth conditions, far better than on Venus.
Super-earths, rogue planets, and brown dwarf stars have supercritical states, and are self-similar size invariant objects similar to galaxies having magnetic fields.
Phase changes of matter are fractal boundaries, endpoints or cutoffs to fractal organization. Blood crystals analog the coastline on earth, and the earth is often referred to as a "living planet."
The largest living organism on earth is not the whale, but a honey mustard fungus monster growing in Oregon, that is 1,500 acres in size, and 3 feet deep beneath the surface. The only way to detect this huge earth life form is by seeing huge honey mushrooms growing. Such a life form could conceivably take over the entire surface of a planet, which evolves into a living planet by symbiosis.
Very interesting; this concept of life without a sun but with a magnetic field. Before science fell in love with gas sun they believed that the suns were magnetic.
Don´t ever stop the good work!I´ve been doing some research these Christmas holidays and I found this:http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/tierra_hueca/esp_tierra_hueca_9.htm Is it possible that Earth interior is a gradient to a lesser density and temperature deep down? Same with any cosmic body? In a purely gravitational cosmos this is untenable. Perhaps there´s a lot of superfluid hydrogen, metallic superstates, etc rather than "boring" solid iron-nickel.
