The life on Pluto

The life on Pluto

Pluto is an icy and small dwarf planet, which might have primitive lifeforms. Those lifeforms would live conditions, where is no sunshine, and the temperature is near zero kelvin degrees, which means that the lifeform must be far away from the lifeforms of Earth. But are those suspected lifeforms so different than we think or want to think? Those lifeforms, what we might meet in the absolute cold and dark worlds might use volcanic temperature for creating energy for their metabolism.

And an idea for those lifeforms has been given the bacteria and worms, what are living near the black smokers on the bottom of the Ocean. In those conditions, the lifeforms don't have sunlight for the photosynthesis, and the thing, what gives energy for their chemical reactions comes from the volcanic Geysir at the deep underwater, where is either free oxygen on the water.

The organisms that are found from those "black smokers" are an example for cases, where lifeform doesn't need free oxygen for living. Bacteria, what lives deep undersea are different than other organisms because the oxygen is poison for those organisms, what synthesizing the oxygen from the chemical combinations of sulfur or other molecules, what involve oxygen. There is also higher lifeforms like worms near those black smokers, and that thing has brought a new type of theories of the life in Universe in the mid of cosmologists.

That means that the primitive lifeforms can exist even the asteroids like Ceres, and those archeon bacteria can live in the ice of those asteroids, and the metabolism of those organisms is very slow, what means that they might be hard to detect. That kind of things might not seem important, but if there are some lifeforms on the Universe, the bacteria could be more dangerous than intelligent lifeforms. If we would face intelligent lifeform, we could at least try to discuss with that organism, but the bacteria what would come from the space inside some ice bite would be an organism, what only eats.

And we cannot communicate with those bacteria, what can infect people or vegetables, and there are theories that some of those bacteria would be like the silicon alga, and they could make the core, what protects them against cosmic radiation. So that means that those bacteria could have sleep form, what could live almost forever. The risk is that those hypothetical bacteria might seem a little bit like anthrax bacteria, which can create the germ, which can be dangerous after a very long time.

That ability to cut their metabolism makes the natural bacteria like anthrax very dangerous because those bacteria can wake up after a long time, and start the epidemic. It doesn't make impossible that some bacteria could come from somewhere at Universe during history because we don't at least officially have DNA molecules from another planet.

The thing is that the spectrometers can see amino acid, or actually, they see the elements, what can form the amino acids. And if we want to make sure, that there is DNA on some planet, we must send a probe to that world, and then search the cells, what can be under kilometers bold ice below the surface.
