Can Venus host lifeforms?

"Could microbial life be drifting in the clouds of Venus? With unexplained signs of phosphine and ammonia scientists are developing a bold new space mission to find out." ScitechDaily, Unexplained Gases on Venus: Could They Be the Sign of Alien Life?)

Phosphine in Venus' atmosphere still remains. Researchers found phosphine and ammonia in that planet’s atmosphere. That causes the possibility that there can be lifeforms on Venus’ clouds. That planet’s atmosphere is far different from Earth's. It’s mainly carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. 

That means that the atmosphere is very flat. It turns denser differently from Earth. The density rises lower and faster than Earth's atmosphere. If there are some kind of lifeforms, that means there can be some kind of diatoms or other algae or bacteria that can hover. Using their oxygen bubbles. Carbon dioxide is heavier than nitrogen and oxygen. So, if we fill a bag using air, that bag rises to Venus’s atmosphere. 

In some SciFi novels, astronauts rise to their Venus platforms by filling the bags using air, and that bag raises them to the Venus highlands. That causes an idea that in some planet’s atmosphere could hover medusa-type lifeforms that can create oxygen in their cells. Then those “medusas” can hover in that planet’s atmosphere. Originally, astronomer Carl Sagan introduced the idea of “living balls” that could hide in Jupiter or Saturn’s atmospheres. 

So the high pressure of the Venus surface denies water boiling. And one of the models of lifeforms that can survive in extreme conditions is found near hydrothermal vents deep under the ocean surface. 

Supercritical water that doesn’t boil at extremely high temperatures keeps worms, bacteria, and shrimp alive near hydrothermal vents. Hydrothermal vents, called “black smokers,” maintain ecosystems at the depths of the oceans. 

"Black smoker in the Atlantic Ocean" (Wikipedia, Hydrothermal vent)

The reality is that there are always people who say that lifeforms on planets like Venus are impossible because of their temperature and pressure. Those arguments cause discussions because high pressure increases the water's boiling point. The high pressure causes a situation where there could be lifeforms near black smokers, or officially, hydrothermal vents. Water pressure near those hydrothermal vents that are over 3000 meters below the surface is enormous. That pressure forms supercritical water near those hydrothermal vents.

There are bacteria and some worms near those extremely hot points. Those bacteria, worms, and shrimps can stay alive because of the supercritical water. Because water doesn’t form bubbles, those organisms that require enzyme and protein synthesis in that environment can stay alive. If those same organisms rise to normal air pressure and to that temperature, they will die immediately. 

Because of the boiling water, maybe those things can give hints about the lifeforms that can survive on extreme planets. And then we must consider that those lifeforms are fully adapted to their environment, which can be deadly to us. We and no lifeform that lives on drylands can survive near hydrothermal vents. But those lifeforms cannot survive on Earth either.

Trees communicate before the eclipse.

"Spruce trees can sense and prepare for solar eclipses, aligning their bioelectric activity like a symphony. Older trees appear to lead the process, acting as wise sentinels of the forest.

*************************************************

Spruce trees don’t just react to solar eclipses—they anticipate them, synchronizing their bioelectrical signals hours in advance in a display of forest-wide coordination.

This discovery reveals a level of intelligence and communication in trees that rivals animal behavior. Remarkably, older trees lead the charge, hinting at environmental memory being passed down through the forest.

A groundbreaking international study has found that spruce trees not only respond to a solar eclipse but also anticipate it by synchronizing their bioelectrical signals hours in advance, creating a coordinated response across the forest.

Published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, the study shows that older trees display a stronger early reaction, suggesting they hold decades of environmental memory and may play a role in signaling younger trees about upcoming events.

These findings add to growing evidence that plants are active, communicative members of their ecosystems, capable of complex and coordinated behaviors similar to those observed in animal groups.

*************************************************

We have all seen solar eclipses. Before that event nature seems to turn silent. And maybe that thing is not just a feeling.  International researchers noticed that spruce trees communicate with each other before an eclipse. Or, they synchronize their electric behavior before that event. 

Plant intelligence is one of the least researched things in the world. We know that trees and vegetables somehow communicate with each other. When we look at things like flowers, the shape is similar to radio telescopes. And fungus´', or mushroom's shape is similar to the Tesla coil. And we can imagine that those things can send some kind of impulse to each other. We can notice that some flowers like moonwort and other composite flowers have structures in their flowers that seem like axons. 

During international research, they noticed a mysterious electric communication between spruce trees before the solar eclipse. And that thing causes questions about plant intelligence. That is the sign of animal-like behavior. And that kind of communication can help to predict things like earthquakes, volcano eruptions, and other things that can damage them. If the communication is limited to dangerous things. Volcano eruptions are dangerous for those trees. But what do those trees make when they get signals that some volcano is erupting? 

But the question is, how complicated is that communication? If trees send information about the danger. That comes from the ground, what else can they communicate? What else do those trees tell each other? The fact is that nobody communicates for nothing. Do trees share information about thunderstorms and how complicated and accurate could that communication be? 

*********************************************************

“By applying advanced analytical methods—including complexity measures and quantum field theory—we have uncovered a deeper, previously unrecognized dynamic synchronization not based on matter exchanges among trees,” said Professor Chiolerio.

“We now see the forest not as a mere collection of individuals, but as an orchestra of phase-correlated plants.”

"The Gaia hypothesis, also known as the Gaia theory, Gaia paradigm, or the Gaia principle, proposes that living organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a synergistic and self-regulating complex system that helps to maintain and perpetuate the conditions for life on the planet." (Wikipedia, Gaia hypothesis)

The bioelectric phenomenon in the trees and vegetables is one of the things that allows the trees to have similar processes as our neurons have. Things like pollen can also act as neurotransmitters. That transports information between trees. 

Pollen transports genetic data that allows trees or plants to make the seedlings. But the DNA could also transport other information between individuals. The DNA controls all actions in the cells. The DNA can also control cells to give electric impulses to neurons.

This is one of the most interesting and, at the same time, mysterious things in the world. And that is one of the things. That we should research more. The DNA molecule and cell that gives electric or bioluminescence impulses can act as the data transporter between computers. That technology also allows us to transport memories to the neurons in the case of neural damage.
