What is a life form?
How exactly a life started on earth? Was it brought from outer space?
Are there any life forms there out of earth?
Can a life form be based not on protein but on some other chemicals?
How exactly the very first life form of the universe was created?
Can digital things be life forms?
Can ideas and concepts be life forms? Can they exists without a medium? If so, where exactly are they stored?
Can we create living things?

Those questions are keeping me up at night

    We could be entirely simulated, and the outside "real" world could (and likely would) be entirely alien, as in a completely different reality with vastly different rules, geometry, etc.

    A life form is something that eats somethings and sometimes fricks other somethings in order to create new somethings.

    @Demolishun can we create a cell from scratch?

    @theuser nah, to declare something as living, it has to produce crap, litterally.

    These kinds of questions teach you to be humble and comfortable with saying "I don't know".

    Though ideas and concepts are abstract, and thus don't exist without a medium, be it our brain, stone tablets, paper, etc.

    @VaderNT can an abstract thing be it’s own medium?

    > I often wonder if we're not alien to this planet

    We're genetically too similar to other species. Alien DNA might not even be composed of C, G, A and T like ours.

    > the ability to pass down knowledge around it have had an exponential affect that no other species ever acquired

    That and the fact we're great tool builders. The other apes fling rocks, we fling space stations. 🙂
