| i dont think life can be whiped out that easily. not at all. there are plenty of organisms surviving under all types of very extreme conditions. life will always find a way to metabolize some form of matter no matter what we do to it. theve found organisms in thermal vents on space ships hulls that took the bacteria to space and back. you can get organisms to grow in media that the sole source of carbon is a pollutant like dioxin or PCB's. i think the only thing that might really do life in is if the sun goes and thats gonna be a few billion years so we got time. and even then who knows what type of super stable endospore that is capable of intergalatic travel will have evolved who knows. lifes pretty versatile. as far as humans go we are far more complex then many forms of bacteria and the like, which provides us with a disadvantage of required a broader range of nutrition, but it always gives us the advantage of being able to think which gives us a good chance at least some of us a good chance at surviving even something like a nuclear war. |
