I totally get your rundown and am in awe of Psyrals complete, and quite detailed, answers to some of the points attempted with this theory, but what you are saying is when we scour the universe looking for life we should look for the Goldie locks zone, liquid water and a moon similar in size to ours because it balances out the planet perfectly giving life a high probability?

Those three things to me would fall under the “to good to be natural” concept and would make me think that a helping hand played a roll in life’s development here. Yes, when they say “Known Universe” it’s a very tiny slice that we have been able to study, but, even that small portion contains billions of stars with multiple planets each and still, no moon similar to ours. So out of all of these insane theories, I tend to give this one a small amount of merit based on this.

Recently, they think we have either a companion star (Red Dwarf) or a long lost planet because of the gravitational Nibaru jostling asteroids around in our outer belt, I forget the name. The theory goes that every major extinction level event on earth happened within the same amount of years and what ever is coming out of this strange orbit around the sun causes it, any thoughts?  

So using that logic, which is that we physically can’t study it, but we have studied that laws of physics and chemistry can change at will in space, it is not that ridiculous to think the Goldielocks theory is completely irrelevant.  It’s like the one in a trillion chance that the conditions exist for that one way for life, but what if we should really be thinking about the other 999.999.999.999 ways that life could be formed and sustained using rules that we’re not aware of?

All very valid points, but, if we really have no understanding on how life is created here how can we look for alternative versions of it elsewhere?

I think humanity seeks out conditions similar to those here, moon, Goldie locks zone..ect, because it is our constant and we are trying to re create that constant by finding the same variables out there. 

If we would find life on Titan, our lack of knowledge on how life is created is switched with the variables that we know leads to that absolute, so we would be looking for those exact same conditions. Its the human perspective. 

The companion star we allegedly have has been dubbed, Nemesis, or if its a planet, its Nibiru. 

I love this kind of stuff, thanks for the great conversation y’all.

We can’t.  That’s what I’m getting at.  I mean that if we somehow find it elsewhere in our solar system, then ok.  But if we don’t, that doesn’t prove anything in the grand scheme of things.  

Ah, I see now. Maybe one day we will find out the universe itself is its own entity and part of something else and we are just one egg in an infinite grand Russian nest doll, lol
