Accuracy increases knowledge
Once upon a time in Greece life was simply and philosophers introduced fundamental ideas. The elements that formed nature were fire, earth (land) air, and water. Those things were controlling everything, and human nature also had those elements. But then somebody asked "what were things" what formed those elements? When we are observing things more carefully we are thinking that the higher accuracy brings more details in front of our eyes, but that doesn't remove the thing, that in some cases Greek philosophers were right.
Let's say that there must be the particle in the universe, what we cannot share smaller bites. And that means that principally the Greek philosophers were true when they were talking about "Atomos" the final particle, which forms every other particle.
Then those wise men said that there should be "Atomos" the smallest possible particle, which cannot turn to smaller bites. And we are still looking at that mysterious particle. When accuracy increases, we can find more and more details from some things, and then we are facing one of the most incredible things in the world. This question is philosophical, and it's conducted from the idea, that some cosmic structures are looking like our nervous system.
When we are looking at those gigantic networks, we might ask is the universe itself intelligent? Maybe somebody would laugh at those ideas, but then we must realize, that the intelligence doesn't mean the "fast thinking". That means that the thinking process of that giant system takes billions of years. And this means that even if the universe has some kind of intelligence, that intelligence doesn't concern us anyway. We can ever communicate with that thing because we cannot form so much energy, that the giant organism would detect that transmitting.
Bur we cannot know is universe intelligent or not. So this means that this kind of idea is only theories. And this is the problem with many things, what we are thinking about science. Many of those theories, what were made during history are still waiting for proof. And when somebody says that there could not live even bacteria at the surface of the planets of red dwarfs, sometimes people should ask, how many times have you visited on those planets?
And how we can define term life? Would everything, what makes descendants some kind of living organism? And if we are thinking that only the ability to make descendants is enough for life form, we can think that also robot factories are living organisms, because they are making things independently.
At this point, we are facing the thing, that every single planet, where is living organisms should be copies of the Earth. The other planets could have other life forms, which are fully adapted in the environment, where they are living. But sometimes, even if we are finding the planet, what is precisely like Earth, we forget that the planet could be very hostile. There is possible, that there are powerful winds on the atmosphere of that planet, which heats the surface extremely hot.
And the lifeforms of that planet could be like some bacteria, what are hovering on its stormy atmosphere. That kind of bacteria could be similar, what is living near "black smokers" under the sea. But the surface of the planet could be even melted because of the friction of the extreme powerful wind. Or those lifeforms could live under the surface of the water, which covers the entire planet. But the powerful wind would make it impossible to stay on the surface.
The problem with water covered planets is that the friction on the surface of that planet is so low. That makes stripes to the atmosphere of those planets like to the atmospheres of gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. The edges of the climate zones, which are causing the stripes to the atmosphere of the planet would be extremely hot. The friction between the air layers causes that the temperature of the atmosphere is very high, which makes it impossible to be at the surface of it.
Or maybe the strong radiation causes that live in dry areas of some planets is impossible. That kind of situation could be forming if the planet is near the black hole of the center of the Galaxy. That kind of case would cause the X- or gamma-rays would burn the surface of the planet, and the lifeforms would stay under the water for surviving that extremely powerful radiation.
