Can the planets of red and brown dwarfs maintain lifeforms?


 



Can the planets of red and brown dwarfs maintain lifeforms?


This is one of the most interesting questions in the history of science, and one of the answers is that the life form, what might be on those planets would be formed in there and they would be adapted to the conditions of the surface of those planets. Red dwarfs are every time so-called flare stars, and there are massive eruptions, what would burn the surface of the planets, what is at the habitable zone. 


But the thing is that there is a possibility that the lifeforms on those planets are different than the lifeforms on our planet. One of the possibilities is the lifeforms are a little bit like some worms, which are pulling their tentacles in when the eruption of the star starts. Or another version would be the alga-type lifeform, what cells would split so fast that the flare of the star would not burn them all. 


In some simulations, the lifeforms would not be active most of the time. That means that the planet would be away from the habitable zone, and when the flare eruption happens the lifeforms would be active a couple of hours, and then go back to hypothermic sleep until the next eruption will start. That kind of lifeform could be some kind of diatoms or bacterial alga. 


The thing is that the term "lifeforms" are not the same as "intelligent lifeforms". So the worms and other kinds of animals can live at the other planets even in our solar system. But the intelligent lifeforms would be a more unusual case. The chance to find the lifeform at the extrasolar planet is always interesting. 


If there is a possibility to find the lifeform from Proxima Centauri B, that can cause the situation that we should re-estimate our models of the lifeforms and possibility to find them. If Proxima B has some kind of lifeforms the similar lifeforms can also be found from the planets of other red and brown dwarfs. 


There is a model that the brown dwarfs or red dwarfs, what are orbiting each other, would have a planet, where are the lifeforms, what is active only when both of those stars are shining to their ice-cold planet. And maybe the active period of some other creatures is limited only the time of flare eruptions. That is one model of the primitive lifeforms that are exciting and interesting, and what can be found also from other dwarf stars.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
