I always post links when I am drawing from internet sources.
Not what I said. You think merely posting what someone said means you understand it.

Honest people do
It’s one of my favorite things about internets discussions
I learn so much buy just discussing and thinking of a question and searching
I have found golden information that way so many times
It’s the BEST teacher

You don't have to have a slew of college math classes under your belt to participate in a math thread. This is a discussion board.
Half the posters here are participating in threads by frantically googling for tidbits of information and then racing back to the board to pass it off as their own knowledge and thoughts.
Liquid water can't exist in that phase below 0 C, so it can't be that cold.
I'm familiar with how entropy depresses freezing point
If it's carbon based life, I don't see any reason it would be radically different at the cellular level than life we have observed on Earth.
On the other hand, I've heard some wild speculations about possible exotic forms of life in the liquid methane lakes of Titan.
Your buddy (sock) Cypress said water can't exist as a liquid below 0degC. I corrected him.
It seems to me that if we evolved based on Earths environment, the more different aliens environment, the more different their biology. We are very much a product of Earth, they would be a product of Titan.
I suggest Cy start a new thread on this subject and ban you from it
Wow. Desh and Cypress could not be further from sock status. But okay.... I think that is flattering to one, less so to the other.. but heck, you go on wit' your bad self, ay?
I just let children scream, pout, and stomp on the floor until they get tired and need a cookie and a nap.

Me, Evince, you, and Jarod go back to politics.com, that's pushing almost 20 years.

The watery core of Enceladus exists beneath a frozen crust, and my sense is that the interior of Enceladus is heated by gravitational tidal forces by it's orbital dynamics with Saturn
True that.
Back when Evince was Deshrubinator, and Jarod was (twice daily) Alexfla, you and I were always Cypress and Damocles respectively though.
Agreed on the theory. Same for the moons of Jupiter.
Still, it's a small, but very big, jump from "organic molecules" to life. Scientists have tried for decades to shake'n'bake life in a lab with those same molecules without success.
The fact that "Organic compounds are ubiquitous in space" is one thing. The fact we only know of life on a single planet is another.

Abstract. Organic compounds are ubiquitous in space: they are found in diffuse clouds, in the
envelopes of evolved stars, in dense star-forming regions, in protoplanetary disks, in comets,
on the surfaces of minor planets, and in meteorites and interplanetary dust particles. This
brief overview summarizes the observational evidence for the types of organics found in these
regions, with emphasis on recent developments. The Stardust sample-return mission provides the
first opportunity to study primitive cometary material with sophisticated equipment on Earth.
Similarities and differences between the types of compounds in different regions are discussed in
the context of the processes that can modify them. The importance of laboratory astrophysics
is emphasized

I agree
Cy is much smarter and better educated than me
