For what it may be worth, the atmosphere of Titan -- like that of Earth, but not Mars -- is not in equilibrium. So SOMETHING is continually acting upon it. On Earth, that 'something' is life.

Actually it has a thick atmosphere so it good on that point. It is the lack of basic sunlight at the surface that means it is so truly cold. At 1/10 of 1 percent of what we have.

When exploring the possibility of life beyond Earth, we often focus on the factors that allowed life to thrive here. However, in examining the liquid methane lakes of Titan, we must consider that an alien environment like this could potentially support life as well. It's possible that there are organisms out there, capable of adapting and evolving in environments vastly different from our own, such as lakes of methane rather than water. We need to shift our perspective and move away from Earth-centric views and light conditions in our search for extraterrestrial life. After all, we’re not looking for life on Earth; we’re investigating a moon of another planet. We cannot expect the scientific conditions to mirror our own, and this narrow mindset may be what is hindering our progress.

The oxygen is used as the Electron Transport Chain terminus in mitochondria; it's the final electron acceptor. The sugar is reacted in the host cell without oxygen needed, leaving behind a byproduct of 2 pyruvate molecules, and mitochondria are very good at making more energy (and nutrients) out of that byproduct.

The big problem of Titan is that it's crust is made of ice, not rock or carbides. The low density of Titan means that there's a big crust made of ice with miles thick away from the mantle and core, making the surface poor in heavier elements. If the surface was made of carbides and graphite, if those liquid hidrocarbon lakes were near volcanos or another source of heat and right above a crust richer in metals and elements like calcium, sulfur and phosphorus, life would be much more probable. If those ethane lakes were in contact with metals and heavier elements, even silicon, and if there was more heat under those lakes and seas, Titan would be much more similar to Earth. Low density worlds are bad for life. I expect that the interior of Titan is much more similar to Ganimede and Callisto than Europa. If that's the case, almost no hopes for life!

@@Gelatinocyte2 But the surface of Titan is made of water ice, with organics above it, not rocks as our moon. Titan is not that different from other moons of Saturn, with the difference that it's bigger and have an atmosphere. In fact the most similar moon to Titan is Iapetus, because that also has organic material above the water ice crust, but it's smaller and has not an atmosphere. Titan and Iapetus are brothers. If Iapetus was as big as Titan, it would also have an atmosphere and a similar surface.

I find the idea that large bodies in our solar system are 100% sterile to be an absurd hypothesis. I find it far easier to believe that anywhere there is liquid (doesn't need to be water) in a relatively stable environment, life will be found. My saying is, the cosmos is so old... it's moldy. The reason we haven't found life yet because the only place we've looked for it has been from chairs on the surface of the Earth.
@catpoke95576 сағат бұрын
I'm not so sure about that. I think life is way more common than we give it credit for, but I don't think we have any reason to see liquid and assume that means life. There's so many other factors that may be at play. For example, we don't know the minimum temperature life needs to survive, and we KNOW it probably can't FORM in the cold. So a planet probably needs to be at least relatively warm at some point in its time to develop life.

Earth is a very bizarre planet. Nothing like it has ever been found. Mars could have never been like Earth because it has an imbalanced core that was doomed to fail very quickly. Venus and Mars never developed plate tectonics, which are critical to making life possible on Earth. Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto have always been hellscapes. While extremely hypothetically, there could be single-celled organisms in the upper atmosphere of Venus, or underground on Enceladus and a few other subsurface ocean candidates, there are serious problems with those ideas which you would have to do some research on. One example is that the distance between the top of the global ocean on Enceladus and the bottom is much, much too large, around 60 miles. That means that if there were life forms near volcanic vents, they would have all the weight of 60 miles of ocean bearing down on them, which would amount to ridiculous pressure like we have never seen anywhere on Earth. If there is any life on Titan, it is surely extremely primitive. While we have found evidence of simple aquatic life in Lake Vostok on Earth, the temperature is much, much higher than the lakes of Titan. Going underground, like on Earth, you would encounter the average temperature of the planet in the underground caves, which is -180 F. There is no guarantee that there is life able to withstand cold temperatures to such extreme like we see hot extremophiles in volcanic springs on Earth. Earth life has nearly been completely wiped out on several occasions, e.g. the Great Dying. In fact nearly 100 percent of all species that have ever existed on Earth are extinct. It is very possible that all other planets in the Solar system are sterile.

There is one important issue - the speed of a chemical reaction. Every catalyzed chemical reaction requires the overcome of activation energy and thus this requires a corresponding temperature. In average, by temperature increase about 10 K, it doubles speed of a chemical reaction. At such low temperatures, it may be too low for any biological activity.

The "Mercury" Earth would likely be a planetary pressure cooker, since Mercury is too close to the sun to ever be habitable. The "Venus" Earth could either be a planetary pressure cooker like Venus, or could be a hot earth (A "hot earth" is a potentially habitable planet that's warmer than Earth but still cool enough to retain liquid surface water). And Earth sized Mars would probably be a cold earth, colder than Earth on average but warm enough to prevent all the surface water from being frozen solid. Finally, the version of Earth at the orbit of Ceres or Vesta would be frozen solid, not to mention be in constant danger of asteroids striking (although the asteroids average 1,000,000 km apart, their orbits are far from stable).

OK, but are pure big water ice planets likely to exist? Hydrogen and oxygen aren't the only elements in the universe. The protoplanetary nebulae will also have "dust" made of silicates and iron elements (or silicates and iron mixed with ice), thus the resulting "solid" planets will be, by and large, half rock half ice. Even if a big ball made only of ice forms, it will anyway attracts and inglobate some rock at certain point. Still, great video. Quite informative in its down-to-earth calculations about the maximum size of a solid planet.
