#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

The biochemistry might be quite similar, in fact, and especially for the simple life, because simple life starts really quickly.

on Earth.

#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

So my take on this is that the universe is full of cyanobacteria, but as far as intelligent life, it takes more time.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

So that can take different aspects.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

We actually don't know what triggered the evolution to complexity on Earth.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

That's still a big question mark.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

That Cambrian revolution is really what took us towards what we are.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

And in the meantime, there were the dinosaurs, et cetera.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

The dinosaurs were wiped out.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

So the evolution could have taken a completely different turn.

The thing that seemed to be interesting, there are two things.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

The first one is where you are located on our galaxy matters a lot.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

We actually are in the habitable zone of our galaxy.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

And if you are too close to the center, then it's a lot denser.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

And remember, we have the Oort cloud around our solar system.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

And if you are in the region of the galaxy that's too populated, then you are going to run interaction, gravitational interaction with all these stars.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

And since it's more dense, you will have more of the comets that are living in the Oort cloud being ejected from the Oort cloud and
