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

will have an evolutionary path that's the same or different.

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

Depends on extension, depends on climate, depends on whatnot.

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

So...

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

I think that it's a little different than that.

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

We are biased when it comes to the origin of life because, well, we are the only model we know.

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

And as I said, it makes sense because it seems that a lot of

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

you know, stars like the sun appeared 10 billion years ago.

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

And there are lots of words that really resemble the earth and lots of water out there and lots of conditions that could be a repeat of what we know.

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

And we know that this biochemistry works.

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

So again, as I mentioned, what is going to change is really the evolution of a planet, extinction, geology, et cetera.

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

But our model,

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

is probably very abundant.

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

I'm not saying that the end game is going to resemble us because of all this extinction, et cetera, but this is a good bias.

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

It's one that has the number for it.

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

You know, the principle of mediocrity, I think that in that case, it really applies where the earth is representative of an abundance of other worlds.

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

Now, of course, there can be other biochemistry.

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

We have some examples in our own solar system.

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

Titan might be a representative of that.

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

We are not very clear of the kind of biochemistry that can come out of a world where you have hydrocarbon lakes and rains and things like that.

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

But we are going there.
