Could Dark Matter life-forms exist?

reply to post by fadedface


I think we can agree that if it is connected to our reality it has the potential to have life forms in it because all life consciosness is, is an electrical field. I don't think they have fully proven dark matter yet. I'm sure they know it exists it's just waiting for the big unveiling. My first reaction would be that if life did exist. They would be in a dormant state. Unless we wanted to equate it to plankton in the sea or other micro organisms in our air. But I think radiation and temperature extremes would negate any life as we know it.

I've often wondered similarly, OP. Just because our chemical design doesn't allow for space being a feasible habitat doesn't necessarily mean something else isn't a good fit for it. Growing up on all thing Star Trek, the show itself prodded me to think about that when space dwelling creatures were depicted. Hey, for all we know, there might be a real-life answer to the Farpoint space jelly fish out there.

As for after death, well, we do have a measurable electrical current. It doesn't just go poof when we do. I personally think that when it dissipates from our corpses after death that it's merely reabsorbed into the electrical fields on the planet, and potentially the universe. I think we're kind of like organic low-capacity batteries in that sense, and ones that discharge after death.
I'm not a proponent of life after death in the spirits and demons religious sense (fables are nice, but often dopey) HOWEVER. I'm willing to consider that death is like a molting stage, and we shed this current shell for something else. Now, if you're going to consider that, I have to put forth that all living creatures with a measurable electrical current do the same thing. What do we & them turn in to after that? The things that make you go "hmm..."

And again, while I'm also no believer in ghosts from the beyond, I'd also put forth that perhaps we do exist in a multi-verse, and what we see & dub as ghosts and/or demons might actually be some visual bleed-over from a different branch of the multi-verse tree. The "walls" between us could be a little thin or broken in some places for all we know. Who's to say every example of existence is identical in all ways? Some probably vary greatly from ours, and thus look startlingly different in terms of what it looks like and what inhabits them.
