Whenever people look up at the starry sky, people will always have a lot of wonderful ideas, as an incomparably small existence in the universe, whether there are other intelligent life forms besides human beings has become the focus of people's attention.
According to the research of scientists, water is still an important criterion for judging whether other planets have bred life, and only after the preliminary determination can we explore more deeply and get accurate answers.
In fact, it is difficult for people to understand this operation, because using water as a criterion to judge whether life exists or not greatly limits the scope of people's exploration. In the solar system, for example, there are only a few planets and moons with liquid water, and even if we are placed on the huge scale of the universe, we may not be able to find the right target.

However, scientists believe that water is an important condition for the existence of carbon-based life, and if there is no liquid water on the earth, all life may not be able to be born smoothly. In addition, the formation of liquid water also requires the right temperature, and with the support of science and technology, liquid water can also be converted into oxygen, and the necessary conditions for life are therefore available.
At the same time, people are also very curious, what if the alien civilization is dominated by silicon-based life? Water may not be a necessary resource for their existence, although this is a simple assumption, but there are also views that there may be more forms of life in the universe, and carbon-based life is not necessarily the only one.
In addition, there is a large part of the view that the search for liquid water on other planets is not only to explore the existence of extraterrestrial life, but also to help humans find colonized planets. After all, the earth cannot be our eternal home, and only by finding a planet that can sustain human existence can we hope to get more opportunities to pass on human civilization.
Scientists say that in fact, liquid water is not the only criterion for judging whether life exists, but it is relatively important. We can't be optimistic that there is life in water, because from the data collected so far, humans need to go deeper to explore to be able to screen out the most suitable planets.
In fact, in recent years, there is another bolder assumption, the earth has abundant water resources, in fact, the result of countless coincidences, which also makes people wonder whether the existence of human civilization is deliberately designed for some kind of advanced civilization.
There are infinite possibilities in the universe, and we seem to be making multiple choice questions all the time, but human beings have to admit that the emergence of life is a miracle in itself. Due to our limited capabilities, we still can't get an accurate answer, so we can only continue to search the universe for more planets with water.
