Tried to post this in r/aliens and even though I've posted in there before and have been participating, it was removed automatically because their mods are trash.

So this isn't a 100% yet, but still extremely exciting news. I don't know how many of you all know who Anton is, but he's an astrophysicist and educator. He's a very skeptical and pragmatic person, yet if you watch to the end he does a little dance number with vga greys due to how excited he is, as he's been hoping for something like this - like many of us have - for a very long time.

This shit got me thinking, and I think that the NHI might come from a Hycean planet orbiting a red dwarf like k218b. They suppository live in the ocean, have webbed fingers and toes, and if they're from a Hycean world the water would be hot enough that they might even be cold blooded. And yes, life can not only survive in super critical water, but it can thrive: we find water like this coming out of and around deep sea volcanic vents which are some of the most biodiverse locations on the planet.

Ok, so now add this to the large amount of weird shit and announcements going on. It's very odd timing, but could also 100% be a coincidence, but we've been getting weird shit almost every other week.

Either way, still extremely exciting. DMS has no natural processes for production outside of life, at least with our current knowledge. This is exciting.
