We don't actually know if aliens exist, but if they do, their cells probably have a special type of membrane.

And that knowledge alone tells us where we can look for them, and maybe even what they'll be like.

Hi, I'm David, and this is MinuteEarth.

There are lots of different ways scientists can search for life on other planets.

They can listen for radio signals from alien civilizations.

They can scan distant atmospheres for the chemical fingerprints life leaves behind.

And they can send spacecraft to sample places in our own solar system where life might be hiding.

Or they can search for places that have the right conditions for a particular type of membrane to form.

This last one is actually a pretty powerful tool for zeroing in on possible extraterrestrial life,

because virtually every cell on Earth is wrapped in a membrane that keeps its contents inside,

builds up a gradient by piling charged particles on one side, and then captures energy as those particles flow back through to the other.

These membranes, we can call them electrochemical membranes, are so fundamental to life that many experts think that extraterrestrial life will likely have them too.

On Earth, electrochemical membranes are formed from a specific set of elements, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus, which can form molecules that,

in the presence of liquid water, assemble into, well, membranes.

And those membranes in turn form the foundation of life on Earth.

So one way to find extraterrestrial life is to look for other worlds

that have those same elements and the liquid water

that would allow them to self -assemble and some sort of energy to power the life forms.

And there are two of those worlds relatively nearby.

Saturn's moon Enceladus has all of those elements and liquid water, though the ocean is buried under a thick shell of ice.

So the membranes crucial to life could potentially form on Enceladus.

But without direct sunlight, there's not much energy available.

Any life

that formed there would likely have to rely on the trickle of energy coming from hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor.

So I imagine that any life there would be small and live right next to those vents.

Jupiter's moon Europa also has all five of those membrane -building elements and a liquid ocean under an icy shell.

But unlike energy -poor Enceladus, Europa is constantly being bombarded by radiation from Jupiter,

and experiences much more tidal heating as it gets pushed and pulled by the massive planet.

So if there is life on Europa, perhaps it's faster moving because it has more access to that energy.

And then there's K2 -18b, a planet about 120 light -years away from us.

From spectroscopy, we're pretty sure that it has at least three of the required elements to build

Earth -like electrochemical membranes, and it may even have liquid water.

But it's also surrounded by a thick layer of hydrogen gas, which for complicated chemistry reasons,

some scientists speculate would lead not to the development of lots of individual membranes, but instead one big one.

So that makes me envision alien life on K2 -18b that's not multiple organisms, but instead a single giant film that covers the entire world.

And life may not actually be limited to worlds with exact

Earth -like chemistry, because scientists think that in some cases, electrochemical membranes might be able to form from slightly different ingredients.

The clouds surrounding

Venus, for example, have no liquid water.

So Earth -like membranes couldn't form there.

And even if they did, the clouds are made of concentrated sulfuric acid, which would destroy those membranes on contact.

What scientists have discovered, though, is that electrochemical membranes built with sulfur can actually self -assemble and survive in strong acid.

So any life on Venus would probably have to form inside droplets of sulfuric acid.

And because those droplets would have access to plenty of energy from sunlight as they floated up and down in the clouds,

I picture excited aliens bopping around in their little acid bubbles.

Again, we still don't know whether aliens exist.

But focusing on the likelihood that they'll have electrochemical membranes doesn't just tell us where to look.

It also hints that whatever we find could be deeply weird.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
