I'm searching for EXO planet concert series but I ended up being here XD

[snflwrchan]

I've always wondered that what if there is life in planets completely different from ours. Because since it's a different world, the way organisms sustain life there would be different. Like for example there's a planet like Uranus out there, it might be 100% impossible for organisms on earth to live there but the planet might be sustaining life in its own way. Like if we breathe oxygen, life there breathe methane. But that is what's normal for them. Just like how life here on earth adapts to its environment, it might be the same there. It's just that how they live life is way way different from how every organism live life here on earth.
