Ideea de baza este ca in loc de Phosphor (sau cum se scrie corect) aceste microbe folosesc Arseniu ... Arseniul era considerat extrem de toxic pentru organizmele complexe asa ca aceasta descoperire revolutioneaza conceptul cum vedem bazele vietii. Eu zic ca este un rezultat extreordinar, care arata cat de "prosti" suntem (mai ales cercetatorii, care pana acum ziceau ca nu poate exista viata pe alte planete daca nu exista oxigen, apa s.a.m.d. - aceasta descoperire arata ca viata se adapteaza conditiilor, si am pute avea si forme de viata perfect incredibile fara legaturi cu teoriile existente), si ca traim intr-un timp extraordinar de fascinant dpdv stintific, si acum incepem numai sa intelegem unele chestii din univers (sa zicem 1%?
