My question is this, we know that extremeaphiles live in almost every environment that we have encountered or ventured in so far, what is to say that there are not extremeaphiles in other areas that we consider impossible to host life in I.E. space, sun(s) or even something really extreme like a neutron star or black hole?

and to go a little bit farther along that line what about a life form that is somewhat sentient or is sentient in any of those environments?



For some entertaining speculation on life developing on a neutron star, I recommend Dragon's Egg by Dr. Robert L. Forward

...as well as its sequel, Starquake.

Hi Maxx

I followed up your recommendation, and thoroughly enjoyed a couple of cracking books!
Thanks very much.

PS - There must be so many great books out there just waiting to be read, and yet I have no idea that they even exist. So thanks for leading me to these.
