Life in the universe?
What else can I say? It won't look anything like us or breath the same air, but there is life out there.
Life in the Unverse?
Baltimore has no life after dark. One has to drive to Philadelphia to find life. It is that bad here!
I should say that the aliens will be as far above us on the evolutionary scale,as we are above the amoeba.
Of course there's a scale--certainly,humans are more highly developed than trilobites(those pre-historic lobster-like things).And once we've evolved beyond the need for physical bodies(assuming that can/will happen),that--or something else--will be another notch beyond,on the scale.
