Research that appears like technology fiction. Lately, scientists have hypothesized life-forms that can only be called "strange": organisms that live off acid solution rather than normal water, microbes that prosper at temps and pressure levels so extreme that their cellular structures should break down, perhaps even organisms that reproduce without DNA. Some of these bizarre life-forms, unrelated to all life we realize, might be nearby: on rock and roll surfaces in the American southwest, hydrothermal vents on the sea floor, or even inside our own bodies. Some, stranger still, might stay in Martian permafrost, swim at night oceans of Jupiter's moons, or endure in the spectacular ices on comets. Others - the strangest of all - might inhabit the crusts of neutron stars, interstellar nebulae, or even other spatial measurements. In Strange Life, David Toomey needs us on the breathtaking tour of a world of hypothetical life, a world of life even as we do not know it.
