Q

Could there be alien life on habitable planets?

A

The habitable conditions of a habitable planet are only for human needs. Alien life may not be consistent with human survival conditions. For example, alien life may not be carbon-based or rely on oxygen to survive. Therefore, the existence of alien life and habitable planets are not necessarily bound to each other. At the same time, interstellar exploration is not yet possible for human technology to confirm life on exoplanets.
