Free-floating planets may be more common than stars Very interesting. I can only hope this is true. It's very comforting to think of how much other "stuff" is really out there in our universe. There's no way we're alone.
I wonder if life could be on some of these free-floating planets. As we have already found out, life finds its own way to flourish. Maybe there is some organism thats fully nocturnal and blind that survives off gas or some other source to sustain it. It definately induces some crazy thoughts, at least for me (though not all are scientifically sound).
Pretty sure without a home sun it will be difficult to create an atmosphere. And everything would be solid. So the chance for life would be extremely low. Bigger chance that one of them will collide with and detroy earth too.
i saw this on discovery news....soo awesome to think about. raises so many more questions. there is still so much we don't know.
