good afternoon before I started

I would like you to close your eyes and that

imagine what a

you have extraterrestrial

it might be something like this

to this or maybe if it’s none of

both this is very likely that

this if there were extraterrestrials

do not look like these we have

here and why do not you have that much

see with the idea that I come to present

today what is astrobiology is my great

passion and this science what you try

explain is whether there is life elsewhere

of the universe to do it we need

know a fundamental thing and it is that it is

life

we know that living beings are born grow

they reproduce and die they did not

counted in school at the institute and

can even the race

I come to tell is a secret this is not

completely true there are exceptions like

what we can see in the photo is the

jellyfish is called torrita without nutrition

and it has a particularity we can

look at the scheme that we see below

in which we see as the egg comes out

long it goes out to a state that we call

as a polyp that develops and ends

being an adult jellyfish

we all think that when they get to the

adult jellyfish

the normal thing is that it dies because it does not pass

from the state of jellyfish to the state of

political and then it happens again the

state of jellyfish and back again

well infinite times but we killed her

this jellyfish will never die for a

natural death

then we have a problem for

define what life is

it is a definition not

biological because we can not measure something

and say that he is alive and we also

we found a problem

and is that the earth exists a great

each diversity of organisms

different each with their

particularities

if we try to look for life in others

planets we will find that very

few have the same conditions as

today we have the same components

chemicals the same distance a

star a star very similar to

Sun

then how can we find the

life on other planets

I would impress them if I told them

that the earth

there are organisms that can live in

climates like this one like this one

fact is a very acid medium and it

located in red river in huelva near

of a volcano erupting or even to

low depths where there is a

expression is very high and there is almost no

light

these organisms that live in these

extreme environments are called organisms

extremophiles the first is a glass of

Water

the water glasses can resist high

low temperatures temperatures the

radiation live in a vacuum

but how does these animals in the

moment when he is in a few

conditions that are not what

Sufficiently adequate for life

loses 99 percent of the water in

her body

then it is when they go to a state of

stand by until it was recovered in another

times the conditions that made

he lived previously but he does not move

the organism of the medium has a

very interesting explanation imagine

that right now in this room

we will eliminate all the oxygen there is

we would die die the

plants would die the eyes but the

Martians would not die and if you’ve heard

well the saying the Martians know each other

the Martians as a group of

living organisms

specifically 27 species that are capable

of living without oxygen do not have any

structure that allows them to absorb

oxygen from the environment and currently

is studying how he does it

and the last photo is of a bacterium that

It seems like little thing but it’s the bacteria

toughest we know in the

currently is capable of withstanding 500

Sometimes radiation that would kill a

human being and can also live in the

vacuum resist high temperatures

the low temperatures

in short it may seem impressive that

all these organisms have

evolved and that the origin may

of this organism be one and that be

common with us this makes us

ask ourselves about the origin of life in

the universe where we come from where

he created everything

currently there are several theories like

for example the panspermia that defends

that a meteorite was the one that took

life throughout the universe and that in the

moment when it hit a

planet if the conditions were given

necessary life would develop in

that planet seems simple although there

two other scientists or halide panini

who proposed another model is called the

synthesis to bioethics and basically

argues that different atoms are

they were gathering forming molecules and

these molecules came together forming

the living beings their peers that we

it seems that all this is closer

of science fiction that of the

reality but really although not

we can travel to the past to see how

everything happened we can study today in

day how can you create life in

another planet and knows what is next

I would like to end the cycle

and that you think again what a

alien

I hope you have changed thank you very much

[Applause]
