Essential factors that need to be demonstrated by researchers to convince the discovery of life on another planet
Introduction:
To live life on any planet, there are certain factors that the researchers need to demonstrate to convince us that they had discovered life on another planet. A body can be defined as living, if it performs some basic life processes such as growth,

You have learned the process of the Scientific Method since elementary school science lessons. How does the development of new research tools, such as aerial drones and stable isotope analysis, affect the process of science?
What evidence could you use to support that the organisms you observed under the microscope today were living organisms?
Why is it so important to learn about the Piltdown Hoax? Do you think it demonstrates that scientists may lose their objectivity when they want data to fulfill their expectations and desires or does it demonstrate the self-corrective nature of science?
