our complex biological systems on earth are variable and able to adapt, but life's beginnings are incredibly fragile. were it not for the existence of precise parameters on so many levels, life on earth as we know it would not exist. life proceeds on the path of least resistance as long as it works and when it doesn't it finds another path, and the fundamenta­l biochemica­l paradigm as a whole works because it works. a double helix works very well for complex life, so why a triple? the lady in the video above makes the point about organic compounds and chemistry throughout the universe and her descriptio­n on life as affected by gravity is a good one. we here to observe all this because life takes the path toward complexity­. if so, nature is telling us something about what that advancing like ourselves would look like. life forms of all kinds would a lot like what we see here on earth, maybe aliens would be taller or shorter and stockier, but its unlikely that they would be similar to the ones generally depicted in science fiction since our fragile system works.
