What is the oldest example of DNA identified? My understanding was that DNA in non-living matter had lifetimes of thousands of years, not millions. How did such ancient DNA manage to be preserved? Does this result hold up? |

What reasons allow for women to outlive men? Ahh! That makes sense then :-) Even so, it would be interesting to know if they accounted for things like syphilis which might make sense in the context of this study. OK, I should read the paper ... |

What reasons allow for women to outlive men? Are they really saying that the lifespan of their control samples (i.e. men with testes) was only 51-56 years? That is worryingly low - I suspect that something else may be going on there .. ? |

Is there life on other planets and if so how frequent? Giant reservoirs of water have not been found on Europa, although it is hypothesized that there may be a subsurface water ocean due to the way that the surface ice has deformed. However, I do agree that Europa is an exciting target. Enceladus also, which has been seen to have cryovolcanos spurting out water-ice. I suspect Mars is too dry and cold. We'll see. |

What elements are a possible basis for life? It's an interesting question. However I suspect we'll be finding lots of weird carbon-based slime rather than anything silicon based. However, it's a big Universe out there! |
