However, physicists have recently found a planet possibly bears life. Its gentle climate and the pull of its gravity are similar to that of the earth. This theory has been accepted by many scientists. Meanwhile, astronomers have found through satellites that oxygen, atoms and carbon dioxide, which are fundamental to life, exist in its atmosphere. Cheered up by this news, biologists began to do some research to solve people’s puzzles — Now that there are right conditions, does life really exist on this globe? Do they multiply by l
