Comment on If someone was shrunk down to the size of an ant would they be able to make a little ant sized campfire with the same principles? Does it scale like that?

I find that theory fascinating, as well as the one where it would have to be carbon based like us because chemistry.

Then intelligent life would need to be land based because you can’t easily do things requiring heat without an oxygen atmosphere and something to burn

To be space faring, your planet couldn’t have much more gravity than earth, else chemical rockets wouldn’t work

At what point is it usefully generalizing on what life would need vs where are preconceptions limiting your thinking?
