I always thought red dwarf stars could have planets with life since they last longer than our sun but red dwarfs have violent episodes that makes trouble for life. Water acts like a solvent and is every where. It does seem best for life. Slow life would be possibly invisible to us as much as fast life so Ebbie sounds correct also.

Steve are you familiar with some of the strange aspects of water and how its crystals can make extraordinary beauty depending on exo-factors?
The science may be hooey but it almost seems it is influenced -gulp- by good thoughts.
I think the universe wants to be conscious. Even a cat is consious to an amazing degree. Bacteria has intention if not a kind of consciousness.
When I look at the mega scale pictures of the universe it looks like a microscopic picture of living tissue. That is as far as I can go when tip toeing into pseudo science or something called para this or that..
