Q&A

Is it possible for a sustained Jovian-based ecology to exist?

+0
−0

As a matter of course, a number of scientific articles and books have held speculation as to the possibility of life on a Jovian (gas giant such as Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, etc). Typically, this consists of plankton-based systems due to the immense pressures involved with Jovians.

As shown here (Credits to E:D), there is ammonia-based life living in this Jovian. My question is, would it be possible (or impossible) for this life to evolve to something more diverse, such as pictured to occur on Earth-like planets (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary)?
