Goldilocks

Many times after I have mentioned that the conditions on Earth are very precisely tuned to allow complex life, specially intelligent life, to flourish, I hear the rebuke: "life as we know it, perhaps life in other parts of the Universe can thrive in very different conditions than it does here. Perhaps it doesn't need a liquid (or dense) medium where heavier, complex molecules can be suspended and interact more easily, exploring the infinite possibilities of chemical reactions. Perhaps it doesn't need a relatively stable environment (among other things), where, if mildly complex life evolves at all, it has the possibility and time to grow variants and become evolutionary more robust. "

Perhaps, but the fact of the matter is physical conditions are alike all around. The same elements we have here on Earth will be those available to a planet at the other side of the galaxy, since the processes of its formation inside a star are the same. So there are no magical elements. The physical fundamental forces are the same, and so on and so forth, so there is no magical possibility of escaping certain physical facts that are crucial to life. In some senses, conditions over planets vary a lot, but on another scale, they are pretty much the same, so there apparently is no room for interventions of exotic elements, fields or other esoteric contraptions.
