gollark: Who even knows. If you stretch the definitions a bit, fire and stars are life.
gollark: I mean, Conway's Game of Life is Turing-complete and has self-replicators, those are "life".
gollark: It could probably exist in basically any with sufficiently... something... rules, given a broad enough definition of "life".
gollark: I read somewhere that if we had four dimensions and similar physics things would be too unstable to work, and two dimensions doesn't really provide enough connectivity to do much, but I don't think you can give much of a meaningful answer beyond "it just is".
gollark: By "long", I mean "more than about 3 minutes", unless they are very interesting all the way through.
