Time is Life
Authors: Domingos S.L. Soares (Physics Department, UFMG, Brazil)

The affirmative statement of the existence of extraterrestrial life
is tentatively raised to the status of a principle. Accordingly, Fermi's
question is answered and the anthropic principle is shown to be falsifiable.
The time-scale for the development of life on Earth and the age of the
universe are the fundamental quantities upon which the arguments are
framed. ------------------------
