# Talk:Life

"LUCA" is placed at ~4.150 BYA, which is not only older than the earliest possible time frame for any sort of life or even proto life, but also before the timeline's own stated time frame for the emergence of single-cellular life. Wrongperson58 (talk) 02:44, 26 June 2025 (UTC)

This concerns the template, not this article. I've left a note on the template's talk page. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:22, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

Change "All life over time eventually reaches a state of death, and none is immortal." to "only some organisms, like the Turritopsis dohrnii have biological immortality, though most other life will eventually decease." Ducksarecute22 (talk) 16:00, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template.  Certainly an interesting thing to discuss, but this would need reliale sources and verification in body. Slomo666 (talk) 17:52, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

Could some edit be done to clarify that the English word "life" is not a slang word or informal term but rather the neutral word for life in the English language and that biota is a word learned in education from with roots in Greek? Graythx (talk) 01:41, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

Not sure it's our job to do the first part (Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and life is a common word). On "biota", we should say it's not exactly a synonym (it means the life of a particular place): its etymology is possibly worth mentioning, but not the key issue.
