I’ve been thinking lately, the Astrophysicist community just passed 5,000 confirmed exoplanets discovered yesterday. Out of those 5,000 30% are super earths (granted our current tech isn’t up to snuff for catching earth sized or smaller bodies as well yet)
I’ve been wondering if there could be an upper limit for how big a life form relative to animals/humans could get on say a super earth that’s 4x-8x our size. Could their be intelligent creatures with technology that are the size of giants 10, 20,50,100 ft tall?
On large Ocean worlds could their be leviathan type creatures pushing 500-1000ft in length with predators reaching up to half to maybe three quarters that size.
Since their is bound to be a good percentage of worlds with the polar opposite consisting of microscopic sized life.
