If your original lifeform is being imported it can be somewhat shorter, and if you have a supernatural origin for life (like a life-imbung Æther or some such) it can be extremely short. Furthermore, the origin of life is still extremely poorly understood and we basically just know if took billions of years here. We don't really know that it has to happen that way or even really what other ways it might look. Don't worry bout timescale too much. | |

Says 'drafts' instead of 'dwarfs'

| Oct 16, 2014 at 20:14 | comment | added | Caleb Hines | Thinking about the orbital dynamics involved in a system like this makes my head hurt... But now I'm thinking that a really neat possibly-stable setup for a binary system might have a planet in a "horseshoe orbit" that is co-orbital to the secondary star (which itself would have to be in the habitable zone of the primary star).
