Titan could have very early on possessed conditions favorable to the emergence of life and it cannot be discarded that this ocean may still harbor life today.
“Thus, Titan could have very early on possessed conditions favorable to the emergence of life and it cannot be discarded that this ocean may still harbor life today (Fortes 2000).”

“This ocean has long since frozen over, but Fortes (2000) found that there are terrestrial organisms that can withstand the pressure (1–4.5 kbar), temperature ( 260 K), alkalinity (pH 11.4), and viscosity ( 6.4 centipoise) predicted for Titan’s subsurface ocean.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
