Astronomy Question about life?
Let's say we were wrong and life existed in places we never ever exspected. Mountains on mars, INSIDE the moon (as if it was hollow) or even pluto. What would that then say or what would then happen.

Mars is a place where people have long thought there could be life. So if it's found in mountains there, those people will be right. It's likely that a probe would be sent to one of the locations where life was detected to analyze it further.
It would be surprising to find life on the moon. It too would get investigated if it were found. It's definitely not hollow though.
If life were found on Pluto, that would also be a surprise. But it wouldn't be investigated up close for a long time. It's hard to land on Pluto (this has never been attempted) and it takes a really long time to reach Pluto. A spacecraft designed to orbit or land on Pluto would be very expensive, and it would probably take more than 10 years to get there. Maybe the life forms would be going into a dormant state, because Pluto is getting farther away from the sun, and it's getting even colder. There would be more observation of objects like Pluto though from space telescopes though, to see if the same signs of life could be identified elsewhere in the Kuiper Belt.
Any discovery of life outside of Earth would be exciting.

It would then say that science was wrong on the origin of man and a lot of chalkboard theories would be flushed down the toilet along with the other s**t.

It would be life as we don't know it, and possibly unrecognizable as life at all. It would say a lot about us if we managed to discover it at all.

It would say we were wrong, and then we'd then start investigating that life. What did you imagine would happen?

That would be pretty cool. It would mean...there's life everywhere. Intelligent life more likely.
