Microbial organisms have been implicated in several mass extinction events throughout Earth's planetary history. Concurrently, it can be reasoned from recent viral pandemics that viruses likely exacerbated the decline of life during these periods of mass extinction. The fields of exovirology and exobiology have evolved significantly since the 20th century, with early investigations into the varied atmospheric compositions of exoplanets revealing complex interactions between metallic and non-metallic elements. This diversity in exoplanetary and stellar environments suggests that life could manifest in forms previously unanticipated by earlier, more simplistic models of the 20th century. Non-linear theories of complexity, catastrophe, and chaos (CCC) will be important in understanding the dynamics and evolution of viruses.
在地球的行星历史中，微生物有机体与几次大规模灭绝事件有关。同时，从最近的病毒大流行可以推断，病毒可能在这些大规模灭绝时期加剧了生命的衰退。自20世纪以来，外星病毒学和外生物学领域有了显著发展，早期对外行星不同大气成分的研究揭示了金属和非金属元素之间的复杂相互作用。系外行星和恒星环境的这种多样性表明，生命可能以20世纪早期更简单模型未曾预料到的形式出现。复杂性、灾难和混沌的非线性理论（CCC）对于理解病毒的动态和进化将很重要。
