Re: Life on Jupiter?

Is it possible that earth is the lowest mass planet that could support life? Could the "habitable zone" around a star be greatly expanded by a larger-mass planet. For example Jupiter could have an ocean at some level, where the atmospheric temperature & density is similar to earths oceans. Could Jupiter even have a liquid-water layer?
