Hi,
Does anybody believe that there was once life on Mars or maybe you believe that there still is? Do you believe that the face on Mars was creating by intelligent beings or just a one-off rock formation? This web site claims that on some of the images it is quite clear to see water: http://jeffreymccann.com/mars.htm What’s your view?
i think there was once single celled organisms there, but they died off before they could evolve.
I don't believe that the face was crafted by a civilisation, but I do believe that there is water on Mars, and consequently, life. It may not be intelligent, but since Mars is colder, then it would take longer to develop.
That could be right. Mars fascinates me; I wish it were investigated correctly i.e. not by NASA. Remember the Polar Lander, that failed probe sent by NASA that should have been investigating the possibility of water on mars. Did you know, because of NASA’s funding cuts they didn’t invest enough money into the Polar Lander. The software was bad and the Polar Lander turned off its engines before it landed so it fell to its death. Maybe the programmers of the onboard software should have asked a couple of questions on this forum? Hehe!
Yeah. I think that one set of developers were using Newtons and one set were using pounds per square inch for their engine thrust calculations.
Yeah I remember that :) What kind of freak developers would use imperial measurements in that kind of modern, scientific situation, instead of all S.I. units? Oh yeah, I forgot, they're Yanks :D
Only NASA could make a mistake like that ;).
No, I think it's a very nice idea to give research positions to the unemployable, British rail have a similar employment stratagy.
LOL. Although the railways problem is slightly more important :D. (I need it to get to/from school every day).
Mars may have once had water. But they have found that it lacks certain minerals that Earth has and humans need. Therefore, life on Mars cannot be possible to support life. Plus, it has bad storms which be very destructable. We are the only life forms in this galaxy. But I do believe there is life in other galaxies, we aren't the only ones....or else, damn I feel lonely :p.
I Can-Not beleive that there is only life on one planet.
there is a whole universe, which is said to be never ending, how could there not be life, when there is so much space, it must be out there somewhere.
just because I am saying this doesnt mean I beleive in little green things in aluminum foil suits who come here in a big metal plate.
anybody who beleives in that kind of alians are just screwed up :D no offense to anybody,
but I beleive their skin color will be normal, perhaps tan(like "white" people), brown(like "black" people), or Black(like "monkeys" :D)(if I offend anybody of any race by those statements, I am sorry), and I think they will be of regular size, maybe the size of humans(average size about 5' 6") or maybe the size of an animal, I dont know, but I am sure they are going to be bigger than 2feet tall.
Hmm, I don't reckon there's life on Mars; maybe there was in the past. Bacteria maybe. I guess the human race on Earth could be a colony of 'aliens' that just got dropped off millenia ago on this planet and lost touch ;)
Getting back to the realms of normal science though ;) the universe isn't really infinite, it has edges, at least in theory. The edges are basically as far away from the big bang's point of origin as light could have travelled between the time of the big bang and now. Course we can't be sure cos noone's ever been there or seen it.
There's an equation some guy came up with that gives the probability of another intelligent lifeform out there somewhere. The constants in the equation are pretty debatable, but basically it comes out with between something like 0.1 and 10 lifeforms in the entire universe, statistically speaking. I think that's roughly it anyway.
You know about Red Shift, where if something is moving away from you the wavelength of its light increases (Doppler effect). Some people working on a completely different project found a VLF background 'noise' on their equipment, and it was actually the light from the edge of the Universe, but Red Shifted into the far end of the spectrum...When the graph of the theory was combined with the observed data at a conference, it got a standing ovation (for a small graph that's kind of impressive).
