aliens and astronomy

[Scraby]

there was lots of oxigen back then,and the plants can look like the ones we find on earth,but they might be made out of something else,as there is proof mars had oceans of water,plants,animals,but the atmosphere lacked a bit of co2 and the warmth left the planet turning it into a barren waste land,without co2,oxigen started thinning,plants dying,creatures dying becouse of decreased oxigen,UV particles boiling of water,the only remnant of water is at its poles

[OANST]

You may find some dispute about there being proof of animal and plant life on Mars. By anyone who knows anything about Mars.

[Scraby]

well i watched few new shows on national geographic

[OANST]

You did, eh?

[MA]

i watched a show on National Geographic about floating zebras.

can't wait to see one.

I say if there is other life it will most likely be on gliese 581 d (a planet 20.3 lightyears away that lies in the habbitabal zone of its star)

[just_an_(ODD)alisque]

I don't think there are any in the Soar system

[Crashpunk]

I think Aliens do exsit (well lifeforms anyway) but the chances of other life in the solar system isn't too big.

[Scraby]

yeah,me too,but they were mumbling of life on europa or titan since he is full of natural gases and his atmosphere is being replenished with methane,this might mean that there are animals there

[ODDWORLDisTHEbest!]

i too believe in aliens, but, like crashpunk said, there is a low probability they are in our solar system, because as we already know, except from earth, there is no other planets in our galaxy capable of supporting life, except from maybe mars, but we've had probes there for dacades and so far no sign of life, so i think far out in space maybe.


wow that was a mouthfull of science, never knew i had it in me.

[Scraby]

well we could find life on gliese

[T-nex]

I wanna see close ups of Gliese. I'm so excited about that planet.

[STM]

Shame we haven't the technology to reach it for another hundred or so years though! I more interested in the terraformation of Mars really and the possibility that such a project might unlock existing but dormant species.

[Phylum]

Unlock dormant species?

This isn't an episode of Dr Who for fucks sake.

[STM]

Hey Phlegm, some scientists believe that certain microscopic species may be in a state of 'suspended animation' as it were and that by terraformation, they may be able to reproduce their dna again, which brings up the ethical debates of terraforming a planet as it may mess up ecosystems that could be reactivated given enough careful observation and understandings.

[T-nex]

Who are "some scientists"? Can you please give a source?

[STM]

Erm...wikipedia

[ODDWORLDisTHEbest!]

Unlock dormant species?

This isn't an episode of Dr Who for fucks sake.

oh but it so is

you might find that on mars there could be phreastoric (no idea how to spell that) parasatic life on mars frozen in the rock, you never know, when we reach mars, or we could even send a probe up to revive them, its just a theory.

[Phylum]

But it sounds like some crappy si-fi movie plot.

[T-nex]

Also it would take thousands of years before anything significant happened with those life forms... Maybe we should send a time machine to Mars to speed up the process!!

[ODDWORLDisTHEbest!]

to travle in time, you have to travle faster than light, and the human body cant possibly travel at the speed of light as it would burst into atoms, you want proof? then wheres all the time travellers from the future?

[T-nex]

That's not what I was talking about at all <.<

[ODDWORLDisTHEbest!]

i know, i dont even know why i posted that

[scrabface]

If there is anything alien in our solar system, than of course it only can be a bacterium kinda life form. I doubt the possibility of any lifeforms on Europa. too many circumstances that make it more unlikely.

to travle in time, you have to travle faster than light, and the human body cant possibly travel at the speed of light as it would burst into atoms, you want proof? then wheres all the time travellers from the future?

first of all, you don't have to travel faster than light, if you come close enough you seem to go forth in time, because your time goes slower than as for static masses. not really possible for a human as it would take a lifetime to gain such speed, and absolutely impossible with any known technics.
as for your travellers from the future example, traveling back in time is something completely different and theoretical impossible, as you could set off a paradox. so it is illogical ergo not possible.

[ODDWORLDisTHEbest!]

i think you watch too much dr who

[STM]

You should do a little research before copying Phylum with such oh so witty remarks...Scrabface has only spoken what we know as true or what is held as the scientific standard, what with light speed being harder to achieve the closer you get to it.

[Dynamithix]

This is off-topic, but whatever, you guys know that show called Life on mars?

Well, when they first started showing teasers of it on TV, I was excited, but then I saw a bit of the first episode and it was some retard getting in an accident and wakes up in the 70's. The fuck. Why call the show life on mars? I was expecting a cool sci-fi show.

I heard it was an okay show though.

[MA]

Life On Mars was fucking great. it was called Life On Mars due to the contrasting way of life during the 70's compared to that of modern day society. he may as well have been living on another planet.

it's also a ref to David Bowie.

thanks for that, Watson.
