OT -- Life on Mars? Curiosity starting to make a case

Submitted by superstringer on

WOW -- NASA's "Curiosity" robot on Mars found "organic material" and methane in the Martian soil, dating to about 3 billion years ago -- back when its surface was probably covered in water.

Not a total guarantee, but... you do the math, it's like having Durant and Curry on your team, there's no guarantee of a championship but C'MONG MAN.  Mars was likely teaming with life back then.

Still no word on intelligent life ever being present in East Lansing, however.

Hmmm...I don't know?.....could be....and I'm just spitballin' here....but....maybe.... a truly advanced intelligence doesn't need to "roam restlessly" or "explore endlessly" since they have used their intelligence to clean up the space around themselves and live in balance, unlike some who surround themselves with FUD.

That way they can just look up in the night sky in awe, rather than inventing things made of black, dark holes. Naw....... that's silly.

OK, how about this: 

Consider the theory of the Goldilocks Zone, in our solar system the ring around the sun that can support liquid water, therefore life, is very small; consequently, if life existed on Mars at one point it's more than likely it was:

A: In the Goldilocks Zone when the zone was much larger and since then the zone has narrowed.

Or

B: In the Goldilocks Zone at the same time as Earth was when it's orbit was different and much closer to us.

Or

C: Both

 

Of course, if you believe Velikovsky, the Earth and Mars both orbited Saturn when it was the second sun in a binary system, so primitive human-like primates could have been on both planets.

 

I tend to believe Velikovsky more and more.

When Hubble took the deep field photo the astronomers figured that the # of stars out there was 10 to the 22nd:-/  That combined with the # of exoplanets already on the map tells me, yeah, pretty sure we'd be ignorant not to believe the is life out there.
