There's life on Mars.

This was the STOOPIDest thread I have ever read on ns. I came in here to read theories about mars life, not bullshit about the bible and why the earth is flat and other dumbass shit

Welcome to NSG!

.Fryyet mars has no atmosphere...boom

Well it does, we used it to aerobrake our last 2 probes. It's just much thinner than ours, and does a pretty awful job stopping strong UV rays. Mars also lacks a magnetic field, which is what stops a lot more charged solar particles from interacting with life and other complex molecules on earth.

That doesn't mean Mars is uninhabitable. A lot of scientists think mars used to have a spinning core floating in liquid iron, much like earth's is today, and that it had an atmosphere that at least supported liquid water. This means we think Mars was once suitable for life, probably a few hundred million years before earth was. If Earth lost its magnetic field, atmosphere and oceans, would some life live on for 5 billion years? Could it evolve fast enough? Would it all move underground? These are the questions that we are asking about Mars, and until we do more research here on Earth and on Mars, we won't be able to even form any credible theories on martian life.

Scientists know what the implications of the methane might be, but they also know jumping to a giant conclusion could prove to be pretty dumb.It certainly has in the past, and they aren't about to take that risk I'm sure many that have worked to be able to study the red planet believe and hope life is currently soldiering on, billions of years after it might have split with our life. Hopefully NASA/the rest of the space going world can figure out effective sterilization so we can check for our selves and get a definite answer to one of our biggest questions.

Prototype_1No where in the Bible does it say we are the only world created by God.

where in the bible does it say that god created other worlds?

Bumpity bumpity booo

Turd.Fergusonwhere in the bible does it say that god created other worlds?

The bible says a lot of stuff. I am not a 100% believer in any one religion. However I do believe that the bible and stuff have the possibility that it was written in a form of "ancient slang".

For example the creation in 7 days theory doesn't necessarily mean 7 actual Human earth days. That is impossible, but perhaps god meant that as in to him it was "like" 7 days, but could have meant it had actually taken thousands of human earth years. My reasoning is that there are some Suns that are exponentially larger than our sun. If there are any mega planets that circle those massive suns 7 days might actually mean like a few thousand years in human earth terms compared to their one (or seven) day(s).

Garden of Eaden very well could have been a science lab where "God" created us. Some words didn't even exist when the bible was written so they had to use words they were familiar with in order to write it.

I also believe that some of the writings could have been just made up stories while some may have a bit of truth behind them.





(Back on topic of the thread) Personally I am stoked about finding intelligent life on other worlds because I wonder what sort of religious beliefs they have. To be honest I think it will shed more light on our religious views to find other forms of intelligent life, than if we find out we are alone in all of space.

You're confusing how a year works with a day.

"If there are any mega planets that circle those massive suns"

An Earth year is 365 days. It's the time that it takes the Earth to ORBIT the Sun.

Orbit definition: In astronomy, the path followed by an object revolving around another object. Maybe you didn't mean to say circle those massive suns but that's what you said. Circling and the time it takes for the Earth to rotate completely around on its axis are not the same thing, but thanks for the down vote.


That being said I don't actually know if the size of the sun can effect the speed the planets spins at by so much it can make a day thousands of the earth years.

It was more-so a joke than anything. lol also I didn't down vote.

With the screen shot you da real mvp! Guess my meter was broken.

Fun fact! because of Newtownian physics, every orbit "elevation" has a single speed an object can travel at, and vice versa, every speed has a specific orbit it corresponds with. You can never travel any faster or slower to a location, because doing so adjusts your orbit. You can only maneuver your orbit so its more efficient.

Because I'm cool and have a ton of free time, I looked into this. there is some called tidal locking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_locking it makes one side of the planet face the sun all the time.making one day infinitely long. now there are toned down version of title locking that makes the planet spin very slow. As for the math with the size of the sun. It has to be proportional to the mass of the star divided by the cube of the distance. So a massive sun could make a planet spin slower, but not nearly as well as the planet just being closer. with that being said its still not 1,000's of years
