  • An exploration of the newly discovered rock on Mars that seems to show tantalizing hints that it may be evidence of past microbial life living on Mars and how we may be very close to finally finding evidence of extraterrestrial life.

      These days I suspect there probably is life scattered throughout our solar system, but it likely all came from Earth. Either way should life exist out there learning it's origin would lead to the most profound revelations in the history of humanity. A single genesis would revel a narrow path to life. Whereas 2 or more starts to life in a single solar system would mean a Universe teaming with life.

      @@Top_Weeb if Dr. Richard Hoovers findings are right life originated before the planets were created. He has some pretty compelling arguments about finding ancient fossilized life in some meteorites from before the formation of earth. On top of that scientist are starting to find evidence of life from not long after the earths surface became solid which now only leaves about a 200 million year gap from molten surface to forming complex single celled life like we still see today. As time goes on it becomes more and more likely that life didnt start on earth.

      ​​​​​​@@THX..1138If there is life scattered throughout the solar system that is like Earth life, you will never know whether it originated from Earth or not. It could've originated from Mars or Venus and just so happened to thrive best on Earth. You would have no way to tell. Especially if we start seeing "Earth life" in the outer solar system like on moons. That would start to suggest panspermia on a much wider scale.
      In a way, I think that's more mind blowing. We will basically never be sure about our "true" origins.

    I get the feeling that if you write a paper saying, this might be life, your reputation is much more on the line than if you respond to such a paper saying, it might not. Isn't it a form of bias when a possible life signature is detected, any paper proposing a natural explanation is deemed as refuting the possibility of life. Not saying we should accept poorly supported claims but we shouldn't be biased against the possibility of life.

      It's that whole "extraordinary claims, extraordinary evidence" thing, same reason we reject "we don't know, therefore aliens".

      This is a common misunderstanding of science.
      When someone makes a positive claim, there are maybe a handful of ways that they could be right, and nearly infinite ways they could be wrong. As a result, with no evidence, the default position is not “maybe” or even “I’m not sure” but rather “no.” So in a manner of speaking there is a bias, but it is a logical bias against any given statement being true.

      If there's life on Mars, even just microbial, we should be extremely wary about bringing anything back from Mars. In fact, the presence of life on Mars should make the planet off limits to human visitation/colonization.

    You need the life to be there [already pointing to abiogenesis beginnings; has to start somewhere], it needs to survive whatever incredible force launches it into space, needs to survive the heating up in the atmosphere, then the cooling off in space, then has to get caught in another planet's gravity, survive the heating up again, then whatever incredible force is involved in the impact... and *_then_* it has to have found itself in an environment amenable to it. That said, yeah, I know, there's reason to believe some simple life has survived space...

    In 2007 I contacted several agencies like NASA, as I found in the HiRise data a cliff face that had erosion 'holes' with a dark fluid falling out of it, running half way down before evaporating. I posted it online for years. Only one European magazine that I know of ever ran a photo and they put it on the cover. So... everyone I've ever shown agrees it's subsurface water running out like a spring, but literally no one wants to explore it further. 16 years it's been. I've thought about giving the information to China, as they are looking for a base location, and subsurface water supply is what counts.

If they form moderately long caves systems and run hundreds or even thousands of feet deep they might have formed a protective environment where at least microbiol life might have survived. Perhaps even small animal lifeforms. We might get a hell of a surprise when we send a robot drone into one of the mysterious holes that have been discovered on the surface.
