chairman ali Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I would not rule anything out of this world. We haven't even discovered 3/4 of the sea life. There is much to be learnt. And the more we learn, the more we know the more we realise we do not really know anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0SS Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 There is much to be learnt. And the more we learn, the more we know the more we realise we do not really know anything. Very true. I don't think we can begin to grasp the universe that we find ourselves in. I very much doubt that we're meant to. And to think, our entire existence is literally nothing in the scale and timeframe of the universe. All of our combined knowledge really equates to nothing. The most we can hope to do is discover ourselves as a race, before it's too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Seen that story already. Scientists already had a theory that life had been started from space then landed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull3tM0nk3y Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 So, does that mean we're all aliens? Illegal aliens then? Damn USA, come on, you're illegal too, let the Mexicans and Canadians in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng's Old Account Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I often couldn't give a crap about the past, in all honesty, whether 5 minutes or ancestral origins. My eyes are set ahead of me, so I'll go that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 That's cool if it's true. Mars was my favorite planet as a kid, so this is something like a dream come true, kind of. Plus, this kind of gives credence to the idea that there is extraterrestrial life out there somewhere. We came from another planet besides Earth, who's to say there isn't similar bacteria elsewhere?

Silverweed91 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Well, if it's true, I can see why the bacteria decided to emigrate to Earth: Mars sucks. (More seriously: even if our life really originated on Mars, given time it would have surely originated on Earth too. IMHO it's much more likely that life originated directly on Earth, given the conditions. Sure, aeons ago Mars was perhaps a living planet, but it'd need a huge amount of luck for them bacteria to survive the Mars-Earth journey...)

Bull3tM0nk3y Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 If I recall correctly, there is a small kind of bacteria that can survive the harshness of outer space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you'd still need a mean of transport travelling precisely from Mars to Earth...that's not very easy. Sure, Universe is wierd enough, so it could have actually happened, despite the chances (after all, life itself is a ridiculously unlickely event to happen, yet here we are ^^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's infinitesimal x infinite, so it can still be any value...but I don't know which infinity prevails in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bull3tM0nk3y Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 But you'd still need a mean of transport travelling precisely from Mars to Earth...that's not very easy. We do have space shuttles (sorta, they're de-commissioned). And we are working on ways to get to Mars. If you're a bacteria, then yeah, you can't really invent a way to get to Earth. But our current theory is that something smashed into Mars, putting it's soil into space, traveling along random paths, and one or maybe more hit Earth in it's early state of being made. It sounds crazy, but we're going to need more evidence. There are meteorites form mars on Earth. 120 of them out of the over 61,000 on earth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martian_meteorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
