[kj] OT: New scientifical evidenc of Life on Mars

[Brendan Quinn]

I don't think there's any reason to believe that Mars has any different
rules of physics than earth.not in terms of our knowledge of its elements
(insofar as what we know about the elements, which is admittedly incomplete
at the quantum level, but we do know broadly how they work at the macro
level), and the energy forces that act on it (the electromagnetic radiation
it's subject to, the gravity it exerts and that is exerted upon it, and the
nuclear forces that hold its atoms together.).

 

We can predict it's trajectory through space with a high degree of accuracy
within x thousands / millions of years, based on our understanding of the
effects (not cause) of gravity.

 

And to me it seems logical to look for life on other planets based on
looking for artificial structures, whether they look like human faces or not
is irrelevant. I'm not defending the guy's methods or findings at all, just
saying that I think science is the best bet we have for finding evidence of
life on mars, and I don't think there's much bias involved in using the
scientific method as our main tool. Nor any reason to expect that the rules
of physics are any different anywhere else in the universe.we just don't
have a proper grasp of them yet (understatement).

 

Science is a self-correcting mechanism for seeing the world as accurately as
possible.

  It seems a little too much projection of ourselves into deep space.  I'm
skeptical how 

a totally different paradigm from our own world here on earth can so neatly
be explained 

so early on by only our own scientifical principles and experiences, and
without even knowing 

more of Mars' possibly bizarrely different physics (and biology) rules and
principles.

 

That said, i'm staying tuned for more.
