Does anyone here believe in bacteria from space?

Answer 1

Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe of Cardiff University, seems to think there is a strong possibility. in other articles i read about his theories he suggested that the flu epidemic of 1919 which kill 20 million people and recently the Sars virus could have came from space. i would need some concrete proof before i agree to his theories. because if he right it would suggest other possibilities such as more complex life forms and perhaps even intelligent life beside our own - Aliens but that another cans of worms that I'm keeping well clear of.
however the astronaut Buzz Aldrin on his mission to the moon was ask to recover a part (i believe it was a camera of the probe)of an earlier moon probe that landed there 18 months before hand for research to see how the equipment survive in space for a prolong length of time. back at the lab when they examine the part they found bacteria that was trap in the part during assembily, the trap bacteria froze when it got into space. so after a 18 months in space it sat there frozen. but whats interesting is back at the lab they were able to resuscitate the bacteria. proving that bacteria could survive in space for long periods of time. leading to you question if there were bacteria out there, it could survive in space and have the means to get to earth eg meteroites.
it has even been suggested that life on earth could had evolve from bacteria from space.
I don't know if I believe it 100% but the possibility is there.

Answer 2

The old peoples had tried with tenacity to understand the Universe, but they not yet had developed this conscience of the infinite life in the Land of Tarcísio Brito, where all species also the man have origin of the certainly ancestral hereditary succession, where the pursuing of the life (for the future) results in an arrival to the past of Daily pay-History; e that finishes in return to the gift of Our Historia. I circulate that one infinitely happens again in the Great Atom Universe, finite in its dimension and the infinite in its time. E you! Already it acquitted this conscience, or it prefers to believe other galaxies if finding?

Answer 3

Yes.
Along with showers of frogs, fish and hailstones!

The whirlwind theory doesn't hold water as the species in the drop are specific and clean ie no debris of any kind!
Also they are alive until they hit the ground which means they have been contained in their natural environment until then.

The world is very strange and wonderful and if we all stopped fighting about stuff that don't matter, we might have the energy to educate ourselves a little bit more!

Answer 4

Yes, we have Bacteria which live in the most hostile of places and there are billions of stars and planets out there so its quite possible there is bacteria out there too !!.

Answer 5

What do you mean, believe in it? It's been found on asteroids hitting the Earth , collected and studied.

Whether it has anything to do with the beginning of life on Earth approximately 4.6bn years ago is another matter...

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

The idea's an old one - panspermia goes back to about 500BC, though it was revived a few years ago. The "evidence" for it was very flaky though - the data were carefully selected.

Answer 8

Yes and I cannot wait for the tripods to come down and harvest all of us to terraform the planet.

Answer 9

Why not, there's life on Earth isn't there, so it's a certainty that life exists elsewhere in the universe!

Answer 10

They are called Bacterionauts.
