Well.. is THIS theory plausible..about Mars?

Question

So Mars is indeed farther away than Earth to the sun, and the ordit is indeed eliptical and YES the timeframes involved for a minor step towards being SUNFOOD is possibly thousands or millions of years and thus not yet properly recorded.. and possilbe not able to even BE recorded..

BUT who said all the planets are the same?? Who says ALL life survives with Earths atmosphere exclusively??? A tweak here and a tweak there and new discoveries will show that life can live in atmospheres slightly different from Earth.. Dont we adapt?? Doesnt LIFE adapt??? Didn't we find martians?? Anyone?? Did THEY adapt?? They must have..

The fact only Earth currently contains proven life does not exclude that life can one day form on another planet, nor that life on earth will become extinct,and if there IS water on Mars, then couldn't earth creatures who only need water to survive be able to swim freely in the Martian sea and could they then not start a chain reaction which could breed more life?

Answer 1

Of course your theory is plausible...... but have you seen the glass tunnels on Mars? Very convincing evidence of possible past or even present underground life..... and don't discount the evidence of the pyramids on Mars, and the pyramids here..... Mars could have been a stopping off point or another base for other civilizations who were colonizing.

Answer 2

I have often wondered the same thing, why are scientists on earth so convinced life "needs" water to survive? I agree, I think there are probably many forms of life that the scientific community might overlook when exploring on other planets. In fact, its now believed the Viking explorers to Mars, back in the seventies, which among other things screened the soil for carbon lifeforms, may have missed something. Future rovers and landers will have a new test that some believe might show that microbial life does exist on mars.

I would like to address the "Glass Tubes" theorist as well - those images are actually valleys, canal-like depressions. Its an optical illusion caused by an unconscious assumptin that that the light in the photo is coming from "up" when in fact, its coming from behind and below the camera. Its like looking at a shaded drawing of a hemishpere, you can make it look concave or convex by just making your brain see it differently. I've listed one of the best debunking sites on the internet below. This guy tells you why the moon landings were real, why the theories against it are misinformed and why Richard Hoagland should probably be taken with a grain of salt.

Back to this question though, the reason water and atmosphere are so important for scientists is because, though we arent' sure life can't exist elsewhere, we know it exists EVERYWHERE in our environment. The belief being that a similiar environment couldn't help but produce life. Silly if you ask me. Titan and Europa, though very very different from earth, actually share a lot of features that would seem to promote life. Liquid oceans and solid earth, atmospheres, volcanism. It seems ridiculous to me too that life could only exist in an earth like environment. But our current tools are only to the point where we can find similar planets, the hope being that life would go there first.

Earth creatures who only need water on earth would still die on Mars - fish still breath oxygen and sea plants and microbes still need sunlight - more than Mars gets. Further, liquid water cannot exist on mars except possibly below the surface because it is too cold. But that doesn't mean that some carbon dioxide breathing entity doesn't live sightless and soundless in an underground lake on mars.

Life on earth will certainly go extinct. At the very latest when the earth crumbles away or gets sucked into the sun or smashed by a comet - much more likely when we blow ourselves up and kill ourselves off with storebought flu viruses. Humanity's only hope is to get off this Rock as soon as possible.

Evolution takes too long for a single generation to survive such a drastic change.

Answer 3

There absolutely could be life on mars right now in my opinion.
It just does not have to be the typical two/four leg two eye creatures that we think of when we think of 'life'.
martians might look like dustflakes ......I have not heard of any earth creature that needs only water to survive (please name) so I dont know that transportation of a creature to mars will work but I do agree that it should be given a try. The process of evolution that your describe takes place over millions of years so dropping a creature off and saying adapt will NOT work. There are components to water and air the are unique to earth.....I do hope I am wrong

Answer 4

There are no martian seas at present, and likely never again. Most of Mars is colder than Antarctica and has much, much less air than the top of Mt. Everest. Some extreme single-celled organisms may be able to survive under such conditions, but they are far from suited to any complex Earth life.

Answer 5

The real question for us is "what is life" At what point does material become life? Could there be life outside of earth? I think the odds of it are rather high. A super nova about 2.8 million years ago could have pelted Mars with enough radiation to spurn cells to mutate and form basic building blocks of life, maybe even a real life.
But if you are looking for life on Mars, you should look in a microscope and look for single cell items. It may not be like life on earth. But it could be there.

Answer 6

Your diatribe leaves me speechless but I an inclined to agree in every detail.
