Time To Put On Your Tin Foil Hat!

New analysis of 36-year-old data, resuscitated from printouts, shows NASA found life on Mars, an international team of mathematicians and scientists conclude in a paper published this week.Further, NASA doesn't need a human expedition to Mars to nail down the claim, neuropharmacologist and biologist Joseph Miller, with the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, told Discovery News. "The ultimate proof is to take a video of a Martian bacteria. They should send a microscope -- watch the bacteria move," Miller said."On the basis of what we've done so far, I'd say I'm 99 percent sure there's life there," he added.

It makes sense. There are so many stars and planets in the universe it's unbelievable. You would have to be on drugs to think we are not alone. I think they are real but they don't tell us because it would shatter the fabric of our society. What do you guys think?

You would have to be on drugs to think we are not alone.

Hmm... I think that logic is backwards.

[threetonesun]

What do you guys think?

I think there's bacteria everywhere, given the range of places we've found them on Earth, it's not surprising that they would be found on semi-hospitable planets. I mean, I'm not expecting them on Jupiter, or some sci-fi Sun dragons or higher order space people in our own solar system that we haven't run into yet, but bacteria? Sure, not surprised by that.

I read this the other day and it all sound rather interesting. I have read that certain flu viruses are claimed to originate from "outer space", so I suppose something as close to us as Mars is, it is quite possible.

[Hum]

I think weird aliens use Mars as a base. :alien:

We haven't found anything up to now, even on Mars, which is very similar to Earth, so I'd say it's unlikely there's any life except on Earth. Time will tell, but I've seen no definitive explanation of how life began. So how can its chance of occurring elsewhere even be estimated?

[shakey]

Life outside of our planet has to be around, in some shape or form. Just too much out there for this planet to be the only one... Now, the bigger question, is how big of a chance is there that Intelligent life is actually out there. There are many shapes and types of life, and intelligence is just but one of many paths a species can take.

Depending on what you consider is "alive", then I think its naive to think we're "alone". Unless anything alive must look like this then fair enough:

Science in this department is probably hidden away from the public. Religion may play a part in that decision (in respect to public panic as it opens more questions then it answers).

I consider myself being quite paranoid, yet I do not see what exactly in this case warrants me to reach for my tin foil hat. Which I happen to have, just for kicks. Unlike the whole Moon kaboodle, for instance, this currently looks like a science in progress, going a normal course. Now if they had intentionally burned and buried the data, it'd be another thing, but it's not. It's entirely possible that there were already some opposition even among scientists, but this thing there is actually a pretty meaningless piece of information.

Shatter the what-the-f of our society? Please, it's so shattered already. We have firm believers of almost anything imaginable, including that aliens are among us and we ourselves are aliens, a few bits of science will do no harm. It might matter more later, when the bacteria is actually found, isolated, delivered to Earth, found to be very potent cure/infection, adapts to Earth conditions and finds it way more favorable, goes out of hand and enslaves us all... *ehm*... but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

[Hum]

The Aliens told us.

That's Mr. Burns

[Rippleman]

the religious folk will always say we are alone.

[Shadrack]

Precisely this.

[Hum]

^ What about Jesus ?

[KillTheIrishman]

I myself believe in God. How else do you explain the universe? The "Big Bang" as a theory is all good and well but if you broaden your thought process, it's not logical. At the same time I can see a spectical's reasoning. I say believe what you will and end the arguement of what if this and then what if that. My 2 cents.

What about it isn't logical? It's the most logical conclusion we have.

[44MLX]

I personally believe there is other life than us, but I wonder who will reach the other first?

[KillTheIrishman]

How so? Please explain to me how we came into being? I don't know and no other human being does as well. The logical answer is that we don't. I firmly beleive that there is something else that is "there". God, Jesus or whatever you believe. Ultimately I beleive in a peace that we all should strive toward. Love is the everything that everyone should strive for. Just putting up a few points.

The aliens would have Alienware! Lol.

The Big Bang Theory doesn't explain how life started, just how the Universe was created. The Universe probably lay dormant for hundreds of millions of years, before life emerged. And even then it was merely single-cell organisms.

Just because we don't know the answer yet, doesn't mean the only logical answer is to believe some magical sky-wizard snapped his fingers and made us into being. If mankind took that approach then we wouldn't have advanced very far.

As for love and all that, being a good person doesn't take religion, its naturally wired into most peoples personalities.

How exactly does one broaden their thought process enough to see that scientifically backed theories are no longer logical?

You are correct, we don't know, so why believe in anything? I think it's better to keep a blank mind until proven otherwise.

Religion aside, alien lifeforms exist somewhere in space, this cannot be disproved. Wololo!

Dell will be sued.
