I guess the science wasn't settled after all...................

I’m always impressed by “science” articles that liberally use words like “could” and “might”. I guess the mad scramble for grant money means that these research groups have to constantly bombard the blogoverse with creative claptrap. It’s sad to see astronomy going the same route as medicine with the din of smart sounding horse-puckey.

At one time eugenics was “settled science”. “Brain chemical imbalance” is another example of senseless pseudo-scientific creative imagination. All you have to do is put a PhD behind the name and the media will print anything, no matter how obviously stupid.

Hmmm... water drains into the soil. What a bizarre theory!

Maybe that polar white stuff isn’t just CO2 after all.................

Well, Matt Damon didn’t find any water when he was abandoned there! (Very entertaining movie, I thought: Ridley Scott’s “The Martian” (2015)

Probably not on Mars. Given the low atmospheric pressure, the water boils off.

The Mars atmosphere is 96% co2. Why isn’t it experiencing runaway global warming?

Golly, another theory.

GREAT movie.

“Red Planet” (similar) also VERY GOOD!

“Mission To Mars” okay, not as good.

We need to figure out how to disrupt gravity and amplify gravity.

If we can disrupt gravity betwen the sun and Venus, Venus will leave orbit in a straight line. If we time it right we should be able to colide it into Mars making an Earth sized planet.

If we can amplify gravity between the sun and Mars, we should be able to move the orbit of Marvenus closer in. After it cools off some from the collision, of course.
We can then amplify the gravity between Mars and ice comets in the Oort cloud. Probably using Neptune first to get them started. Providing Mars additional water and atmosphere.

Venus doesn’t have a magnetosphere either, but solar radiation ionizes venus’s upper atmosphere, making an ionosphere, which gives it some protection. So I think an artificial ionosphere is in order.

Plus the two skills at gravity manipulation would allow us to make adjustments at will. Not only would be be able to adjust the orbit of the new Marvenus planet. But we could move Earth further from the sun as it expands before becoming a Supernova. And lots of practical uses here at home from launching rockets, maintaining the orbits of existing satellites, lifting the stars of my 600 lb life, hover boards, hover trikes, hover amphibious assault vehicles, etc.

Easy, just create and destroy MASS...................

Scientists have to dance this annoying two-step because of the "problem of induction", i.e. anything discovered from empirical observations can never be conclusive because there can always be something that was missed or is yet to be seen. This is often referred to as the "Black Swan" problem.

Scientists would like to pretend they are realists and are really discovering things like electrons, quarks, etc. However because they have never seen these things directly they are limited to being pragmatists, i.e. that which works is that which is true rather than that which is is true.

In order to continue to assuage the public and get grant money they have to claim they know things, but they also know that they can never know anything for sure. Thus the prevalence of all of the hedging words and phrases.

If the public understood that billions of dollars were spent to create CERN's particle collider and all that the scientists found were traces that strongly suggest there is a vibration in a field that might contribute to some of the mass in bosons, and they've arbitrarily decided to call that a Higgs "particle" then the public might not want to give them any more money.

The sun getting hotter due to sun spots would also impact Mars as well.
