Comets are not a trivial thing to study up close and scientists have only landed on one so far. It doesn’t appear scanning for lifeforms was part of the mission (Rosetta).
They did prove it does contain pockets of cryogenic water ice below the surface, however.
Cryogenic ice enclosed in thick rock is as ideal a carrier of life through the cosmos you can get. It would block radiation better than any man made spacecraft. See my last post above.
Considering the almost impossible long odds of DNA developing on earth, then having compatible DNA develop in multiple parts of the universe, then make the incredible long journey through space (and survive that journey through a vacuum) and then all converge on earth, (after surviving the burn of re-entry), this theory sounds more like a C- high school paper.
The math of DNA on earth boggles the mind.
There are also folks who thing fungi is of non-terrestrial origin.
Freegards
Considering that interstellar space is a continuous bath of deadly radiation, I am skeptical.
Thick metallic rock would block radiation.
Cryogenic ice deep inside space rock is an ideal transport for life through the cosmos
Lol!!!
I wonder what it could have accomplished with a typewriter?
I agree! It’s like “we’ll, what happened BEFORE the Big Bang?”
“ Duhhhhh, we don’t know”.
Maybe God clapped his hands?
It has to be 100% absolutely correct. It’s science and Americans are told every day. Put the mask on. Take the shot. It’s settled science just like climate change
It’s all the same space, earth is just one of a billion spots in this area of space. This doesn’t sound weird at all.
It’s no more strange than life moving to different areas of the planet itself. We think of space as foreign and empty when ‘space’ just contains the other rooms in our house.
>>I thought it was “Octopi”
Technically, since ‘octopus’ is of greek origin, the correct plural is octopodes. But both barbarisms ‘octopuses’ and ‘octopi’ are common.
You think that one tests science? Gather ‘round and allow me to tell you the tale of the “scientists” who claimed that the vaccinated were in danger because some people chose not to take the vaccine that didn’t protect the vaccinated in the first place. The contorted logic in that story will melt your brain better than any time travel yarn.
That is why Ringo wrote Octopuses Garden. He’d heard a similar story. Appears they do make decorative gardens.
Except I can get to any room in my house in under 5 minutes. Traveling millions of light years would take a bit more time. Don’t think I could hold it all the way to the bathroom
They are cousins of octopi, as are squid and nautilus...........
As computing and gene sequence reading becomes cheaper, the mysteries of evolution will be read like a book. If there is any odd outside influence, it will become obvious. Notice there aren’t any cartographers anymore? Technology replaced them with satellites. Same with geneticists, there will soon be no need for them — just look at the computer results.
In the year 2525........................
Octopus might be the strangest animal on earth.
They can change the texture and color of their skin at will. And because they have no bones, they can squeeze through any hole large enough for their eyeballs to pass through.
The motion of their arms is so complex, each arm has its own brain. Plus there’s a ninth brain for centralized control.
Their blood doesn’t use iron-based hemoglobin to carry oxygen, it uses copper-based hemocyanin, which makes their blood blue instead of red.
Despite the fact that parents play no role in their upbringing (=no teaching in infancy), despite the fact that most species only live for two years (the longest-lived only last for about four years), they demonstrate both problem-solving and tool use (but not tool creation).
If there’s an animal that deserves to be the descendant of space aliens, ... it’s the octopus.
In the year 2025 more like.
Never go to bed after playing Space Invaders. The resulting dreams can affect your judgement.
