The internet is once again going crazy with conspiracy theories after an image of a perfect 'square structure' was found on the surface of Mars.
So grab your tinfoil hats, as it's time to investigate further.
One of our closest planetary neighbours and likely the best contender to support human life in our solar system (after Earth, of course), Mars has long been a source of major fascination for humans.
Major Hollywood blockbusters have seen humanity colonise it, H.G. Wells made it the home of hostile invaders and Donald Trump has even promised to plant the US flag on it. There truly is no place like Mars.
Which is why any news or conspiracy theories about the planet instantly go viral.
The latest Mars news to capture our attention is the appearance of a mysterious square like structure discovered by NASA.
Images of the grey, almost too perfect 'object' began to do the rounds several days ago on social media, with Joe Rogan even weighing in with the comment: "This is f**king WILD."
Naturally the appearance of a structure which appears to be 'man-made' would send the internet into overdrive, with believers quick to use the image as proof of a long-lost alien civilisation.
Meanwhile the logical (or non-believers, depending on which side of the argument you fall on) will brush it off as an over-exaggeration.
What do we know about the Mars square structure?
First of all, the structure is actually very real - having been captured by NASA's Mars Orbiter Camera back in 2001. You can find a link to the fully zoomed out segment here.
What is it? (NASA) The image was taken from a tiny slice of a crator on the planet, with the square itself being found at the top.
So why are we all suddenly fascinated by the Mars square?
Now this isn't the first time we've been fascinated by a seemingly unnatural structure on the Red Planet, with internet sleuths claiming to have found everything from tunnels, faces and even Bigfoot knocking about in recent years.
This time it's the fact that many people are in disbelief that a near-perfect square shape could appear naturally and without the intervention of something (or someone).
But before you roll out the red carpet for aliens, it might be worth noting that straight lines aren't impossible in nature.
In fact, various replies to the original thread pointed out that natural wonders such as the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, the Eye of the Sahara and Turkey's 'Fairy Chimneys' could appear man-made to an alien visitor.
Regardless, the image has since come to the attention of resident Mars fanatic Elon Musk, who will no doubt be more than happy to send SpaceX there if he gets the chance.
He responded to Rogan's tweet: "We should send astronauts to Mars to investigate!"

” ... Ritz crackers ... “
I had a Ritz cracker yesterday. It seemed a lot smaller than I remember. Shrinkflation?
There is not a right angle anywhere on your body.
LOL == kind of like the DNA sample
“1 in 2 Billion, sir.”
“Sooooo.... 2 or 3 other persons, that are NOT the defendant and alive right now could have produced the sample tested?”
I would expect the Stone-Cutters to be involved as well.

The buzz around the “square structure” on Mars has certainly captured the imagination of many, leading to a flurry of speculation and commentary across social media and various online platforms. Here are some thoughts and considerations based on the available information:
Scientific Perspective:
Natural Formation: Many scientists and experts argue that the structure is likely a natural geological feature. Mars has a history of showing various shapes and formations due to natural processes like erosion, wind, and geological movements. The human brain is wired to recognize patterns, a phenomenon known as pareidolia, which can make natural formations appear more structured or artificial than they are.
Previous Misinterpretations: There have been numerous instances where features on Mars have been misinterpreted as evidence of alien life or structures. Examples include the “Face on Mars” from Viking Orbiter images, which was later shown to be a natural rock formation under different lighting conditions.
Need for Further Investigation: While the image has sparked interest, the scientific community often calls for more data. Close-up images, different angles, or even a physical exploration could clarify whether this is a natural occurrence or something more unusual.
Conspiracy and Public Reaction:
Viral Nature of Conspiracy Theories: The internet thrives on sensational content, and anything suggesting alien life or hidden civilizations on Mars instantly garners significant attention. This is amplified by endorsements or comments from high-profile individuals like Joe Rogan.
Public Fascination with Mars: Mars has a special place in popular culture and science fiction, which fuels public interest in any new discovery. The mention of Donald Trump’s promise to plant a flag on Mars, though more symbolic, reflects how Mars captures political and cultural imagination.
Joe Rogan’s Influence: His comment on the structure being “wild” likely contributed to the spread of the story due to his large following and interest in topics that challenge conventional narratives.
Social Media and Public Discourse:
Posts on X: There’s a mix of skepticism and belief on platforms like X, with some users insisting on natural explanations while others entertain the possibility of ancient Martian civilizations or alien artifacts.
Trending Topics: The conversation around this ‘square structure’ has been trending, showing how quickly such stories can gain traction, especially when linked to broader themes like space exploration, extraterrestrial life, and government secrecy.
Conclusion:
While the excitement around this discovery is understandable, it’s crucial to approach such findings with a balance of curiosity and skepticism. The scientific method demands evidence and peer review before jumping to conclusions. Until more definitive data or analysis is available, the square structure on Mars remains an intriguing mystery but not yet evidence of anything beyond natural geological processes. The enthusiasm, however, underscores our collective fascination with Mars and the potential for life beyond Earth.
“it’s hip to be square”. or so I heard on the radio.
You’re both crazy. It’s a box of matzah. Let my people go!
I would like to see an image that would show how this structure looks from much further away. This is in order to see if it is inside a crater, might help determine the age.
So grab your tinfoil hats, as it's time to investigate further.
No tinfoil needed to observe what simply *is* (then again, it's a weird little world out there):
• The "stand-out" shape is a reverse L, a reversal in the language of Punish.
• image date: Nov 4, 2001 -- 54 "Dan" [דן] days after 911, Day 55 ("Dan" = 54 and means judge; and "55 Saves Lives" is in the cultural memory pool of things that should not have been. People just don't want to slow down to take it EZ.)
• The final form of the Hebrew letter chaf looks like this:
Arial -- ך
Times New Roman --ך
It's all in the timing. Ask a comedian.
These values are noteworthy in Jewish circles because
1. 770 is the address of Chabad headquarters, and the coordinating 770 gematria is "Beis Moshiach" [בית משיח], House of the Messiah.
2. 235 is the number of lunations in a Metonic cycle of ~ 19 solar years. Or, why the Jewish calendar [of lunar months] adds 7 months over the span of 19 solar years, to keep in alignment with the Sun/agricultural seasons.

On a more personal note (EZ🗝️L), because it's all very simple:
The Allen key ["מפתח אלן"] is the "El-nun" key. It = 609, a strobogrammatic number, "rotationally symmetric, so that it appears the same when rotated 180 degrees") --
A hex key (also, hex wrench, Allen key and Allen wrench, Unbrako or Inbus) is a simple driver for bolts or screws that have heads with internal hexagonal recesses (sockets).
Hex keys are formed from a single piece of hard hexagonal steel rod, having blunt ends that fit snugly into similarly shaped screw sockets. The rods are bent to 90º, forming two arms of unequal length resembling an "L". The tool is usually held and twisted by its long arm, creating a relatively large torque at the tip of the short arm; it can also be held by its short arm to access screws in difficult-to-reach locations and to turn screws faster at the expense of torque.[1]
>>>
Some features of hex keys are:
• The tool is simple, small and light.
• The contact surfaces of the screw or bolt are protected from external damage.
• There are six contact surfaces between bolt and driver.
• Very small bolt heads can be accommodated.
• The tool allows the use of headless and recessed-head screws.
• The screw can be held by the key while it is inserted into its hole.
• The torque applied to the screw is constrained by the length and thickness of the key.
• The tool is cheap to manufacture, so it can be included with products requiring end-user assembly.
• Either end of the tool can be used to take advantage of reach or torque.
• The tool can be reconditioned by grinding off the worn-out end.
I'm heavily invested in these sorts of details, because a Sol is a Mars Day:
And as everybody knows, Ezekiel's Temple is too big for the Temple Mount. ❤️😉❤️
That depends.... before or after Viagra?.............
You’re the only one to state what should be obvious.

According to several AI calculations, the base of this Square structure is estimated to measure 235 meters on each side (approximately 770 feet). Interestingly, the width of the Great Pyramid in Egypt is nearly identical, at about 230 meters.
Some experts argue that the Martian structure even shares the same 51.5-degree slope as the Great Pyramid, suggesting that the same advanced builders, or even a common alien civilization, designed both structures using identical architectural plans.
Appears to be man made? Rather arrogant and presumptuous. On the other hand, straight lines do not appear in nature, so it may very well have been made by intelligent beings not of Earth.
