British Scientists Claim to Have Found Proof of Alien Life

. . . Jupiter's moon Titan has long been thought to be a likely location to find life forms. Titan is covered in ice and has an internal heat source. The torsion of a changing gravitational pull from orbiting that massive planet generates enough heat within the moon that it is thought to hold a vast liquid ocean underneath the ice. If there's life within comets then Titan is guaranteed to have been infected. The stable environment it provides would allow enough time for multicellular life to evolve. . .

Now imagine if intelligent life evolved beneath the crust. What would it do to their world/universe view to be contacted from outside? Outside might not even be a concept to them. Good stuff man.

These are thought to have originated from a comet. The samples are single cells. I think it's a good chance that they are all single celled organisms. Unless comets have an internally generated heat source we don't know about, these organisms would spend most of their time frozen solid in cold cold ice while the comet completes it's orbit out in the farthest reaches of the solar system. Only during the short time it approaches the sun would the comet warm and have liquid water in which these organisms could do their thing. Think of Halley's comet with it's 75 year cycle. Debris from Halley's is what they hope to capture with the next sampling mission.

Each comet would likely have it's own unique set of single celled life. But comet based meteoric debris is everywhere within the inner solar system. And any planetary body or moon will have been bombarded many times in it's life. One explanation for the origin of Earth's water is that in it's early history Earth was heavily bombarded by comets.

If there's life within comets then Titan is guaranteed to have been infected. The stable environment it provides would allow enough time for multicellular life to evolve.

Venus would have been colonized before it became a hell hole. Mars would have been thriving before it lost it's atmosphere. If true, there must be single celled organisms under Mars' surface. Single celled life forms have been found within rock in Earth's deepest mines.

At the farthest reaches of our solar system is the Oort Cloud composed of comets. With close encounters the gravitational interactions occasionally bump one out of it's stable orbit and it ends up in the cycle of swinging close to the sun. Are the perpetually frozen comets out there which never swing in near the sun infected?

Its going to be really interesting when they examine the DNA in these things. This is going to create a revolution in the field of biology. If comets are ubiquitous in any planetary system, I think this would mean that anywhere in our universe that life could survive, it probably does.


like the scientist in the article says, these kind of discoveries, if true, will make the whole understanding of carbon-based organic life to be thought-over again under new paradigms.

when we think of life, at least within the parameters of modern-day science, we think of carbon-based organisms.

but who is to say for sure that there cannot be biological organisms not based on carbon? who rely on a different parameter for a suitable ecosystem to thrive in?

lets not even get started on the possibilities of intelligent non-organic life...

LOL !

I'm going to love hearing the creationists try to spin this one.

The "God created everything" argument is always gonna be valid no matter how much you know about the universe.

Why? Because the thing is, you can't create something out of nothing.

Scientist believe dark matter created the universe.
If dark matter created the universe, who/what created dark matter?

There is no such thing as "it's always been there" because you can't create something out of nothing, someone has to design it and give it a purpose.

You can't just go from having a blank piece of paper to magically having a drawing.

It's a never ending question.

I am pretty sure that life on earth came from an engineer drinking a strange black goo, mutating his dna into what is now all life on earth.

As the movie prometheus shows.
 
Hate to rain on everyones parade, but this isn't science, or good science anyways. No, I haven't read the paper myself, but I can tell you right now the the mere fact that it was published in the "Journal" of Cosmology almost certainly means this is going to turn out to be completely and utterly wrong. The JOC is a place to publish a paper when every other legitimate scientific journal has rejected your paper. And why would they do that? Bad science.

Mark my words. This will be nothing.

I fucking love science, when its done right.

Microbes are big news eh? There has been evidence that plagues occurred after comets passed by. It makes sense that we would have no immunity to strange stuff.

The big news is about the intelligent aliens that have been living on Earth for a long time.

When I was 7 an alien telepathic message told me that they were here and that there were a million of them on Earth. He also told me that they were here to help us.

Later in life I saw UFOs and I know they arent just out there. They are here! Bog
 
"journal of cosmology"

red flag alert ,red flag alert


"
The Journal of Cosmology is a supposedly-scientific journal.[2] It was established in 2009, and, despite a press release claiming they were storming out in a huff as of May 2011,[1] is publishing to the present.
In his comments on the 2011 "bacteria in a meteorite" brouhaha, PZ Myers described it thus: "the ginned-up website of a small group of crank academics obsessed with the idea of Hoyle and Wickramasinghe that life originated in outer space and simply rained down on Earth."[3] Unsurprisingly, it is not in fact peer reviewed,[4] despite claiming to be. "

Always look for a simple answer first and work up from there. We fly through many debris patches in space and get predictable showers.... It isn't beyond simple reason to explain this material as having been emplaced into our planets orbit during large impact events. A large impact event can blow off the earths atmosphere tangentally to the surface, exposing the impact site and plume to the vacuum of space and venting material far out, it is thought that some of this material can get half way to the moon before raining back in. We know this to be true as the concentration of impact transformed mineral grains from the k/t event, was high in samples in Australia on the other side of the planet, ejected out and reentering on the other side of our tilted planet. So we know ejecta makes it into space from this and also meterorites from Mars, etc so what is more likely? A patch of extraterrestrial debris that we fly through regularly containing a common terrestrial organism or a patch of debris left by one of many large impacts?



2 great posts from another site on the subject , people are far to willing to believe things before they check out how reliable the source is :ying:

Well it was over fifty years ago and I haven't seen any UFOs lately. Haven't run into any more aliens that I was aware of but the one I met looked like any man in a suit.

I expect a telepathic message anytime though and I keep looking up at night hoping to see one. I would be happy to collaborate with our space brothers because they are benevolent and here to help us. We must be an uplift project of some do gooders who need to show their positive contribution to keep their broadcasting license or something like having a Peace Corps. Bog :)

Nobody ever told me any of this was secret...

What I've always liked about this place is that when needed, somebody who really knows their shit is going to come out of the woodwork and speak up. Glad you guys are still here.
