Dubh Aingeal Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 From what sounds like the opening of an X-Files episode, Canadian scientists have reportedly found in a meteorite organic matter older than the sun at Tagish Lake in Canada. From the article: We mean that the material in the meteorite has been processed the least since it was formed. The material we see today is arguably the most representative of the material that first went into making up the solar system." The meteorite likely formed in the outer reaches of the asteroid belt, but the organic material it contains probably had a far more distant origin. The globules could have originated in the Kuiper Belt group of icy planetary remnants orbiting beyond Neptune. Or they could have been created even farther afield. The globules appear to be similar to the kinds of icy grains found in molecular clouds — the vast, low-density regions where stars collapse and form and new solar systems are born.' The article implies that life could potentially survive in these meteorites and maybe even travel through space — supporting the theory that life may have arrived on earth and evolved from that point on.
Homicidalheathen Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Its invasion of the body snatchers I tells ya..... I always wondered what could happen with advances in space travel......that one of our rockets or satelites would find some strange new world with life..... And wipe everything out accidently by spreading some wierd bacteria just by visiting...... Hell, lets shoot some garbage out into space and see what happens....ya know?
Zenji Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I'm sure this strongly supports some of the age old theories of Panspermia and Exogenesis. (Basic theories that life evolved elsewhere in the cosmos, not necessarily on earth.) Some of the theories are interesting too... some think that organic matter constantly hit the earth from the cosmos and influences the ever evolving composition of matter (creating new diseases and such). Say this meteorite with organic matter from Neptune deposited trace amounts of some (as yet undetectible or unknown element) which may by itself be inert but when infused with Oxygen becomes some kind of catalyst creating something deadly?
Homicidalheathen Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Or something with 20 legs thats green and slimey and uses mind control to lure its victims....muhwahaha!
Zenji Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Yeah. Some of the more fanatic Panspermia freaks think that aliens brought life to earth (some modern movies with Panspermia tendancies "War of the Worlds, Mission to Mars". I'm sure there's millions more movies but it's still kind of a funny subject when you think about it. Kind of also fits in with some of the more mundane theories presented in Aliens and Predator movies about "breeding" life on planets so it can be studied. All the old panspermia folks were basic (life originated elsewhere) but the true crazies are like, aliens are breeding us!! I even wrote a movie script where Angels started appearing on the planet conducting miracles and shit, then start killing off the "unworthy". All the most vile people on the planet banned together to fight off the Angels only to find that the coming of the Messiah was purpotrated by an alien race that actually invented Christianity to make it easier for them to take over the world. It was cheesy but fun in a way.
Homicidalheathen Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 What I want to know is.....why are cow entrailes so interesting to aliens??? Heh.
kellygrrrrrl Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Wow, that is amazing!! Thanks for sharing!
