Ontopic So it seems there may indeed be life on comet 67P

[Jimmycrackcorn]

Wow..... If true, that would fit the pieces together nicely

Several features on a comet being explored by the European Space Agency's Philae lander indicate it could be home to alien life, according to two astronomers.

While the comet has a black crust darkening much of its surface, astronomers have spotted evidence that 67P has an underlying icy structure, including icy seas and craters containing frozen lakes with organic debris.

The findings from Max Wallis and Chandra Wickramasinghe will be presented today at the Royal Astronomical Society's national meeting in Wales. The astronomers said evidence from the comet points to the possibility it could be home to micro-organisms.

“Five hundred years ago it was a struggle to have people accept that the Earth was not the center of the universe," Wickramasinghe said, according to The Guardian. "After that revolution our thinking has remained Earth-centered in relation to life and biology. It's deeply ingrained in our scientific culture and it will take a lot of evidence to kick it over."

Nope. That scientist, and i use that word lightly is known for being hyperbolic. He claims that SARS is extraterrestrial, and a number of other crazy shit.

Theres no actual evidence.

Panspermia has been an accepted theory for decades. It's the only thing that makes sense.

making sense, and being able to prove it, are two entirely different things

Accepted? It's a theory at least...

 

[my little brony]

both of you are wrong, it's a hypothesis and it hasn't been "accepted" because there's no direct evidence yet

it makes sense but so does life originating on earth. suggesting panspermia is the only thing that makes sense leads to asking "so how did that life originate on the planet it came from?"
