The 'Space Architects' of Mars | The Age of A.I.

Nice to see them thinking, too bad they don't ask me, lol!  I would have told them to save some of their money and instead of thinking in terms of building, they should think, instead, in terms of digging.  Think about it, digging involves using a lot less material, thus you can create much greater/larger spaces and with very little material as a coating for sealing and aesthetic purposes.



I've seen that they're now speculating correctly about where life on Mars is likely to be found.  Okay, here's the skinny: life on earth did not start with an environment we call habitable today.  In fact life's beginnings would be quite a bit outside of what we'd consider to be the "Goldilocks Zone".  If there ever was life on Mars, it would have started outside of our imagined ranges and finished even further away as time progressed.  Were there liquid water on Mars it would have created much the same weathering features it does on earth, transporting and dropping limestone for example.  There would be lava tubes and aquifers around the planet and as the planet cooled the retreating heat would draw the water and life down with it.

There are so many variables with chemistry that I'm inclined to think that there may be other chemical solutions that can encode for life, than just carbon based forms.  Since different temperatures and pressures yield entirely different results for what elements can do.  What I do realize is this; certain combinations of atoms / elements have an effect on quantum level mechanics and that is probably why we have chemical compounds that are able to spontaneously replicate themselves.

Well, enough for now, but know that there is more, a whole lot more coming as I watch and learn. Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed it.

P.S. Yes there is life on Mars and it is likely we'll find it if we look in the right places.
In case you're thinking of life needing our conventional requirements, watch and listen carefully to this: Hydrogen + CO2 metabolizing organisms anyone?
