What is 'life'?
Would you know it if you saw it??
by Cadaverinfinate universe lol you have just totally abandoned the scientific method at this point
Le meme lighting makes water right?
And where else do you suppose it comes from, Cadaver, the worshipper of the scientific method scientific scripture.
Hmnnn... interesting stuff...

The D and O18 contents of rain water are known to vary considerably with time and location. Dansgaard found a good correlation of the mean O18 content of rain with mean air temperature, which causes a latitudinal as well as a seasonal variation of O18 and a similar one for D. Under dry climatic conditions, as in South Africa, the D content appears to be strongly influenced by re-evaporation of the falling raindrops. This has the effect of obscuring the normal seasonal variations. The evaporation obviously takes place under kinetic conditions, thus increasing the separation factors especially for the oxygen isotopes. A detailed study of a thunderstorm in Heidelberg shows that here too evaporation causes an enrichment in D.
Maybe I will read into it more when I get the chance.
See, I retained high school science. Hypothesize, test, test, test.
Cadaver, I have to wonder how you come to conclusions. How do you do it, you, specifically? Maybe I am doing something wrong which you can help me with?
by TPGDo you think that currently life in space exists.
Yes, unless none of this is real.
Just kidding.
Really though, the universe is one big place, relative to things we consider to be large. I find it difficult to imagine there is not other life out there.
Sometimes I feel as if the whole world has taken bad drugs which has castrated thier sense of space and time.
The earth is gigantic, rock erodes, the oceans thinly layer the top, and over billions of years, I don't care how many billions of comets or asteroids you throw at earth, we'd see them all, along with the water they supposedly brang. Some comets would be large, and others small. We'd see huge crators, not just in a few places, but our surface would be pocked marked more severely than the moon, even after taking into account erosion. There is this, the late heavy bombardment period, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Heavy_Bombardment however, the moon is tidally locked with the Earth, which means one side is sheilded from any incoming comets, meaning one side of the moon should be totally void of impact craters, and it sort of is due to the mares, but really, it is not by comparison. Don't get me started on the Moon. There is no way it was knocked out of the Earth, if you ask me. It's a captured planet. There is no other way to put it. You don't see everyone screaming that Mars, Jupiter and Saturn had moons knocked out of them by asteroids, yet for some reason it dominates the minds of pop science.
Anyways, water. Not to mention, the deuterium content in water found in space asteroids is significantly different than that found in our oceans.
It falls in thunderstorms with varying amounts over both time and place. That should indicate that something is occurring in different parts of the sky to make water significantly different from the next bucket collected.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterium
Deuterium (symbol D or 2H, also known as heavy hydrogen) is one of two stable isotopes of hydrogen. The nucleus of deuterium, called a deuteron, contains one proton and one neutron, whereas the far more common hydrogen isotope, protium, has no neutron in the nucleus. It has a natural abundance in Earth's oceans of about one atom in 6,420 of hydrogen. Thus deuterium accounts for approximately 0.0156% (or on a mass basis: 0.0312%) of all the naturally occurring hydrogen in the oceans, while the most common isotope (hydrogen-1 or protium) accounts for more than 99.98%. The abundance of deuterium changes slightly from one kind of natural water to another (see Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_Standard_Mean_Ocean_Water
Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water (VSMOW) is a water standard defining the isotopic composition of fresh water.
Some water evaporates into the sky, and sometimes, hydrogen and oxygen combine in the skies with assistance of lighting to create water. Hydrogen + Oxygen + Energy = Water. How else would you prefer to explain the non homogeneous distribution of Deuterium across the surface of the Earth and no evidence of comets or impact creators to explain it. As if evaporation, tides and ground seepage alone wouldn't correct that issue over a few million years.
It's spatial thinking, that's probably why you remind me of spatial mind. My guess Edvard is that you can sum up people fairly well in a very analytical, or maybe instinctive way.
by cute kittena better question would be: is there life out there that even slightly resembles humans?
in all honesty i think theres an incredibly low likelihood of humanoid aliens existing
Yeah, agree with this. Very likely there's more life in the universe, but even on this planet just look how weird and diverse creatures are, even when compared to us. Imagine how much big environment differences like different gravity or air/water composition would change how life works and looks.
Mr Nu's style reminds me of Spatial Mind's. I saw one of MrNu's posts and when I scrolled up I expected to see Spatial Mind as the author.
