So here's the big news. NASA scientists are touting new fossil evidence of extra-terrestrial life.
Thing is, I'm reasonably confident that NASA has already discovered life outside of Earth. Life currently surviving beyond the Earth.
Surprise at a Comet Visited by NASA: A Snowstorm
They say the carbon dioxide`from this comet is "primordial" -- meaning it has survived from the creation of the comet.
Now I don't know about you but I think that extremely unlikely. Given a finite supply of any substance, it is infinitely more probable to encounter any single one-time reservoir after it has been exhausted than to encounter that reservoir within the finite time before it has been exhausted. This is particularly so when our Solar System would seem jam-packed with empty reservoirs.
Some might argue it is inevitable that some reservoirs would remain, and that by probing comets we are selecting for the active reservoirs. Perhaps. Though there seems no theory to account for that.
The only true inevitability is that all reservoirs must eventually be exhausted and the odds continue to favor us living in the time when they are.
So that any reservoirs persist I consider still an anomaly.
I therefore suggest that the carbon dioxide and water on comets is being renewed and that the basis of this renewal cannot be any exhaustible energy source.
What is the source?
Carbon dioxide is being produced from Oxygen.
Oxygen is being produced by photosynthesis.
If not Photosynthesis -- solar energy is powering a biological process of some kind, which is producing carbon dioxide. The comet is not being consumed by this process.
The comet is the shelter for the creatures within (bacteria), which are converting heat or radiation into food. More than one type of creature is present. A rich ecology lives within each of the spheres
The simplest, most plausible explanation for the continued presence of carbon dioxide inside a comet is the presence of biological life.
