Our Earth -- A Glorified Interplanetary Vagabond

Post by charlesint »

Just as the existence of Neptune was discovered from deviations in the predicted orbit of Uranus, so also the existence of planet Erth could have been discovered, by non-earthlings, from the deviations in the predicted orbit of Mars. Reason: Neptune broke away from Uranus, just as Earth broke away from, or was displaced by Mars.

The Earth’s orbit is extraneous and illegitimate

Living creatures originated from organic matter lodged on a high-speed massive object that entered the solar system from outer space, and whose impact-collision broke off/displaced Erth from Mars!

There is nothing wrong with your theories about the origin of life. However, They are just that; theories. Life could have come from anywhere, as the facts stand.

The annunciatory tone is lost in your lack of verification, and the caps lock.(cite some websites or some books).

Also what do you want to discuss? There are a lot of people here with lots of opinions, and there is one way that theory could be right, and infinite ways it could be wrong. So it's not like there isn't a lot to discuss. Its your thread give it some direction, or someone else will!
~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
what is "organic matter" in this case?

Do you want to discuss potential directions in which to search for life; from the trajectories of the earth/mars split?

If you're a regular eater of the heavily salted snack treats known as Pringlestm it's curious to think that every one of those little plastic lids will be used just once and then spend 10,000 years in a landfill site, despite the fact that they're good for many years of use, except the lid of the very last tube that you consume before the apocalypse. I strongly suspect that one will be kept and used for various ingenious purposes for the rest of your life, necessity being the mother of invention and all.

Clearly you are not a singularitarian. I figure all the landfills have about a hundred years before they get picked apart by robots. So many good materials there.

Interesting idea. They already get picked apart by humans in places where there is sufficient poverty to generate the necessity. I guess the thing that determines whether they are picked apart is the cost of doing that versus the benefit of doing it. Presumably the cost to these future robots will be minimal.

When the metals needed for robot circuitry become scarce enough they will replace the humans - their poverty will be sufficient to generate the necessity.
