Can we find erosion patterns on Mars, which will lead us to where life is? Find life on the Mars Desert Landscape is proving to be a little problematic for the NASA Mars Rover, but this does not mean it does not exist. After all there is even life in the Gobe Desert here on Earth, although it is very scares. Perhaps this is the same on Mars. If we use this approach to finding such patterns, then exactly what should we be looking for? Can we predict the patterns which will most likely lead us to life or provide clues as to where we should be looking? Predicting patterns is not as difficult as it seems really if we start at the beginning and look forward rather than look at the now and try to figure the how. Is it possible to have nearly the same patterns of erosion in more than one place, planet or region? I would submit that it is possible. They say no two fingerprints are the same, yet, we now know that is not true, some are so similar that recognition software cannot tell them apart. In fact people have been convicted of crimes having similar fingerprints. We should be looking at all the patterns of erosion on the Earth and Mars, perhaps these regions share something in common? Perhaps the electromagnetic signatures of the rocks or resonance of the ion bonding and the acoustic pattern created by wind are similar. Just like two fingerprints contain some sort of genetic similarities. Would the study of patterns of erosion help us in studying liquid flows, locating minerals for mining, oil for extraction, finding areas of healthy areas for organic growth? We should be thinking here and admit that there is life on Mars and then start looking for where it might be, perhaps under the surface in ground water or in a drainage area or under a dried up lake, where the life will spring back to life when the water comes again. Think on this. |
