If there's enough stuff, nature will find a way to rot it :)
- pilsetnieks 6y agoThat's why Mars is all rotten through and through.
- nextaccountic 6y agoWell, perhaps it is? We don't know if there is life in Mars. Or if there was life at any point of its history.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoIt indeed is - it's rusted.
- pilsetnieks 6y agoRot is decomposition of organic matter; rust is a chemical reaction, oxidation, in fact.
- hobofan 6y agoThat may have been a pun on rust the fungus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(fungus) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(fungus)
- TeMPOraL 6y agoFrom practical point of view, rusting is just inorganic version of rotting via oxidizing agents. Both happen naturally over time, given appropriate environment, and both result in interesting/useful stuff turning into less interesting/useful stuff.
