Signs of life detectable in single ice grain emitted from extraterrestrial moons
- bediger4000 3y agoAnother "soft" reveal of extraterrestrial life. The reveals are getting more and more specific. A grain of ice could tell us if life exists below the ice of a frozen world. How much more do we need to be told?
- defrost 3y agoAt least: * that signs of life have actually been detected for real, and * that life has actually been confirmed. Recall that within the past year or so a sign of life was detected within the spectral signature of the atmosphere of Venus. The wheels of science turn slow and this is still in the pipeline to properly confirm that it was a sign and if so whether that neccessarily implies actual life.
- gus_massa 3y agoIt was a very bad article. They fit a very noise data with a 12 degree polinomial, and found a pert where the fit was bad. The bad fit looked like a signal of phosphine, that is difficult to be made by non-life procces. I'm not sure if the paper was retracted, but it was just noise.
- bthallplz 3y agoWow, "detectable" but not "detected". I got really excited thinking the headline meant "detected."
- cwillu 3y agoYeah, I'm detecting signs of intelligence in the crafting of that grammatically true sentence, and I'm kinda disgusted by it.
