My personal opinion is that water and magnetism are vital to biological survival and a link to all intelligence in the solar system. Some phenomenon takes place on a quantum level, when a planet is about to be destroyed a massive migration of the water from the planet takes place. If such phenomenon is proven it would explain a lot about emergence of life on our own world. Did Mars lose all of its water simultaneously as it lost it’s dynamo and magnetic field? While a lot is uncovered about the behavior and general physics of planets, a major understanding is lacking when we address the planet wide biology and life's interdependencey, in the rest of the solar system. our nearst neighbor Mars has been of interest because of its closeness and similarity We can hope that oil and other minerals still lie under some hidden feature on Mars, but what else would we find.
You will find much written on planetary evolution that deals with asteroid impacts and asteroids that cause mass extinctions, but most of these extinctions have been repeated on a timely intervals on our planet. Might this
also be true on other bodies in the solar system? Will we find nanosized life forms on the surface of Mars that define a new level of intelligence?
A recorded history of Mars exists; we just have to retrieve it. If we find a new life form on Mars that defies logic, would it make us less eager to use brazen generalization for explaining life?
Philosophy of connectedness is what I believe in and it is not something I do comfortably
Judging by what I see on a daily basis human beings are very easily mislead. They strive to gather information from so called informed sources and because they see it on television they convince themselves that it must be universal since majority believes in it. Like UFOs or ghosts or astrology We may find that reality is somewhat different at least when it comes to alien life forms as we call them.
