Did Mars Ever Have Oceans?
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Security, * New research implies that Mars, unlike Earth and the moon, likely never had a global magma of ocean. In recent years, it has been often theorized that Mars was once a wet and lush planet, perhaps even a water world. Such views, though, contradict what we see today—a desolate, red-tinged planet that is likely devoid of any life. Those theories that suggested Mars once had an abundance of water—and the possibility of supporting life—gained more newfound support in a recent study published in Nature Geoscience, which says that there were indeed two ... more »

Freedom can’t be kept for nothing. If you set a high value on liberty, you must set a low value on everything else.” —Roman philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Lockdowns are man-made, not how Nature heals Herself
Srikanth Hegde told us that the coronavirus hysteria isn't avoiding India. On the contrary. India – whose population is about 1.35 billion – has 1998 cases and 58 deaths now. So the virus is still basically non-existent there. The number of deaths per million people is 0.04. Compare it with Lombardy at 700. The ratio is about 18,000! The practical non-existence of the virus in the country hasn't prevented hundreds of millions of Indians from getting hysterical – in a similar enough way that we know in the West. Almost two weeks ago, PM Modi told the whole nation to clap their hands. ... more »
