A team of British scientists is convinced it has found proof of alien life, after it harvested strange particles from the edge of space.
The scientists sent a balloon 27km into the stratosphere, which came back carrying small biological organisms which they believe can only have originated from space.
the Journal of Cosmology has had its reputation called into question more than once by other members of the scientific community.
Reliability
The quality of peer review at the journal has been questioned.[2][3][4][5][6][7] The journal has also been accused of promoting fringe viewpoints and speculative viewpoints on astrobiology, astrophysics, and quantum physics. Skeptical blogger and biologist PZ Myers said of the journal "... it isn't a real science journal at all, but is the... website of a small group... obsessed with the idea of Hoyle and Wickramasinghe that life originated in outer space and simply rained down on Earth.
British scientists have discovered a unique molecule called phosphine in the atmosphere of Venus. This molecule, which is typically produced by living organisms, has no known other source on the planet, leading scientists to believe that it could be a sign of microbial life on Venus.
The discovery was made using powerful telescopes located in Hawaii and Chile. The scientists observed the absorption of light at a specific wavelength, indicating the presence of phosphine in the Venusian atmosphere.
No, this is not the first time evidence of alien life has been found. In 1976, NASA's Viking landers detected chemical reactions in Martian soil that could potentially be attributed to microbial life. However, this finding was later dismissed as inconclusive.
This discovery has significant implications for the search for extraterrestrial life. It suggests that our current understanding of where and how life can exist may be too narrow, and opens up the possibility of finding life in unexpected places.
The next step for the British scientists is to conduct further research and investigations to confirm their findings and rule out any other possible explanations. This could include sending a spacecraft to Venus to collect samples or using more powerful telescopes to gather additional data.
