    Mars Water
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a claim that a recent photograph shows flowing water on Mars, as highlighted in a Google News article. Observers note that the image depicts features resembling liquid movement, suggesting the presence of a liquid, possibly linked to recurring slope lineae. However, without spectral analysis, the identification of the substance as water remains uncertain. Participants acknowledge that while the features may not be directly indicative of water, they are expected to be associated with subsurface water. The conversation emphasizes the need for further investigation to confirm the nature of these Martian features.

An article on Google News intrigued me today: http://www.express.co.uk/news/scien...ter-FLOWING-surface-Mars-Nasa-Red-Planet-life

The man who pointed it out is editor for one of those conspiracy sites, but that doesn't make this particular claim any less convincing.

Is there other things on Mars that would create an affect like that? It's certainly not a shadow, and it appears like it came from a liquid, if you look at the sand and the shadows you can tell that it took the path of least resistance. I also notice at the end of it, there appears to be a small ridge where the water has pushed sand into shape, actually, if you look at other places along that ridge, I see the same affect.

Obviously without spectral analysis, one can not say it's water, but I see no way that shape can not be liquid, are there any other possible liquids on Mars?

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
This hypothesis of scientists about the origin of the mysterious signal WOW seems plausible only on a superficial examination. In fact, such a strong coherent radiation requires a powerful initiating factor, and the hydrogen atoms in the cloud themselves must be in an overexcited state in order to respond instantly. If the density of the initiating radiation is insufficient, then the atoms of the cloud will not receive it at once, some will receive it earlier, and some later. But then there...
