Liquid water on Venus in early history.

AI Thread Summary
Venus may have had liquid water in its early history, but confirming this is challenging due to the planet's rapid transition to a runaway greenhouse effect. Unlike early Earth, which experienced volcanic activity and ice ages that helped regulate its climate, Venus underwent a swift and extreme change. The discussion includes a quote by Sir Oliver Lodge, suggesting that comprehension of existence is limited, but this analogy is deemed inappropriate for the context of intelligent life and the universe's creation. The complexities of understanding what exists beyond our planet remain a significant topic of inquiry. Overall, the potential for early liquid water on Venus raises intriguing questions about planetary evolution and climate dynamics.

Did Venus have liquid water in it's early history?
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
That is possible, but, difficult to ascertain. The runaway greenhouse effect on venus happened very rapidly after it formed. On early earth, vulcanism and successive ice ages moderated this effect.
 
"A fish cannot comprehend the existence of water. He is too deeply immersed in it. - Sir Oliver Lodge"

this quote should be modified, you can't possibly relate this quote to intelligent life and the creation of the universe, we know what's outside of our planet, we comprehend that things exist, but why they exist is what lies beyond our way of thinking, hence the creation of the universe
 

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

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?'

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...
