Will the history of Mars repeat itself on Earth?

What is Mars' connection to Earth? Is there life on Mars? More than half a century after astronaut Neil Armstrong took man's historic first steps on the moon, another space race is heating up. This time, man is aiming to set foot on Mars. The term Mars migration is not new to you, right? It's a project to bring people to the Red Planet in accordance with billionaire Elon Musk's ambition. Is this possible? Isn't it the common human perception that life can only be found on Earth? Migration is a much bigger event than setting foot on Mars, not to mention the fact that humans have not yet set foot on Mars. What kind of planet is Mars to you? Is there a connection between Mars and Earth? Let's first turn our attention to the red neighbouring planet in our solar system. In the north-eastern part of the western hemisphere of Mars, there's an area of about 4.9 million square kilometres, which the US Geological Survey calls the Acidalia Planitia. From a distance, this area looks like a giant burning spot. Scientists are wondering why this area looks so different from the rest of Mars. Is there something mysterious here? Today we'll talk about life on Mars and its relationship with Earth. Before we continue, please subscribe to our channel Just Strange and press the bell to receive notifications of new content. The mystery of the Acidalia Planitia, anomalous radioactive elements. NASA launched a probe to this area at the start of the 21st century and discovered that this place has surprisingly high uranium and thorium content, both containing radioactive elements which are good nuclear fuel and usually found in the form of ore on Earth. But among the rocks of Mars, the content of both uranium and thorium is extremely low, and it is unlikely that the rover will detect them. So why have they been detected now? There is only one explanation. That is, these two elements are not found in underground rock formations, but on the surface of Mars. This situation is a bit like the nuclear accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Soviet Union in 1986. There were four nuclear reactors at the plant and one of them exploded. High doses of uranium isotope cesium-137 and strontium-90 and other radioactive materials were thrown onto the land. These highly radioactive elements turned the land into toxic soil. The situation is similar in the Acidalia Planitia on Mars. A physicist named Dr. John Brandenburg put forward a bold hypothesis in his book, Life and Death on Mars, suggesting that there was a nuclear war on Mars, a war that destroyed a thriving Martian civilization as well as the planet's magnetic field. This resulted in the disappearance of the Martian atmosphere, and the solar wind and ultraviolet light turned Mars into a dead planet. His book was published in 2011, but this claim was actually made four years earlier. The story of the boy from Mars. In our previous videos, we talked about a Russian boy by the name of Boris Kaprianovich, who was only 11 years old at the time when he claimed that he was a Martian in his previous life. He said that Martians are about 7 feet tall, that is more than 2 meters tall, and many of them are immortal and stopped aging at the age of 35. Boriska said the Martians breathe not oxygen but carbon dioxide. Mars lost this atmosphere after a catastrophic nuclear war. So this Martian boy, what's his story? Boriska was born in 1996 in the Russian city of Volgograd. His mother, a pediatrician, said that when babies are born, their eyes are usually unfocused. However, with Boriska, he looked straight at her as soon as he was born, making her heart skip a beat. The little boy was able to talk when he was a few months old and was reading and drawing when he was one and a half years old. He was talking about the solar system when he was three years old. Professor Vladislav Lugovenko at the Russian Academy of Sciences became so interested in the Martian boy that he brought him to the institute for testing. Boriska, who was only five years old at the time, started talking to the professor about the structure of the DNA double helix, the solar system and the names of many galaxies that the professor had never even heard of. Professor Lugovenko was stunned. He used an instrument to test Boriska's aura and found that it was much stronger than the average person. He also has a strong telepathic ability and a superb memory. Listening to the little boy talk eloquently about Mars, the professor was in awe and shock. Is the little boy telling the truth? Did life really exist on Mars? Is there life on Mars? Story of a meteorite. Since the 1960s, humans have launched about a dozen unmanned spacecraft to Mars. We now have a general understanding of Mars, and as far as the eye can see, the surface of Mars is covered with rocky sand dunes. It's dry and cold, with temperatures that can drop as low as minus 133 degrees and soar as high as 30 degrees in summer. The thin atmosphere of Mars has no way to block the ultraviolet rays and radiation from space. Coupled with the ultra low air pressure, no living creature on Earth can survive in this environment. So for most of the last century, the scientific community would have laughed at anyone who said there is life on Mars. Then one day in August 1996, journalists and photographers flocked to NASA in Washington DC in a frenzy. Everyone's attention was focused on this small plastic box. What did it contain? It was just an insignificant rock, but it came from Mars. The rock ALH84001 has been lying peacefully on Mars for about 4.5 billion years, but it is hypothesized that it fell into space by chance about 16 million years ago. And for what reason, that is still a mystery. The rock drifted through the solar system until 13,000 years ago when it broke through the Earth's atmosphere and became a meteor, burning up and falling onto Allen Hills in Antarctica, where it laid quietly for more than 10,000 years before being picked up by a because in the last century, although humans have launched countless probes to Mars, there have never been real soil samples returned to Earth. This piece of meteorite picked up by chance was the first sample, so the scientists were understandably excited. Among the meteorite fragments were magnetic iron oxide crystals, referred to as magnetite crystals. A team of researchers from the University of Nevada discovered in 2011 that the crystals were actually produced by a magnetitic bacterium called BW1, which is a single-celled microorganism found in almost all bodies of water on Earth. This amazing discovery was later published in the 2011 issue of the Science Journal. Not only were there magnetite crystals, but scientists also found spherical chains among meteorite fragments and similar chain structures among some of the Earth's ancient fossils. According to paleontologists, these chains in Earth's fossils were formed by bacteria. Now that similar chains have been found among the fragments of Martian meteorites, does it mean that it is also formed by bacteria on Mars? David S. McKay, chief space biologist at the Johnson Space Center, believed that these two pieces of evidence were solid enough. He then announced that life existed on ancient Mars. Heated discussions broke out within the scientific community and people were shocked. There were two polarizing views. One faction is in favor of evidence supporting the existence of life on Mars, while the other believes that the evidence is far from sufficient and is not enough to draw conclusions. Due to the contentious nature of the topic, it became imperative to find further evidence. This is also one of the reasons why countries are in a race to launch advanced probes to Mars. If there really was life on Mars, it means that future colonization is possible and whoever goes first will be at an advantage. Is there life on Mars? 2020's latest discoveries. In July 2020, the United States, China and the United Arab Emirates have all launched probes to Mars. There is a reason for this timing because Mars at the time reached its closest point to Earth and it will be another 26 months before it is this close again. The U.S. Perseverance rover was the first to arrive in a crater called Jezero in the northern hemisphere of Mars. The joint Chinese and UAE rover Zhurong also landed on the plains near the crater three months later. What is so special about this crater? It so happens that this crater is expected to be a delta formed by an ancient river injecting into a lake or ocean, just like the alluvial plains on Earth. If life once existed on Mars, then generally such places will be filled with flora and fauna. Boulders and pebbles at the top of the delta gave scientists strong indication that this was once an alluvial plain. The large boulders weigh several tons and underneath the boulders are tiny sediments. NASA researcher Ken Williford said that this layering indicates the ancient lake was filled by a slow-moving river and the fine sediment drifted down the waters and settled into a sloping delta. The upper boulder was probably brought from elsewhere by a great flood, which is why it is very different from the lower layer of fine sediment. In other words, it is very likely there was a big flood here, so there will definitely be signs of life. Through the photos sent back by the probe, scientists believe that according to the geological appearance of Mars, large amounts of water existed billions of years ago and most of the northern hemisphere of Mars should have been the ocean. Astrophysicists believe that the early atmosphere of Mars may have been rich in carbon dioxide, which can also produce a greenhouse effect and warm the surface. It is possible that Mars had a warm climate millions or even billions of years ago, so with plenty of water, a warm climate, carbon dioxide breathing Martians, when we put these elements together, you can see that the story of the boy from Mars is not so hard to accept. So how did Mars become the dead planet it is today? The death of Mars. The boy from Mars said it is because of a nuclear war. The environment changed dramatically and his race on Mars became mostly extinct. Only a small number of survivors went into the dungeon and survived. As he was a pilot, he fled to Earth and was reborn as an Earthling but kept his memories from his previous life. The boy from Mars said that the purpose he came to Earth was to warn people against war because Earth was already showing signs that a nuclear conflict could happen in the future with Mars as an example. Now we turn back to the piece of Martian meteorite fragment from 13,000 years ago that NASA found on Earth. For this rock to be able to break away from the gravitational pull of Mars and fly into space and then be captured by the Earth's gravitational field, there would need to have been an extremely strong force. The most common explanation, asteroid impact. In fact, there is another possibility that every mainstream scientist has thought about but does not want to say. It is possible that the rock came from a violent explosion on Mars itself and the huge shockwave threw the debris out of the Martian orbit. This fragment of a Martian meteorite which ended up on Earth and is suspected of bearing signs of life provides a trace of indirect support for the ancient nuclear explosion on Mars. In ancient folklore and tales, there is surprisingly consistent association of Mars to war and killing. Mars and Earth. In ancient Chinese astrology, Mars was also known as Xing Xu, representing war and death. In ancient Indo-Vedic astrology, Mars is also a malefic planet, representing the god of wrath. In Norse mythology, Mars corresponds to Tyr, the god of war and courage. Tyr fought with Gama, the evil dog of hell, and then died together, suggesting the calamity of Mars. In ancient Greek and Roman mythology, Mars was represented by Eris, the god of war. The ancient Romans considered themselves to be descendants of Mars and their force was so great that the Roman army was the strongest army on Earth before the Middle Ages. From ancient myths to the discovery of signs that life existed on the planet long ago, Mars was a story of a once vibrant and high-tech civilization that was suddenly wiped out by a nuclear war. It turned Mars into a red star of death. A few survivors fled to Earth, retaining their Mars memories such as Bereska, the boy from Mars. Perhaps this is to give a warning to us Earthlings of the perils of nuclear war. Mars yesterday could be Earth tomorrow. If you have any comments, please share them here.
