Where xenon was discovered Videos

+stewart lees To be honest I do not think there is a solution. I have pondered on the problem for years. Species are becoming extinct at an alarming rate and we cannot stop it, rainforest going at tens of thousands of acres a day. Our very presence is destroying the genetic diversity and biological integrity of the ecosphere. The hard reality is that we are witnessing the beginning of a mass extinction event. Our energy hungry civilisation will not last longer than another 150 years, maybe 250 if we are lucky. Humanity will survive but the population will fall very rapidly to about 2 billion or less following the collapse of the global economy.

+TheSpiritof1969 That was well said. I do understand that our own existence is being destroyed and that our planet has been enduring this & as we grow ever hungry for power, Fossil fuels etc as you mentioned we are already sitting on the tipping point of not being able to bring our planet under safer conditions. If not already to late!. What can we do?

+stewart lees A single four manned mission would cost $500 billion, maybe twice or even ten times, The solutions have not yet even been found yet. WE live on a planet teaming with life and we are destroying it at a frightening rate. What new worlds? In our solar system Mars was our only chance but it turned out to be a dead rock. Science is moving far in computing and AI but the basic technologies of space flight are very much in the 1960s . We went to the moon but taking humans to Mars is still the stuff of sci fi. For the cost of just one manned mission we could send hundreds of probes to many places. How about a sample return mission to Europa? It might have an ocean under the ice that is 20 miles deep and it is difficult to imagine life never evolved there. There will never be 'working as a planet', the human race is tearing itself apart through politics, religeon, oil and hunger. Our time will come, sadly a lot sooner than you might think and when that time comes space will be the last thing anyone will care about. I believe the economic opportunity has already past and we missed our chances of manned exploration beyond the moon when we scrapped the Saturn rockets and wasted 30 year on the il-conceived space shuttle.

+TheSpiritof1969 You are absolutely right. But if as a human race developed more effort to space travel we could inhabit new worlds. Look at the advancements in nano tech & other new break troughs in science. If we were working as a planet to develop the new techs to travel & survive in new worlds we would be better motivated as a world race to make it a better faster reality. The problem is there is only a hand full of humans making this a reality & taking far to long. It would need to be a collective world objective.

+stewart lees A lifeless world that has no air to breath, is cold enough to freeze you solid, nothing grows, the thin atmosphere and lack of magnetic field means solar and cosmic radiations reach the ground. .

+Rising Sun that show is awesome. stop talking like an elf.

Yep.

+Jayme Splendid I honestly did start watching chris angel just for the sake of reading remedial comments. religion has been the reason for world's most gruesome wars and still today we face the same problems for the same reasons. it has been thousands of years and we are no closer to proving religion as we were then, honestly I believe we've actually disproven a majority of religious theories. but people are thick-skulled and unfortunately would rather watch the world be ruined and retard human progression and common knowledge just to ensure their devotion to a false existence.

TRUE . SMH

+James Kallend Those are scared, mentally retardeed people with the imagination of a monkey.

+James Kallend If you really want to lose faith in humanity check out the comments on youtube videos saying that magicans like David Blane, Chris Angle and others are in fact either possessed by demons or made deals with them, which is why they can "fly" and do other feats.......it's fucking scary that people fucking still think this way...

+Nathan pritchardBecause philosophy isn't science. Reason is certainly key, but not logic.The problem is that philosophy in academia has become corrupted and wooly with belly button fluff in the same way that "Creation Science" is trying to integrate itself into real science.

+Eve Again and you know it to be garbage how?

+Steve Bergman Sorry, that's all garbage.

+Eve Again Philosophy has formal rules in the form of formal logic, a branch of mathematics. What it lacks is a foundation. Science has observational data as its foundational constraint. Philosophy has nothing. In fact, in a very real sense, philosophy is just a synonym for logic. Mathematicians with an appropriate specialty are better at that. So I don't really see a need for a separate group called "philosophers" who are redundant, superfluous, and inferior. Philosophy/Logic is a merely a tool.When it comes to science, those who can, become experimentalists. Those who can't do that become theorists. And those who can't do that become philosophers of science, write popular books, and go on lecture tours to sell them.

+Nathan pritchardPhilosophy has rules? No it doesn't, it's navel-gazing. Sure, it can produce some pearls of wisdom, but there are no rules to it, that's nonsense.

+Steve Bergman anyone can say their a philosopher just like anyone can say their a scientist, philosophy has rules it isn't just wishy washy thinking

+Steve Bergman+1 to all that. You're right about philosophers,  anyone can be a philosopher. Even a bum digging through a dumpster philosophizes, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that many such bums have a greater wisdom than any preacher.

+donttrustthegovernment revoltagainstthegovernment Don't laugh your ass off too hard. It's entirely possible. Due to its size and position in the solar system, Mars was probably ready for life before Earth was. And we know that Earth and Mars have traded a lot of rocks over the last 4.6 billion years. Whichever planet went through the process of developing life from scratch, meaning starting with the simplest of replicating molecules and working up to DNA/RNA as an information storage mechanism and then filling that with tried and true recipes and instructions that work... probably would have seeded the other planet with that simply through the normal mechanisms of our solar system. Material was flying every which way during the late heavy bombardment, after all. I don't know The one process for the origin of life on Earth is more involved but local. The other involves microbes surviving a catastrophic collision and a long trip through the vacuum of space. You lost points with me when you mentioned philosophy, by the way. This is a scientific question. Self-proclaimed philosophers need not apply. In my experience, such folks turn out to be pretty stupid.

+Jon Snow Martians with a 't', please.

+donttrustthegovernment revoltagainstthegovernment sure why the fuck not? (note: sarcasm)

+donttrustthegovernment revoltagainstthegovernment Trust Fox News. Trust Rush Limbaugh. Trust Alex Jones. Hold on, is that shit coming from your ears?

+donttrustthegovernment revoltagainstthegovernment certainly not an impossibility.

+donttrustthegovernment revoltagainstthegovernment Prove it didnt? Who the fuck are you to say what the reality couldnt be? fuck outter here you sound about 14.

+donttrustthegovernment revoltagainstthegovernment yeah clearly. or you're just too dull minded to think outside the box

+donttrustthegovernment revoltagainstthegovernment You clearly do not understand philosophy and theory do you? It could well be we are the out come of marsian and primitive neanderthal sexual intercourse. Mars could be our home. We could be a colony Mars created and Mars crumbled. Like interstellar, the whole goal is to find a new a new planet before suffocation

+PuroYO I totally agree with you but for humans to go to mars right now would be bad because of the solar radiation and the planet is now confirmed to have salty grimy water although that is poisonous to humans microbes could adapt and or live in it i just wish that we can make a device that generates a magnetic field because if mars had a magnetic field then it would be really likely that we will survive in mars but until scientist and engineers figure out how to make this MACHINE but i can't wait to go to mars i just wish that it'll be possible to go to other planets in this century or at least in our life time but seriously CAN NOT WAIT !!!! :)

maybe we are marsians after all , maybe in the early days a meteor from when the mars was borning hit the earth and gave it life

+donttrustthegovernment revoltagainstthegovernment be nice
