Scientists Think There Could Be LIFE on TITAN and It’s Even Weirder Than We Thought!

  • Saturn's largest moon, Titan has captivated the imaginations of scientists for decades. Why? Because below all that thick cloud, vast seas, lakes and rivers have been discovered pouring over parts of its frozen surface.
    This is the only place in the solar system, other than Earth, where liquid flows across the surface. So just like home, could Titan's seas and lakes harbour life? And if they do, what might it look like?

      The near future will answer our biggest question. Are we alone? By confirming the existence of life on Titan, or even fossilized remains on Venus or Mars, we will prove by the Drake Equation, that there are hundreds of millions of life bearing worlds in the Galaxy.

      In science a theory is actually an expression of facts. It explains things that are substantiated by data.
      When scientists make an assumption, proposed for the sake of argument so that they can tested it to see if it's true than that is a hypothesis.
      I am a bit amazed that a man of science uses theory in the nonscientific way which puts it at the same speculative level of a hypothesis. 🙄

      @@AlexandruBurda I know how the term "theory" is generally used in science. But in many videos I've seen on astronomy and related physics, there are theories based on other theories. For example the atmosphere of a moon might be believed to be made up of a certain element based on light wavelengths characteristics of that element, and then videos will discuss theories on excruciating detail about the weather and precipitation patterns etc for than environment. And this detail is often discussed in regards to places we haven't sent probes or seen closer pictures of to first confirm that the conclusion about the elements in the environment were correct and that no other interference caused an incorrect conclusion. So while all the other details are based on the science of how an environment with that element might work (the theory), these theories while logical, do not have large amounts of data (facts) collected on them, and have not been tested. Similar to the "facts" about black holes. Much of the working theories are based on calculations or indirect conclusions. Perhaps they would be best described as "possible theories". The way many theoretical models are presented almost as concrete proven fact, in my opinion, weakens the authority of science because it does make a "theory" more akin to the way the layman use it.

    As I get older, I find myself growing less hopeful that humanity will ever find any life beyond the unicellular level. I worked as a NASA contractor at JSC for 25 years and saw and heard about enough problems that were not anticipated, that could have derailed many activities.
    Too many mission planners heads are up their exhaust ports when it comes to bringing back potentially living organisms from Mars or anywhere else.
    There was a movie called Life (2017) that explored this scenario with very bad results.
    The ISS would be the LAST 😅place I would send any samples. What should be done is to build a base on the moon where this sort of work can be done safely. If (or when) something goes wrong the base could be isolated and if necessary destroyed.
    Even if it takes an extra decade or two before we send human missions to Mars to collect samples, better a delay than an ecological catastrophe due to the arrogance of science committees and funding agencies that refused to remember the maxim of Murphy's Law: anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
    We might get lucky, we might not.

      If you worked for NASA then you probably know way more then me just my opinion on it…
      We don’t know what keeps the moon going, we can go there and ruin it maybe the moon isn’t supposed to be tampered with just like the sun isn’t, we know that nuclear war has potential of ruin our ecosystem and even worst, but we don’t know what can destroy the moon, it can be as simple as humans being there too long, we literally destroy everything through greed…

      - Therefore Evolution is unscientific
      What does the origin of life have to do with Evolution? Evolution describes the process of how life could diversify and adapt via natural selection, this presupposes that the life already exists.
      Another thing that has nothing to do with Evolution, but why do you think it's impossible for life to form from non-living components or materials? Seeing as we use them to survive as well as our body's fundamentally made of things that if isolated wouldn't be alive. I don't find it unlikely that the most simplest self replicating forms of "life" could have existed in the early oceans of Earth near underwater hydrothermal vents.
      Although, life on Titan? Idk, seems like a bit of a stretch as no such kind of carbon based life form could live on there, and we don't know any other kind of lifeform that isn't carbon based yet.

NASA is missing a huge opportunity to stir waning public interest in space exploration by choosing to send it to the (relatively) arid equatorial regions rather than using to opportunity to show the public and explore something we've never witnessed before, that being of course, the polar seas and lakes.

      There isn’t anything that lives in the mantle. That’s a bit too hot. They have found ancient organism fossils in the rock that has been sucked down close to the mantle. I think you’re thinking a few organisms that survive close to oceanic heat vents.
      Any silicon based life would likely melt at those pressures and temperatures of the mantle. You’re thinking of what is called “the hypothetical silicon biosphere”. Supposedly you could use it as a building block, but no life like that exists that we know of. Everything here on earth evolved specifically from carbon building blocks
