Considering the difficulty of preventing contamination in my mushroom cultures, it would surprise me if there weren't life on Mars, especially since the planets have been known to exchange rocks occasionally.
I'd guess some of the moons in the outer solar system have good chance of having been seeded with Earth life as well.
As life appears to be incredibly hardy, tenacious and pervasive I'm having a hard time imagining that there isn't life on mars as there are environmental conditions that do support life there, especially subsurface.
That said... What's the chance that, given the extremely limited scope of human exploration on Mar's surface so far, that we just happened to have chanced upon an incredibly rare rock that originated on earth?
That also brings up the possibility of abiogenisis happening on Mars and spreading to Earth, because of how early life appeared on Earth, pretty much as soon as it could have appeared.
and sometimes probes
That’s one way of keeping the return mission funded haha. Love it
Considering the mayhem caused of a stupid bat virus I’m not sure a sample return mission is wise.
af@@mitseraffej5812
@@mitseraffej5812 no extraterrestrial virus or bacteria could actually infect us
@@mitseraffej5812 Considering you still believe it was a "bat virus", perhaps we should just stay put after all.
Tell us what we should know daddy gov. Give us belief in science so that I may feel virtuous. Amen
Imagine if all 3 planets have/had life and none were related to each other! What an eye opener that would be!
If life on Earth, Mars and Venus are all related I'm not sure we will ever know where it originated from first.
These days I suspect there probably is life scattered throughout our solar system, but it likely all came from Earth. Either way should life exist out there learning it's origin would lead to the most profound revelations in the history of humanity. A single genesis would revel a narrow path to life. Whereas 2 or more starts to life in a single solar system would mean a Universe teaming with life.
@@Top_Weeb if Dr. Richard Hoovers findings are right life originated before the planets were created. He has some pretty compelling arguments about finding ancient fossilized life in some meteorites from before the formation of earth. On top of that scientist are starting to find evidence of life from not long after the earths surface became solid which now only leaves about a 200 million year gap from molten surface to forming complex single celled life like we still see today. As time goes on it becomes more and more likely that life didnt start on earth.
@@THX..1138If there is life scattered throughout the solar system that is like Earth life, you will never know whether it originated from Earth or not. It could've originated from Mars or Venus and just so happened to thrive best on Earth. You would have no way to tell. Especially if we start seeing "Earth life" in the outer solar system like on moons. That would start to suggest panspermia on a much wider scale.
In a way, I think that's more mind blowing. We will basically never be sure about our "true" origins.
It would add weight to the Gaia hypothesis, that life-bearing planets are not only living things but cross-fertilize.
I always put you on bedside after taking my glasses off sometimes I forget how stunning your visuals are. These actual shots of mars are insane
Best to keep your glasses on!
Best to keep your glasses on then!
@@Libertaro-i2uSleeping or, lying down sideways with glasses is something not good to do I’m pretty sure. (From someone with glasses)
I bet people living isolated in communities also used to wonder if there are other humans over the mountains, until they walked over one day and confirmed it. Feels like the same thing with us on Earth tight now.
Patterns, even social patterns, repeat.
Read your Bible life is throughout the cosmos and not just humanoid of flesh and blood. Who wants us to believe that we are the only life in the cosmos?
@@marquezmilton5247 Scientists were very rigid on trying to explain everything without involving life outside of our planet. Starts to feel like they don't want to find any life forms anywhere else because then we will not be special in any way.
@marquezmilton5247 bible is a book of fables
@@marquezmilton5247then again, the Bible also says plants were made before the sun so I'm not sure we can rely on it for scientific predictions.
It's maddening how many times we've gotten THIS close to finding life, but definitive proof always stays a hair's breadth out of reach.
It's because we have barely left planet earth, and haven't been able to look thoroughly on Mars. All we can detect right now is chemicals, but that is very hard to prove definitively. Same thing will happen if James Webb detects biosignatures. I do think we will have detect very high probability of life in the next 20 years or so though.
A single scientist on Mars could probably have this figured out in an afternoon.
Might be on purpose
A hairs breadth proximity between Mars and Earth only occurs during the rarest of planetary alignments.
@@peteynutt4104it is. they are aware the time traveling humans that all have blonde hair and blue eyes have bases everywhere across the solar system
The sound quality of your videos keeps getting better. The bass frequencies are strong with this one
Me too, but thinking its a recent smokers voice. Idk. Just observing.
ASMR!
Is this sarcasm? The sound is absolutely abysmal compared to his older vids
It's annoying
Mars attacks!!!
Ack ack! Ack!
Ack ack! Ack ack ack ack?
They blew up congress!
Why can’t we all just get along?
@@JohnMichaelGodieryay good news!
I read all of Edgar ricebouroghs mars, venus, tarzan plus most of the inner eatth pelucidar. Boy that brings great memories back. I still have them on the bookshelf.
Yes! I still have my ERB books from when I was a kid. They were sooo much fun and exciting. It was some of my first sci-fi reading experiences
Haha, nerd! You read books like a dork!
Edgar Rice Boroughs. Now that's strictly "fun" sci-fy, with emphasis on "fiction." Somewhere in one of my 120 boxes, I have "Lost on Venus," a true favorite of mine. Eventually, this led me to buy the Space Trilogy by C.S Lewis, and "Out of the Silent Planet" became a new "favorite."
Honestly, With so much tantalizing evidence, I honestly personally believe there's no doubt there was and still is life living under ground
Was, yes
Still, I hope so
There is doubt, believe it or not.
If there ever was life on Mars, it is most likely still there under the ground where it is still warm and watery enough
It would probably have to be at least 10 kilometers below the surface of Mars to get high enough pressure to support anything but extremophiles
100% life is underground on Mars
@@Libertaro-i2uusing earth analogues makes sense but your talking about an organism that has lived on mars for eons and evolved to survive a lower gravity 0 atmosphere environment. Of course their "extremeophiles" with no or extremelly distant common ancestry with earths own extremophiles
They don't have to be extremophiles.
We found in isolated pockets of water, miles underneath the antarctic ice sheet are complex life forms thriving for that last several million years. Isolated pockets of water, miles beneath an ice sheet. Complex life. Right now
Man it would be so cool to find life next door!
It really would!🙏🏾
Not if you live next to my neighbors.
Both next doors.
Both next doors.
The totality of indicators is conclusive. Done deal.
The background music always makes me feel like I’m in a Skyrim dungeon
YESSSSS OMG I'm so psyched for when we find an inhabited world
the date it happens should be made a global holiday
@sloopy420 Sad to say, but human nature being what it is, many wouldn't care if fossil microbes were discovered on Mars. Might have been the same result back in the 1490s when Columbus encountered the first islands of the New World- half of Europe probably said, "meh."
you mean microbes?
@@jota6262Those zombies don't dictate history. When Australia was discovered by the west there weren't widespread celebrations in Britain, yet today we have a national holiday.
There will always be people content to just work and die, but those individuals are not an indication of human nature. You are human, I am human, and we are both equally curious about what might exist in the vastness of space.
I sincerely hope that humanity gets its stuff together this century. We have too much information to give in to the tribalism of the past.
@@Adriaticus Britain didn't discover Australia, they only claimed it. And they don't have a national holiday on the claiming of it either. Only white Australians do and it's widely contested by the indigenous people.
Love the production qualities--vocal quality, pacing and choice of musical background. The perfect canvas for the historic summaries and report of recent discovery. Cool!
Life as microbiomes is probably exceptionally common in the galaxy
yeah, I think most of the real filters come after that.
I’ve had a similar idea, after all the earth spent most of its history with microscopic organisms.
I don't see evidence of that. We still have no idea how common life is in this universe because we only have a sample size of one. No matter how much water, oxygen, or organic chemicals we find on other planets, abiogenesis could be so rare, that we are alone in this universe for all we know.
No real way to say that. The universe is extremely hostile to life
@@Jag0hexactly. As much as it "seems" like there "must" be life elsewhere, it's equally as likely we are the first and only life on the entire universe. There HAS to be a first, and there is no reason to think it's not us.
Thank you for the "true color shots" like 7:14. In the future, it would be good if you could narrate a video of Noctilucent clouds on Mars. Your voice is perfect for that, and almost no one speaks of this common occurrence in the night sky of Mars.
It never once entered my head that if Venus or Mars has/had life and it was proven to be from panspermia, that it might NOT have originated on Earth.
I get the feeling that if you write a paper saying, this might be life, your reputation is much more on the line than if you respond to such a paper saying, it might not. Isn't it a form of bias when a possible life signature is detected, any paper proposing a natural explanation is deemed as refuting the possibility of life. Not saying we should accept poorly supported claims but we shouldn't be biased against the possibility of life.
It's that whole "extraordinary claims, extraordinary evidence" thing, same reason we reject "we don't know, therefore aliens". Discovery of extraterrestrial life really does require this treatment -- remember the Martian microbe meteorite that maybe wasn't? Bill Clinton addressed it in a speech, then it quietly got downgraded to "ehh, maybe".
This is a common misunderstanding of science.
When someone makes a positive claim, there are maybe a handful of ways that they could be right, and nearly infinite ways they could be wrong. As a result, with no evidence, the default position is not “maybe” or even “I’m not sure” but rather “no.” So in a manner of speaking there is a bias, but it is a logical bias against any given statement being true.
True, but it's better to be safe than sorry. 😂
"Extraordinary claims require Extraordinary evidence." If scientists are going to make revolutionary claims, it is only logical that the risk would be greater along with the need to back up their claims. There are too many people desperate for 15 minutes of fame and fantastical "docuseries" that fly in the face of everything we genuinely know about history and science.
They're like this because they been through this time and time again. They find something weird, think its life, then find out it was just nature doing something we didn't think nature could do.
Sometimes, rather than focusing on the content, I just "trip out" on the space music and John's mysterious-sounding voice. I pretend that this is all pure science fiction, and enjoy it as such.
Real astronomy is so much more interesting. The actual information is so hard to come by
Wet Mars must have been a wonderful place. Imagine after billions of years of dry nothingness, we have found tangible remnants of that amazing epoch.
Imagine finding alien fossils on Mars.
I don't know. It probably smelled bad. Like a gross pond. I'd rather there not have been that period at all. Not worth the terrible smell that would have existed imo.
@@jimtroeltsch5998Earth would probably smell awful to the aliens on Mars too
Week starts with rough news, but in comes JMG with a shiney new Vid.
Suddenly Monday isn't that bad any more
8:51 Flying saucer crashed on planet. From the Martian's perspective, *This is their ROSWELL*
Nice :). But they have undeniable evidence.
leading to a new Area 51
been watching your videos since last year keep up the great stuff!
I hope this is gonna be about the mutant Kuato.
Open your miiiiind!
Open your mind.
Start the reactor!!!!
Gym teacher from Nightmare on Elm Street 2 begins unbuttoning his shirt...
my guess is that the microbial life is common and derived from deep sea vents or other situations that present a similar environment, however i'd guess that intelligent multicellular life that culturally finds peace with themselves and their environment long enough to expand throughout a galaxy is much less common
It's already an insane miracle we got where we did, even just evolutionarily speaking. An Incredibly ambulatory tree-rat derived bipedal branch of the tree of life, complete with forward facing eyes despite being herbivores, opposable thumbs, and intense social corporation, proceeded to hit the lottery of environmental pressures to the leave the trees, become even more intensely social to evolve incredibly vocal communication, learned to make tools and fire, shifted to omnivorous, and lost their fur in favor of textile development, survived a mass extinction, survived multiple other smaller extinctions of their sub species...
You know what, I could go all day. How do we expect any other technological race to be anywhere nearby?
We should be absolutely ecstatic to find basic alien animals!
So the filter is ahead of us? Great
When you want to find life on Earth, you flip over a rock. Seems weird we are drilling rocks yet we don't have any rock-flipping robots.
Just think that all three planetary siblings could've all easily had life on them at the same time! And possibly still do!!
Prefect video to relax to whole playing no man's Sky. Thanks John!
I find it fascinating and sad that, if there was once life on Mars (and assuming it is not there now), there would have been a period where something was the very last "being" alive on the entire planet. All alone in such a large space.
Sounds peaceful.
Does your wife fall asleep when you talk to her? Because you knock me out. Love your channel. Thanks for the voice. And science. All of it.
The plot thickens! We really need to get some bodies up there to Mars, and set up a science station.
Are you suggesting we send our dead there?
@@facetubetwit1444 Yes, let’s open up a morgue on Mars 😂
I saw a short on this today and commented that I'd see this topic in a jmg video in a month but here you are talking about it Same day I Made comment so on point
John is the best!
This is so exciting
You remember that "top 10 bizarre deep space astronomical objects" video you did? I was wondering if you'd have any interest in making a part 2 to that one. That's one of my favorite videos of yours.
Really interesting indeed! Thanks, John! 😊
Either way, although we don't have the bullet proof... Evidence for life on Mars seems to be overwhelming!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank God we dont know everything. The not knowing is enough for many to ponder but the rest dont even realize the question.
Stoked to see what may be on the Red Planet.
Thanks John!
Most probably there is life under the surface of Mars.
CONGRATS on hitting 420!!! Make sure you smoke a big fat bowl tonight Sir Godier
Lmao imagine him doing a podcast lighting up a bowl with snoop dogg talking about aliens and shit
Awesome !!! This has me excited! Mars always keeps us guessing. Perhaps this time, we'll find a piece to its puzzle. Thanks for the video!
I'll be more surprised if there wasn't any life (extinct or alive) on these planets.
420k subscribers let’s gooooooo! 💨
Whether Mars is a dead or living planet remains a profound mystery.
And what "life" or "death" is on Mars may be truly alien to us Earthlings.
Please do a video on the caves of Mars!
Heya John I just noticed that the female on the cover for your novel "Supermind" has an uncanny resemblance to a popular actress in Hollywood that is aka Jennifer Lawrence. Now this may merely be a coinky dinky in my mind OR have others commented on this as well ? Thank you in advance for your time and truly thank you for all you do for this community and in general science, discovery and the pursuit of truth, justice, and all that remains left to uncover and discover !!! 😉🙃
Looks absolutely nothing like her 😂
I've always thought that too!
Best youtube channel ever !
We need to bring a rock from Mars back here for in-depth study. I know that's on the table. Can't wait to see what they find.
that seems really impractical and a long way off. it's more realistic to invent machinery that can do in-depth study on Mars.
If there's life on Mars, even just microbial, we should be extremely wary about bringing anything back from Mars. In fact, the presence of life on Mars should make the planet off limits to human visitation/colonization.
Need to have rovers go down caves on Mars. Believe that is where life would be considering uv rays that hiy Mars. Also protect life against climate extremes of Mars
Maybe a hybrid rolling/flying drone?
I think it has to be meters under the regolith. There just aren't any nutritionants on the surface.
It's been suggested to use autonomous helicopters to survey Martian caves.
Great video brother especially to those of us who are a little clueless to this sort of thing and are interested though love it
This was a very good video! I had a very critical comment on your last video. But this video was great!
John “ MICROBIAL “ Godier for the win!
Pretty obvious the universe is teeming with life 😅 we just haven’t caught up in our proving of it yet. But we all know deep down it’s true.
We are not alone in this enormous dark sea!
we are not alone in this universe
great discovery !!.. simple-life could be alot of in universe .. :D
Over the last 50 years Why haven't we slowly been terraforming Mars and adding fauna and atmosphere to make it livable for humans. Just the resources available would make everyone that move to thst planet rich and bring us closer to colonizing and mining the rocks between Mars and Jupiter.
We would have to bombard it with the nearest passing asteroids or comets to increase its mass, internal activity, and magnetic field, or we would have to produce tons of green house gasses there
@@skrus12 because 1. It’s a one way mission would you be signing up?
2. We don’t have the technology to terra form mars.
3. Who would “own” mars? If you say Earth governments or corporations we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes we’ve made on earth.
4. We can still save earth and make it a planet that can survive and thrive.
The cost would be prohibitive. It costs north of a million dollars to get 1kg of cargo to Mars. Not to speak of humans who need life support and food.
Scoentists: we found living microbial life on Mars
Feminists: Life doesn't begin until the 'fetus' comes to term
Nice report of information. Thanks.
I think we are getting very close to figuring out if microbial simple organisms exist throughout the cosmos or not. Finding a single fossil on Mars literally changes the game.
Ah, nice to listen to the dulcet tones of the voice of reason, as the dust settles from the media frenzy on this news.
Whatever rock we find life signs in on Mars will seem random until we learn how life worked there.
Great video love the longer ones thanks for the content
Mars and Venus have both had signs of life. Imagine if mercury had some! 😂😂😂😂
The argument and arrogance that our generation and life forms must know ALL! PURE ARROGANCE!!!!!
Congrats on 420k subs
I hope we can definitively answer this question in my lifetime!☄🌌🚀
At this point, we're just digging through paradigm & coverup. Life is clearly endemic. As soon as earth cooled off, it sprouted, because it's constantly raining down on us.
its all just part of a roundabout wuffle am I right? What I just typed is about as clear as what you just said.
I don't think you know what endemic means...
@vapormissile Please clarify the first two sentences (not being aggro, I just don't understand)
Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana
@JMG How many did you have before recording this? :)
Nice

I want whatever JMG had...
Mars has really always strange. An alternative earth in a way.
Your voice was actually noticeably vibrating my body because my phone was on full volume 😂
The Mars Sample Return mission just became that much more important. Hopefully, the bureaucrats get the message.
Ehhh...Not so fast...Remember Andromeda Strain?
If micro' life can exist on earth deep under ice,in a nuclear reactor etc' then Mars is a tropical rain forest by comparison
Every day you release a video is a good day.
Are you and Angry pacing each other? Just asking because the Post-Enlightnment appears to be happening on my subscriptions and that's awesome
Seriously though 😂
Its a beautiful simulation
Great video, as always! It seems the tempo of your narration is quite a bit slower than I'm used to. Is that an intentional change?
I keep hoping that one day, a Mar’s version of a seashell will be found.
Tanks fo da video !
ANOTHER EVENT HORIZON 😉🔥🤘
Love your content! I just wish the world would work together more to figuring out these kinds of questions and answers about not only our solar neighborhood but the universe itself we would have no need for greed cause out there is unlimited amounts of potential and resources waiting to be discovered.
I just have this feeling that we're going to discover life very soon
In an era where UA-camrs are constantly sucking the lifeblood of creatives with their use of AI images, it really makes me appreciate John's videos even more because you DONT use those images, instead real photography and (what I hope) is artistic representations of exoplanets. Great video, super exciting stuff.
Mars is my favorite planet. Most likely to be able to walk on Mars one day!
Let’s just take care of this planet and not exploit another. The fact we have sent rovers to Mars will make it difficult to explain how we didn’t introduce life to Mars.
Im sure microbial life has existed on Mars. Our planets have been known to essentially exchange rocks before via things like asteroid strikes sending rock fragments out of the planets atmosphere and orbit, and eventually falling into another planets orbit/earth vice versa. It's happened before. So the possibility is not farfetched.
We will only find definitive proof of life on Mars when we have boots on the ground and something slithers up to us and says "Colonize here often? Is that a fazer in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" Or maybe "Hey Mabel. Get out here. The fleet's in."
With all these hints coalescing in one place, it would kind of surprise me if life were never found there.
Gil Levin discovered LOM in 1976. He was denied the Nobel and now deceased will never be a recipient.
What an amazing video!
In 2007 I contacted several agencies like NASA, as I found in the HiRise data a cliff face that had erosion 'holes' with a dark fluid falling out of it, running half way down before evaporating. I posted it online for years. Only one European magazine that I know of ever ran a photo and they put it on the cover. So... everyone I've ever shown agrees it's subsurface water running out like a spring, but literally no one wants to explore it further. 16 years it's been. I've thought about giving the information to China, as they are looking for a base location, and subsurface water supply is what counts.
Link?
Protoplanet? That’s something to think on as I go to sleep!
How difficult is it to put a microscope, and/or more labeled release experiments, on Mars? Are we intentionally avoiding such?
JMG you have 420k subs and that is epic
"There are those who believe that life here began out there..." Original Battlestar Galactica Narration...
Am I the only one that's found the idea of panspermia not just implausible, but incredibly more implausible than abiogenesis occurring often and indepdently?
You need the life to be there [already pointing to abiogenesis beginnings; has to start somewhere], it needs to survive whatever incredible force launches it into space, needs to survive the heating up in the atmosphere, then the cooling off in space, then has to get caught in another planet's gravity, survive the heating up again, then whatever incredible force is involved in the impact... and *_then_* it has to have found itself in an environment amenable to it. That said, yeah, I know, there's reason to believe some simple life has survived space...
Life begins immediately at the very earliest instance possible throughout the entire universe, we just got lucky with the conditions that lead to our evolution, we are not alone.
Evolution doesn't just take the best route...it takes every route. This is something to consider when thinking about life anywhere. Divergence is a simple illustration of this.
We are learning that oxygen is being made on the ocean floor. With no sunlight! These findings are changing what we know about nature and life. It will change how we look for life also.
Mars . . . it is where microbial life liiiiiiives.
So good... thanks!
We may end up finding evidence that there was once life on Venus and Mars and that there is currently life on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Life may be across our solar system and all solar systems throughout the universe.
