Making Sense of It All
I don’t want to move to Mars. It’s a very dangerous environment, you’d be indoors all the time or else wearing a spacesuit for short adventures outdoors. I don’t even think it’s advantageous for humans to go to Mars at all when we could just as well, and for much less expense, send our probes […]

We suppose it does by mathematical calculations, but we haven’t even found a fossil of a microbe from space. Secondly, suppose there is some super advanced civilization (your use of “exponentially” […]
Read More →Mechanical, intentional interstellar travel is unlikely since the distances are far too great to imagine. The best anyone could achieve is interplanetary travel within one’s own solar system. Therefore, if we pass the buck and say life didn’t start here but started somewhere else and arrived here, it would have had to arrive on a […]

On the other hand, it’s not so easy to leave Mars and go back […]
