Re: [meteorite-list] Removal from the list - Aliens Did It!
Hi Phil and List, My intention was to make a connection between the topic "Extraterrestrial Life" and meteorites, not necessarily to discuss Panspermia...without six degrees ;) Cheers, Pete > From: joshuatreemus...@embarqmail.com > To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com > Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2009 11:27:17 -0400 > Subject: [meteorite-list] Removal from the list - Aliens Did It! > > Pete: > > I used to entertain notions of Panspermia, before I lost my religion > (concerning outer space intelligent life).

[meteorite-list] Removal from the list - Aliens Did It!
The key words here are "unless interefered with". That is like saying "all things being equal". They never are! Let's say an object is approaching our little sub spiral armlet, from the main spiral arm of the Milky Way. Or, if you want to keep it within the Local Neighborhood, it's coming from the outer reaches of the Oort Cloud. Gosh, I can't think of one single thing that would interfere with it's motion! It's a complete and total vacuum all the way, no solar wind, no gravitational effects from Jupiter, etc. NOT! Of course something is going to interfere with it. Maybe under an ideal set of circumstances that statement is true. But practically speaking, I believe something could quite possibly cause intereference. Phil Whitmer Phil, List, You don't need Brownian motion of any kind. "An object, set in motion, remains in uniform motion unless interfered with." Some guy named Newton said that. You need to read up some. I said that. Sterling K.

Sterling, Yes, I've heard of that guy! (Danger, Will Robinson! Lame attempt at humor approaching!), and I love Fig Newtons! I don't have time for no stinking reading, I work 2 jobs. You must know from my posts that I just write down the first thing that pops into my head. (Kind of like you do for movie line quotes). Besides, who needs to read, we have a thing nowadays called: Wikipedia! (I can even read it in Klingon or Esperanto!) Phil Whitmer Phil, List, You don't need Brownian motion of any kind.

Not quite what I was referring to... But Panspermia is a valid theory nonetheless. Regards, Eric Pete Pete wrote: Two words: Panspermia Theory.

Hi Everyone, With all due respect to all. This list has ONE forum. Almost ALL forums online have many forum categories, and most have an off-topic category forum for people to communicate their opinions and discuss off-topic posts. It keeps the community whole and gives members who wish to discuss off-topic issues, a choice. In other words you still do have a choice. Read the post or hit your delete key. The "Alien Life" thread is in fact either indirectly or possibly directly related to meteorites, and therefore VERY worthy of this list. Anyone who'd like to argue that notion should reconsider their own understanding of what the study of meteorites truly means and their own list membership. By complaining about seemingly off-topic posts in regards to aliens people are in effect saying they don't want to learn about their universe. Sorry if that seems harsh, but I've seen a lot worse things on this list than the serious philosophical and scientifically educated discussions of the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. I for one would much rather discuss seriously the alien life subject in relationship to the studies being performed on meteorites, and the evidence being found within them that support the notion of life elsewhere, rather than be a part of a forum who speaks unintelligently about alien abduction, or close encounters and UFO sightings. Besides, the whole reason behind the study of meteorites in the first place is to learn MORE about our universe, and this CERTAINLY includes the search for extraterrestrial life and in fact could center on it. Those who would argue that scientific and logical discussion about the possibilities of life elsewhere in our universe based on the connection between that life and meteorites is somehow "Not Worthy" and "Off-Topic" is somehow not entirely fair or correct. It doesn't have to be a discussion about little green men, it has to do with the study of meteorites and the real possibility of extraterrestrial life, and the direct connections with meteorites if any that exist. To deny that is simply akin to an ostrich sticking it's head in the sand.
