Are we from Mars?
2007/10/23,20:33

 

I read an interesting article in BBC - " Life from Mars theory put to test "

The theory tested was if meteorites could have carried life forms to earth from Mars. Feel free to read the article at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/highlands_and_islands/7056686.stm

I started thinking about the possibilities of such an event and what would that mean if it were true?

Mars

Will people start to call themselves Marsians? If they do how many references need to be corrected? And if not , and if there life forms in Mars, would they have any similarity to us, humans? Language, technology, Culture - What if they are replica of us?

In some of the parts of the world, I am witnessing the focus to retain the old names to cities, despite the new name being in use for a few centuries. People who are familiar with this can identify with my wonder on "Marsians".

In some of the ancient yogic literature, I found some references for life forms similar to we, people in other planets, world and recently as fancy as in Star Trek.

While these explorations are within the territory of my imagination, I need to admit that it is still fascinating. One day, I think, we humans will unwrap or fully discover who we are and where we are from. It may become so simple as watching a natural scenery!

Thanks to BBC for the information. Thanks to www.calacademy.org for the beautiful picture of 'Mars' land.
