Scientists On the Brink of Finding New Life, Astrobiologist Says

• Professor Lewis Dartnell, an astrobiologist at the University of Westminster in London, thinks that scientists are on the brink discovering extraterrestrial life within the solar system! “We’d be looking for life that is fundamentally different from us and most likely single-celled organisms,” said Dartnell, speaking at the New Scientist Live exhibition in London. “We are exploring our local cosmic neighborhood with machines.”

• Professor Dartnell says if organisms can survive in extremely harsh conditions on Earth, there is no reason why they could not survive on other worlds. For example, methane worms are small worms measuring about two centimeters in length which live deep underwater and survive on methane ice. Saturn’s moon Titan has an average temperature of -150 Celsius and expels large amounts of methane.

• Billions of years ago, Mars was more Earth-like with an abundance of water and a thick atmosphere which made the planet warmer than it is today. Dartnell says, “There is no reason to suppose life didn’t have its genesis on Mars as we did on Earth.”

[Editors Note]   How are these mainstream scientists going to feel when they finally learn that their academic knowledge, and that which has been passed along to their students, has been tremendously suppressed by deep state institutional actors, and that we have been in regular contact with intelligent extraterrestrials since World War II?

 

ALIEN life is out there in our solar system and scientists believe they have the power to find it, an astrobiologist said.

Experts and laymen have been on the hunt for alien life elsewhere in the cosmos for centuries – but scientists now believe extraterrestrials may be in our galactic back garden and they are on the brink of discovering it.

Lewis Dartnell, an astrobiologist at the University of Westminster, says the “huge advances” in technology will lead to the discovery of aliens within the solar system in the not so distant future.

Speaking at the New Scientist Live exhibition in London, Prof Dartnell said: “One of the reasons that scientists are hopeful we might find alien life somewhere in the solar system is because we are exploring our local cosmic neighbourhood with machines.

“We’d be looking for life that is fundamentally different from us and most likely single-celled organisms.”

The astrobiologist – a scientist who hunts for life in the cosmos – says if organisms can survive in extremely harsh conditions on Earth, there is no reason why they could not survive on other worlds.
Prof Dartnell gave the example of methane worms – small worms measuring about two centimetres in length which live deep underwater and survive on methane ice.

He said: “As well as being astonishingly ugly, this animal life form can eat nothing more than frozen fart gas.

“It is an incredible example of the extreme conditions which life can live in.”

The scientist stressed that some conditions on Earth are similar to the environments on other planets, such as the desert-like terrain of Mars or the freezing conditions of Saturn’s moon Titan.
And he also states billions of years ago, Mars was more Earth-like.

The Red Planet once had a thick atmosphere which made the planet warmer than it is today and allowed an abundance of water to build up at a point “when life was just getting started on Earth”.
