Report: #0204
In this
report, I show you Martian life.
It is not
life as we generally know it, though there are parallels here on Earth in
minuscule forms—but sufficient for scientists to study them.
Scientists
see in these forms of life, found on Earth, that we could also find them on
Mars. To this day, there is no clear and
definitive definition of what life is. Possibly, we will never be able to
describe it with words. Our classification of life has too few words and
comparisons.
Our egocentric thinking still does not allow us to step out of our shadow; we don't want to place ourselves in a long line of possible forms of life in the universe. We want to be at the top, or at least in the first place in that line.
Sharing the universe with different forms of life on various planets is not something we can accept from one day to the next. The day will come when biologists, geologists, and scientists from new disciplines will have to propose new descriptions, with new names, functions, and adaptations of forms of life to environments unknown to us.
Let us move
on to my description. At the end of this report, I will include texts from a
website with a very interesting description of forms of life.
In these
images, we see something like a channel or the bed of a dry river.
This
channel runs, more or less, in one direction—probably sinking into a crater and
continuing on the other side, or coming from the other side toward this crater.
I cannot
determine exactly the direction of a river flow or lava that ran through this
channel. I believe it goes from left to right in the image, with interruptions
caused by erosion.
These "individuals" cannot arise from erosion in the Martian environment. Erosion, with the help of gravity, drags solid material toward lower places, to lower levels.
Any current of water, lava, or displacement of earth by earthquakes, thawing, or freezing of material with accumulated moisture can dislodge material, but it always moves downward. The physical laws, which seem to be the same as on Earth, do not allow any other direction.
And what
about the wind? Yes, the wind can come mainly from two opposite directions,
from the north or south, normally with enough force to erode the land and its
derivatives, like buildings, tiles, bricks, walls, or other constructions.
However,
the wind cannot act in a protected place below the surface, like a crater or a
riverbed, where the walls shelter it. Nor can it change its path over meters of
distance and carve, like an artist, similar forms along hundreds or thousands
of meters, nor in different places distributed across the entire planet.
Observe
these lines: For me, they are living beings or plants, never aligned parallel
to the logical direction of possible erosion by climatic or environmental
factors. They are always placed at a ninety-degree angle. What does this mean?
Farmers in
Japan and Brazil know what contour lines are in cultivation areas. For readers
who do not know agricultural crops on uneven terrain, I explain in a few words:
Dry rice plantations (not sown under water) are done in terraces. In case of
rain, the force of the water moves slowly to lower levels because each step in
the terrain slows it down, giving time for the soil to absorb the moisture.
In Brazil,
the same is done in larger areas to prevent erosion, which would drag the sandy
soil in a few years toward lowlands or directly to rivers, which turn reddish
from the eroded soil.
In the
analysis of Mars images, I have been surprised many times by this grouping
against the laws of gravitation.
Something
inert, like a dune, cannot resist along the force of gravity and erosion. Only
something alive can oppose these forces and use the currents and erosion for
its own strengthening.
What could
be a natural exploitation? Logically, the absorption of elements, mainly water.
The water that could occasionally run through these channels, in lesser or
greater quantity, would be maximally filtered in this way. Here we return to
the word "filter." As in the previous report,
"Tell
Me Where You Live, and I'll Tell You Who You Are,"
a filter
must face the maximum possible surface to the flow of the liquid it wants to
filter.
If they
were placed in parallel, they could not take advantage of an eventual sporadic
flow of liquid from rains, mists, or thawing ice.
These
evidences are a clear sign that these forms of life—whether vegetal, mineral,
or a mixture of biological and mineral life—have sensors and living cells
capable of absorbing and retaining moisture.
An
organization is observed that opposes the enormous force of gravity and resists
erosion. Erosion is caused mainly by climatic effects. With time and weather,
environmental changes occur.
In the long
term, the tendency is to fill holes and low places with earth and sediments,
without leaving spaces.
Erosion and
time cover the errors of chaos and the actions of a planet's inhabitants.
Only life,
the force of creation, and evolution are capable of seeking new places,
occupying unknown environments, facing new situations, and adapting to start a
new cycle of life—hopefully with more luck than other species or races. It will not be different in any corner of the
universe.

Below, I include an article from the internet http://axxon.com.ar/not/149/c-1490035.htm that describes the different forms of life very well. It is recommended to read the full article. I only include some excerpts so you can see that my definition of life is not entirely wrong.

NASA began to analyze the so-called "stromatolites" which are rock structures that consist of layers of seaweed mud inside.
"These organisms can be our best example of what to look for on other planets," said Brad Bebout, a researcher at Ames Research Center of NASA.
Stromatolites are, by definition, organo-sedimentary laminated structures (primarily calcium carbonate) adhered to the substrate, a product of the metabolic activity of microorganisms (mainly cyanoprokariotas cyanobacterial or algal), but also participate in the green algae carbonate precipitation.
Among the micro flora can also be found diatoms, fungi, crustaceans, insects, spores, pollen, red algae and sediment and fragments of all kinds. The organic variety depend on the type of environment they are growing: hypersaline, freshwater, intertidal, subtidal, etc.. They are rock structures and porous, rough surface-gelatinous product mucilaginous secretions.
On the surface algae grow while you are precipitating carbonates and trapping sediments, which after years will be consolidated as a rock. In this way the structure increases in size, horizontally and / or vertically.
The stromatolites may have many different forms: columnar, domal hemispherical, head shaped in the form of "bed" or "twinky wonder", cone-shaped shrub or as may be conical, blister or combinations form.
There stromatolites in any geological era (from the Precambrian), even today continue to grow in many parts of the world. In Mexico today stromatolites can be found in the lagoon of Alchichica, Pue., In Las Huertas, Mor., In Cuatrociénegas, Coahuila., And other towns of Oaxaca, Yucatan and San Luis Potosi.

La NASA comenzó a analizar los denominados "estromatolitos”, que son estructuras rocosas que consisten en capas de algas con lodo en su interior.
"Estos organismos pueden ser nuestro mejor ejemplo de qué buscar en otros planetas", explicó Brad Bebout, un investigador del Centro de Investigación Ames de la NASA.
Los estromatolitos son, por definición, estructuras organo-sedimentarias laminadas (principalmente de carbonato de calcio) adheridas al sustrato, producto de la actividad metabólica de microorganismos (principalmente cianobacterias o algas cyanoprokariotas), aunque también las clorofitas participan en la precipitación de carbonatos.
Entre la micro flora también se pueden encontrar diatomeas, hongos, crustáceos, insectos, esporas, polen, rodofitas y fragmentos y sedimentos de todo tipo. La variedad orgánica dependerá del tipo de ambiente en que estén creciendo: hipersalino, dulceacuícola, intermareales, submareales, etc. Son estructuras rocosas y porosas, de superficie rugosa-gelatinosa, producto de las secreciones mucilaginosas.
Sobre la superficie van creciendo las algas, al tiempo en que van precipitando carbonatos y atrapando sedimentos, que después de años se consolidarán como roca. De esta manera la estructura aumenta en tamaño, horizontal y/o verticalmente.
Los estromatolitos pueden tener muchas formas distintas: columnares, domales hemiesféricos, en forma de cabezal, en forma de "cama" o de "twinky wonder", en forma de cono o en forma de arbusto, pueden ser cónicos, alveolados o con combinaciones de forma. Existen estromatolitos en cualquier era geológica (desde el Precámbrico), incluso actualmente siguen creciendo en muchos lugares del mundo. En México pueden encontrarse estromatolitos actuales en la laguna de Alchichica, Pue., en Las Huertas, Mor., en Cuatrociénegas, Coah., y en otras localidades de Oaxaca, Yucatán y San Luis Potosí.
