Divine Designs: Stones veins

Report: #0199

As always in the “Divine Designs” series, the location from which the image originates remains a secret. Of course, it is a location on Mars, which makes this type of image even more mysterious and exclusive.

You cannot view these images as science, but rather as art, as digital art.

Enjoy another image from the series: Divine Designs – Living Stones.

Two photos can be enlarged. All others are static and can also be used as wallpaper.

 

If you look at X-rays of the stones, you can see their veins.

The Elements of Life on Mars

 

 

Report: #0198

The chemistry of life is based on or built from inorganic matter. The skeleton of all animals is made of calcium and carbon (CaCO3). Large parts of the rest of the bodies are from the union of one hydrogen atom with two oxygen atoms (H2O), or simply water.  We still do not know what effect causes inorganic matter to transform into life, into organic matter.

Possibly, only small energy differences in the atoms regulate the attraction between them. Like opposite magnets attract with this invisible force, different atoms feel a very strong attraction to atoms of other elements. The force of adhesion varies depending on the element produced by the union. The more energy is used for the transformation of the elements, the heavier the new atoms are. This also makes their separation more difficult. The main forces used in nature are heat and pressure, and in counterpoint, gravitation, which separated the atoms of the elements again and again in the past. I am talking about cooled planetary and lunar bodies. Where there is heat in these celestial bodies—whether in the depths or on the surface—the transformation of the elements continues.  This attraction of atoms to saturation, forming new elements in this way, is already a form of life, though still inorganic.

The next step is the adhesion and bonding of these atoms, forming molecules in longer chains that create threads, rings, or crystals, as well as other forms.

"In chemistry, a molecule is defined as a set of at least two atoms covalently bonded that form a stable and electrically neutral system." 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecule

Carbon and hydrogen are the most important elements for forming matter in the two possible forms: inorganic and organic.

The step from one manifestation to the other is very intimate, and thus the relationship between them is just as intimate.  We will not delve deeper into the secrets of life in this report; I only want to show that on Mars too, we have the ingredients to form organic life.

In this image 1/7, we see this dark matter as never before seen in any image. This detail was always shown in gray, in black and white. Never was it so evident that on Mars, we have the ingredients of life. The dark matter is carbon, and the veins are calcium carbonate (CaCO3), carbonate rocks. A carbonate is produced only with the presence of liquid water. Everything that is possible to do in laboratories is another story. I speak of natural environments.  The only thing we cannot set aside in our observation is the time the planet Mars had available for the evolution of life.

The beginnings of the cooling of Earth and the planet Mars are parallel in time. Also the presence of water, but we do not know if the presence of liquid water on Mars's surface was prolonged enough to give rise to life.  It is worth remembering that recently, the possibility of finding water on a planet was flatly denied. Hydrogen, carbon, silicon, calcium, and sodium chloride. As well as oxygen.

In the months of December 2012 and January 2013, we received images showing veins of calcium carbonate in sandstone rocks.

The announcement of finding hydrogenated carbon molecules—a union between carbon and hydrogen, our favorite ingredient of the organic and living, like all life on our Earth—was cautiously softened and withdrawn as a mistaken announcement. It seems they still do not want to write the new history, as was said that the books of that history—which does not speak of the possibility of life outside our planet—would have to be rewritten.  Hydrogen has already been found, for example, by Phoenix and other satellites in Mars's atmosphere. Perchlorates were also found, which are the salts of perchloric acid (HClO4), perchlorate salts.

Sodium chloride (NaCl), calcium chloride. What was missing was calcium and carbon. The union is calcium carbonate (CaCO3), carbonate rocks.

Magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) is another combination of carbon with a metallic element, magnesium. Iron carbonate (FeCO3) is also a carbon compound.

Calcium carbonate is no longer deniable by the color in the Curiosity images. Although at the same time, images from the Opportunity rover with the same calcium veins in another place appear only in black and white and not so easily recognizable.  How many discoveries have we missed due to the lack of color in the images and the sharpness that is also lacking?

Here again, the omission or manipulation of the images makes this dark matter almost unnoticed. I believe that with a small manipulation of the colors on my part—but in favor of seeing the true matter—it came out as a perfect and sensational image.  In this image, we have the calcium veins that embedded themselves inside the rock with the support—and only possible with—the circulation of liquid water that passed through small cracks in the rocks and carried with it atoms of calcium. These atoms formed chains of molecules with other elements, like sulfate, and got trapped inside to form these veins, which, when they dried, hardened. With more erosion from water and wind, some remained well visible and protruding like a network of veins.

A vein of calcium carbonate. Only with liquid water penetrating the rocks can cracks be filled with calcium or other elements.

These processes are well known on Earth, and there are these veins of almost any element, even veins of metal, and gold is found and mined for its value.

Veins in marble stones are used for their beauty to decorate floors, columns, or tables. Almost every element has an industrial use today.  

Large pieces of calcium carbonate: signs of liquid water in the time of production in Mars's past.

And why would it have to be different on a planet so similar to ours? There will be no difference on billions of planets in any galaxy. The percentages will vary due to many effects, like pressure, volcanic activity, and other factors, but always the same elements in greater or lesser percentages.

It would be strange if life did not take advantage of the presence of all these elements to form life at its different levels on other planets as well.  The argument that there is no liquid water on Mars we can contradict: Yes, there is, and even more surely, there was in abundance.

From everything we know, water is present in the form of ice and, very likely, in liquid form in Mars's subsurface.

I believe we will find entire seas and an immense amount of groundwater.

In almost every crater, it is seen that the pressure of groundwater opens the walls and lets the water out. Long and multiple channels show it. Some seem like frozen waterfalls; others caused landslides of earth to lower levels.  We will find underground lakes, and there we will see multiple forms of life that survived the changing climate on the surface.

I believe that intelligent life escaped to another planet when Mars began to suffer this stop in the circulation of hydrogen to the atmosphere and vice versa, as rain to the surface of Mars.

This was the moment when the rivers dried up, the seas received no more water from them, and also a part evaporated, and the rest froze or was lost in the subsurface.

The circuit of hydrogen atoms was cut with an abrupt climate change. There was no longer enough heat to vaporize water and form clouds that the wind carries across the entire planet. The rains no longer fell, and the river channels dried up. Much life ended in a short time.  Life capable of entering caves survived and adapted. The smaller it was, the easier its survival. The dinosaurs no longer had the possibility to reach liquid water.

Thus, the large species ended. Intelligent life can transform any environment into a home. That's why I believe Mars is still inhabited, but in smaller numbers. A civilization accustomed to seeing the sun and plants on the land surely did everything possible to reach another planet—and what would be more logical, from the point of view of an intelligent being on Mars, than to go to Earth or to some habitable moons of Saturn?  So, do not doubt the presence of people from Mars among us—if we are not them ourselves.

Vicky Pedía – Vicky Asked

Reflection: #029

I describe a sad reality in a poem, a bit melancholic.

Hunger and loneliness are the daily bread of countless children and numerous creatures.

This observation of mine certainly does not only touch my heart very painfully, but it affects thousands upon thousands of children in their bodies and souls.

Are we really not able to end hunger in the world?

If we built one rocket less, one armored tank less, one rifle less, one cartridge less—how much more food could we buy with the money saved, and how much suffering would we spare? 

On a cold morning, very distressed and hungry,
Vicky the Dog asked of them,
because they won't miss it,
a tasty bone for her food.
One not too small she wanted, one a little thick. 

From a chicken, they gave her neither the beak nor the claws.
Yes, they stuck feathers on her.
The feathers and the wings, for no reason.
She got up in the air and started to fly, the Dog,
but fear weighed so heavily on her heart.
Out of so much fear, she fell to the ground.
She crashed hard and couldn't take it anymore,
and her short life was over.  

On a cold morning, very distressed and hungry,
Pepi, the poor man, asked for some money,
because they won't miss it,
for his food, from the owner's wallet.
He did not want less; an excellent dinner was his dream.
Between jokes and laughter,
to give him something, they showed no hurry.
Pepi, already very weak, took the gun from his belt.
What he did, now we know, was crazy.
They were afraid of the toy gun in his hand.
From behind, they gave him a bullet that pierced his heart.
The hunger and the lead were so heavy on him that he couldn't stand it.
He fell to the ground, and his short life was over. 

On a cold morning, very suffering and hungry,
Vicky, the Dog, in heaven, asked Peter.
He missed nothing. Therefore, Vicky asked St. Peter
for food, enough bones, and a warm place.
Not so far away, near the kitchen, she wanted to stay. 

 

They gave her the chicken breast and legs,
and the little angels, they put feathers on her.
The feathers and the wings, for no reason.
She rose above the clouds and began to fly, the Dog.
She didn't feel her weight or the fear in her heart.
She never wanted to return to Earth.
And her short life, in heaven, as a little angel began.  

On a cold morning, very sorrowful and hungry,
Pepi, the poor man, asked Peter.
Because he lacks nothing,
for crispy bread and hot milk.
Not so little he wanted, Pepi the Brave.  

The little angels, between jokes and laughter,
to give him something, they showed much haste.
Pepi, already very weak, ate the bread with his hands.
He drank the hot milk and thanked God.
He felt no more hunger and no more fear.
The cold disappeared from his heart and his body, 

and his short life, in heaven, as a little angel began. 

On a cold morning, very suffering and hungry,
the sun was already shining during the day,
on Earth, she was back.
Vicky, the Dog, woke up; she was still alive.
Fortunately, everything she'd dreamed about was just a nightmare.  

On a cold morning, very distressed and hungry,
the sun was already shining during the day,
on Earth, he was back.
Pepi, the poor guy, woke up; he was still alive.
Fortunately, everything he had dreamed of was just a nightmare.

Life in the Crater

Report: #0196

Here, I show you images of the same place as in report #0195:Roots, with its own life, but with emphasis on a special form of life.  In the center of this image, let's observe a crater. This crater is approximately 150 meters in diameter. Small for Mars, but I wouldn't have wanted to be nearby when a meteor caused this hole with its impact. For a time, it surely remained like that—clean and empty. But why, in a dead world as they assure us, can so many craters and holes on Mars's surface fill up little by little?

On the Moon, from what we see, this phenomenon does not occur. Though something strange happens there too. In a report, I showed that a crater filled not just once, but at least twice. In that report on the Moon, I explained that after an impact, the crater filled completely, possibly with lava. But what happened in the second impact? It filled again, but this time probably with water. Here is the report on the impact on the Moon: 

Lunar anomalies Part-2 second impact and fill

http://marsandufosmysteries.blogspot.com/2010/09/lunar-anomalies-part-2-second-impact.html

Low places in craters have two effects: one is that they are a hiding spot; the other, and more important, is that they offer shelter from the wind. Probably—and contrary to claims that the atmosphere is very thin, light, and without oxygen—there are storms with strong winds and gusts. We saw it in some images sent, for example, by Phoenix:

http://ovnidigiart.blogspot.com/2008/09/phoenix-temblando-ser-de-miedo-o-por-el.html

http://ovnidigiart.blogspot.com/2008/09/un-torbellino-al-lado-de-phoenix.html

http://ovnidigiart.blogspot.com/2008/09/la-tormenta-despus-del-torbellino-en.html

Wind is more annoying than calm cold. The depth of a crater protects from wind, but not from cold. Cold air runs to the lowest places. Inside a crater, it may be colder than on the surface.

If there is a living being, it chooses, if it can. Wind, distant view, and being seen from afar, or cold, but hidden. Normally, animals tend to hide, adopting forms and colors of their surroundings so as not to be seen or recognized as prey or hunter. But there is another effect: being as deep as possible. Water, which is so scarce or hard to obtain, logically accumulates in the lowest places. If I had to drill with roots the hard, frozen, rocky surface, I would also seek lower places. There, water from rains or mists can accumulate; moreover, drilling with roots is more feasible than hundreds of meters higher up.  If I could create myself, I would design myself with roots capable of drilling rocks and frozen ground to reach groundwater, which certainly exists on Mars. But I would also use my surface to absorb heat and moisture. It is seen in this species—and in many other images I will present—that they have something like mushroom spores, threads, and fine nets to filter something.

What seems a bit blurry or white are probably leaves, tentacles, threads, hairs, or spores, for their protection or to filter something useful for them. This living being—plant, fungus, or whatever we want to call it—covers almost the entire crater.

But moreover, it extends its tentacles outward on two opposite sides, forming something like an animal with a tail and long neck, approximately 260 meters in length. I cannot confirm that it is an animal, but it is something alive. Never would wind or erosion produce something like this. Wind, if blowing for millions of years, yes, can fill craters of any size.

Here, no accumulation of earth and sand from one direction is seen. No, here an structure is seen that takes advantage of the crater for its comfort. It is also noticeable that it is doing well: it is fatter and larger than the others, though there are others longer and thinner.

All have a fine tip that, almost always, disappears into the subsurface. Some come from one side, descend a crater, and rise again, or continue in a curve toward a rock. I repeat and confirm: It is a form of life. Mars is full of them. On many occasions, a crater with a single individual of these inside is seen.  In this image, the tip of one of these tongues or roots is seen coiled. Look closely at the white box: It coils like the tail of some animal on Earth.

I show you another image, but so that you can comment, opine, or laugh yourselves.

Surely, it is a false optical illusion, but it gives me the impression that someone is taking a bite out of one of these roots or lizards. I say no more; I don't want, because of a wrong explanation, the entire report to lose value.

Roots with a Life of Their Own

Report: #0195

Roots, with its own life, or dunes made by the wind …?

Everything seems to indicate that there is a system in the chronology of the discovery of life on Mars and in the universe in general. First, it was God. Then, God and man.

More daring—because we already ate from the apple of wisdom—was man with God or with the gods. Man placed himself in front and created the gods in his own way. That's when life began in heaven, or in the heavens. The gods became independent from men, their creators, and returned or stayed in the heavens forever.

Thus, man was left alone.

No god was seen around anymore, and the existence of someone outside Earth became a myth. Even the gods were not sure of their existence.

Everyday life developed in civilized countries, like Egypt, Greece, Persia, Ethiopia, Rome in Italy, and along the coasts toward Spain, rising to the islands of the Irish and English. Neither India, nor much less China or America, were known. If someone spoke of distant islands, they didn't believe him.

Only artifacts found of gold increased the interest—surely from indigenous people, from people not worthy of being named as such. European aristocracy did not accept the idea that there was another race or culture like theirs. 

The Pope flatly denied the existence of other civilizations that had the right to be considered men of God. Only with the mission and Christianization could they become part of earthly life. 

Now, after more than two thousand years of total darkness in science, in recognizing the universe as a giant dimension in which we are only a small part, astronomical and physical phenomena begin to be analyzed.

But we are still far from understanding the collected data—or at least, they are not interpreted in a purely scientific way. No, surely they are already analyzed, but interpreted for the public in a religious order, then political, and finally (or first), military. Also economic, because it's good business.

Today, I believe we already have extra-human sensors, like super-sensitive telescopes and radars, that fill us with irrevocable data. But there is always someone—like in the Church—who has to interpret the words. If it's not the Bible, then it's the data sent by the numerous satellites we have as eyes and ears out there beyond our Earth. 

The first prophets were misinterpreted because the first to hear something out of the ordinary—like the presence of a god with some flying apparatus—did not repeat it with the same words. He no longer had faith in what he heard nor the words to describe the new news. Surely, the religious or political powers also had no will to spread the presence of someone else, probably stronger and more powerful than themselves. 

Now, NASA allows us to see some selected photos. From these images, we—the people—can read some new characteristics, previously flatly denied.

NASA satellites clearly receive signals of hydrogen and methane molecules on Mars.

Phoenix landed on a sheet of ice, put something in an oven to analyze the vapor produced by the heated ice, and they couldn't determine if it was water or not. 

Some Links:

El sistema del análisis de la Tierra del Phoenix era...

Phoenix broke the ice!

Ice under the Phoenix Mars Lander

The Phoenix of snows, and not from the ashes

Although it is clearly seen in the images that there is snow and ice, it is not officially recognized. Later, they found some oil, petroleum, and salt, which, according to them, totally prevents life in such soil. Methane, petroleum, and salt are biological products—something alive or products of something alive. But they are capable of giving another interpretation. 

Now, I look at images of Mars and find biological structures in every one. Even dunes can be biological if they have organization, an orientation toward a magnetic or electrical structure. Why do I say this?

Wind cannot carry sand in curves, unite it in low parts of a crater, and make it climb walls—or, on the contrary, descend to the ground in search of water. If there are no magnetic or electrical lines, a dead dune goes nowhere. Sand accumulates in mountains, but without logical orientation. Here, in these photos, roots are seen that come or go in curves and end in the subsurface.

These roots divide or unite in the middle of their bodies, like veins, like plant roots.

Even if it is an accumulation of sand, I am convinced that they have some magnetism, some need caused by an electrical impulse, by sensors sensitive to some attraction to water or a magnetic field.

Forms of life can be so different from what is known that we cannot discover them easily. The laws of life are the same everywhere, but the transformation of these physical effects has no limits in its fantasy.

What does evolution care about time? Nothing. It uses it as food for its creations. A tree does not move, a plant with roots does not walk, but grows, opens and closes its flowers every morning and night. The movement of something alive can be fast, but also slow.  My interpretations—even everything—can be wrong, but let's not let a small club of wise men interpret the evidences for us.

Let us interpret for ourselves what we see. If the color I see is the same as the one you see, we will never know.

So it will be with the descriptions in the future of biologists and geologists on other planets. But let us be very careful not to be deceived for another thousands of years with false testimonies, with the denial of more lives and places with life outside our reach or sight.

Let us no longer deny something as natural as life.
