The paper on this was supposed to be released on 14th but somebody jumped the gun and actually released it first, so that's why cache link (they deleted the original page for the moment)

Apparently some scientists pointed telescopes/tools at Venus to check that they work and don't find anything surprising, and ended up finding phosphine in the atmosphere. Phosphine on earth is made in labs and in biological processes, and has long time been thought to be a good sign of biological activity if found on rocky planets.

They tried to replicate making it in similar conditions as you'd expect in Venus, but couldn't find a way. So obviously not aliens confirmed, but pretty strong signal and going to be interesting to see the follow up research. The surface on Venus is hot and in high pressure, but Venus' atmosphere is pretty earth-like conditions, but with a lot of CO2 (which would be good gas for this kind of biological processes on earth)

If found to be true, would be really interesting to a lot of questions, like how widespread is life in the universe, also a bad sign regarding Great Filter paradox/hypothesis.

Twitter thread with also a video they made about the findings: https://twitter.com/brianroemmele/st...84620304232448

I'm not sure why you'd be shocked to find life anywhere other than Earth. I'm guessing life exists on the frozen moons of Jupiter or Saturn. I think that's pretty much a given.

But, this thread sucks.

One of your worst takes and there are a lot to choose from.

I hope it turns out to be nothing. Finding out that life has started multiple times in our own solar system would effectively doom us as a species.

Like I give a fcuk what you think.

Welcome to the universe. Enjoy what you have.

Aren't women from Venus?

Of course not, women were created from Adam's rib. Everyone knows that.

RG,

OMGSTFUJFC

RG,
You made one of these posts again.

RG is not pleased tonight.

Bring it on, douchenozzels. I've got all night, and I'm in the mood.

I apologize LKJ.

Douche-nozzles

Cry more *****.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Funny while true.

Big if true

Yeah, it would mean that all advanced species eventually go through a 2020 AD.

Wouldn't be so interesting to study the life tho?! I mean, biochemically they must be fascinating. Do they use ATP? What kind of cell membranes do they have to survive that environment? Water? Is it protein based like us? Use DNA/RNA? Follow the central dogma? Is it even cellular?!

I don't think they have telephones over there.

Could be wrong tho..

Bro, did you miss the Rogan podcast?

It seems like you're making a lot of assumptions. WE HAVE NO IDEA!

Wouldn't be too surprised if it winds up being some type of microscopic organism similar to what lives near those volcanic vents at the bottom of the ocean (high temperature, high pressure, low oxygen)

Why do you have to be a dick roundguy? This is interesting news and I for one am glad it got brought to my attention.

Tell roundwoman to give you some pussy
