    ‘It felt like a funeral’: William Shatner reflects on voyage to space | William Shatner | The Guardian
    https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2022/oct/11/it-felt-like-a-funeral-william-shatner-reflects-on-voyage-to-space

    “Everything I had thought was wrong. Everything I had expected to see was wrong,” he wrote. “I had thought that going into space would be the ultimate catharsis of that connection I had been looking for between all living things – that being up there would be the next beautiful step to understanding the harmony of the universe.”

    The Canadian, who captivated the world in his role as Captain James Kirk of Star Trek’s USS Enterprise, broke down in tears upon landing, describing having had “the most profound experience I can imagine”. “I hope I never recover from this,” he said at the time. “I’m so filled with emotion about what just happened. It’s extraordinary, extraordinary

    But a year after touching down back to Earth, Shatner wrote in the excerpt: “I discovered that the beauty isn’t out there, it’s down here, with all of us. Leaving that behind made my connection to our tiny planet even more profound.”

    “It was among the strongest feelings of grief I have ever encountered. The contrast between the vicious coldness of space and the warm nurturing of Earth below filled me with overwhelming sadness.

    “Every day, we are confronted with the knowledge of further destruction of Earth at our hands: the extinction of animal species, of flora and fauna … things that took 5bn years to evolve, and suddenly we will never see them again because of the interference of mankind. It filled me with dread.

    “My trip to space was supposed to be a celebration; instead, it felt like a funeral.”

    Mars ‘Very Likely’ Hosted Subterranean Alien Life, And May Still, Scientists Say

    Early Mars habitability and global cooling by H2-based methanogens | Nature Astronomy
    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-022-01786-w

    During the Noachian, Mars’ crust may have provided a favourable environment for microbial life1,2. The porous brine-saturated regolith3,4,5 would have created a physical space sheltered from ultraviolet and cosmic radiation and provided a solvent, whereas the below-ground temperature2 and diffusion6,7 of a dense, reduced atmosphere8,9 may have supported simple microbial organisms that consumed H2 and CO2 as energy and carbon sources and produced methane as a waste. On Earth, hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis was among the earliest metabolisms10,11, but its viability on early Mars has never been quantitatively evaluated. Here we present a probabilistic assessment of Mars’ Noachian habitability to H2-based methanogens and quantify their biological feedback on Mars’ atmosphere and climate. We find that subsurface habitability was very likely, and limited mainly by the extent of surface ice coverage. Biomass productivity could have been as high as in the early Earth’s ocean. However, the predicted atmospheric composition shift caused by methanogenesis would have triggered a global cooling event, ending potential early warm conditions, compromising surface habitability and forcing the biosphere deep into the Martian crust. Spatial projections of our predictions point to lowland sites at low-to-medium latitudes as good candidates to uncover traces of this early life at or near the surface.

    A New Philosophy Of Planetary Computation
    https://www.noemamag.com/a-new-philosophy-of-planetary-computation/

    The Earth is in the process of growing a planetary-scale technostructure of computation — an almost inconceivably vast and complex interlocking system (or system of systems) of sensors, satellites, cables, communications protocols and software. The development of this structure reveals and deepens our fundamental condition of planetarity — the techno-mediated self-awareness of the inescapability of our embeddedness in an Earth-spanning biogeochemical system that is undergoing severe disruptions from the relative stability of the previous ten millennia. This system is both an evolving physical and empirical fact and, perhaps even more importantly, a radical philosophical event — one that is at once forcing us to face up to how differently we will have to live, and enabling us, in practice, to live differently.

    Overview SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic as January-February 2022: Likely Cometary Origin, Global Spread, Prospects for Future Vaccine Efficacy
    https://researchopenworld.com/overview-sars-cov-2-pandemic-as-january-february-2022-likely-cometary-origin-global-spread-prospects-for-future-vaccine-efficacy/

    As the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is nearing its eventual end we focus on what we believe are two key omissions from the mainstream scientific literature and which have significant implications for how mankind manages the next global pandemic. We therefore review data, observations, analyses and conclusions from our series of papers published through 2020 and 2021 on its likely cometary origin and global spread. We also revisit our long held understanding of the superior effectiveness of intra-nasal vaccines against respiratory tract pathogens that involve induction of dimeric secretory IgA antibodies. While these two oversights seem disparate, together they provide us with new insights into our collective awareness of how we might view and address the next global pandemic. We begin with our hypothesis of the likely cometary origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus via a bolide strike in the stratosphere on the night of October 11 2019 on the 40o N line over Jilin in NE China. Further global spread most likely occurred via prevailing wind systems transporting both the pristine cometary virus followed by continuing strikes from the same primary source as well as prior human-passaged virus transmitted by person to person spread and through contaminated dust in global wind systems. We also include a discussion of our prior work on data relating to vaccine protective efficacy.

    Experiments to prove continuing microbial ingress from Space to Earth - PMC
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7340390/

    If both the space incident microorganisms and terrestrial microbes originate from disconnected pieces of a single cosmic biosphere (Earth and space) their genetic difference may well turn out to be subtle and even difficult to detect. Indeed, an ISRO sponsored balloon flight into the stratosphere in 2006 recovered three new bacterial species that are genetically similar (80% homologous) to known terrestrial species but sufficiently different to be classified as different species (Shivaji, Chaturvedi, Begum, et al., 2009). The first of the new species recovered from 41 km was named Janibacter hoylei, after Fred Hoyle.

    To conclude, we would remark that signs of imminent change—a major paradigm shift—have come from many directions and such a paradigm shift is now unavoidable (Steele et al., 2018, Steele et al., 2019). The crucial data to clinch this shift must come from the results of experiments such as we have discussed here involving the recovery of microbes of space origin, and by establishing such an origin beyond a shadow of doubt. In this way we would conclude that the evolution of life takes place not just within a closed biosphere on our minuscule planet Earth but extends over a vast and connected volume of the cosmos.

    2015 Biological Entities Isolated from Two Stratosphere Launches-Continued Evidence for a Space Origin
    https://www.researchgate.net/publication/274956493_Biological_Entities_Isolated_from_Two_Stratosphere_Launches-Continued_Evidence_for_a_Space_Origin

    Here, we provide images of a variety of biological entities which we have sampled from the stratosphere at heights of between 23-25 Km. The biological entities have unusual morphology and are generally not representatives of known terrestrial organisms. Analysis using EDX shows that all of the BEs contain only C and O and are not associated on the sampling stubs with pollen, grass or other terrestrial organisms. Images are provided of some of the biological entities which were sampled from our first and third successful sampling trips, a second trip isolated inorganic micrometeorites, but not biological entities. We conclude that the evidence points to a space origin for these stratosphere-derived biological entities.

    Advice to Young People. Towards the end of two podcasts in the… | by Avi Loeb | Aug, 2022 | Medium
    https://avi-loeb.medium.com/advice-to-young-people-dbc633234a85

    Newspapers and social media are consumed by events on Earth. But there is much more to the universe than meets the eye on Earth. Let me illustrate that with three examples. First, the doctoral thesis submitted in 1925 by the young scientist, Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, showed that the Sun has a different composition from that of the Earth and is made mostly of hydrogen. She was dissuaded by the authority on stars at the time, Henry Norris Russell, from including this conclusion in her thesis. Four years later, he confirmed her conclusion. In the second example from 1933, a young Fritz Zwicky argued that most of the matter in the Universe is made of a substance different from what we find in the Solar system. For four decades his suggestion was still sidelined by his colleagues at Caltech. By now, Zwicky’s notion is mainstream although we still do not know what the dark matter is. In a third example, the first two interstellar objects discovered over the past five years, CNEOS 2014–01–08 and `Oumuamua, have anomalous properties relative to the comets and asteroids found in the Solar system. Yet, the possibility of an artificial origin for them is sidelined. This is on the backdrop of us knowing that the dice of intelligence was rolled tens of billions of times in the Milky Way alone and that humanity launched five spacecraft out of the solar system over a period as short as one part of a hundred million of the age of the Sun.

    While adult “experts” celebrate the “known” and sideline the “unknown”, the actual message we get over and over again from the cosmos is that we should not pretend to be anything more than curious children on their first day in class.

    Scientists Debate Gaia: The Next Century

    Scientists Debate Gaia is a multidisciplinary reexamination of the Gaia hypothesis, which was introduced by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis in the early 1970s. The Gaia hypothesis holds that Earth's physical and biological processes are linked to form a complex, self-regulating system and that life has affected this system over time. Until a few decades ago, most of the earth sciences viewed the planet through disciplinary lenses: biology, chemistry, geology, atmospheric and ocean studies. The Gaia hypothesis, on the other hand, takes a very broad interdisciplinary approach. Its most controversial aspect suggests that life actively participates in shaping the physical and chemical environment on which it depends in a way that optimizes the conditions for life. Despite intial dismissal of the Gaian approach as New Age philosophy, it has today been incorporated into mainstream interdisciplinary scientific theory, as seen in its strong influence on the field of Earth System Science. Scientists Debate Gaia provides a fascinating, multi-faceted examination of Gaia as science and addresses significant criticism of, and changes in, the hypothesis since its introduction. In the book, 53 contributors explore the scientific, philosophical, and theoretical foundations of Gaia. They address such topics as the compatibility of natural selection and Gaian processes, Gaia and the "thermodynamics of life," the role of computer models in Gaian science (from James Lovelock's famous but controversial "Daisyworld" to more sophisticated models that use the techniques of artificial life), pre-Socratic precedents for the idea of a "Living Earth," and the climate of the Amazon Basin as a Gaian system.
