RE: FACT CANNON #6: It's Looking Like We Really Did Come From Space - Recent Evidence For Panspermia

in #science8 years ago

Come on now... Granted it doesn't prove it, but it does support it.

Let's assume for the sake of argument that bacteria were proven to be unable to survive re-entry (I know thats not going to happen - this is a logical point) then that would absolutely refute panspermia. Well this experiment has proved that that's not the case, so the argument for panspermia is strengthened as a significant obstacle has been removed. And in any case, the central point here is that the bacteria would not have that capability if it hadn't been selected for - on that basis this bug has had a fairly traumatic history in one way or another.

Re your equation... It's true in my universe! :)
