What If You Lived on Mars 1 Billion Years Ago?
Scientists finally did it – they’ve discovered life on Mars! Maybe. To fully understand what they found and what this discovery means for you, let me take you back in time. But I’m not just going to take you back 1 billion years. We’re going to start much, much further back in history.

If you have a ocean before, it says it all really, they already said there was a ocean before.

And that was mars, back then in the goldylockzone, but not anymore. Earths core will eventually cool down the more we get to that goldylock-edge and eventually the core cannot spin enough anymore to sustain earths protection, caused bij more syrup like stuff around the core that slows it down. Was liquid but not anymore. And by then earth will be undoubtly hit by solar storms from the sun that hit by hit slam away the atmosphere thus making earth mars-like. Who knows, maybe life will evolve again on the next planet that enters the habitable goldylock zone. Maybe we humans will find a way to do things we right now find impossible to even imagine. Go Humans! 😂

If only Mars was larger than Earth so that it could have retained enough heat and kept life going.

I did! I was there! The dinosaurs looked much, much weirder on Mars than Earth's grey old things…

Mars was to small to hold its atmosphere so elon musk talking if geoforming mars is BS. The only hypothetic way we could make mars active again would be to knock a planet like venus into it. After the planet has stabilized youd need to bring the mass closer to the sun because itd still be to cold that far from the sun. And with that youd need the water richest moon from jupiter as is has abundances of water and has a similar mass to our moon. Then earth 2.0 would be possible. But we have no idea how to move plates so its impossible.

@davidtyler-ul9vw

Unscientific. The current forces that keep Mars trapped as a dead planet probably kept Mars free of any surface water and thus life for very long.

Why don't you send a drill to mars so you can find life and put it in a test tube

Ancient martian fish that are kind of similar in looks to earlier earthling fish but with a more reddish coat would have been neat tho.

I already wrote about a lot of this stuff in 1999, based on the ideas I had in 1985. Although I never Published my little book.

If life could have moved from Mars to the Earth, could it also have been moved from the Earth to Mrs in the same way? Also, did Mars cool significantly before the Earth did, or did they both reach an ocean/atmosphere state at relatively the same time?

Mars' story makes me sad. It came so close to being a habitable planet, and then it slowly failed.

Do you really think that if we plant on mars in some years it will be some kind of atmosohere?

The Mars cataclysm happened 12,500 years ago and also wiped out the Dinosaurs on Earth… NOT 2.9 Billion years ago.

Idk how it felt to live on mars a billion years ago but last week it was kinda chilly, i would recommend wearing a scarf

Chucks of mars landing on Earth possibly bringing their life here is a fascinating thought. While pure speculation, considering the weird things evolution did I truly can't help but wonder if part of that could be explained with foreign life that was following a completely different path. If these samples get back to us, I'd really like to see if they possibly find similar genetic material here.
