Hyperionxvii Posted May 29, 2022 #12 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Why, when I was a little kid and my parents were driving across the country, did I see faces, and animals, and all sorts of things in those fluffy clouds when I looked out the car window? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCEddie Posted May 31, 2022 #13 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Here is my paredolia masterpiece. I call it "Trump at warp speed". This image resides on my bedroom wooden floor. My co-op buidling's marble lobby is a gallery of pareidolia. In my photo, Trump's head is traveling right to left, closer to the left edge and you can see "his" nose, chin, grin and his long, wavy flowing hair. It may take you a few moments but "he's" visible.

Nobu Posted June 24, 2022 #17 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I try to keep an open mind about almost everything… but if there was some sort of extinct civilization on mars and it left anything for us to see now after this many millions of years… it would resemble, um a mound. Well it would actually be, at most, a very low elevation mound. With its atmosphere and constant bombing of solar radiation and a dead core (last I checked) I can’t see anything being below ground either. I hate to toss out a definite opinion… but if I had to, I’d label - fantasy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just speculate for a moment, lets say at one time mars was a thriving world and had a civilization how long would it take to look as it now does?

I don't follow this logic. I picture a civilization as having large tall buildings made of masonry and metal. Solar radiation wouldn't destroy those and a dead core would prevent earthquakes from knocking them over. There is no rain and the thin atmosphere can only blow light dust around. It's seems like Mars would be the best place in the solar system to preserve these kinds of structures and that they would be easy to find. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereologist Posted June 25, 2022 #20 Share Posted June 25, 2022 A while back some clowns got an article into this junk place called JSE. They asked their readers to look at all of the infrastructure in a photo. Had they stated what they actually thougt it would have been a failure. Did they suggest roads, power lines, pipes, etc. No. They wanted fools to fill in whatever they imagined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without being an astrophysicist/astrobiologist, a few billion years for the atmosphere to essentially evaporate into space and dry out the surface of the planet. Again, I cannot claim any credentials in these fields, so just shooting from the hip. Cheers, Badeskov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I demand evidence, and I am not a narcissist. But I also greatly admire those whom are bold enough to explore possibilities without prior evidence. Explorers, both scientific and otherwise, have made numerous discoveries without prior evidence. Laboratories, within both government and private facilities (think 3M, for just one example) do this all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
