Indian theorist, NASA agree human life on Mars a billion years away
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Indian cosmo theorist Dr. Raj Baldev has long expressed the opinion that it would take one billion years for Mars to mirror Earth's ability to support human life, says Marie Rom in her column for the International Reporter, and Professor David Catling -- along with fellow professors and some NASA peers -- tends to agree with Baldev's theory.
I have read in one of the interviews of Dr. Raj Baldev, Cosmo Theorst from India, very recently reiterating his views on life on Mars.
Dr. Raj Baldev feels that it would take about 1 billion years to expect Mars to come to the level of Earth in terms of human habitation with friendly environment, nature and temperature and sufficient oxygen for the human to evolve and expand.
Dr. Baldev has given his views time and again that it would only be possible for human life to develop on Mars after about a billion years, since this period is a must to switch over proper change of atmosphere, water sources and other natural development necessary for growth of human life.
While discussing whether life exists elsewhere in the Universe, Professor David Catling at Bristol University, along with colleagues at the University of Washington and NASA reveals in his research work that significant oxygen in the atmosphere and oceans of a distant planet are necessary for the complex organisms to evolve in any planet.
He further stated that it took about 4 billion years to develop Earth, In other words, other planets might have taken a lot of time to evolve the complex life.
He argued that since our Sun still has another 4 billion years before it completes its life; there is still a scope of friendly atmosphere to develop which should be rich in oxygen, the most feasible source of energy for complex life to exist anywhere in the Universe.
To evolve life on any planet, it is necessary to have sufficient oxygen in the air and oceans or seas are absolutely essential for an evolution of multicellular organisms.
Dr. Raj Baldev said, " The comments of Professor Catling are importat since he is an important member of the science team for NASA's Phoenix Lander, which is to put a long armed lander on Mars in 2007.
