Mars life?

Question

If there is life on mars (an icy desert) wouldnt that mean that life could be literly anywhere even in the solar system andif given the right conditions life can evolve into complex ,and since its belived that we came from cells can we evolve the mars life (if we find it) in the lab and as long as possible and see what happens

Answer 1

It only stands to reason that life exists elsewhere and there's a good chance they or it might be intelligent and looking for us as much as we are looking for them. With that said however, recently Steven Hawking proposed that intelligent life in the universe is probably not much more advanced than we are because if they were the likelihood of us contacting each other would be very high given all the signals we've sent out, or that they're just way too far away for us to reach. When you consider that other beings could be thousands of light years away Dr. Hawking's statement makes perfect sense.

Answer 2

Uhh yes? In terms of statistics, intelligent life existing somewhere else in the universe is rather likely... Especially when considering the billions of solar systems and galaxies and billions of planets and stars in each one.

If Mars shows that at one point it had life, it would make the case even stronger... But still, it's rather likely that life most certainly exists somewhere else throughout the universe.

Answer 3

Possibly

Answer 4

there used to be an expedition, a robot sent to the mars to check it out. that was quite a long time ago and when they came back with some positive results, scientists all ov er the world debated on the likelihood of it since the technology at that time was still not as advanced and able to detect life. Water is found, no doubt but for us to live there, oxygen is gonna be a problem followed by our food. the atmosphere of mars is not so suitable for life and this slims down the chances of us evolving to live in mars or if theres lifeform on mars in the first place.

Answer 5

That sounds reasonable, but life will only exist in an ecosystem. There needs to be multiple types of organisms using different elements on the planet while recycling others. Like on Earth we have plants that breathe Carbon Dioxide and exhale Oxygen. We inhale the Oxygen and breathe out CO2. So we would have to determine what ecosystem they had.

We need to search for fossils on Mars. That is the only way for us to find out what if anything lived on the planet.

Answer 6

Life will be very short if there is no plants to take care of the CO2.
