Well.....there you have it.

Maybe L. Ron was right. Just the wrong planet.

Seriously though; Professor Dipsh!t while writing his story: “WOW MA-AN! Don`t bogart that pipe, man! It`s supposed to be like, puff, puff, pass, ok man?”

Just speculation but maybe close, I would say that Titan would have a better chance of having life before earth than any where else.

The Martian surface is covered with a thin layer of radioactive substances including uranium, thorium and radioactive potassium

So is the Moon, particularly the Ocean of Storms generally, and southeast of Copernicus, specifically.

But the patina is over the entire surface of the Moon, and is evidence of 4.57 billion years of cosmic ray bombardment, and probably whatever highly massive primordial progenitor it was that hollowed out the Imbrium impact.

Mars atmosphere for most of its long history - and I don't think they've yet divided up that history into ages, as they have the Moon, since the principle of "superpositioning" is much more difficult to apply on a planet with as thin an atmosphere as the Martian - along with that planet's nearly non-existent planetary magnetic field - make a poor shield against a wide spectrum of cosmic rays.

Nevertheless, it might help to explain why Mars two asteroid moons share its red stain, though that could be explained as easily by pyroclastic volcanism, from the largest volcanoes yet discovered in our star system.

I'm always open to outlandish claims, but this is pretty off the scale. I will presume to credit the Dr. with not actually knowing what this civilization called itself. He's using the Cydonian name as one would is describing the Mayan, I hope.

It's a safe bet his paper at this conference isn't behind a pay wall.

it makes as much sense as current global warming theory

Hey, i thought of this first.
No fair!!

Interesting that the Ancient Martians named their civilizations with Greek words.

Kind of like the Planet Krypton.

"Back in 2011 the scientist first postulated that the red colour on Mars could have been due to a naturally occurring thermonuclear explosion. 'The Martian surface is covered with a thin layer of radioactive substances including uranium, thorium and radioactive potassium - and this pattern radiates from a hot spot on Mars,' he told Fox News at the time."

I'd expect over time that Mars red color would be covered with the same star dust that blankets Earth's moon and would be more of a lunar color. Perhaps he is suggesting the red dusting is a continuing process.

Martians were killed by earth dinosaurs who fired nuclear weapons at mars.

I’m curious about his thoughts on Man Made Global Warming. Has he ever advised ALGORE and has he ever written a Comic Book?

TT

[OKSooner]

Well, of course. It’s all chronicled in Battle in Outer Space, a Toho production in Tohoscope. C. 1960 IIRC.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I tried to tell everyone this 30,000 years ago. But nobody would listen.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Bet he believes in global warming, too.
