(ah, relief from the Zimmerman trial. Thank you so very much)
They say there is much more life underground than there is above the ground. I would bet the ratio is much more extreme than we imagine.
Send the probe to Europa then!
Here’s an interesting thought.
These organisms have been living and reproducing for 15 million years. Have any of them ‘evolved’?
There are 3507 different organisms now. How many were there 15 million years ago ?
This is the reason why ice core data for CO2 concentrations from hundreds to thousands of years ago are totally un reliable.
There are a multitude of microbes in ice formations which either consume or produce C02 gas and totally bias the residual C02 content in the ice cores one way or another.
“A seedpod. Yes. The neat and unconfused reproductive technique of vegetation. No pain or pleasure as we know it. No emotions...no heart. Our superior. Our superior in every way. Gentlemen, do you realize what we’ve found? A being from another world as different from us as one pole from the other. If we can only communicate with it...we can learn secrets that have been hidden from mankind since the beginning...”
I care about bacteria in a sub ice pack lake in Antarctica?
Article says that majority of what was found (3507) were new unknown bacterias. So using that critera...... That would mean at least 1754 new bacteria times 1/3 = 584 potential new pathogens. Of course some may be as mild as a cold, but who is to say that one of them is has the ability to spread like a cold, and is as deadly as Bubonic.
I say they autoclave this research, and let Lake Vostok be.
