The search for aliens should start on Earth not outer space, says scientist
Ok well the tenious link to all things motoring and travel related, I have kinda stretched a little, creative licence and all that, but this story of looking to earth for signs of E.T life stood out to me today in being one of the whacky variety! those crazy scientists... well dont know what the readers here think but leave a comment if you have ideas or thoughts on this subject.
Why I think its whacky is that I didnt think this was a new approach, thought for many years we had been searching the Polar Caps and sites of asteroid impacts for information.

Quote from the article:
| Professor Paul Davies, a physicist at Arizona University will tell a meeting at the Royal Society that the best way of proving that extra-terrestrial life exists elsewhere in the universe is to use evidence from earth. However, Professor Colin Pillinger, who led the Beagle 2 Mars landing mission remains sceptical. He said: "I prefer to deal in scientific fact - this is wildly science fiction. You'd be off your trolley to go searching for arsenic-based life." |
