Starship Asterisk*

No wind in space? There is solar wind of course - and there could also be dark matter wind, if dark matter exists; and I prefer to think of dark matter's possible flow as riverlike, or currents in an ocean - flowing water also builds 'drifts' similar to sand dunes - so Astrolabe's mention of dust de...

John D - I'm spending time on you because your thought processes need expansion - for instance, you have to eliminate the boundaries which prohibit you from realizing that matter (which is theorized to be merely dense energy, right?) has effect on all other matter in the immediate, galactic or unive...

That big volcano on Mars must have expelled a lot of dust to very high altitudes. Phobos is volcanized? John D - no atmosphere, true; but an object moving through clouds of dust suspended in space would be its own 'wind', and (let's factor in the theory of dark matter here as an interesting poetenti...

'The heavens and the earth flee from the throne of God'. Sorry - I cannot provide chapter and verse. Genesis tells what's beyond the stars though -water - Ch. 1 verses 6 to 17- a careful read will reveal water above the sun, moor and stars, and water below the sun, moon and stars. Also - could the u...

John - Pride in ignorance? Perhaps. But pride in knowledge which is false can be worse. At least if someone knows they are ignorant they may be persuaded to become more open minded .. but if they think they know what they know not their professional status may prohibit them from reconsidering. You m...

Genuine thanks for your informative reply, John .. and I admit a vacuum in my head which comes from lack of higher education - I'm a high school graduate only .. and that was a four year commercial program - but I scored Mensa in a Grade 11 I.Q., and my lack of higher education 'programming' allows ...

The references provided discuss organic material on Phobos. I'm wildly open-minded enough about mankind's infinitesimal knowledge of lifeforms to believe possible (only a theory of course) that the 'rock' in the groove is a silicon creature and the organic material is its excrement .. possibly the c...

The mars moon photo http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html shows "unexplained" streaks which look like grooves. In a streak near the bottom left of the photo appears what looks like a round rock. Could this rock be travelling by rolling .. pushed by small centrifugul forces as the ...
