Life on Mars

Ever since the origin of Earth was found, this question has wandered in the air. What will happen when Earth becomes uninhabitable? Scientists have turned to the next closest planet to Earth, Mars. There have been signs in the past of life on Mars. Many think that space exploration could be a reality. On the other hand, many think that the thought itself is unreasonable. Despite the sheet of ice found on Mars (Source D) and the possibility of extremophiles surviving in harsh conditions, the possibility of life on Mars is, indeed, a fantasy. The environment on Mars is too harsh to live in, there have been no signs of life on

In the two essays being discussed we learn that science has a vast range of definitions. Science is the effort to understand (or to understand better), the history of the natural world and how the natural world works with observable physical evidence as the base of understanding. Science is about how the hypothesis is developed and how well it is defended.

In the poem, “Sci-Fi”, by Tracy Smith, the author writes with two tones: an overlying sense of wonder, and with a subtle twist at the end, dread. The author uses imagery to develop a clean world, setting a bright tone. Using “Clean lines pointing only forward”, the author creates an almost sterile image, full of bright light. The author also uses “For kicks, we’ll dance for ourselves before mirrors studded with golden bulbs” which provides a softer, sweeter image of wonderment and joy. However, there is an undertone that winds through the wonder, hinting at a darker side of safety. The author’s use of the line “Sex, having outlived every threat, will gratify only the mind, which is where it will exist” insinuates that human pleasures are no

Science thrives on seeking to provide a framework of understanding for the natural and physical world of matter. This endeavor involves taking an ever curious approach towards the observable world and constantly seeks to unravel more of the scientific knowledge of this world. The field is often concerned about mechanisms and processes that drive the natural phenomena we observe. Scientific methods often involve the formation of hypothesis from observation of matter, development of experiments to tests hypotheses, formation of theories and models from conclusions of experiments, and further refinement of theories to fit other data or new observations. Science often seeks to generate laws underlying the occurrences in nature, be it the laws of thermodynamics or the Newtonian laws of motion. Symbols, notations and mathematical equations are often used to provide this scientific lens of understanding this world. Knowledge gained from scientific endeavor is used to benefit humanity, in the curing of diseases and technological machinery.

Science has changed the world around us. Whether the discovery was for the benefit of medicine or agricultural each scientist has made some kind of impact on scientific research. These discoveries and answers can make either a small or large impact but most importantly, it evolves the study science in some way. Scientists devote their lives to their research and studies to discover the unknown mysteries of the world. The famous duo scientists Francis Crick and James Watson who both discovered the double stranded helix some centuries ago discovered the greatest impact on science in the biology and field.

What is science? A question everybody knows but only few choose to answer. A question that never goes out of style, a question that can trigger someone to jump off of the window for being the most “cliché” question that a teacher can ask. Name all those thoughts, but if we look on the other side of it, science had contributed a lot of things in the world and in our lives.

I think that science gives us a more of a reason to wonder and to be even more curious. For example, Jonah was super curious about what important Americas were doing when the first atomic bomb was dropped in Japan. Jonah realized later that what he was actually wanting to know was what was the father of the atomic bomb and his family doing that day. Once he knew what the whole family was doing on that day he wanted to know more about them not really much about the bomb anymore. Then he ended up on a huge journey that led to the end of the world and him being the dictator of this island. That’s really what happens in real life with things that we look for. When we go out looking for answers we usually find an answer to something completely different to our original question. If science were the destruction of wonder once we found the answer to our question we wouldn’t really know what to do with this information we would just have useless information. “Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.” Those people that don’t get anything out of the information they have received tend to become irritated. Many people don’t really know what to do with the information because they don’t want to believe it’s true, and sometimes that’s why people don’t want to learn anything that they aren’t comfortable with.

The main purpose of this mission will seek evidence of organic compounds of biological and non-biological origin at the martian surface. It is important to conduct this mission because Mars is Earth's neighboring planet and it may have substances within it's surface that may be beneficial to the Earth's well-being. Even though there has been several missions to Mars and some still presently active, there was none dedicated to finding fossils/ evidence of ancient life on the planet. To conduct this mission a lander and a rover will be used to retrieve samples from the planet's surface, to conclude whether or not there has been life on Mars.

Science is developed in many ways. Not only now, but hundreds of years back. Rosalind Franklin, Watson and Crick, and others might ring a bell. These are just a few scientists who made science develop in more ways than one and helped scientists of today continue the development of science.

For over 60 years now, humans have been trying anything possible to get information on our neighboring planet. Known as the “Red Planet”, Mars is the closest planet to us in our Solar System that has the chance of having human life on it. Though the chances of life on Mars are slim to none, many space organizations, including NASA, are still exploring the planet for any signs of life. Questions that many of the NASA crews ask themselves are : Is there water on Mars? What is the radiation on Mars like? And will it effect the exploration of Mars? How can we get humans to Mars safely? These questions are being asked by space agencies all around the world, however, the question that is getting more attention is : Will there ever

Science has and always will play a constant important role in my daily life, maybe more so than others. Science for me has not always been my strong subject in school and I very easily tend to get intimidated. But when I look at my daily life and realize how much science plays a role in it, I cannot help but smile. Science is not at all bad, it has allowed me to do many things every day, even if I do not take the time to stop and think about it, it is there. From the way the microwave heats up the water for my coffee every morning or the way my body digests the food I eat every meal and makes

A third prominent mode of practice that has arisen through the renewed interrelation between the sciences and poetry is what I describe as unconscious resistance. That is poetry that arguably is written in either a conciliant manner that is working within the concept of epistemological understanding and equality between the fields, or in a manner of co-option. Unconscious resistance appears on the thematic surface to align with and wish to conform to consilience, or co-option, but consistently illustrate an inability to do so. As Walpert advises this resistance “to the notion that science provides the fullest understanding of the world” is related to the particular foundational aesthetics of the forms of poetry. As such, the resistance to science, whilst also using it and its language-games becomes a “means of elevating…poetry itself as knowledge.” Or alternatively, to assume a conscious level of co-option whilst through its language and structural make up is working against this surface thematic mode of thought. It is the Avant Garde, contemporary poets that perhaps best illustrates this unconscious resistance. In response to the binarism of separate spheres, and epistemic claims within the sciences which is seen through these poet’s tendency to focus intensely on the “materiality of language.” This intense focus on language opens up internalised discord within the poetry, which whilst using a scientific linguistic system, also

As people, we come with earlier knowledge and understandings on subjects and topics of study, “Science” being one of them. We make presumptions, based on either reasonable evidence or that our thoughts and ideas are known as true by others. Through this we have come to understand and define science as its aims, leaving its definition, whether consciously or unconsciously, unchallenged. We have taken advantage of the label that we have set for science, as well as its goals, and failed to look at them further.

To sum up, science is the work of art and art is always related to beauty. Therefore, science is beautiful but not for physical reasons. Instead, science shows intellectual beauty that reflects our mind and who we are. Science is the study of facts and facts are absolutely changeless. By appreciating the intellectual beauty of science, it can help us to escape from the boundary of emotion and gain access to true knowledge. Hopefully, the passion to pursuit science can collaborate with the beauty of science and established more and more milestone for science in the future.

Science is an important part of our every day lives. We wake up each morning because we hear the ringing of our alarm clocks and turn on our faucets to wash our faces with warm water. We turn on the lights in our rooms to see our clothes and get dressed and we put our breakfast in the toaster and sip coffee from our mugs. All these things we do in the short time we are rushing to get ready for work or school, are due to the advancement of science and technology.
