Doubt this is true, it'd be EVERYWHERE

Maybe, but I don't know that mainstream media gives a shit about stuff like this. I found several articles from all over but not from anything too major.

Remider, that if we find live on Ceres or Europa, humanity is doomed.

To be honest astronomy news like this, can't compete with trump tweets.

There's people that doesn't knows that we found proof of bacterial life in mars already.

>the great filter

..nigger you what?

Organic compound - compound that contains carbon.

So this isn't really amazing, that shit is all over the place.

Theory that the reason we aren't living In a star wars style galaxy with all sorts of civilisations popping in to trade is because intelligent races destroy themselves before becoming interstellar

No, it's true, it's just not news.

They find organic compounds on asteroids all the time, it doesn't mean life. Just the building blocks of it. Really small simple chains of acids and stuff like that. The problem is (and this has still yet to be done even in lab conditions) getting the structures to behave as life, reproduce, replicate etc. We know it's possible, they do it in living organisms, we just don't know how to start the process from scratch yet.

So again organic compounds =/= life
We know about organic compounds on asteroids and comets already, that's why this isn't being covered.

But it's not just carbon, which is everywhere. It's evidence of life, in the form of a compound that contains carbon.

"Organic" as in "containing carbon?"

or a third option, any civilization capable of traveling the stars has evolved far more sophisticated moral systems which leads them to show deep respect for the unintentional consequences of wide-spread attention.

I personally believe it's all part of a big "game", a big "play". One that is ancient, older than our star, passed from generation to generation, as a way to help sentient creatures overcome the most difficult phase of our evolution. Right now.

It's an ancient play, the aliens are just more sophisticated and know how powerful memetics are. We've fixated on certain ones for a reason. Because they mean something. Even if we can never fully understand what it means, we can sense it, and we keep learning new things about it. IT's the redpill, the change of perspective, the alignment towards the truth.

And the truth is, any species that can travel the stars requires a certain level of cooperation and moral sophistication that we haven't yet reached. Yes, we may be like the ants to their massive space highway, but that itself is a very "ant" perspective, isn't it? Do we really think masters of the stars would share our ignorance and lack of empathy? As if these are permanent states? That you can't improve on empathy? Seems the west disagrees...

No, organic compounds can form without 'life' there are lots of them.

And the other 'building blocks' of life they cite are also quite abundant in the galaxy.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abundance_of_the_chemical_elements#Abundance_of_elements_in_the_Universe

But it's not like what they've found on asteroids. This is evidence of a once habitable environment.

REMEMBER THE CANT

Cereals?

>The Great Filter

One of most likely those 9 things is VERY unlikly to happen (the Great Filter), otherwise the universe would be full of alien colonies. If we ever find live in our solar system, depending on the stage it's at, we can rule out the previous steps. I.e. if we find multi-cell organisms, only 7, 8 and 9 can be the Great Filter.

1. The right star system (including organics and potentially habitable planets)
2. Reproductive molecules (e.g., RNA)
3. Simple (prokaryotic) single-cell life
4. Complex (eukaryotic) single-cell life
5. Sexual reproduction
6. Multi-cell life
7. Tool-using animals with big brains
8. Where we are now
9. Colonization explosion.

There are other possibilities. Maybe there are aliens, but they hide? etc.

Yeah, and there's empty riverbeds on Mars, what about it? If it's all dead it doesn't matter.

GAS THE BELT
SPACE WAR NOW

The point is, it's evidence that at some point there was a habitable environment on Ceres.

I don't think the article was saying that, but if it was, that's wild conjecture given the evidence they've seen so far (the spectra signature).

Could be contaminant from a comet impact for example.

No it isn't.

No, just evidence there 'might' have been.

basically anything that is a hydrocarbon is considered an organic compound. So basically if you are an astronaut and farted on a planet, then you can claim that organic compounds are found on that place.

Bullshit. This is just cannibals who worship Saturn bsing again about the nature of that place and its moons.

No... it's not. It doesn't imply anything of the sort.

>Fermi paradox
What is this, 1993?

>2017
>not realizing that our universe is a simulation being run by a Matrioshka brain

It's the basic building blocks of life.

It's found everywhere, including Mars and asteroids.

According to the first article I posted, planetary scientists from NASA say that it is evidence of a once habitable environment

Another nail in the coffin for the idea that earth's oil is 100% dead life. Abiogenic oil. Produced in mantle.

Chemist here, not far fetched at all, that the conditions in the mantle would produce hydrocarbons. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer–Tropsch_process

>The Dawn probe has previously detected salts, ammonia-rich clays and water ice on Ceres, which together indicate hydrothermal activity, says study coauthor Carol Raymond, a planetary scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

>For life to begin, you need elements like carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen, as well as a source of energy. >Both the hydrothermal activity and the presence of organics point toward Ceres having once had a habitable environment, Raymond says.

>"If you have an abundance of those elements and you have an energy source,” she says, “then you’ve created sort of the soup from which life could have formed.” But study coauthor Lucy McFadden, a planetary scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., stresses that the team has not actually found any signs of life on Ceres.

DIE INNER SCUM

I think he means Life would be everywhere.
But if life is on Ceres, and we found bacteria on rocks that came from Mars, then Life kinda already is everywhere.

U BE SAYIN WE IZ ADVANCED ALIUM N SHIET?

No, the writer of the article says that, not one of the actual quotes. The writer could have easily misconstrued what the scientist meant, as happens extremely often in scientific journalism.

Nope, we're just computer programs.

MY ANCESTORS WERE 14/88THS PURE DEBT CONSOLIDATION EMAILBOT!

See

We need to build a Sup Forums outpost on Ceres where no lefties are allowed

I saw, note how it's not surrounded by quotation marks so is likely paraphrasing. Or a fuck up by the author.

is this the best way to explain glitches, deja vu, etc? is there a list of confirmed real life glitches, excluding any Mandela effect theories?

lol

It would be neat if Ceres were a chunk of Earth, maybe spun off from the same impact that made the moon (granting Impact Hypothesis - how's that doing these days?).

So what? They found some methane or something? The universe is fucking full of it.

It's possible there's a late stage like "everybody gets integrated into an AI" or "everybody fucks off into the fifth dimension to escape the entropy closure of the universe" or "everybody builds a giant brass robot and an asshole dwarf accidentally taps its heart with a hammer the wrong way and vaporizes the entire species"

Essentially. The abstract mentioned aliphatic compounds, while the article in OP suggests kerite or asphaltite for some reason, though that may just be a shitty example.

Well he probably was paraphrasing but the point is the same.

Or maybe the more evolved lifeforms figured out a way to exit the room, the room being our perceptible universe. This might just be a damn big sandbox.

Is it beyond reason to think that we might just be unlucky in out part of the galaxy? Certainly there are back woods areas on a galactic scale.

This is what is going on.
It explains quantum physics problems.

>Ayy lmao posting has memed space aliens into planting weed on Ceres.

It took like a billion years for each of these steps to occur. It's probably just one of these

White man come home

10. we take the bogpill

P R O T O M O L E C U L E

Far more likely: Nobody's spending gigajoules to beam messages at us and our instruments aren't sensitive enough to see anything else, unless some aliens are using pulsar-level energy to communicate with each other, in which case we think they're pulsars.

It's also possible that simple life is common but complex life is very rare.

Consider that 7/8ths of the time life existed on Earth it was simple micro-organisms and it was only during the Cambrian explosion that complexity started to grow rapidly and we don't know how, why, or how common events like that should be.

OR, or... FTL is impossible.
We´re gonna die here.

the great filter is one answer. Black Hole Transcendence is just as likely.

According to who? Albert Jewstein?

Fucking belter scum. who here /mars/?

Organic compounds are compounds that contain carbon, they do not necessarily indicate life.
However, we think that life requires carbon and the presence of it there makes it more likely that there is life there.

No, that's your mind. The brain is wonky as shit, yo. If this universe is a simulation, which isn't unlikely, all those bugs this scale have been long, LONG worked out. What's left is shit like black holes.

so where are the pyramids and sheeeeeet

Protectionist Ceres must allow in foreign imported organic compounds

2deep4me

Bro, organic compounds come from comets. They are the building blocks of life, but they are not evidence of it.

MARS FOR THE MARTIANS

If you are an abbos during thirty years war, you probaby thinkbthat the world is empty.

FAKE!!!1

WE CAN'T LEAVE THIS FLAT EARTH!

What if the L-shaped proteins just naturally combine that way chemically, like the way oxygen and hydrogen bind to make water? Maybe that tendency is inherent in the structure of the universe, not some extreme abnormality.
