OMG! According to this DNA test, humans are our ancient cousins.. |
Back in the days when MTV
was more popular than Youtube, Moby was singing “We are Made of
Stars”. And although I was not completely unaware of the meaning at that time, I
found it interesting that mainstream science ideas was catching up with mainstream
music of that time. This just came in a flashback because today I just read
something that reminds me of the phrase, “We are all Aliens”. I first heard it back
during the buzz about Martian asteroids fallen to Earth with traces of what
seemed like primitive carbon life forms, which, if I recollect correctly, was later
recanted by NASA. (what seemed like biggest conspiracy cover up. Haha) This
would have supported theories that life on Earth did not originate from Earth,
but elsewhere in the Universe.
Panspermia is a hypothesis that
life on Earth has been seeded by falling bodies from outer space (meteors, asteroids,
comets et al). Although it has fascinated public imagination over the years now
it has not gained popular support for the scientific community. It owes its unpopularity
maybe due to lack of evidence or maybe due to racism over its proponent- Chandra
Wickramasinghe. Nope just kiddin’. Haha
Not only that these would
prove Panspermia, it would add proof that we are not alone the universe, and
not that there are probably aliens out there but we may share the same cosmic ancestry
(see wiki).
So, we are all aliens! Now, let’s
wait for someone to make a song about that too.
