10 cool facts about space

[Clockwork13]

What a load of rubbish.

Thank you.

I personally don't know why you felt like posting that would be so important. No offence.

But if you are that negative about it, at least give a reason why.

Here's a starter:

Carbon planet

Don't rely on the wiki. Keep in mind that the Wikipedia has a lot of fake content due to the fact that anyone can edit it.

They did, but bacteria can survive on just about any solid body in the solar system.

Which means that point is valid. Intelligent life, though, is a different story.

The fact that anyone can edit is what makes it accurate. You can say complete lies, but it get's fixed within minutes.

You still haven't provided a source for your claims though.

No, it isn't valid. You can't be 100% sure of anything. As I'm typing now, I don't even know whether you are still alive. It's just extremely probable.

Didn't they find living bacteria on Mars, or did I just mishear the news story a few years back?

They found evidence that there might have been long ago, but it hasn't been proven.

I personally don't know why you felt like posting those silly claims would be so important. Why didn't you provide some references.

But if you are that negative about it, at least give a reason why.

You are the one making the silly claims from stuff you seem to have misread on the internet. It's up to you to provide evidence. For example: documented instances where NASA has lied or what you mean by "like Earth".

I had to look up the Black Knight thing, as it was the first time I ever heard of that hoax. The few references that I did find were just stupid conjecture and a mish-mash of perfectly explainable anecdotes that have no link between them.

That is true for controversial subjects, but most scientific stuff is quite accurate. Remember that if someone makes mistakes or uploads fake content, they are usually corrected. If they do it too often, they get banned.

Did you check the sources for that page? They seem credible enough to me.

2-10 all wrong. 8 imho violates forum's anti-conspiracy rule and the rest total hogwash found only in the most scientifically illiterate conspiracies.

9. The star VY Canor Majoris is a billion times bigger than the sun.

It's actually 12 billlion times the volume of the sun. But I used Wikipedia as a source (they are probably lying) and an open source calculator (everyone can change the code!). And can you belive it? They also insist that it's called VY Canis Majoris! Fools!

I think it's time to let this thread die...
