Nice.

Awesome.

"A one-pound boat made of this substance would be able to carry up to 1,000 pounds of cargo" That's a nice ratio!

Quite awsome. Though it's not the only super-material in town. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphene

Also, here's interesting list of technologies that may define our future: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ng_technologies

SOUNDS LEGIT.

Iran knew you'd say that.

Rather cool!

What is the name of the theory that meteorites carried the building blocks of life to Earth? I think it starts with the letter p.

Panspermia.

Thanks HaL.

I wonder if Earth will one day eject Meteorites into Space and cause life somewhere else. Could Mars become habital again?

How would earth eject Meteorites?

In 5 billion years when the Sun destroys most of the Solar System?

Although it's difficult to imagine anything surviving that...... and to be pedantic, they wouldn't be meteorites, that's a specific term for a meteoroid entering our atmosphere.

It's interesting to think, though- when astronauts have to jettison their waste, where might it go? Possibly back to Earth or the nearest gravity source (obviously), but what if it slipped through the cracks so to speak and landed somewhere far, far away and capable of sustaining bacterial life? We could have shit-seeded another planet already, for all we know!

And we could have evolved from the shit seeds of aliens!

The true consciousness of life as we know it could be an exceedingly basic and infinitely incomprehensible sentience composed of amino acids that has in fact leapfrogged from world to fertile world since time immemorial! FREE WILL IS AN ILLUSION. WE CAN BREATHE IN SPACE, THEY JUST DON'T WANT US TO LEAVE. AIEEEEEE.

Meteorites was the wrong choice of wording but I forgot about Earths gravity being so strong anyhow.

Gravity is pathetic. PATHETIC.

The smallest dry-reed switch:

Don't mind Matt, he's still bitter over his, ah, trip through Charles De Gaulle Airport.

I see no prob.

Didn't know any of this til today:

Three popular variations of the panspermia hypothesis are:
�Lithopanspermia (interstellar panspermia) - impact-expelled rocks from a planet's surface serve as transfer vehicles for spreading biological material from one solar system to another.
�Ballistic panspermia (interplanetary panspermia) - impact-expelled rocks from a planet's surface serve as transfer vehicles for spreading biological material from one planet to another within the same solar system
�Directed panspermia - the intentional spreading of the seeds of life to other planets by an advanced extraterrestrial civilization, or the intentional spreading of the seeds of life from Earth to other planets by humans

Panspermia does not provide an explanation for evolution or attempt pinpoint the origin of life in the Universe, but it does attempt to solve the mysteries of the origin of life on Earth and the transfer of life throughout the Universe.

The world's smallest movie.
