  1. T&! on Mars? by AtariDatacenter · · Score: 2 · on Interesting Structures On Mars

    At that site, I saw this interesting slide called T&!, which obviously connected with me as a censored version of "T&A". What an interesting surprise it was. And I was looking forward to even more Martian pr0n.

  2. So this is where the dolphins went! by antek9 · · Score: 1 · on Interesting Structures On Mars


    ... or came from?

    Don't remember the gospel, I definitely have to re-read the trilogy, dang!

  3. Just a TAD kooky... by Daniel+Rutter · · Score: 5 · on Interesting Structures On Mars
    Metaresearch.org, eh?

    Mouthpiece for: Tom Van Flandern, big-time Cydonia-face, um, "enthusiast".

    Have yourself a browse through metaresearch.org and you'll find out all sorts of interesting things. Like, apparently the speed of gravity is "not less than 2 x 10^10 c", and therefore probably infinite.

    Feel free to read some stuff on Jerry Pournelle's site about this guy.

    Here's another URL that directly addresses the gravity-speed thing Tom Van Flandern loves so dearly.

    If he were a bit more dedicated, he'd qualify as a real, quality, Usenet kook. I don't think he quite makes the grade, though.

  4. Tubes or sand dunes? by shon · · Score: 1 · on Interesting Structures On Mars
    Check out this picture. It shows how the so-called tubes start as what looks like sand dunes and are transformed into the tubes when the sand is blown into thin strips. What is really fascinating to me is the face animation. Since the MGS took the photo of the face at such a low angle, this animation seems to show what the face would look like if it were shot overhead. If the math/physics are correct, then this view is quite extraordinary and seems to clearly show artificiality.

  6. Ehh, pardon ? by AftanGustur · · Score: 2 · on Interesting Structures On Mars

    one of you techheads should program a random terrain generator linked to a webpage and have a voting system to see if a person sees anything in that picture.

    Sorry, but terrain is not formed by "random forces". Craters f.ex have a special known form, depending on what formed them, they can look like a bowl (wolcanic) or various impact craters (asteroids). But none of them would actually be with almost vertical walls and a flat floor as this one looks like.

    Same goes for riverbeds and only rarely does landscape actually form something that resembles a triangle.

    The way we should interpret those images is just "wow, neat, but like most reports it doesn't prove anything"

  8. Perhaps 65 Million years old? by The+Dev · · Score: 2 · on The Puzzle of Martian Meteorites

    This sounds like additional support for Dr. Tom Van Flandern's Exploded Planet Hypothesis.
