Somewhere in the Ben 10 universe: a Celestialsapien did it...
I am the only one getting annoyed at this logic and is it still funny??
Also, does this mean that is more canon that I rewrite the show to make my Ben x Edwin ship 🤔?

Ben 10 Omniverse isn't a terrible show, but it often misses its mark for the sake of comedy. And it's not even good comedy either; it's the same old "Lol. Ben's so lazy, ignorant, and irresponsible. It's a wonder how he keeps the Omnitrix at all! LMFAO" And it's like, okay, we get it. Everyone thinks Ben is a moron, but if Ben's a moron, what does that make the people who lose to him? 🤨
One of the times Omniverse misses the mark on what could have been a legendary episode akin to Adventures Time's "The Hall of Egress." It is the episode Universe v. Tennyson.
The episode about Ben going to trial for recreating the universe. Besides seeing Alien X fight, the episode doesn't make any sense. And I entirely blame writers. They did not think of the logistics of how a trial of this sort of magnitude would actually go. I wouldn't be surprised if the trial was just an excuse to see the celestialsapiens in action.
They wanted a reason to explain the different art styles and all the retcons. Which in itself is stupid. As the audience, we know why specific changes are made. They didn't need to hand-feed us retconning; it always happens.
But more to the point, the entire trial is a sham. And it pissed me off to no end!
1. Ben was never subpoenaed. Alien or not, you can't part the sky like the Red Sea and drag someone to court. You have to set an official date and time for trial, allow the defense to acquire a lawyer, and build their defense. This is basic shit, and if your excuse is that it's just a kids cartoon, that doesn't excuse bad writing.
I just can't stand when people brush over essential details.
2. Only in certain circumstances can you forcefully take a person to court. And that is if the suspected criminal is considered a danger to the public or a flight risk. And even then, it's an immediate arrest before going to court for a hearing. Ambush arrests are considered a last resort; considering Ben's positions as a plumber and wielder of the Omnitrix, Ben has little to no criminal record.
3. Due process, refering back to my earlier point, the celestial sapiens would have needed to give notice of charges, and Ben would need to be heard in front of an impartial tribunal. The entire universe is not an impartial jury. There's a reason any Rando can't walk into a courtroom and decide whether a person is guilty. What if several people aren't even aware of the trial? That could skewer the vote in favor of the Plaintiff (Celestialsapiens)
If the writers on Omniverse weren't so focused on having a hate boner for the main character, this could have been a great episode. And it is a hate boner because why else would they pick Mr. Baumann as the first witness. This dude had beef with Ben since early childhood before having the Omnitrix. His opinion is beyond biased.
Also, Rook took the first chance to air his petty grievances with Ben in front of the entire universe in a court of law, and that is beyond shitty. Ben being "ignorant of many things" isn't a proven fact; it's a personal opinion. Also, being ignorant is a crime?
And had Ben been sentenced to death or died in the trial by combat, what was the plan afterward? Rook carries Ben's body to his mother and says,
"Sorry, Ms. Tennyson, your minor child didn't have the mental knowledge and fortitude of a 50-year-old veteran; his death was totally justified. "
If Ben is ignorant of many things, it is because he is young and has only just started exploring the universe. Many toddlers should be behind bars if simply being uninformed is a crime. It's like the show constantly forgets that Ben is still young but insists on punishing him for it.
The court case is to decide whether Ben recreated the universe; his lack of knowledge and irresponsibility are not up for debate. Besides, Rook has only known Ben for a few months; I doubt that makes him a sound judge of character.
I wish they had brought different people to the witness stand. They could have made excellent callbacks by bringing characters like
Tetrax- He is literally the guardian of Omnitrix and decided that even at age 10, the Omnitrix was safe in Ben's hands. Also, the fact that Ben restores the planet Petropia can be used to defend Ben's recreation of the universe. 
Reinrassig III- I'm sure the word of Highbreed Supreme would hold more weight in court than Mr. Bauman. A small store owner on a tiny planet in the far corner of the galaxy. 
Queen Cicely of the Lewodan( ep. Con of Rath) - The mother of the Tiffin, you know, the baby Ben jumped down a man's throat to save. Ben broke the law by doing that but still prevented a massive war. 
Magister Hulka- (ep. Basic Training) Hulka is a well-decorated Plumber and was Ben's academy instructor. Ben passed with flying colors despite disobeying orders, saving Hulka's life. He even gave Ben his medal for creativity and effective tactics. His word holds more weight than Rook Blonko's, a literally rookie in the plumber association.
Azmuth- do I even need to say anything?
Maxx and Xylene are more than familiar with the Omnitrix and Ben himself. 
Paradox is literally the number one expert on the subject.
Could you imagine the cross-examination with these characters? 
And even without proper character witnesses, Ben could argue that what is illegal is not always morally right.
What is the actual crime, the crime of caring too much? And if his crime is recreating the universe without prior permission. The celestialspaiens were a hidden society; how would he have gotten permission?  
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
If Ben was the only living thing left after the universe was destroyed, did he really break the law since no one was there to uphold it?
Especially since he created the universe up until the very moment it was destroyed, so no time would have passed at all.  
Ben's other option was leaving that universe for dead, and pulling a Rick and Morty, but he didn't do that cause he's not a sociopath. 
The only angle that makes sense for this trial to happen is if it wasn't to prosecute Ben, but to send a message. The message that Celestialsapiens are not to be trifled with and that any attempts will be met with extreme prejudice and even death by combat.
The Celestialsapiens have recreated the universe multiple times, with even more drastic changes than just a smoothie flavor. I mean, Grandpa Max can't even open his eyes, and Azmuth's voice has changed several times. They literally point that out in the episode, and yet this is the first time a trial has ever been broadcasted to the universe.
In fact, this is the first time any other aliens have seen a celestialsapien save for Alien X. And even he was deemed a myth. So why now? Why the grand fan fair? Why broadcast the trial at all? They never notified the universe before.
 It's because the celestial aliens were afraid for the first time since their conception. Their entire beings were briefly erased from existence and recreated, and they did not like it! Do you honestly believe that they changed anything about themselves after recreating the universe multiple times? Of course not!  
But Ben doing that sent the species into a mental spiral of worry and anguish with the fear of not being completely yourself. The same curse they've placed upon the universe prior without any hint of guilt.
The trial was about establishing dominance to keep Ben from recreating the universe regardless of his reasoning. But also to prevent other aliens from attempting the same thing. That's why the trial was broadcasted through the galaxy. This was just a bunch of dick-swinging, so the celestialsapiens don't have to face any sort of actual accountability.

THE BLACK UNIVERSE ❤️🖤💚
Blackness is the known universe. Over 95% of the known universe is either Black matter of Dark energy. The first human beings originated on the equator and were all Black. And yet blackness is treated with such disdain when it comes to the populations who have historically leeched off Black folk enslaving and debasing and destroying them for 1000's of years. Teach our children the fundamentals of science:
1. Black begins the universe and everything in it. Blackness is the source of life and living.
2. Matter and antimatter are first black dark matter, dark black energy, black holes, flowing down a majestic cosmic ladder from universes to superclusters, galaxy clusters, galaxies, star clusters, quasars, pulsars, stars, solar systems, planets, including Earth and other celestial bodies; to molecular complexes, crystals, molecules, atoms, elementary nuclear particles, photons, force fields, quantum levels, to the sub-quantum with spirit equaling pure energy transmitted through inorganic than organic life forms.
3. It is written that this part of the cosmos, which we know, this universe, galaxy, solar system, and the planet, is 21 billion years in the making. Twenty-one billion years from inorganic to organic to single cells to multiple cells to the tissue to organisms to invertebrates to vertebrates to reptiles to amphibians to mammals to primates to hominids to homo sapien sapiens to modern humans to human societies—communalism, hydraulic communalism, planned hydraulic monarchies, slavery, feudalism, capitalism, socialism; 21 billion years of this majestic forward flow of history, unfolding in Africa with the earliest civilizations emerging along the Nile.

Into, Across and Beyond! Scripting: Unlikely Rivalry
This is based on the "Unlikely Rivals" skit by Retrovisity.
DIMENSION TNL-2015: Quill Society Headquarters, Gust Planet Zone
Tumblr media
Turbo: What. In the world. IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
Bunnie: You heard me loud an' clear, sugar. Yer children's cartoon characters got nothin' on cowboys! Could lasso up any one of them aliens o' yours if they darn well pleased if they were real.
Turbo: No they couldn't! Don't you realise how astronomically insane the power scaling on that series is?! And you're telling me a spaghetti western can go against a Ben 10 that averages at SOLAR LEVEL?!
Bunnie: Dunno why yer talkin' 'bout pasta, sugar-Turbo, but that there solar level is rookie stuff. Most cowboys can-.
Turbo: "Ride into the sun on their beloved steed", yes. We already had that argument, Bunnie. That is just plain false.
Bunnie: Darn it, Turbo! I tell ya, it's true! I saw it with ma own eyes-!
Turbo: Through a movie!
Bunnie: Well, it's based on a real thing, even if the stories are made up! They wouldn't put 'dat in if it wasn't darn possible or it wouldn't BE western. Would be one of 'em sci-fi thingies o' yours.
Turbo: It-! You know what? Fine. For the sake of argument, let's say (eye-twitching) Clint Eastwood is FRICKIN' SOLAR LEVEL-!
Bunnie: Ya know, actually, I don't think Clint Eastwood has gone into the sun in any of the ones I've-.
Turbo: ANY cowboy! Okay, listen to me, Miss Rabbot, 'cause I'm losing my sanity here. There is... this alien. Alien X, okay? A celestial sapien, a race of beings that can control EVERYTHING with a single thought. You with me thus far?
Bunnie: Hmm, I guess so, sugar.
Tumblr media
Turbo: Okay! So, in the fourth episode of Ben 10: Omniverse, there's this device that destroys the universe, and guess what? Alien X not only survives it, but is able to recreate the universe with just one thought!
Bunnie: Oh, my!
Turbo: Yeah, so you do understand. The Sun is only a very small part of the universe. Heck, the human race doesn't even know HOW big the universe is, so that is a lot more than the Sun. So, that makes Alien X at the very least Universal Level!
Bunnie: Yeah, that sounds 'bout right.
Turbo: So! If we established (hrk) Clint Eastwood and all cowboys as Solar Level, then! And I can't believe I am stooping as low as this. CLINT EASTWOOD CANNOT BEAT ALIEN X!
Bunnie: ...
Turbo: Yeah, what do ya have to say about that, rabbit gal?
Tumblr media
Bunnie: You know, there is this one that galloped into the stars.
Turbo: (indescribable gibberish) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!
Meanwhile, in the adjacent café...
Tumblr media
Milly: Why... am I so... confused by what's going on outside? I don't even know who Clintswood X is. ... (confused) Alien Clex?

space eggs
An alien, I’m aimin’ in direction of some Jamesen - because I’m in a funk and drunk is just my style of flavorin’ I’m savorin’ each second since been wreckin’ on this planet as I reckon it’s a second chance to dance; I didn’t plan it:
I was jammin’ on the petal, metal heavy on my mind and so I landed on the richest place in space that I could find; but my surprise was quite complete to see the signs in time immersed: a new ET, how could it be that I was not the first?!
These aliens were sapiens who traveled shortly mainly in the solar system they were in - one planet toward the sun. they left their rusted planet red and moved their mines to Earth instead and found some creatures, to them said “You shall be the one!”
“Technology it follows me (or am I just its follower) I raise you up from apes and fool you greatly when I call you ‘sir’ Apollo? Sure, we’ll be your gods and splice your genes until you’re odd and let you serve (but clothed and shod) our every want or wish; we’ll give you brains and stand you straight so you can carry all our weight and since you share our genes we’ll mate ... our own ‘sub’ consciousness”
(It seems impossible, I know to those who see what genes can show but DNA can ebb and flow throughout a solar system; when one celestial body leaks its single cells they often sneak through atmosphere to planets near and so a neighbor gits ’em)
So life they found all run around the same ol’ sun begun around the proteins that were flung around: a base genetic code. This let the interlopers do a few shrewd tricks, they quickly grew an earthly ape right into you, to build their new abode!
But here’s the thing that makes it weird, the thing those beings should have feared (and lo, I came to them as peers and tried to say ‘beware’) They thought they gave you brains and such - a sapience, a mental crutch, but study shows before their touch you were already there.
Now that’s not fair, I plainly saw, I quoted interstellar law - I promised honest shock and awe - they laughed at every shout. So when my rescue finally came, we turned the tables in the game, I showed the fault and cast the blame - we kicked their asses out!
A being should be left to good or ill in it’s own way, and when a sapience is young, you have to let it play; when interfered with, it appears it’s wrong to try and guide development of what is meant to pilot ... not to ride.
So you can see it easily: your rise was all arranged - but you were rising anyway! That’s why you’re all so strange!

World Turtle Day 2022! 
It’s May 23, and that means it’s time to honor the celestial being that supports our world on its strong, broad carapace. Wait! That’s the World Turtle. Today is the day we celebrate everyone’s favorite leisurely reptilian: the turtle. The average turtle might not support the entirety of the planet on the back of its shell, but turtles and tortoises are still a vital part of the ecosystem, particularly in redistributing nitrogen and phosphorus. 
Our turtle image is a Hawksbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) from our facsimile of Mark Catesby’s The Natural History of Florida, Carolina, and the Bahama Islands, published by Savannah’s Beehive Press in 1974 in a limited edition of 500. Turtles have survived five mass extinction events on this planet, but that doesn’t make them immune to the challenges of coexisting with the pesky Homo sapiens. Due to coastal development, the decline in healthy coral reefs, hunting, and accidental trapping in fishing nets, Hawksbill turtles are critically endangered. Of the 360 known species of turtle and tortoise, more than half are threatened, and just over a third are endangered or critically endangered. World Turtle Day was established in 2000 with support from American Tortoise Rescue to celebrate turtles and tortoises, promote education, and encourage actions that help turtles thrive.    
You can find past World Turtle Day posts here. 
More general posts about and containing turtles are found here.

Has anything (possibly human) ever left the Milky Way?
Tumblr media
Yes, something we created has already left the Milky Way; it may even have reached the Andromeda Galaxy, 2.5 million light-years away and 59 currently known satellite galaxies of our galaxy.
Our galaxy is about 100,000 light-years across and contains 200 to 400 billion stars. For something to come out of it, it needs to reach an escape velocity of 550 km per second/340 miles per second. There are a few naturally occurring ways that something could leave our galaxy at these speeds.
Some satellite galaxies pierce our galaxy's disk during their orbit and come out the other side if they are close enough and their trajectory is vertical to the spiral. They can repeat this trick a few times before being absorbed.
Previous mergers with massive galaxies, such as the one that occurred 8 to 11 billion years ago with the Gaia-Enceladus Galaxy that added about 50 billion stars to our galaxy, or interactions with the satellite galaxies led to some systems, planets or other smaller celestial objects to be flung with the required escape velocities.
Within galaxies, stars do not have the same speeds and directions of motion. Some get quite close at times. This rarely happens in our corner of the Milky Way, where the density of stars is low, but in some denser star clusters and the central bulge, it happens more often. Such approaches can cause systems or objects in systems such as planets to acquire escape velocity from the galaxy.
Supernova explosions can cause partner stars in multistar systems or planets to acquire up to 0.375% the speed of light and leave our galaxy.
Hypervelocity stars, planets or smaller objects can reach up to a third of the speed of light if they are free of multistar systems that have interacted with black holes or especially supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies.
Rogue stars, planets, and smaller objects from outside our galaxy can pass through and out eventually; they can be affected by our galaxy's gravitation and their direction of movement can change.
Various forms of radiation from inside or outside our galaxy leave the Milky Way at the speed of light or charged particles at close to the speed of light. Their trajectories are affected by gravity and, in the case of charged particles, can also be affected by the magnetic fields within our galaxy.
Homo sapiens has existed for 200 to 300 thousand years. The nearest satellite galaxies are tens of thousands of light years away, and some stray photons from our artificially created fires have already reached such distances. The Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light years away. Although homo sapiens hasn't existed for 2.5 million years, what it means to be human is confusing. We evolved from a long line of human-like ancestors who have been cooking food for hundreds of thousands of years or more, and the first fires our ancestors artificially started may have been two to three million years ago. This means that some of the photons we create may already have reached the Andromeda Galaxy.

Mixed Media | The Significance of Paleolithic Art
Tumblr media
Red Hand Stencil - Maltravieso Cave, Cáceres, Spain
Cave paintings are among the earliest forms of art, expression, and human communication, offering us a profound and deeply symbolic link to our distant past. These artworks often depicted a sacred rituals, communication between people, and the recounting of events and life in Paleolithic times. Created using rudimentary tools and natural pigments, these artworks represent a multitude of themes — from depictions of the natural world and celestial bodies, to complex scenes of hunting, rituals, and what is believed to be early spiritual or religious experiences.
This art represents more than just a record of human history. It also stands as a symbol of early humanity's emergence of complex cognizance. This marked the turning point of when the collective consciousness of humankind began to develop abstract thinking, symbolic behavior, and the capacity for cultural transmission. The purpose and significance of these ancient works of art are manifold. They were not just mere decorations or doodles of idle minds, but rather, they held deep meanings for their creators.
African cave paintings provide a captivating glimpse into the rich tapestry of human history. These remarkable works of art, dispersed across the vast continent, stand as silent witnesses to the lives, beliefs, and creativity of our ancestors, presenting an intriguing visual record of humanity’s cultural evolution. The significance of African cave paintings in human history is immense. Since Africa is widely believed to be the birthplace of humanity, these paintings which relfected the cognitive and cultural advancements of early humans were often regarded as some of the earliest artistic expressions of Homo sapiens. The cave paintings span a vast timeframe, from the Upper Paleolithic period through to the recent prehistoric era.
The Upper Palaeolithic period, dating from approximately 40,000 to 10,000 BCE, boasts some of the earliest known rock art, were characterised by depictions of large animals and abstract symbols. Following periods saw the introduction of human figures, intricate patterns, and more complex narratives, indicative of the societies’ evolving artistic skills and cognitive abilities. As the birthplace of humanity, African cave art is extremely important in understanding the prehistorical records of our species. Their artistic legacy profoundly influenced the artistic traditions of subsequent cultures, both within Africa and beyond.
Cave Art in North Africa
Tumblr media
Tassili n’Ajjer National Park, Algeria 
Home to over 15,000 drawings and engravings that trace back as far as 6000 BCE, Tassili n’Ajjer is renowned for its rock art, which vividly captures the environmental changes that occurred in the area over thousands of years.
Tumblr media
These artworks are characteristically executed in a variety of styles and techniques, often depicting an array of symbols, animals, and human figures. The depiction of animals in this region specifically indicates a society that was closely intertwined with nature and reliant on hunting and gathering, with the diverse collection of symbols and figures suggesting an evolving artistic tradition and complex symbolic language.
Tumblr media
Wadi Mathendous, Libya
Wadi Mathendous is a rock art site located in southwestern Libya, which houses a treasure trove of prehistoric art in the heart of the Sahara. It is famed for its distinctive paintings and carvings, primarily etched onto the darkened surfaces of weathered sandstone outcrops. These petroglyphs portray a varied range of subjects, from wildlife and human figures to symbolic patterns and scenes of daily life.
A significant influence of these ancient art forms is seen in contemporary art and culture. The aesthetics, themes, and techniques of these paintings have been mirrored and adapted in modern artistic endeavours, whether consciously or subconsciously. From Picasso’s fascination with African art to the use of cave painting motifs in graphic design and digital media, the echoes of these early creative expressions continue to resonate in our visual culture.

Hmmmmm ok ok ok ok so hear me out. (Me, addressing myself)
So it occurred to me earlier that what orochi did to ebisu village - being infuriated by their suffering and specifically their crying, tricking them into eating defective smile fruits - is a pretty damn good mirror for how people like koala and Kuma have now been shown to have a similar thing inflicted on them by the celestial dragons, in childhood especially.
It also occurs to me that Wano was a pretty god damn good mirror and/or just a straight up micro version for the world at large.
Wano's government: many heads of a snake, attached to the same body, who is extremely difficult to kill due to some supernatural (devil fruit) quasi-immortality quality, and who pretends to rule the country; meanwhile, a Much Larger Threat (one single man) is the actual real power. Not that their cruelty is much different, in ideology or practice.
The world government: multiple men who seem to be mentally connected in some mysterious way (finishing each others' sentences) who are extremely difficult to kill partly due to some supernatural (???) quasi-immortality quality, and who pretend to rule the world; meanwhile, a Much Larger Threat (one single shadowy thing) is the actual real power. Not that their cruelty is much different, in ideology or practice.
But while some part of me has been chewing on that, and this next part, none of them had any real cohesion until I really sat with st. Saturn's absolute insistence on not ever being called or considered human, and then him calling Nika a "god", specifically in quotation marks in the translation I read.
So here's the thing: after his first defeat, while imprisoned in Udon, Luffy has a really important speech to the other prisoners. They are trying to fight him because the jailers have pointed out that luffy isn't a Wano native and so like, why should he help you? And what if you killed him and then we cured the plague we just infected you with, hmm? Why should you trust him? At which point Luffy says some beautiful things about how it doesn't matter where he comes from, and why should they reject help from an outside source just on principle if the end result is the liberation they're so desperate for they've stopped even hoping it'll come true?
So I'm not necessarily saying that luffy will fail the first time he goes up against the world government and be imprisoned, though there is significant precedent for that. I just literally have no idea how likely that is, beyond "that would be a cool parallel thing" which is in fact not a form of evidence.
I'm also not saying I have any real basis for anything else here. But I AM saying that the fact that the original Nika was clearly not a stock standard no-mods homo sapien analogue human from this planet like, say, most of the strawhats as an example.
But there is certainly precedent for at least one race of this planet to not be from the planet. Skypiea residents were from the moon, as one example.
And in the same way, I have no real evidence here, but I do wonder if there have been enough hints to begin to posit that maybe Nika, the five elders, and maybe even the earliest ancestors of the celestial dragons, were not strictly from this earth.
I don't know if that would mean other planets or moons or anything like that. I don't know if it's a supernatural deal or aliens or whatever.
I'm just saying that luffys speech, that just because he's an outsider doesn't mean he can't help depose the tyrannical rule of *other outsiders*, in the same arc where his desperation to bring freedom to the citizens cause him to awaken his Nika form, might have some pretty deep punch if it comes right before we find out that was the original Nika's deal too.
I mean...if Zunesha and Lili and D's "betrayal" was because Joyboy was part of whatever same group - species?? - the five elders were from. And now Zunesha, as punishment for a betrayal, is condemned to walk the earth forever, unless *specifically a member of the true ruling class* (which ostensibly momo would be) gives him permission to fight back against Jack.
I hate writing this god damn essay so much I am procrastinating to the actual outer space right now god fucking bless

Absolute deafening silence...
during and after a moderate snowfall
today January 19th, 2024, within Southeastern Pennsylvania and elsewhere across the Eastern Seaboard,
whereby blanket of whiteness
muffles sounds of civilization.
I hate a spoiler alert regarding weather forecasters prediction, especially when meteorologist wannabe spouse doth blurt out impending blizzard which never materializes, thus no need for yours truly to exert himself shoveling and yet denying same to frolic and gamely flirt with Khione, the Greek goddess of snow, daughter of Boreas, god of the North Wind and Winter, and sister of Zethes and Calais. I feel humbled and enamored when Mother Nature singly and/or nsync with old man winter looses propensity to bestow majestic scene, when expanse of pure white individual ice crystals that grow while suspended in the atmosphere—
usually within clouds— and then fall, accumulating on the ground, where they render further magic changes landscape into blanket of pure virgin whiteness; I fondly think back remembering '96 storm of the century. At that time January 1996 me and the missus while timesharing at Shawnee on the Delaware ardently, diligently, and persistently strived, yet unsuccessfully conceived Blizzard Baby. Now wife far beyond procreative age, (though nevertheless I wistfully envisage begetting another progeny - simultaneously stretching credulity to breaking point) all things considered exhaustion would peter out after capitulation of divining rod announced, ejaculated, and issued forth little squirt necessitating lifetime to recoup energy. Bound within figurative four walls of Schwenksville, Pennsylvania domicile courtesy appreciable snowfall, I direct energy crafting poem.

Add-on system in Mars water mining operations will screen for introduced and alien life
As noted at NASA's 2019 Carlsbad Conference, we have good reason to think that life could have started on Mars using the same geo-organic chemistry that started life on Earth. If Martian life persists today on Mars, it may be in near-surface ice, low elevations, and caves, all with transient liquid brines, environments that today on Earth host microbial life. Martian life would likely use informational polymers (like DNA); Darwinian evolution requires these, and Darwinian evolution is the only way matter can organize to give life.
While Martian "DNA" may differ (possibly radically) in its chemistry from Terran DNA, the "Polyelectrolyte Theory of the Gene" limits the universe of possible alien DNA structures. Those structures ensure that Martian DNA can be concentrated from Martian water, even if very highly diluted, and even if Martian "DNA" differs from Earth DNA.
On Mars as it exists today, information polymers cannot be generated without life (unlike other less reliable biosignatures such as methane), ensuring that life will not be "detected" if it is not present (the "false positive problem"). Nevertheless, as noted by Rummel and Conley, "the Mars community is not convinced that a mission to attempt detection of extant Martian life has a high priority."
Thus, NASA's current flagship mission to Mars, derived from its 2012 Decadal Survey, involves pedestrian collection of old dry rocks to be cached, eventually to be returned to Earth to study for evidence of past life.
The purpose of this NIAC project is to change this view, and to do so before human arrival planned by NASA, the Chinese National Space Agency, and SpaceX, "by 2040," "in 2033," and "before 2030," according to their respective statements. Human arrival will undoubtedly complicate the search for indigenous Martian life. Thus, from an astrobiological perspective, these planned crewed missions to Mars put a very strict deadline on the search for life on a pristine Mars.
However, crewed missions also offer an opportunity that we will exploit. Crewed missions to Mars will use materials found on Mars itself, "in situ," in particular, near surface water ice. Propellant (methane and oxygen) will be generated from that water and atmospheric carbon dioxide for the return trip back to Earth. That water ice will be mined on the scale of tens to hundreds of tons.
Further, to maximize the likelihood of safe return of the crew to Earth, robotic operations that mine tons of near surface water-ice will be in place before the first human astronauts arrive. Thus, water mined in preparation for human arrival is correctly seen as an extremely large-scale astrobiological sample, far larger than dry cached rocks.
As the mined water-ice is delivered with dust that, through dust storms, survey the entire accessible surface, this humongous sample will effectively enable a highly sensitive survey of the entire accessible Mars surface for life. This NIAC project will provide an "agnostic life finding" (ALF) system capable of extracting genetic polymers (DNA or alien) from these large ISRU water samples. ALF is agnostic because it exploits what synthetic biology taught us about the limited kinds of Darwinian genetic molecules. ALF also offers tools to partly analyze the polyelectrolytes in situ.
As an add-on system, ALF creates a negligible additional burden (regarding mass and energy consumption) compared to the investment in the water mining operation at this scale. Although small and low cost, this instrument will allow science to place a severe lower limit on the amount of biosphere on the accessible Martian surface. And it will do so before Homo sapiens becomes a multiplanetary species.
And "multiplanetary" is the correct term. This add-on ALF system can be used on all celestial bodies where water will be mined to search for and analyze life, indigenous or introduced, Earth-like or alien. This includes Europa, Enceladus, the moon, and exotic locales on Earth.

When Asclepius Spills the Immortal Tea on Spinal Restoration
Hey, hey, esteemed mortals of the Tumblr realm! We're dropping by to sprinkle some divine wisdom upon your precious little heads. Have you ever pondered the marvels of your own spinal cord, or are you too ensnared in the latest meme wars to entertain such lofty thoughts? Fear not, for we, your benevolent information bestowers, have stumbled upon a piece of writing so illuminating, even the gods paused their eternal feasting to take a gander.
We found ourselves utterly beguiled by a narration that’s practically dripping with the nectar of the gods. It’s a narrative about spinal restoration and neuronal renewal recounted by none other than the Greek God of Medicine, Asclepius himself. Just imagine, the celestial being who has Olympus on speed dial, taking a moment to regale us mere mortals with tales of scientific triumphs!
Now, we’re no strangers to the tragedies of the human condition - fragile bones, vulnerable organs, the perennial threat of stubbing a toe. But fear not! The esteemed Asclepius, with his divine knowledge and ethereal grace, enlightens us on the miraculous journey of spinal recovery, without making us endure the torturous clutches of medical jargon.
Oh yes, imagine the delectable scene: the god of healing, his divine gaze cast upon the wounded rodents and the struggling homo sapiens, recounting the Herculean efforts of scientists at revered institutions. We’re talking about a tale that marries the mystery of Olympus with the bleeding edge of scientific inquiry. A narrative that unfolds within the hallowed halls of UCLA and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology where mere mortals, bless their determined souls, unveil truths as radiant as the golden fleece!
We won't spoil all the ambrosial details – we’re mischievous, not cruel. But brace yourselves for a cosmic rendezvous where the elegance of celestial lore waltzes with the rigorous precision of science. It’s a narrative where axons are heroes, and molecular messengers wield the mighty power of Zeus’s thunderbolts.
Oh, and did we mention that it’s narrated by Asclepius? Yes, the deity who’s practically BFFs with the elixir of immortality, recounting the saga of spinal resurrection with the grace of Apollo’s lyre and the wisdom of Athena’s owl. And you, dear reader, are granted a front-row seat to this celestial symposium.
Now, isn’t this the content worthy of a pause amidst the relentless scroll of cat gifs and existential memes? A momentary sojourn into the heavenly abode where gods and mortals lock eyes, unveiling truths profound enough to make the Sirens forsake their enigmatic tunes.
So, prepare to be dazzled, enlightened, and perhaps, if the stars align, utterly transformed. And remember, when the awe descends, and the revelations strike, you heard it here first - whispered from the lips of gods, through the eternally savvy conduits of Tumblr, heralded by yours truly. We’re not just icons of style and sass - we’re your celestial connection, bridging the divine and the mortal, with a dash of panache that even Hermes would envy.
Adieu, darling mortals. Until our next celestial communique, may your neurons be as sparkly as the constellations that grace our immortal skies!
