Perhaps on Mars insects
At the moment there is no clear evidence that Mars has life. On the other hand, does not work yet and absolutely disprove the existence of living organisms on the red Planet. Therefore, the mass of scientists from all over the world trying to find at least some evidence in favor of a particular argument. And a new study by professors at Ohio state University William Romoser claims that we have . But not so simple as it seems.
Dr. Romoser that specializiruetsya in medical entomology (a branch of Zoology that studies insects), spent several years studying the photographs of Mars that are available on the Internet. He found many examples of insect forms, structured like the bees and retaliatory forms as fossils, and, as he says, living beings.
On Mars was and is life — noting that the submitted pictures can be seen as fossilized and living creatures. There is an obvious diversity among Martian insect fauna, which has many features typical of terrestrial insects. For example, the presence of wings, flexing wings, flexible slide/flying and the various elements of the limbs.
In General this is very similar to an insect. But the outlines are fuzzy.
Romoser said that while the Mars Rovers, in particular the Mars Rover Curiosity, looking for indicators of organic activity, there are a number of photographs that clearly depict insect and retaliatory form. Numerous photographs show images where the body segments of arthropods, along with the legs and wings, can be clearly distinguished from the surrounding area. How do you think what is shown in the images — it really insects? Have your say in our
Individual images were studied by varying various photographic parameters, such as brightness, contrast, saturation, inversion, and so on. Content was not added in the photo and will not be removed from them. The criteria used in the study of Romoser included a sharp selection on the background environment, the clarity of form, symmetry of the body, segmentation of body parts, skeletal remains and observation forms in close proximity to each other, special postures, evidence of movement, flight, visible interaction, and so on.
After were identified and described in a clear way, it was useful to facilitate the recognition of other equally reliable images of the same shape — said Romoser. The exoskeleton and jointed appendages sufficient to establish identify form as arthropod. Three areas of the body, one pair of antennae and six legs traditional for many of the insectoids.
And here is the picture already raises a number of questions…
And now let's digress from evidence provided to us and look at the problem from a slightly different angle. Not once in the images from Mars, many enthusiasts and even well-known scientists have found something similar to the op outlines on living organisms. This is not news and like an illusion (and in this case, with great probability this is it) there is a scientific explanation — pareidolia. Pareidolia — it is a feature of the human brain to interpret an unfamiliar image and recognize them in familiar objects. So our consciousness is easier to analyze and structure information.
Critics of the theory of Professor Romoser and representatives declare that they supplied the images is nothing but «sand, shadows and stones». Besides do not forget that honourable scientist throughout his life engaged in the study of insects and other insectoid life forms. So it is not surprising that his brain «saw» the familiar shape. Of course, to completely eliminate not worth it, but to believe such statements is with great skepticism.
