Finding Solutions to the Fermi Paradox with Harvard's Dr. Avi Loeb

With the recent findings of seasonal methane blooms on Mars and now unusual readings of unexplained oxygen levels, the question of "is there microbiological life on the red planet?" goes unanswered. In 1976, NASA sent Viking 1 and Viking 2 with four types of biological experiments. Of these experiments, the Labeled Release Experiment returned positive results on both landers, however the control tests could not confirm the results. Did the Viking landers find life on Mars?You can buy Dr. Patricia Ann Straat's book here: https://www.tomarswithlove.com/Want to support the channel?Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EventHorizonShowFollow us at other places!Website: https://www.eventhorizonshow.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/jmgeventhorizonLinks:With Mars Methane Mystery Unsolved, Curiosity Serves Scientists a New One: Oxygenhttps://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2019/with-mars-methane-mystery-unsolved-curiosity-serves-scientists-a-new-one-oxygen/Curiosity's Mars Methane Mystery Continueshttps://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/curiosity-detects-unusually-high-methane-levels

10 Reasons Why Humanity Is an Alien Civilization

Astrobiologist Dr. Graham Lau joins John Michael Godier to explore the biggest questions in science: how life begins, why intelligence might be rare, whether ocean worlds trap alien civilizations, and what the Panzoic Effect reveals about humanity’s future.
