Terra-forming may be a long and expensive process, but it will likely pay off in the end. Our own population on Earth has become overcrowded, so we might need another planet for extra living space.

I know we haven't seen all the way to the end of the universe (if it even has an end, who knows?), but do you think maybe we, the human race, are the first civilization of sentient beings in the galaxy?

By fully evolved I meant capable of the same things as human beings. Wouldn't we see life on Mars if we figured out how to colonize it?

So there wouldn't be such a thing as fully evolved life on Mars until after we're gone?

So maybe in another thousand years, whatever bacteria is on Mars would evolve into something capable of living there?

All the planets in our solar system formed at the same time 4.5 billion years ago. However, does this mean they all went through the same evolutionary periods at the same times? What if Mars finished forming before Earth, and Venus after Earth? Maybe Venus is still developing?

Is there something that can be added to palm trees to make them more tolerable to cold weather? If so, is there one that can be added to the tree without hurting it?

It's just a concept, an idea. I've just had trouble making it work.

What are you talking about?

Oops. Forgot about that. Here's the whole storyline: "Civil war among the four Martian tribes devastated the planet's ecology, so a state of emergency was declared, and the Martians agreed that they had to colonize a new planet. They lacked the technology, and time, to restore Mars to it's former glory. So together the survivors of the wars gathered into star ships, and flew towards Earth through a warp gate. Disaster struck when the ships left for Earth. A nearby meteor shower crashed into them, sending them all hurtling towards Earth. As an emergency measure the occupants of the ships cryogenically froze themselves, just in time for impact. The ships crash landed into what eventually became Mount McKay, Ontario, Canada. Luckily the ships' advanced shielding technology and nuclear power cells kept the frozen Martians alive for centuries to come. Fast-forward to 2050 AD. Years of rain erosion had softened the layers of rock the ships were underneath. Local hikers from Toronto had accidentally stumbled upon one of the ships while exploring old caverns. The hikers managed to get their discovery covered by the news media, and enough interest was generated that archaeologists were sent in to see if they could open the ship. The world watched as workers carefully tunneled through Mount McKay. Everyone on board the first ship thawed out, and were curious to their new surroundings. At first the Martians and humans were afraid of each other, but an agreement was made; As long as the two groups showed no hostilities they would work together to uncover the other ships. Eventually, after almost a month of hard work, every ship that had crashed into the area was uncovered, and the Martian race had been defrosted so they could live once again. Unfortunately, statistics showed that Earth's human population was too much, and the Martians still needed a new home. Then the Martians were informed that Earth was in the process of developing technology to terraform hostile planets like Mars. In exchange for being allowed to re-occupy their former planet, the Martians aided Earth in quickly developing the necessary technology. The combined efforts of mankind and the Martians paid off, and by 2053 Mars had been reborn. It's flora and fauna had been totally restored, and it's roads and buildings were soon rebuilt. A treaty was signed among the tribes that they would never again settle their disputes with warfare. As a thanks for their help, Mars shared with Earth their warp gate technology, allowing Earth to better reach further planets in the galaxy in shorter times. This allowed Earth to discover several hundred more alien civilizations among the stars, and even more to come as time went on."

So you're saying that there should have been something like the planet's core lost it's polarity after the Martians evacuated?

Yes, but I want parts of it to make sense.

I just encountered a problem with one of the settings in my science fiction concept. Mars is supposed to have one been a forest world until 10 millennial ago when it was ravaged by civil war. But Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. How could it have been a forest/jungle planet when it was further from the sun than Earth? That kind of plant and tree life would need a lot of heat to sustain it, wouldn't it?

Is it the same case for Mars, Ceres and Jupiter?

But I was wondering if maybe the planets were slowly drifting away from our sun.

Was there a time when the planets in our galaxy were closer to the sun than they are now?

Then if the bike was going 200 km/h, how long would it take to exit the loop?

I mean this kind of loop:

No, because I calculated 188.4 feet. What do you mean by any "sensible" speed?

Let me give you these figures first: -The loop is 4 lanes wide. -It's diameter is 60 feet. -It's circumference is 188.4 feet. -The rider is riding a 2000 CC motorcycle. How fast would he have to go to get through the loop?

Science cat.

I've seen it done with a small frog. How could it be done with a human being (If at all plausible)?

WARNING! Penis jokes.

You know, the third image's creature would probably be fine with it's normal body and more advanced intelligence.
