The planet Mars had the eruption of a 25 km high
_vulcano_ which destroyed
his our earth very similar
athmosphere. The deductions
that "Caves spotted on Mars"
could preserve earlier form
of opaque life better than
the to the sunlight exposed
surface seems to an elevated
probability measured 0.5+0.001+0.0001 ad infinitum . The ceteris
paribus clause that Mars
is similar to our Earth
plays a key role. Our
deductions go from
the acquaintance we have
here far out to the universe and we draw
an analogy. What is lesser
trivial would be to find
finally traces of the unknown axis of our galaxy in the ice
chunks on Mars.
Counterexample:
Galaxy axis = ~= 334 kpc .
Example: An on planet Mars observable Milky Way galaxy axis hint or trace.
