According to a recent paper in the Journal of Cosmology.
Interestingly, this ties into the red rain phenomenon people have been experiencing around the world, and may be the best evidence yet for Panspermia.
Quote:At the time of entry into the EarthGÇÖs atmosphere on 29 December 2012, the parent body of the Polonnaruwa meteorite would have had most of its interior porous volume filled with water, volatile organics and possibly viable living cells. A remarkable coincidence that should be noted is that within several days of the meteorite fall, an extensive region around the site of the fall experienced an episode of red rain. The red rain analysed at the MRI in Colombo has been shown to contain red biological cells that show viability as well as motility. Preliminary studies from EDX analysis show that these cells are similar to the cells found in the red rain of Kerala that fell in 2001, cells that have not yet been identified with any known terrestrial organism "The nice thing about quotes is that they give us a nodding acquaintance with the originator which is often socially impressive." ~Kenneth Williams |

there's no way. we'd win.
the "donut shapes" are no cause for concern. the shape of a blood platelet's round-disc-with-pinched-center is a geometrically-efficient shape for rapid absorption and diffusion of molecules. so... as long as physics works the same where these "donut shapes" originated, it's just convergent development.
and yeah, the circles also similar in size to human platelets (2GÇô3 -¦m), BUT the paper takes a stab at claiming the leech-looking things are biologically defined structures yet fails to address the circles -WHILE- making repeated mention of "red rain" ...leading the reader to associate fossilized circles with blood through suggestion of color (red) and liquid (rain).
I'm going to believe the paper is tabloid scientific journalism.
particularly this sentence: "Diatoms are unicellular phytoplankton characterised by elaborately sculptured frustules comprised of a hydrated silicon dioxide polymer."
why is "the journal of cosmology" including a definition of a diatom? who is their intended audience, exactly.
laypeople. who read the national enquirer. Want To Adopt: any 2003 children to work as passive income minor alts in the PLEX trade.. |

Any virus which can harm us has evolved alongside us for millenia to do just that, exploiting specific things. Unless humans are common throughout the universe, it's not really a concern.

unless i see the rock fall from the sky myself, I don't believe it. it's more likely the circles and "leech" fossils are forams and other diatom fossils that are from -earth-

space coal? CCP gave that to 50,000 people late december. big deal. unless i can run my car with space coal, i'm not interested. unless enough of it falls that someone can sell it, no one else will care either

Unless you're going to claim those images are not from a meteorite, and are hoaxed somehow, i'm not sure what your point is.
If you want to accuse a university of hoaxing, don't let me stop you. Head on over to their site and tell them how wrong they are.

my claim is, the paper is a joke
those were found on 29 December 2012, and the report is published 2 weeks later?
if these people value their credibility at all, they would spend weeks, even months refining their claims before publishing.
anyone familiar with scientific papers would recognize this, and have a good laugh.
heading of the paper: dated 10 january 2013
first sentence of the abstract: "We report the discovery for the first time of diatom frustules in a carbonaceous meteorite that fell in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka on 29 December 2012."

And how could they refine their claims further? It seems pretty simple. They found a meteorite, and when put under a microscope they found Diatoms. That's the main point here.

The journal of cosmology's executive editor appears to be one of that paper's writers. That's why it's been published so quickly.
The paper says that the theories of said writer, have been vindicated.
It's not exactly unbiased.

Predictably there's lots of people questioning it, because NASA is the appointed gatekeeper for all space discoveries.
It's quite difficult these days to do any sort of serious research into these things without NASA influence, which is why publications like this journal are popping up. They may not have the same polish of other journals, but it's still worth consideration.
To show just how unbiased i am on matters of science, i'll provide you with Phil Plait's denial of this discovery. That guy lives to attack everything outside of NASA, and blindly support everything NASA says, so he's pretty biased himself. He tries every trick in the book to make it go away, from ad-hominem attacks to misrepresenting the study, and never really comes out with any hard proof its not accurate, but it's still the best attempt to 'debunk' it i've seen yet, and to some of you it will probably be very convincing.

anyone who has passed a general biology 100 class should see through the paper.
first flag: how did the process go from meteor discovery, to analysis, to publishing between 29 december and 10 Jan
- pygmys in sri lanka identify this rock as a meteorite, in the middle of nowhere
- no i'm not serious about the pygmy bit i'm just making fun
- buckingham university is identified as the most appropriate recipient of the rock
- the rock is sent and arrives at buckingham university
- the rock is analyzed and studied
- hypotheses, conclusions, controls, etc. ->scientific process
- all certifying parties involved agree on their findings
- paper is published
in two weeks?
second flag: why is the journal of cosmology explaining what a diatom is? I know what a diatom is, surely anyone who follows the journal of cosmology would too....
this is because: unless the target audience is the uneducated. when -ever- is a scientific journal article written for laypeople.
OP.
seriously?
quick fact pulled out of my *** memory: the average IQ of persons who have earned a doctorate degree is just shy of 130. I shared this two-cent statistic with one of my professors and he was proud.
education isn't everything, but it helps to think for yourself. I worry about you, OP. Want To Adopt: any 2003 children to work as passive income minor alts in the PLEX trade.. |

Formal education is mainly about memorization, actually. People aren't scored on how well they can think independently, they're scored on how well they can parrot what they were told.
And don't worry about me. I'll keep thinking for myself and taking abuse from mediocre minds for it. Been doing it so long i take people getting mad as a sign of cognitive dissonance, and not personally "The nice thing about quotes is that they give us a nodding acquaintance with the originator which is often socially impressive." ~Kenneth Williams |
