Earlier this year, a group of scientists
claimed with certainty that tiny fossils uncovered inside a meteorite
found in Sri Lanka in late December 2012, are proof of extraterrestrial
life. A paper was published in the Journal of Cosmology (1)(3) by
Chandra Wickramasinghe. Wickramasinghe is the director of the
Buckingham Centre for Astrobiology at the University of Buckingham in
the U.K. The study was conducted alongside researchers at the School of
Mathematics at Cardiff University and from the Medical Research
Institute in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
They found “a microstructure and
morphology characteristic of a wide class of terrestrial diatoms.” The
group concluded that “the presence of structures of this kind in any
extraterrestrial setting could be constructed as unequivocal proof of
biology.” Cardiff University was asked to proof-check and analyze the
findings, which it did, concluding that the samples were “unequivocally
meteorites” and that the analysis of the material structure showed that
algae-like fossils were native to it.
This is the first-ever evidence of
extraterrestrial life found in a celestial body. The researchers used
sophisticated methods like X-ray diffraction, triple oxygen isotope
analysis and scanning electron microscopy.
In 1962, Hoyle and I pioneered the theory of carbon grains in space to replace the old ice grain theory. This was vehemently resisted by the astronomical community at the outset, but with the dawn of infrared spectroscopy, the ice grain theory gave way to the carbon dust theory. Over a few years, after a great deal of model-fitting, we came to the conclusion that material similar to biomaterial fitted all the available data in astronomy. We considered the possibility that microbiology had a universal character, and no observations in astronomy or new information from biology has provided contrary evidence.If only ideas that are considered orthodox are given support through award of grans or publication opportunities, it is certain that the progress of science will be stifled as it was throughout the middle ages – Wickramsinghe
English astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle along
with Wickramasinghe co-developed a theory known as “panspermia,” which
suggests that life exists throughout the universe and is distributed by
meteoroids and asteroids. It’s quite a synchronicity that this meteorite
found in Sri Lanka happened to fall in their lap, potentially proving
their theory correct.
We conclude that the identification of fossilized diatoms in the Polonnaruwa meteorite is firmly established and unimpeachable. Since this meteorite is considered to be an extinct commentary fragment, the idea of microbial life carried within comets and the theory of cometary panspermia is thus vindicated. This was also the guess of the Sri Lankan geologists who first looked at the rock. I personally have no doubt whatsoever that this was a stone that fell from the skies – Wickramsinghe
This isn’t the first time that extraterrestrial life has been confirmed, according to Wickramasinghe. In an earlier paper (2) that
he co-authored in 2012 titled “Non-terrestrial origin of life: a
transformative research paradigm shift” where the abstract reads:
Theories and hypotheses in science are continually subject to verification, critical re-evaluation, revision and indeed evolution, in response to new observations and discoveries. Theories of the origin of life have been more constrained than other scientific theories and hypotheses in this regard, through the force of social and cultural pressures. There has been a tendency to adhere too rigidly to a class of theory that demands a purely terrestrial origin of life. For nearly five decades evidence in favour of a non-terrestrial origin of life and panspermia has accumulated which has not been properly assessed. A point has now been reached that demands the serious attention of biologists to a possibly transformative paradigm shift of the question of the origin of life, with profound implications across many disciplines – Wickramsinghe
Just to
reiterate, these scientists are claiming to have found fossilized
biological structures in a Sri Lankan meteorite of extraterrestrial
origin. The researchers say that tiny algae-like fossils found in
meteorite fragments could not have originated on our planet. There have
been critics that say the stone was of terrestrial origin, and the study
addressees these concerns and debunks them with scientific evidence
(1)(3).
Extraterrestrial Life and Intelligent Extraterrestrial Life
This is a very significant finding, it’s
the first time that a direct scientific find of extraterrestrial life
can be confirmed. You would think that it would make major headlines,
but unfortunately it didn’t. As illustrated in an earlier paper (2), a
point has now been reached that demands the serious attention of
biologists to a possibly transformative paradigm shift on the question
about the origin of life. It’s well known that theories about the origin
of life have been very constrained, more so than other scientific
theories and hypotheses due to the force of social and cultural
pressures(2). The question of extraterrestrial life, and even beyond
that, intelligent extraterrestrial life is currently playing a large
role in a massive and transformative paradigm shift that is currently
occurring on our planet.
On one hand, we have mainstream science
looking for signs for extraterrestrial life, on the other hand we have a
very large amount of evidence to suggest that intelligent
extraterrestrial life has already been discovered -and that this
shocking paradigm shifting information has been concealed from the
public for over 70 years. What do you think?
