Star Trek

For I have walked with giant and found ants.

I was thinking about this earlier today and have come up with a valid reason to why Mars lost all of it's water and life. First I will being using the Earth as the example. We know that Earth has life and has water. We also know that the Moon orbits the Earth and provide pulls on the Earth's water sources all around the world. We also know that as the Moon orbits the Earth it pulls the water that is in it's gravitational field with it thus causing the water to be aerated. The three definitions provided below are the functions as it relates to gravity being a force of influence upon another state of matter, the state of matter being H2O in it's liquid state.

1. To supply with air or expose to the circulation of water:
¿ ¿aerate water.
2. To expose to oxygen, as in the oxygenation of the ocean by
¿ ¿aeration.
3. To supply or charge (liquid) with a gas, especially to charge
¿ ¿with carbon dioxide

1. As the gravity moves around the Earth, it causes the Hydrogen and Oxygen to remain in a random motion that does not allow for the atoms to settle. A body at rest tends to stay at rest, a body in motion tends to remain in motion. We know that in order for a water source to provide life for the creatures to survive within the water source, a pond,lake or ocean, these water sources must be continually aerated. This aeration comes in three forms, gravity pulling on the H2O as the Moon orbits the Earth fresh water sources running into another water source that stirs the water up and the core of the Earth that produces a strong enough EM force that helps aid the aeriation of Earths water sources. This agitation of the water creates new H2O for the creatures of the water source to use as well as carrying the H2O to soil where the Oxygen rich H2O is then used by plants and animals to replenish their systems.

We can see the effect that the moons gravity has on the Earth everyday. This can be proven by looking at a lake and watching the small waves as they race across the surface of the pond, lake or ocean. These waves are created by the above two mentioned sources of aeration, the Moon's gravity and the core of the Earth's magnetic field. These two effects placed upon the H2O of Earth create a continual agitation on all of the water sources across the entire planet.

We also know that if a water source does not receive a fresh supply of running water it will eventually dry up regardless of how much gravity is forcing it's influence against the H2O atoms of the water source. When a body of water becomes stagnant like this, the result is that the life living in the body of water is no longer receiving a fresh supply of oxygen. This has the result of the larger creatures that require the most oxygen dieing off first until all of the creatures that consume the most oxygen have died leaving behind those creatures that only need a minute of H2O to survive. The death chart for this would go like this, with the first creature listed dieing first due to the lack of oxygen down to the smallest creature that can survive on the smallest amount of oxygen. Humpback Whale ----> Great White Shark -------> Dolphin -------> Salmon ------> Large Mouth Bass ---->Perch ------> Minnow -------> Sea Snail ------> Sea Microbial Life. Once the stagnation has occurred the cycle of life has been interrupted thus causing a ecological breakdown for the entire body of water. The Moon's gravity is an important role in the aeration of the Earths bodies of water as well as keeping the oxygen and other gases in the atmosphere circulating. If the moon was not present these gases would cease to circulate and would cause the same ecological breakdown as was described above. This would be the part ....a body in motion tends to stay in motion, in this case gravity creating an aerated force of influence on a body of water necessary for the existence and continued survivability of life on a planet.

Now onto Mars. What does Mars not have that Earth does? A Moon. Perhaps at one time there was life on Mars maybe just as abundant as life is here on Earth but because of the fact that there is no moon present to create of gravitational force of influence, then the gases in the atmosphere would not have been violent enough to cause erosion's of the Martian surface to allow the Martian bodies of water to run new courses where they would empty into other bodies of water creating agitated aeration that would have created a continuous source of new oxygen for the creatures to survive. The lack of aeration would have also have found it's way to the floral and fauna that the land creatures would have fed off of with the omnivores feeding off of both of these sources of food. The missing moon would also have continuously aerated the Martian bodies of water in the same way that our Moon tug and pulls on Earth's bodies of water. The lack of the gravity generated by the moon not being present would also have had the effect of shaping and molding the sub-surface geography under the oceans and other Martian bodies of water. When the gravity creates a wave and the wave moves the sand pebbles on the bottom or near the shore line. This erosion then causes a portion of the shoreline or even portions of the bed of the body of water to collapse creating a new force of influence that the gases under the force of gravitational influence from the moon as well encounter and further add to the erosion. When the smallest amount of matter slides into the body of water it agitates the water causing new oxygen to be made. On Earth this process is occurring at ever half Planck second of the day. But on Mars, where there is no moon to provide this gravitational force of influence the bodies of water would have become stagnant. The water would have just layed there in it's lakes and oceans. The life contained within these bodies of water would have not gotten any bigger then maybe a Large Mouth Bass or Tuna. These creatures would have aerated the bodies of water for maybe a few millions of years, but without a constant supply of fresh water agitating their bodies of water, they would have slowly died out. This is because they would taken the most oxygen out of the water. This coupled with the larger creatures feeding on the smaller creatures that survive on even smaller forms of life brought about by a continuous supply of fresh oxygenated water would have killed off the Martian life at double the rate. With this little bit of aeration gone, any plant life would have consumed the remaining oxygen in the water. The Sun would have also been a major killer of Mars as well. As the stagnant bodies of water became void of life, the sun would have slowly evaporated the water into the Martian atmosphere. Without the moon present the water vapors would have continued out into space. This is because the gravitational force of the moon orbiting Mars would have also forced the evaporating water to blend with the other gases of Mars that would create a cloud layer and wind patterns that would keep the gases moving at faster then light speed velocity. This force would then have created water that would then have rained back down on Mars thus replenishing the water source and keeping Mars fresh with new oxygen created by the aerated agitation of the force of gravitational influence of a moon being present. This would be the part ....a body rest tends to stay at rest, in this case gravity is not creating an aerated force of influence on a body of water necessary for the existence and continued survivability of life on a planet.

So why did Mars lose all of its water and possibility to support life like Earth does? Because Mars does not have a moon to create an opposing force of gravitation force of influence that aids in the aeration of the gases necessary to sustain life.

A little nit-picking:

Faster "than light speed velocity"? Did you just put that in there to see if we were awake?

I thought Mars lost its water because it didn't have a magnetosphere. The solar wind and weak gravity combined caused the atmosphere to slowly get thinner. Once the atmosphereic pressure go low enough, water would boil away at lower temps and escape.
But I do agree that if Mars had a large moon, it might have kept the water and atmosphere. The gravitational stirring of the Mars interior might have gotten the Martain core spinning and it too would have had a magnetosphere.

for you the quote should be I AM AN ANT..

Mar lost it water due to the fact that the solar winds stripped Mar's atomsphere. What remains is at a very low atomspheric pressure.

Low Atomspheric pressure means that water boil rapidly and exposure to solar radiation broke the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen molecules who velocities allow them to escaped the planet gravitation field into space.

If mars was a bit larger and had a magnetic field this would not have happen.
