Scientists Show What Exactly Went Wrong With Mars

  • Mars wasn't always a cold and barren world ruled by raging dust storms covering the entire planet. Instead, it was warm, had lakes of liquid water, and was possibly habitable for a short period in its history. This dramatic transition of the Red Planet is generally attributed to the loss of its magnetic field. A planet's magnetic field is a fundamental ingredient that decides the course of events there. It's an entity that can cause the difference between life and death.
    The Earth's magnetosphere wraps Earth like a protective blanket. As the energetic solar wind strikes the magnetosphere, the magnetosphere forces it to flow around the planet instead of reaching the atmosphere or the surface, preventing the solar wind from stripping away Earth's atmosphere. Without it, Earth would be dry, dead, and barren, just like Mars. But if Mars once had a strong magnetic field, what went wrong with it? How did a warm planet become a cold, dry, and barren world? And most importantly, is this going to be the Earth's ultimate fate?
    The eleventh episode of the Sunday Discovery Series answers these questions.

    I think this video may be too optimistic about colonizing Mars. The chances of Mars being habitable are pretty tiny. Mars contains an extremely low temperature, high concentrations of toxic chemicals, lethal amounts of radiation, an insufficient amount of water, and an atmosphere that is 1% of Earth's. And the idea of terraformation, as I see in several comments, is being way ahead of today, as we're not even close to possessing the technology capable of doing so.

    In a science fiction alternate history short story by Stephen Baxter, every couple of hundred of millions of years, Mars undergoes huge eruptions and forms a thin but breathable atmosphere. During a very short time, maybe 100 thousands years or even shorter, Martian life that was hibernating flourishes again and enjoys a short Martian summer. On alternate Earth during our present human civilization we find out Mars has life. No big deal, since it was always there even when early man watched Mars. The space program is much more ambitious than in our original solar system. Unfortunately the Space Race and the Cold War are a bit ''hotter'' too. The first American and Russian spacecraft arrive, but soon international political tentions cause World War Three. Earth dies. The only humans left are a couple of dozen Martian colonists. Even more unfortunately is that the survivors soon discover that they arrived at the very end of the Martian summer. The air is already getting thinner...

      Mar's gravity is fine for holding onto liquid water. It's the lack of atmosphere. At only 1% of Earth's atmosphere, water ice sublimates into gas when heated (as seen in the expanding and shrinking poles) and then is stripped away by the solar radiation.

      Mars is not only losing atmosphere it's losing water as well. Water sublimates from ice to vapor. The atmosphere you speak of on Mars is almost non existent. The pressure is like 5% that of Earth's, practically a vacuum by our standards. Mars does not have enough mass to hang onto atmosphere, or it's water.
      Not having a magnetosphere doesn't help but any atmosphere on Mars never stood a chance.

    Venus is currently in a runaway greenhouse effect. The earth went through that stage as well. Mars is now dry and dusty, and its volcanoes long dead, its heat is gone. The earth has robust volcanic activity and underground molten lava flows. Venus has this too. The earth used to rotate around the sun at a closer distance, at one point about the same distance as Venus orbits the sun now, and Mars was also orbiting closer then, perhaps close to where our earth orbits now.
    It seems plausible that Mars was once like Earth is today. It seems likely that Earth will become what Mars is now. Venus will likely continue its evolution and its runaway greenhouse effect will slowly diminish, just like the Earth's did, and it will also be farther from the sun one day, about as far from it as we are now. It is easy to imagine Venus would then have beautiful oceans and as the planet cooled, life would form. And Earth will by then be dusty and cold, no oceans of water, no volcanic activities. Maybe one day Earth might have a Venusian probe being driven around remotely, looking at our dried up ocean beds and our empty barren land.

      We could survive on the moon, if the base was entirely underground to protect against radiation. The moon has gravity enough.
      We could survive on mars, if the base was entirely underground to protect against radiation. Mars has even more gravity than the moon.
      We can't survive long in space because zero-G wrecks human bodies in countless ways - plus the issue of radiation. Humans really need at least some gravity to keep their bodies going.
      We could survive in space, though, if we just built big enough: a centrifugal ring or cylinder, for example. We could protect against radiation with a meter-thick layer of water. The reason we don't? Really expensive and would require real dedication and determination to get it done.
      But don't feel bad - I am confident that humanity cannot get its collective crap together well enough to do any of these things before the accessible resources run out. You can feel confident that humanity will perish still in the cradle, within a half-million years no matter what. More likely sooner, by its own collective hand. We're doomed, just like you want.

    • @sealsonsaturn
      @sealsonsaturn Před rokem

      Without creating an alternative way of diverting solar winds, yes, any atmosphere would be stripped from the planet. Most of what is seen from Mars surface photos in the sky is actually just dust and other debris from the surface (and some of it is water), and not an actual sky as we know it here on earth. That said if we come up with the technology to reshape an atmosphere we probably wont be too far off from being able to manipulate a magneto sphere. But in that case, itd be easier to fast track venus past its greenhouse effect

  • @davidclason5026

    So let me get this straight, Mars' mantle stopped moving after it was separated into an inner and outer core causing the magnetosphere to be lost, but the mantle is moving enough to cause earthquakes all day long. I think you observations from the amazing Mars Lander cancel each other out. So what exactly did we learn about Mars from this mission?
    There are earth(Mars)quakes that happen all day long and you don't know why. You thought it was caused by Cereberus Mars' moon that is way smaller than Earth's moon, and our moon doesn't cause earthquakes.... So you reverted to saying well the Marsquakes must be happening because of the movement of the mantle.
    It is ok to say you don't know why marsquakes are happening. These were the tests we made before the power was drained to critical amounts on the lander. As a result we are going to send a new mission to Mars that will include these tests: Test 1, test 2, test 3, etc.
    If you be honest and let people know that more studying is required you might garner additional interest in exploring the solar system from the public because their is a Mystery afoot. Space exploration needs mystery to keep people interested NASA always has a reason even when it doesn't sound too convincing. If people are curious about the Mystery of Mars, they will make the politicians fund your research. It's ok to not know. It's called Learning.

    In my theory of how the solar system was formed Mars is much older than earth and its interior much colder, not just due to its being further away from the sun but because it has had more time to radiate its heat into space. By contrast Venus is much younger than earth according to this theory. I don't think Mars will ever be habitable by humans nor will humans have the ability to terraform it. What's more even if humans lived on Mars safely its lower gravity would take a toll on human health. Be careful where you jump on Mars, you could hit your head against the ceiling. Anyway I congratulate Elon Musk for trying. Many have had the same fantasy but no one has actually made an attempt with the resources at Musk's command. I don't even see the possibility of anyone getting to Mars alive in the foreseeable future and even if they could it's a one way trip and life expectancy would be short. Just my opinion.

      @@geminisfl I do not believe planets come into existence by aggregated clouds of smoke and dust. I learned a lot of things from physicists I don't believe because they made no sense to me. Now it's beginning to make no sense to them either. I had a 50 year headstart on them. If what they say doesn't convince me I try to figure things out for myself based on what I think I know that does. My conclusions are very different from theirs. Right now many of them don't know what to think. Of the two kinds of theories, those that have been proven wrong and those that haven't been proven wrong yet, a lot of their theories they believed in are falling into the first category and they haven't come up with replacements so far.
      If planets came from clouds of dust there'd still be plenty of it around not just in our solar system but in the solar systems of 4000 exoplanets they've discovered so far and we wouldn't be able to detect them. Do I have another more plausible theory? Yes. Will I reveal it one day? Maybe.

      Planetary geologists think Valles Marineris began to open along geological faults about 3.5 billion years ago.
      The faulting was caused by the tectonic activity that accompanied the growth of the giant volcanoes lying just to the west. The largest being Olympus Mons which is about 374 miles in diameter and over fifteen miles high. There are three other volcanoes to the east of Olympus Mons that are larger than any volcano on Earth.

    As the moon orbits Earth it helps to churn the molten iron core, like with the ocean tides.

That may help explain why Mars core has cooled, while ours is still churning away.

Seek him now and come to him while there is still a little time left for your soul. Read the gospels for yourself in the bible to know him and the path of Salvation. No one comes to God but by him and by his precious blood which was shed for all our sins when He was crucified. Heaven and hell are real places and there are countless testimonials of people who have had near death experiences that witnessed them firsthand. The bible is a real book. Everyone shall be judged by their hearts and actions in this life. Only Jesus is able to set you free from your sins. The time is very short. You have been warned.

      Venus has stronger gravity and despite its high surface temperature the temperature of the upper layers of its atmosphere are quite low, which also helps it retain its atmosphere. It's even believed that Venus's thick atmosphere induces a magnetic field, which may protect its atmosphere. Still I think the role of a magnetic field on atmosphere retention is overrated. It's mainly gravity and temperature.
