An Antique Planet

Antique Planet


« In the very beginning everything was resting in perpetual darkness; night oppressed everything like an impenetrable thicket” (The Great Father myth of the Aranda people of Central Australia).

“All was in suspense, all calm, all in silence; all montionless and still; and the expanse of the sky was empty”. (The Popol Vuh of the Quiché Maya).

The erosion of landforms, the dendritic patterns and oxbows of rivers, the presence of lakes and battered volcanic plugs all spoke of an ancient battle between landforming and erosional processes. Really for an intelligence smarter than an average, this was an antique planet with a brand new civilization.

Most of the planets in the Galaxy would be venerable and pretechnical, maybe even lifeless. A few world harbour civilizations much older than ours. Worlds with technical civilizations just beginning to emerge must be spectacularly rare. It was perhaps the only quality fundamentally unique about the Earth.

An Antique Planet. How ignorant we are of our own past. Papyruses, inscriptions, books time-bind the human species and permit us to hear those few voices and faint cries of our brothers and sisters, our ancestors. And what a joy of recognition when we realize how like us they were. (Megan Jorgensen). Photo by Elena

Are the worlds of more advanced civilizations totally geometrized, entirely rebuilt by their inhabitants? Or would the signature of a really advanced civilization be that they left no signal at all? Would they be able to tell in one swift glance precisely which stage we were in some great cosmic evolutionary sequence in the development of intelligent beings?

In the lifetime of the universe there has apparently not been enough time for an initial gravitational nonuniformity to collect the amount of mass that seems to reside in the Virgo supercluster, for example.

Our achievements rest on the accomplishments of 40,000 generations or our human predecessor, all but a tiny fraction of whom are nameless and forgotten. Every now and then we stumble on a major civilization, such as the ancient culture of Ebla, which flourished only a few millennia ago and about which we knew nothing.

Modern Incarnation of the Geocentric Solipsism

Modern Incarnation of the Geocentric Solipsism


The search for extraterrestrial intelligence – everywhere abbreviated SETI, except by those who talk somewhat more optimistically about communication with extraterrestrial intelligence CETI – is essentially an observing routine, the dull staple for which most of the facility had been built. But a quarter of the time you could be assured of using the most powerful array of radio telescopes on Earth for other projects. You have only to get through the boring part.

Astronomers are making extraordinary discoveries among the stars and galaxies, picking out those objects which, by whatever mechanism, generated intense radio waves. Other radio astronomers publish scientific papers, attend meetings, are uplifted by a sense of progress and purpose.

If we have accomplished so much in only a few thousand years of high technology, what must a truly advanced species be capable of? They should be able to move stars about, to reconfigure galaxies. Why haven’t we detected a radio signal by now? The answer is in. Neither in deepest space nor near the Earth has been there any sign of extraterrestrials. They do not exist.

No extraterrestrial civilizations anywhere? All those billions of worlds going to waste, lifeless, barren? Intelligent beings growing up only in this obscure corner of an incomprehensibly vast universe? Image by Megan Jorgensen (Elena)

We can ask ourselves about the Zoo Hypothesis, the contention that the extraterrestrials are out there all right but choose not to make their presence known, in order to conceal from humans the fact that there are other intelligent beings in the cosmos – in the same sense that a specialist in primate behavior might wish to observe a troop of chimpanzees in the buss but not interfere with their activities.

Is it likely that with a million civilisations in the Galaxy – the sort of is “bandied about” there would not be a single poacher? How does it come about that every civilization in the Galaxy abides by an ethic of non-interference? Is it probable that not one of them would be poking around on the Earth?

Wolf Vishniac

Wolf Vishniac


Wolf Vishniac‘s experiments were removed from the NASA Martian program. Many others in his place might have stalked off the Viking Biology Team. But Vishniac was a gentle and delicate man. He decided instead that he could best serve the search for life on Mars by voyaging to the most Mars-like environment on Earth – the dry valleys of Antarctica. Some previous investigators had examined Antarctic soil and decided that the few microbes they were able to find were not really natives of the dry valleys, but had been blown there from other, more clement environments. Recalling the Mars Jars experiments, Vishniac believed that life was tenacious and that Antarctica was perfectly consistent with microbiology. If terrestrial bugs could live on Mars, he thought, why not in Antarctica – which was by any large warmer, wetter, and had more oxygen and much less ultraviolet light. Conversely, finding life in Antarctic dry valleys would correspondingly improve, he thought, the chances of life on Mars. Vishniac believed that the experimental techniques previously used to deduce no indigenous microbes in Antarctica were flawed. The nutrients, while suitable for the comfortable environment of a university microbiology laboratory, were not designed for the arid polar wastlend.

So on Novembre 8, 1973, Vishniac, his new microbiology equipment and a geologist companion were transported by helicopter from McMurdo Station to an area near Mount Balder, a dry valley in the Asgard range. His practice was to implant the little microbiology stations in the Antarctic soil and return about a month later to retrieve them. On Decmeber 10, 1973, he left to gather samples on Mount Baldeer; his departure was photographed from about three kilometers away. It was the last time anyone saw him alive. Eighteen hours later, his body was discovered at the base of a cliff of ice. He had wandered into an area not previously explored, had apparently slipped on the ice and tumbled and bounced for a distance of 150 meters. Perhaps something had caught his eye, a likely habitat for microbes, say, or a patch of green where none should be. We will never know. In the small brown notebook he was carrying that day, the last entry reads, “Station 202 retrieved. 10 December 1973, 2230 hours. Soil temperature, – 10 degree. Air temperature – 16 degree. » It had been a typical summer temperature for Mars.

The Life is Tenacious. Photo by Elena

Many of Bisniac’s microbiology stations are still sitting in Antarctica. But the samples that were returned were examined, using his methods, by his professional colleagues and friends. A wide variety of microbes, which would have been indetectable with conventional scoring techniques, was found in essentially every site examined. A new species of yeast, apparently unique to Antarctica, as discovered in his samples by his widow, Helen Simpson Vishniac. Large rocks returned from Antarctica in the expedition, examined by Imre Friedmann, turno out to have a fascinating microbiology – one or two millimeters inside the rock, algae have colonized a tiny world in which small quantities of water are trapped and made liquid. On Mars such a place would be even more interesting, because while the visible light necessary for photosynthesis would penetrate to that depth, the germicidal ultraviolet light would be at least partially attenuated.

Because the design of space missions is finalized many years before launch, and because of Visniac’s death, the results of his Antarctic experiments did not influence the Viking design for seeking Martian life. In general, the microbiology experiments were not carried out at the low ambient Martian temperatures, and most did not provide long incubation times. The all made farily strong assumptions about what Martian metabolism had to be like. There was no wat to look for life inside the rocks.

Are There Dead Bodies on Mars?

Are There Dead Bodies on Mars?


The Martian surface exhibits many impact craters, each named after a person, usually a scientist. Crater Vishniac lies appropriately in the Antarctic region of Mars. A famous scientist Wolf Vishniac did not claim that there had to be life on Mars, merely that it was possible, and that it was extraordinary important to know if it was there. If life on Mars exists, we will have a unique opportunity to test the generality of our kind of life. And if there is no life on Mars, a planet rather like the Earth, we must understand why – because in that case, as Vishniac stressed, we have the classic scientific confrontation of the experiment and the control.

The finding that the Viking microbiology results can be explained by clays, that they need not limpy life, helps to resolve another mystery: the Viking organic chemistry experiment showed not a hint of organic matter in the Martian soil. If there is life on Mars, where are the dead bodies? No organic molecules could be found – no building blocks of proteins and nucleic acids, no simple hydrocarbons, nothing of the stuff of life on Earth.

If there is life on Mars, where are the dead bodies? Image: Pretty Elf Close-Up Sketch Drawing © Megan Jorgensen (Elena)

This in not necessarily a contradiction, because the Viking microbiology experiments are a thousand times more sensitive (per equivalent carbon atom) than the Viking chemistry experiments, and seem to detect organic matter synthesized in the Martian soil. But this does not leave much margin. Terrestrial soil is loaded with the organic remains of once –living organisms; Martian soil has less organic matter than the surface of the Moon. If we held to the life hypothesis, we might suppose that the dead bodies have been destroyed by the chemically reactive, oxidizing surface of Mars – like a germ in a bottle of hydrogen peroxide; or that there is life, but of a kind in which organic chemistry plays a less central role than it does in life on Earth.

But this last alternative seems to me to be special pleading: I am, reluctantly, a self-confessed carbon chauvinist. Carbon is abundant in the Cosmos. It makes marvellously complex molecules, good for life. I am also a water chauvinist. Water makes an ideal solvent system for organic chemistry to work in and stays liquid over a wide range of temperatures. But sometimes I wonder. Could my fondness for materials have something to do with the fact that I am made chiefly of them? Are we carbon- and water-based because those materials were abundant on the Earth at the time of the origin of life? Could life elsewhere – on Mars, say, – be built of different stuff?

Woodworking Workers CV

Woodworking Workers CV

Woodworking is the skill of making items from wood. It includes wood carving, joinery, and carpentry. Historically, woodworkers relied upon the woods native to their region, until transportation and trade innovations made more exotic woods available to the craftsman.

Woods are sorted into three basic types: hardwoods typified by tight grain and derived from broadleaf trees, softwoods from coniferous trees, and man-made materials such as plywood and MDF.

Typically furniture such as tables and chairs is made using solid stock, and cabinet/fixture makers employ the use of plywood and other man made panel products.

Positions in woodworking may also include packagers, assemblers, sanders, finishers, etc.

Skills that will help you do the job: ability to work day and evening shift, ability to work quickly. Most positions will require you to be able to lift and handle an average of 20 lbs. consistently throughout the day, and some positions require you to handle up to 50 lbs. occasionally throughout the day. Woodworking requires attention to details, noting quality defects in the wood/finish, ability to read the paperwork and follow the instructions, and basic computer knowledge.

When looking for a job in woodworking, prior experience in these types of positions will be an asset.
