Is there anybody out there?

Now that the “mars craft”, created by humans, has landed on the 4th planet – MARS and sampled water in the planet’s frigid and frozen soil, the question of “life elsewhere” has gained further momentum. NASA scientists said that they had definitive proof that water exists on Mars after further tests on ice found on the planet in June by the Phoenix Mars Lander. Phoenix is the latest NASA’s bid to discover whether water - a crucial ingredient for life - ever flowed on Mars and whether life, even in the form of mere microbes, exists or ever existed there. While a full story of what exactly has been achieved can be found here, to my mind however, the question of whether there is life out there is much more deeper and has profound relationship with the mother of all questions – the origin of this universe.

Sounds familiar? – I’ll explain more in my next post… watch out this space for more…
