Could Mars Have Intra-planetary Life?

Matti Pitkanen

Abstract


A popular article in National Geographic tells about unexpected findings made by the first robotic geophysicist, the Insight lander revealed in the European Planetary Science Congress and in the American Astronomical Society. There are odd magnetic pulsations with frequency around 10 mHz occurring at Martian night-time: for Earth these pulsations occur in frequency range 1 mHz to 1 Hz. Mars has much stronger magnetic field as expected. The magnetic field was detected at heights 96-400 km. Besides this there is evidence for the existence for a global electrically conductive layer about 6 km below the surface, which suggest an underground reservoir of water. This has enormous implications for potential existence of life in Mars. There is also earlier evidence for the existence of salty, liquid water measuring about 19 km across. In this article I discuss the findings from TGD point of view.
