Lets take a step back. What is this life on earth all about.

Well people talk of cycle of life. Each living thing depends on another to survive.

We have carnivors eating herbivores so cleqarly herbivores are here to be eaten.

Of course we also have carnivores that eat other carnivoves and even sometimes some herbivores have been spotted eating meat too.

Even in the plant world there are plants that depend on other plants to survive.

Here is a true fact about Bee, orchids and Brazil nut.

To understand how the orchids are involved it is important to know that the brazil nut is actually a seed, found within the large, dense fruit of the brazil nut tree (Bertholettia excelsa), high in the forest canopy. To produce fruit the flower of the tree must be pollinated and, although a wide variety of butterflies, moths, bees and birds have been seen visiting the flowers, only a small number of bee species are thought to be capable of the heavy lifting that is involved in pollinating the flower. These pollinators are known as orchid bees as they rely on certain species of orchid for their survival.
Orchid bees have complicated relationships with orchids that they visit, which in this case are a few species of wild Stanhopea and Catasetum. The male orchid bee has been romantically described as living a “vagabond life”; travelling the forest in search of a female bee and visiting orchid flowers to stock up on essential supplies of scent chemicals that he needs to seduce her. The female bee is very selective when it comes to the scent she will be attracted by, meaning that males will collect chemicals from only one or two species of orchid, pollinating them as he goes. Without the orchids, the bees would not be able to find a mate; without the bees, neither the orchids nor the brazil nut tree would be pollinated and brazil nuts would be no more.

Is this not a good life fact.

Nest we shall look at Bees and Humans. What would happen if all the bees were to go extinct?

This is how little media understands evolution. According to them, elephants have evolved to be taskless because of poaching. This is simply not true because there were taskless elephants in the middle of the forests of Africa and India long before poaching had any effect on them. On a second point if poachers are killing elephants with tasks then taskless onse survive much longer and they breed. So in effect just like man managed to breed 1000 different types of dog through selective breeding, they are doing something similar with the elphent in an incidental way.

Evolution by itself takes place over a longer period than the timesacale poaching. As the forests are being cut down, the taskless elephants not only will dwindle but may well go extinct in time.

How is that for evolution. An Octapus that can walk on land.

...water, in space; and it took about twenty years to get there.



...the cassini mission, interestingly is women run.

RW The fact that there was water in ice form in space has been know and seen for a very long time. The same goes for ice on some of the planest in our solar system. Naturally you could not prove that water was under the ice but it is perfectly natural for a planet to rellease heat from within and hence water under the ice idea was not really surprise.

If they knew they were going to dump it on another planet that has water, you would think they may have included on the craft some living organisms to see if it takes off there too. I suspect not though they just dumped their junk there.

...water in a liquid form is a big thing; what makes this planet special?

[Lordo]

This is the whole point RW. Jupiter has 67 moons and far enough from the Sun that they are mostly covered in ice. However the effect of Jupiter is such that heat is generated from the core of the moons so the fact that they may have water below the ice is beyond doubt, just not proven till some swine gets there and drill a well on one of them, or they design a machine that sees through the ice. It may even be that their core is molten like the Earth.
