you know
usually israel tends to get lots of bad press some justified, but a considerable amount of it less then so and yet any attempt to point out that there is a very large bias against israel in international press tends to get waved off as nonsense but every once in a while, you get a gem like this one incidentally, this paper is the largest daily newspaper in Nordic countries Quote:

It just happens that there are countries who kill non-combatant civilians for their organs, while others go for their valuables such as oil pumping. I know why you are angry as that it appears many people seem to have an anti-Semistic tendency but it is also caused by the frequent military conflicts between Israel and the Palestinians. The fact that the Palestinians are fighting all by themselves, overwhelmed by advanced technology and heavy artillery whereas Israel is backed by both China and the United States along with many other nations caused that "tendency" to increased more than usual. Of course, I cannot say whether the IDF truly killed non-combatant civilians for their organs or not as that I have never been to the location of chaos and neither have I witnessed such actions myself. However, you cannot dismiss the fact that the appearance of smoke is usually caused by that of fire. Of course, it could also be people tossing smoke bombs but who knows.. |

If I am not wrong, it is due to the RCH in the NH2-RCH-COOH configuration which defines the amino acid that makes such a sequence possible due to condensation reaction (often done in the presence of sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid or aluminium oxide). I suspect it to be the comet heating up when travelling at high speeds when coming close to atmospheres, as aluminium oxide is common on comets, thus culminating in the reaction of peptide bonds and giving birth to protein chains. Besides Glycine has got a simple structure, so I supposed it is probably made from the ice (hydrogen and oxygen) and dust (carbon). Nitrogen is a very abundant element, so it probably got stuck onto the comet from somewhere. In short, the glycine found could just be part of a chance reaction that occured on random. Can someone good in statistics calculate the chance of forming such an organic substance taking into account Le Chatelier's Principle? P.S I failed Chemistry when taking my 'A's. PLEASE doublecheck and inform me if there are any mistakes because I am explaining everything from my rusting memory.

However.. If the secrets are to be revealed, there is no doubt that it will come out as a shock and the approval rate of the opposition party after August 30th will drop more than it already did. |

Amino acids make up proteins, but not genetic material as we know it. The fact that it's been found outside of Earth is exciting for two reasons. First, with regard to us, it shows that life as we know it may not have formed purely with what was available on the Earth itself, but perhaps with a boost from something that developed somewhere else in space. Second, if amino acids were generated somewhere other than Earth, it indicates that life may exist elsewhere in the universe.
