Comments on: Ted Bergin: ‘Space clouds contain water enough to fill oceans’ http://earthsky.org/space/space-clouds-contain-enough-water-to-fill-oceans A Clear Voice for Science Sun, 14 Mar 2010 07:49:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Rob http://earthsky.org/space/space-clouds-contain-enough-water-to-fill-oceans/comment-page-1#comment-15590 Rob Wed, 10 Feb 2010 22:00:37 +0000 http://208.96.63.114/?p=4333#comment-15590 I am very serious and consider myself educated so I know what books you are talking about, as you know which Book I am referring too. The fact is that Columbus could have known for sure that the world was round through the Bible, and the same book has many "scientific" explanations, including references to continents separating, among others. The books you are referring to didn't exist in Columbus' day, and current trend suggests the books of today will be outdated even sooner, but I don't see any new updates to the Bible coming up (just new translations) nor in the past 2000 years. Think about that for a minute. Anyway, please don't be repelled by a scientific inquiry just because it is generated based on reading controversial text. Another theory I have is that many of the famous scientists in the past were laughed at for presenting ideas that we have been able to prove true in our day.

Oh please! I sincerely hope you were joking. If so, very funny. If not, read a book.....a science book(s). Then you will truly understand the the difference between an intriguing myth and what Science, ie.Physics, will and will not allow. To Rob of 11-16-09

What if one of these clouds passed in the proximity of our solar system, might explain water on the moon as well as other surrounding planets.

Back then, the popular opinion was that water was a very scarce commodity in the universal scheme of things, and sense ALL life requires water, life outside our atmosphere was doubtful. Now we learn water is abundant in the Universe. Perhaps life is as abundant as water. Indeed, Life is Everywhere! We, as a species, are just too limited to realize this. Many think intelligence only resides between the ears, but that, too, is everywhere! Intelligent Universe Theory...

She should know...she's "very involved with space" (tranlates "spacey").. .hehe. Mebbe she missed the part about "all joking aside". Go figure. Anyway...i agree...it was most informative Hank…. i think Caroline just called you a “smart one” as in NOT!! lol. She should know…she’s “very involved with space” (tranlates “spacey”).. .hehe.

While I was joking about the ice putting the star's fires out, after your reply, I now realize there is an element of fact in it. The ice (and water) really play an important role to cool things off. It's truly an amazing universe we live in! Caroline, thank you for your answer.

That’s because hotter objects tend to resist the gravitational forces trying to gather them up into star- or planet-shaped objects. And water, or ice, helps cool this process, enabling gravity to do its work. its called the 8th paragraph smart one!! Hi Hank :] Im very involved with space so heres your answer:

All joking aside, thank you for a most interesting and informative podcast. It will be fascinating to discover another earth like planet with oceans of liquid water perhaps capable of supporting life. I hope I live long enough to hear of it but, alas, I can only dream of what it might look like. But doesn’t all that water put the star’s fires out?
