blog.wired.com — The red planet was once awash in water, say scientists -- not hot, boiling water, but benign seas that may have been suitable for life. "There was apparently pervasive water present during the first 600 to 700 million years," said Brown University geologist John Mustard, co-author of a paper scheduled to be published today in Nature.

Considering Mars' distance from the Sun, I would be more impressed by hot, boiling oceans.

Eventually yes. The earth has liquid water because of its atmosphere, relative warmth and because the earth's magnetic field shields the atmosphere and us from lethal and corrosive solar radiation.However, when the earth cools below a threshold, as it has been cooling since its creation, our protective magnetic field will decay and the atmosphere be blasted away by solar radiation wind. Water not frozen beneath the surface (as on Mars today) will escape into space.That is what happened to liquid water on Mars at least half a billion years ago when that much smaller planet much farther from the sun than us cooled to the point its magnetic field could no longer protect its atmosphere. When its atmosphere went so did liquid water and so will ours, with our being closer to the sun accelerating the process.

Thanks, you are indeed right, I was only making a joke.Time acceleration Lab? is that a lab that is running on a computer? or is it highly heated? or is it magic? you mind filling me in?

Nice, too bad you don't know me, though I see ignorance suits you well.
