#443292 — "liquid water, lots of of it,"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2016/07/01/the-rocks-on-mars-suggest-it-used-to-look-like-earth-what-happened/




Don't these 'science guys' know how to say 

water, without adding the word liquid to it????


Don't they understand that here on earth people say..."water"?



If they want to isolate themselves
from the rest of the palnet, why don't
get on a fuckin rocket
and get the fuck out of here!?!

Let them eat liquid mars dirt!

What does "..lots of it," mean?


I'm not up to date on all the 'scientific words', so I'm not sure

what "lots of it" actually means in the world of physics.


There's "lots of it"!


Can anyone explain what "lots of it" mean????


I'm not up to date on all the 'scientific words', so I'm not sure...

Here appears to be one definition of..."lots of it"

You can imagine NASA
making a  budget request
from congress...

NASA: "We need a billion dollars to search for liquid water!"
CONGRESS: "What's liquid water?"
NASA: "Liquid water."
CONGRESS: "Is there any other kind of water?"
NASA: "Water ice."
CONGRESS: "You mean ice water, don't you?"
NASA: "No, water ice."
CONGRESS: "What's water ice?"
NASA: "Just give me the fuckin money you stupid motherfucker!!!"

so, the congress guy tells his secretary.."I want you to look up the
definition of "Water Ice".


she says, "Don't you mean 'Ice Water'? 
he seys..."No, i mean water that turns to ice,"
she sez, "Don't you mean..."Ice Cubes"??
he says, "Just look up the fuckin words you stupid fuckinbitch!!!"
then he sayes..."Also look up "Liquid Water" while you're at it!"
she sayes, "WHAT?!?"

'Liquid water' is one of three forms of water: ice, liquid and vapour.

Since the surface of Mars is too cold for liquid water in the realm from 
0° C to 100° C, the statement makes sense, since 'liquid water' 
suggests, Mars once was warmer.

But we know about water (liquid, of course) from other features of that 
  planet, too.

The Mars is predominantly red (reddish, actually more like brown). This 
seems to be sediments of iron-oxide.

Now: how got the iron distributed that fine upon the surface?

Answer: it was dissolved in water, the water disappeared and the surface 
got 'red'.

To make iron dissolve in water you could conduct the following experiment:

Connect two iron rods in a water bucket (jar or bassin etc.) to a bridge 
rectifier and that to the electric power supply.

The water would bubble, get hot and build a brown flaky substance, which 
is iron oxide, floating in water.

If the water boils away, the surface would look like the Martian surface 
does.

(btw: a similar effect is observable in inner Australia, what is also 
predominantly red).

I am minded to ask if there's any particular reason that the three states are referred to inconsistently, i. e. water vapour, liquid water and water ice. Why not 'water liquid'? 

I then realised that the Scientists all met at the Council of Nicea and decided on this in order to annoy the Starmaker, which is what their raison d'etre is. According to the Starmaker...

That actually seems like a pretty good reason to me.

Take the OP to Filthydelphia, on a hot July day, and see
if he will refuse a "water ice."

Other towns sell flavored "Italian ices," but Philly
calls them by that unique name.

I'd go with that.  But "ice water" means something else.

"Water" may be water that is not liquid, and "ice" may be 
"ice that is not water".

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_water> is atypically
uninformative.  It does say "In clinical studies, 
ice water has been used to measure +pain tolerance+".
Again I am happy for this to apply to Starmaker.

Okay...I'll ask you a simple question.


Of all the places NASA says other planets contain...liquid water, ...

is there any 'liquid water' on any planet...that you

can pour into a glass and...drink it?

Can you drink the 'liquid water' that they says exist on other planets?


Is it...drinkable?

Do you remember what W. C. Fields (never) said about water?

With water on other planets, the main difficulty is getting
it into the glass.

"I built my house from barley rice
Green pepper walls and water ice
Tables of paper wood, windows of light
And everything emptying into white."

"Cat Stevens" aka Yusuf Islam, "Into White" from
"Tea For The Tillerman"

So, not only scientists use "water ice."

He was a really good song writer before he went goofy for Allah.
Meanwhile, Richard Thompson just contimued to be brilliant after
he went Sufi. Go figure.

I take it that in "Village People" he wasn't the 
construction worker.  Or responsible for drainage.
What is he on about?

Anyway, "water ice" looks like filling out the 
line length - and I also want to comment on
"paper wood".

I am aware that paper is made from wood, and there 
are efforts to make "wood" from paper; for instance,
<http://www.killingarchitects.com/newspaper-wood-from-tree-to-paper-to-wood/>

And I have seen furniture (which might not pass fire 
regulations) made from corrugated paper board.  Although 
that would be more correctly called a card table  ;-)

Those lyrics are obscure.  I was going nuts trying to decipher
"Yellow Delaney would sleep well at night..."

It is a reference to the artist Beauford Delaney. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauford_Delaney

I just learned that, today.

Don't these 'science guys' know how to say

water, without adding the word liquid to it????


Don't they understand that here on earth people say..."water"?



If they want to isolate themselves
from the rest of the palnet, why don't
get on a fuckin rocket
and get the fuck out of here!?!

Let them eat liquid mars dirt!

third grade as noTroll ... palnet ... really ....
