Have you ever realized that the older you get the faster time seems to move? Like a year when you were 5 was such a long time and now a year blows past you like wind traveling from one part of the street. So much for metaphor that I included the main topic in it TRAVELING.
Now how does traveling connect with all this stuff? Well, our brain likes to do new things and when we were 5 we really didn’t know much stuff hence our brain registered it as a longer time but as you grow up your routine starts to get very similar hence your brain takes it as a shorter period of time. Now in travelling you do many sorts of things which make you have new experiences and learn new things which breaks up your daily routine hence your brain registers it as a longer period of time.
If you have ever by mistake taken the world map of highly civilized civilizations and the world map of natural landforms you would notice a pattern that wherever you see a hot desert you would see a highly civilized human population. An example of this would be Egyptian civilization or the Indus Valley civilization. Now you would say that these are just coincidences. Then an example to prove you wrong is Chicago and Texas which are undergoing desertification and are also the 2 most populated states of The United States of America. Now how does it work well it works in 3 steps which are:-
1) the humans colonize a bit
2) they become greedy and try to colonize even more (which they do)
3) they forget about nature and become even more greedy, destroying the nature around them to become even more civilized. (which they again become)
4) after a lot of the last step they are not able to find natural resources like water and go extinct.
According to me when we become extinct the entire earth would turn into a desert.
Have you ever realized how Mars, the planet just after Earth, has water and ice deposits and Venus, the planet before us, has a huge amount of carbon dioxide? Ice and water deposits are important requirements for life and carbon dioxide is a major sign of past life as it is secreted by life and also put out by advanced machinery and chemical reactions.
This can mean that life shifted from an unknown planet to Mercury and from there to Venus and from there to Earth. Either the same human beings or the old life forms got extinct and life restarted from nothing.
Let’s focus on the other possibility – Mars having water and ice deposits. Now how can something like this take place? The most probable reason is that nuclear fusion takes place in our sun which converts hydrogen into helium increasing the sun’s volume gradually which can lead to destruction of planets, extinctions of species and most importantly shifting of the heat layer which has the right temperature for life which is just a bit higher than the temperature required to convert hydrogen and oxygen into water due to which Mars has water and ice deposits as it currently is in that temperature zone and that is how water is present on earth.
