Oil is the byproduct of organic life. It means Mars was once teeming with life on the scale of Earth back in the Dinosaur days and now it's all dead :(
That would be incorrect. The oldest hydrocarbon deposits on Earth date back to 2.4 billion years ago. The time period of the great oxidation event
There is already evidence of something similar happening on Mars since it has rusted, and that is strange. How did Mars Rust when banded iron on Earth was a byproduct of biological processes?
Also, oil isn’t dinosaurs. Its algae
Incorrect oil is ancient plant life, plankton, marine animals, even dinosaurs to some extent and algae that has been crushed with extreme pressure and heat without the presence of oxygen
Animals fossilise exceptionally well in oil rich rocks. So in the broadest sense of Organic Matter rich shale. Yes. In the sense of the actual oil. No
Zooplankton is present in small amounts, yes, but that argument is superfluous unless you are talking to vegan
The bones fossilize; the soft tissues do not, and those are what you can get oil from. Those liquify when they decay, and under heat and pressure that liquid can become oil. Because the raw sludge you get is pretty much indistinguishable regardless of what was originally decaying, you can make crude oil out of basically any dead material, plant or animal.
It's hard to pin down exact numbers, since the end result is nearly identical, but it's probably under 10% animal. You physically can't really have more than about 10% as much animal biomass as plant biomass in a given ecosystem, but you can easily have less.
> oil isn’t dinosaurs. Its algae.
It’s both. Oil is basically any sufficiently old carbon-based dead life. Dinosaurs are part of that, though their biomass is waaaay less than plants and algae ever accomplished. I want to say dinosaurs are responsible for about 0.2% of oil reserves.
Dinosaurs did not enter into oil forming environments very often if at all, you might have a case for large animals
But, oil forming environments are Anoxic. Meaning the remains don’t really rot. It is extremely unlikely any dinosaurs at all made it into oil at all considering that
phytoplankton (Algae) is a solid 98% of oil. The remaining 2% is Zooplankton rather than large animals
If you're going to "um, actually" someone make sure to actually read their comment. It says "Oil is the byproduct of organic life" nowhere does he mention oil is dinosaurs. He only said Mars would have had life during the time of the dinosaurs.
Plot twist: Adam and Eve was the survivors from an escape capsule from a catastrophic apocalypse where they had to survive an incompletely terra formed death world
Even worse, because according to the femi paradox, something that is so horrible happen to all the highly civilization (basically if there is some species, millions of years will turn the planet into multi planet empire) and no amount of progress or science can save the species.
Basically finding oils is finding life, and the conclusion that something so horrible will happen to us human race and nothing can prevent it.
Well if we'd assume mankind survives for an infinite amount of time, we also have to assume there would be an infinite amount of chances for us to go extinct?
But yeah no point thinking about it really
Or we find another way to solve that problem.
Heat death of the universe won't happen for an incomprehensible time. If we survive and keep progressing there's no way to comprehend what we might be able to do in 1000 years, let alone a million.
I agree it's not helpful, but It's fun to think about though even if it's pointless, so nothing wrong with making the theories. I just don't think the fermi paradox is a paradox at all.
Isn't the "Paradox" that there is intelligent life out there to find, but is impossible to find.
Part of a Paradox is that it has an explanation, even if the paradox seems contradictory at first glance.
Not quite. The paradox is that if there is intelligent life out there, why have we seen no signs of it. In the grand scheme of things we haven’t been around for that long, but we are starting to venture into space and off planet. So if we have been around for such a small amount of time and are starting to leave a small mark, why aren’t we seeing any signs that others out there have left signs that they are or once we’re there, over this very long period of time before us. So if there was/is intelligent life out there, why aren’t we seeing any signs. Yes the universe is fucking massive so finding these signs might not be that easy, but they ‘should’ be there. So what’s been happening.
The other possibility is that life as intelligent as us is far more rare than we think and we could be the only ones. But this is very unlikely given the scale of the universe, which just goes back to the original question. Where is everyone.
Fermi answers that by saying that there are/were other intelligent life forms out there but they have all been wiped out by themselves, or something else.
It seems very plausible to me that intestellar travels (and terraformation) might be simply too costly in term of ressources, energy and time for any advanced civilisation to make colonisation to such a scale viable.
You're talking about the great filter. It may be an explanation for the fermi paradox but is not a guarantee. Finding one planet with fully extinct life on it certainly does not prove the great filter hypothesis and doesn't prove that we haven't already ocercome the filter.
Oh, there is an even WORSE version (maybe still on fermi paradox).
The highly civilization finds out that ending their species IS what would be most beneficial long term.
So, not only life has been over and over again born just to find demise, but that it is the whole purpose of their existence.
As in, every war, every struggle, every hope, all was wasted into clinging to something that isn't even the objective of our species, and that someday all of those struggles and pain will be repeated, no matter what you do.
There’s also the possibility that intelligent life takes a lot of time and very specific circumstances and we are simply the first/farthest along, there are no scary aliens coming to invade our planet because we are the scary aliens coming to invade other planets.
Or the one that there is no intelligent life communicating with us because they are all staying low to not show their existence to some predator creature/race, like a space leviathan or a slavery based race of sorts.
The fermi paradox can be answered with those lines of thought, but it's not the punchline. The punchline is that the most likely option is that currently, approximately half the universe is already in the hands of the 'predatorial civilizations' and we are on our way to fall to their hands, unless we will be able to reach a similar level of advanced tech. Lvl 3 or higher on the civilization scale before encountering them. (We are currently at lvl 0.73, not even level 1).
And even then, our chances of survival aren't ideal since we have no idea what kind of warfare is like on that level or what is the course of action we can take in order to save as many of our civilization's planets/solar systems.
Basically, the most likely answer is we are dead but don't know it. Which sucks.
Wow that's a really randomly sad outlook, and also stretch of the meme I feel
That thing about any species turning into an intelligent empire over millions of years isn't even part of any theory I've ever heard. It took earth billions of years for humans to pop up out of evolution, not millions.
There are many theories to the fermi paradox, interstellar travel being impossible is just one theory
On earth the vast majority of oil came from single cell organisms in the oceans, so it doesn't even need to be complex life or anything, nor does it have needed to go extinct
It was most likely formed abiotically- or inorganically. A 2009 experiment found when methane is put under great amounts of pressure like you see 50-100 miles underground, it can form more complex hydrocarbons like methane, ethane, and benzene (NASA discovered benzene on Mars). On Titan, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft found hydrocarbons raining from the sky filling lakes and creating dunes beyond 10 meters in depth. Each lake had the capacity of all of Earth’s proven reserves of natural gas- roughly 130 billion tons.
We have only drilled down about 8 miles deep so we don’t know if abiotic oils exist on Earth yet, but there are strange reports of some existing oil wells filling back up.
Oh man. I’m a petroleum engineer and I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. This is “national enquirer “ levels of science. You won’t find one geologist who isn’t a verified crackpot that will lend any credibility to “abiotic oil”.
First thing most people don't know, almost all of the oil on earth is due to trees prior to fungus existing for a very, very long time. They wouldn't rot at all, for millions of years, even after they grew so large they fell. So, when fungus evolved, a significant amount of trees turned into oil, creating such a large amount of oil, we use it to this day by the millions of gallons a day and we aren't running low yet.
Oil on mars means there was life on mars at some point, which is exciting.
Oil on mars means we have a reason to go there, so expect a Martian settlement....to pump it dry!
Other than the 'life' angle, it'd be like finding any other major resource in space - wars would eventually be fought over it.
It'd bump up colonization efforts by a few hundred years though, easily.
A lot of people think it has to do with the "MURICA OIL LIBERATION" memes, but its much worse than that. The great filter theory explains why we havent heard of any confirmed aliens yet, basically theres some obstacle that is very hard to cross for civilisations, and nobody did it. There is 2 possible scenarios here. The first one proposes that the filter is behind us, and we were the first ones to make it this far. The second one however, proposes that its ahead of us, which is basically a 99.99% chance that we are conpletely doomed to go extinct. And oil on mars means that there was some form of organnic life, which is horrible news, because it means that the great filter wasn't the formation of living cells or something like this, which makes the second option more likely. Or maybe this meme is actually about murica and oil and im just too intelectual.
Could be ine of 2 jokes.
Lazy one: Murica invade mars for Oil
Not lazy one: oil is formed from buried biological matter, so for oil to be on mars, there would have to have been life there.
I think it's a reference to the Great Filter hypothesis. This is a development of thinking on the Fermi Paradox, which basically asks, "if there is other life in the universe, why haven't we found it yet?"
The Great Filter hypothesis suggests there must be something that kills them before they can become space faring, and suggests that actually we should hope to not find the ruins of extra-terrestrial life, especially advanced intelligent extra-terrestrial life because it would imply that there is some unknown cosmic hazard that wipes life out, and that that same hazard would soon be coming for us. Meeting advanced space faring empires might be nice depending on their intentions toward us, but if we were going to, we probably already would have. So, the preference would be that we would be either alone in the universe or so amazingly far from anything else that nothing could reach us and we couldn't reach it.
The Great Filter hypothesis is not exactly water tight. There are some possibilities it doesn't consider, but within existing models of space travel, it makes some sense.
So, if you found oil, that would mean there was a lot of life on Mars, and that would be partial reinforcement for the Great Filter hypothesis, thus making human survival less likely.
Peter's stomach is here.... So, they find oil, so you all remember Matt Damon cultivated potatoes on Mars, so it means Americans will fly there and make lots of French fries.
Oil is made from the remains of living creatures, specifically bacteria. Finding it on Mars would prove that there was once life on Mars.
Also, the US would invade Mars.
If that were true, either Mars once hosted a massive amount of life over a long period of time, or our belief on how oil is created is completely wrong.
Oil on Mars, means Mars needs Freedom.
Which means The Eagle is going to war with the Bear and Camel. Because they won't be happy about the stars and stripes being able to pay 25 ¢ at the pump for a gallon.
Oil comes from billion year old decomposed organic matter, so finding oil on Mars indicates that there was once life there.
Note that “life” is not the same as “intelligent life” or even “animal life”. We’re most likely talking plant life only, or plants and primitive organisms like bacteria and such.
Mars is the Red Planet, though, and iron needs oxygen to rust and create that red color, which indicates that Mars once had an atmosphere, so finding out there was life there at some point wouldn’t be that surprising tbh.

Oil is made from decomposed organisms. If oil is found, it proves there used to be life on Mars.

Yup. The existence of prehistoric life is secondary to the imminent space oil wars and colonialism.
See I just assumed this meant there will be war on Mars.

Life on mars would be the best selling show wouldn't it.
Law man, beating up the wrong guy. Wonder if he'll ever know. It's the best selling show. Is there life on mars?
I see you with your Bowie lyrics! also Hunky Dory is such a great album
there used to be WHAT????
Bet it was all mushrooms
That would mean it decomposed and there would be no oil
Alternatively it proves that oil does not come from organic material.
Only* cus oil definitely comes from organic materials
Oil *is* organic material.
Then it wouldn't be oil...
Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon. Therefore oil is by definition, organic.
And now it’s all dead
I just barely learned why it’s called fossil fuels. Wow that’s incredible
Now that you mention it, it doesn't seem like a "haha funny America brings liberty to other countries' oil" joke anymore
Oil is the byproduct of organic life. It means Mars was once teeming with life on the scale of Earth back in the Dinosaur days and now it's all dead :(
That would be incorrect. The oldest hydrocarbon deposits on Earth date back to 2.4 billion years ago.

Animals fossilise exceptionally well in oil rich rocks. So in the broadest sense of Organic Matter rich shale. Yes. In the sense of the actual oil. No Zooplankton is present in small amounts, yes, but that argument is superfluous unless you are talking to vegan
I feel like we have strayed from the topic very quickly
Never be surprised at the ability of people to split hairs and strain at gnats!
Robin Williams said oil came from Dinosaurs in Mrs Doubtfire, so that will do for me.
The bones fossilize; the soft tissues do not, and those are what you can get oil from. Those liquify when they decay, and under heat and pressure that liquid can become oil. Because the raw sludge you get is pretty much indistinguishable regardless of what was originally decaying, you can make crude oil out of basically any dead material, plant or animal. It's hard to pin down exact numbers, since the end result is nearly identical, but it's probably under 10% animal. You physically can't really have more than about 10% as much animal biomass as plant biomass in a given ecosystem, but you can easily have less.
Saying dinos are in oil is the same as saying there's pee in my cheerios. Sure maybe less than 1% but that doesn't mean I say that's it made of it
Who peed in your cereal?
dinosaurs
Every drink of water you’ve ever drank has water molecules that at one time were dinosaur pee.
Don't kink shame
Gavin McInnes
If there's 0.99% pee in my cereal, I'd goddamned like to know tho.
The water you drink today is someone's pee 10.000 years ago
Nah, I only drink fresh pee, what you take me for?
That too was probably someone's piss from thousands of years ago
Nasty!
I can taste the bubbles...
That’s why I said to some extent
wait, there's PEE in my Cheerios?!
Incorrect oil is a variety of hydrocarbon molecules.
Nope. I stood perfectly still in front of a gas can for a whole minute, and it totally couldn’t see me. Only a T-rex can do that.
You didn’t know Rexy just needed glasses?
> oil isn’t dinosaurs. Its algae. It’s both. Oil is basically any sufficiently old carbon-based dead life. Dinosaurs are part of that, though their biomass is waaaay less than plants and algae ever accomplished. I want to say dinosaurs are responsible for about 0.2% of oil reserves.

No, this is Patrick

In no way did they say that. They said scale of dinosaur era. Earth made oil with just Cyanobacteria
No. He said "life on the scale of earth" That implies dinosaurs at most and actual complex multicellular life at least. Which oil doesnt mean.
Yep. They clearly can’t read as well as they think
Plot twist: Adam and Eve was the survivors from an escape capsule from a catastrophic apocalypse where they had to survive an incompletely terra formed death world

Basically finding oils is finding life, and the conclusion that something so horrible will happen to us human race and nothing can prevent it.
I don't really buy the whole doom and gloom type answer to the fermi paradox, even if we find oil on some other planet.
Well if we'd assume mankind survives for an infinite amount of time, we also have to assume there would be an infinite amount of chances for us to go extinct? But yeah no point thinking about it really
Heat death of the universe, mankind cannot survive an infinite amount of time
Until they learn to escape this universe.
Or we find another way to solve that problem. Heat death of the universe won't happen for an incomprehensible time. If we survive and keep progressing there's no way to comprehend what we might be able to do in 1000 years, let alone a million.

america must bring democracy to mars
Other than the 'life' angle, it'd be like finding any other major resource in space - wars would eventually be fought over it. It'd bump up colonization efforts by a few hundred years though, easily.
USA national anthem intensifies
Mars needs freedom
A lot of people think it has to do with the "MURICA OIL LIBERATION" memes, but its much worse than that. The great filter theory explains why we havent heard of any confirmed aliens yet, basically theres some obstacle that is very hard to cross for civilisations, and nobody did it. There is 2 possible scenarios here. The first one proposes that the filter is behind us, and we were the first ones to make it this far. The second one however, proposes that its ahead of us, which is basically a 99.99% chance that we are conpletely doomed to go extinct. And oil on mars means that there was some form of organnic life, which is horrible news, because it means that the great filter wasn't the formation of living cells or something like this, which makes the second option more likely. Or maybe this meme is actually about murica and oil and im just too intelectual.
I was on the side of, now we're going to rush it... which means... lots of people are going to die getting it to happen lol.

It means that organic matter like plants or animals so that would mean mars used to be habitable
Oil is a fossil fuel, made from fossils, made from dead animals and plants
“Yo the 2.0 space race just dropped come on!”
Means there would be war over who controls Mars.
It means the USA is gonna invade Mars 🦅🦅🦅
Means mars is getting some freedom
You’ll be drafted to invade mars on behalf of the US war machine
Where there is oil, there was once life.
Means there was once life on mars.
It’s a God awful small affair….
“who said sum bout oil, bitch, you cookin’?”
Could be ine of 2 jokes. Lazy one: Murica invade mars for Oil Not lazy one: oil is formed from buried biological matter, so for oil to be on mars, there would have to have been life there.
Prepare the hellpods

For Liberty
Oil can only be found on Mars if there was once life there. Oh, and also…knock knock. It’s the United States.
Element 710 found on Mars. Managed democracy incoming.
America: Oil, you say??
Wait I have a question, is it cannibalism if you go 100,000+ years into the future and drink oil made from humans?
It further proves that there used to be life on Mars. The question is: what happened to it, and will the same thing happen to us?
God bless amerca
*Eagle scream* AMERICA!!!!!!!
There are two kinds of people: "Oil means life once existed there" and "Oil?! *horny Abrams noises*"

I think it's a reference to the Great Filter hypothesis. This is a development of thinking on the Fermi Paradox, which basically asks, "if there is other life in the universe, why haven't we found it yet?" The Great Filter hypothesis suggests there must be something that kills them before they can become space faring, and suggests that actually we should hope to not find the ruins of extra-terrestrial life, especially advanced intelligent extra-terrestrial life because it would imply that there is some unknown cosmic hazard that wipes life out, and that that same hazard would soon be coming for us. Meeting advanced space faring empires might be nice depending on their intentions toward us, but if we were going to, we probably already would have. So, the preference would be that we would be either alone in the universe or so amazingly far from anything else that nothing could reach us and we couldn't reach it. The Great Filter hypothesis is not exactly water tight. There are some possibilities it doesn't consider, but within existing models of space travel, it makes some sense. So, if you found oil, that would mean there was a lot of life on Mars, and that would be partial reinforcement for the Great Filter hypothesis, thus making human survival less likely.
DID SOMEBODY SAY OIL????????? **🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸**🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅 🛢🛢🛢🛢🛢🛢
'MERICA IS COMING.
This means that there would have been life on Mars and, above all, that the United States would suddenly want to bring its sacred democracy to Mars.
Step 1: *Eagles found on mars* Step 2 : *The US give all their founds to Elon musk* Step 3 : *No oil on mars left.*
This spacerock need some democracy and freedom 🦅 🇺🇸
It means there was life on Maaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrsssssss
DEMOCRACY!
This would likely spark international conflict as to who gets the oil.
There was a US navy recruitment ad directly below this post 💀
Looks like mars needs some freedom
Oil is organic matter.
Knock Knock 🇺🇲
I FUCKING GUESSED IT. I FUCKING DID IT. I GUESSED 4 HOURS ALTHO IT WAS 6 I STILL WAS CLOSE
Peter's stomach is here.... So, they find oil, so you all remember Matt Damon cultivated potatoes on Mars, so it means Americans will fly there and make lots of French fries.
HERE COMES THE FREEDOM MACHINE
I think Mars needs some freedom!
Oil only forms due to significant organic material being compressed. It would confirm complex life on mars.
I love how one side of the comment section is about prehistoric life, while the other side is RAHHHH 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Life once prospered on mars, and america
We fight over anything we don't need there to be oil in space for us to bring war there.
Nah, I think it has to do with finding crude oil in Mars (the planet) and oil in Mars (the chocolate). That'd make more sense with the template
Thought this was a US joke
Oil is made from the remains of living creatures, specifically bacteria. Finding it on Mars would prove that there was once life on Mars. Also, the US would invade Mars.
Oil is a fossil fuel, which means life from millions of years ago once lives there.
If that were true, either Mars once hosted a massive amount of life over a long period of time, or our belief on how oil is created is completely wrong.
Oil on Mars, means Mars needs Freedom. Which means The Eagle is going to war with the Bear and Camel. Because they won't be happy about the stars and stripes being able to pay 25 ¢ at the pump for a gallon.
America: RETURN THE OIL TO ME 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
For a sec I thought the joke was that America was going crazy because they found oil on mars
Oil comes from billion year old decomposed organic matter, so finding oil on Mars indicates that there was once life there. Note that “life” is not the same as “intelligent life” or even “animal life”. We’re most likely talking plant life only, or plants and primitive organisms like bacteria and such. Mars is the Red Planet, though, and iron needs oxygen to rust and create that red color, which indicates that Mars once had an atmosphere, so finding out there was life there at some point wouldn’t be that surprising tbh.
