Scientist find Alcohol in Space

Post by rainbow » Sun Dec 17, 2017 10:25 am

According to the study, published in the Journal of Chemical Physics, the group found both direct and indirect evidence in the ice for a number of organic molecules. Propylene, ethane and acetylene developed in films of frozen methane, while ethanol developed in irradiated frozen methane and oxygen. The team also found indirect evidence for small organic molecules like acetic acid, formaldehyde, and methanol — all of which are potential building blocks for life.

God put it there to give humans a reason to reach further into space. Not mentioning He'll have quaffed the lot before you get 1/10th the way there. :read:

I see a new hobby for retired JimC..........

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

It's gin, Jim, but not as we know it.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Juniper - Jupiter? Looks like an almost undisguised signature to me.

Not even barely true.

Not that I'd give a fig if it were, this being a bit of an internet backwater. :P
