I think there is no que...Very interesting Basmah. <br /><br />I think there is no question that Wickramasinghe and Hoyle have been treated unfairly in the academic circles. They should be taken more seriously than they are. At the same time, I think their claims of alien life forms, while always interesting, have never really stood up to further tests. For example, the E.Coli signature in GC-IRS7 was really intriguing. However, as far as I remember, it faltered at wavelengths farther in the infrared. In graduate school, we once had a seminar in which we looked at the works of very smart "outcasts" of astronomy, such as Hoyle, Arp, Wickramasinghe, etc. We looked at this particular paper and this is what I remember from it. <br /><br />I would love Wickramasinghe's claims of alien lifeforms to be correct! It would be so cool! But so far, the evidence is still wanting.<br /><br />Will look into the paper a bit more, and write again if something else jumps out of it.<br /><br />Hope you are doing well.Salman Hameedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04327330113822656571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-81660192150457590512011-04-08T06:48:08.075-04:002011-04-08T06:48:08.075-04:00What do you think of this paper/article?
