Scientists stunned as Mars dust storms blast water into space
Mars may look like a frozen desert today, but new evidence suggests its watery past didn’t simply fade away quietly—it may have been blasted into space by powerful dust storms. Scientists have discovered that even relatively small, localized storms can hurl water vapor high into the atmosphere, where it breaks apart and escapes.
Today, Mars is known as a cold, dry desert, but its surface tells a very different story. Ancient channels, water-altered minerals, and other geological features show that the planet once had abundant water and a far more dynamic environment. Understanding how this wetter world transformed into the barren landscape we see now remains a major question in planetary science. While scientists have identified several processes that contributed to water loss, much of Mars’ missing water is still unaccounted for.
A new international study published in Communications: Earth & Environment brings scientists closer to solving this mystery. Researchers found that an unusually intense but localized dust storm was able to push water vapor high into Mars’ atmosphere during the Northern Hemisphere summer, a season previously thought to play little role in this process.

To progress to the next level in understanding reality, we need to combine quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. And to do that, most physicists believe we need a theory of quantum gravity… which means we need gravitons. But it also seems like the laws of physics make it impossible to ever detect this quantum particle of gravity. Almost like the universe is set up to keep the final answer forever out of our reach. So, can we outsmart the universe, catch a graviton, and finally solve physics?

We human beings sit roughly midway between the sizes of atoms and galaxies, and both must be so perfectly structured for us to exist. It’s called ‘fine-tuning’ and it’s all so breathtakingly precise that it cries out for explanation. To some, fine-tuning leads to God. To others, there are non-supernatural explanations. Both are startling.

There are a whole lot of people with “theories of everything” – theories which supposedly explain how the whole universe works. Most of the time, these theories fall very short of that goal. Causal Fermion Systems are an approach that actually seems promising… though it still has its flaws. Today I have a brief summary of what might be the most underreported theory of everything out there.

What does it Feel Like to be God? | John Polkinghorne
God is said to be all-powerful, all-knowing, all-good. But what is God’s private mental life like? Can we reach in to appreciate God as a supreme being? It may seem absurd, or arrogant, for finite human beings to strive to imagine what an infinite God is like and even what God may feel like privately and inside. But that is what we do.
John Charlton Polkinghorne KBE FRS was an English theoretical physicist, theologian, and Anglican priest.
