My predicition

[Anomalocaris]

I predict any life found to share heywood's lineage would exterminate itself in ambarassement.

I predict Chuckie won't be ambarrassed when he realizes he misspelled embarrassed. Chuckie has no shame.

So predicts he who titled his thread "my predicition".

It was?!

Yes in 1976, by evidence transmitted from Viking I. All the agreed upon conditions for life to be confirmed to exist on Mars were met. Then top scientists for NASA changed their minds, thereby creating impossible conditions (i.e. "we already agreed what would constitute significant evidence for finding life on Mars, and that evidence was found, but now we think that evidence is insufficient").

Gilbert Levin, who designed the experiment specific to this, was furious. At the 10th anniversary Viking probes party he is said to have stood up and given a speech outlining all the possible reasons why the experiment could have returned a false positive, and then went about proving that none of them could have contaminated his results. He was not invited to future events.

Don't take my word for it though, listen to the man himself:

Nothing can really be considered "discovered" if majority professional opinion still thinks what was discovered is not what the self styled discoverer think he had discovered. If one day the discoverer prevails upon the majority professional opinion that what he discovered is what he thinks he discovered, we can back date the date of discovery. Until then it is not even clear any discovery had even been made.
