Posts from A photograph of water on Mars has been posted on the NASA website!

And what unusual things have you seen?

The water seems to be very frozen... but they say that "Mars is a hot planet." And Mars itself seems quite small... :smile39:

And who said that it's water?
What if it's alcohol?
Or maybe it's just a dirty glass? :)

Maybe... but the key point is that it's really "on Mars" and it's really posted on the NASA website... Well done, Americans, you can't deny their sense of humor... :)

Well, they probably got tired of questions like:
"Is there water on Mars?"
and they answered: "Yes" and attached a photo as proof... :D

"Is there water on Mars?"
And they answered: "Yes" and attached a photo as proof... :D

That's not correct.
This photo is proof of a positive answer to the questions "Is there water above Mars?" or "Is there a glass on Mars?", but not to the statement above. :)

That's not correct.
This photo is proof of a positive answer to the questions "Is there water on Mars?" or "Is there a glass on Mars?", but not what you stated above. :)

Hold on... first of all, what should be considered "Mars"? The candy itself or the candy as a whole (i.e., with the wrapper)?
If "Mars" refers to the candy as a whole, then my statement is correct because the preposition "on" implies some kind of layer between "Mars" and the glass....

Therefore, we can see that there is a glass on Mars! And in the glass, there is water (or alcohol, whatever you prefer :D)! Therefore, there is water (or alcohol

Hold on a second... first of all, what should we consider as "Mars"? The candy itself or the candy in its wrapper?
If "Mars" refers to the candy in its wrapper, then my statement is correct, because the preposition "on" implies some kind of layer between the "Mars" and the glass...
Therefore, we see that there is a glass on the Mars! And in the glass, there is water (or alcohol, depending on your preference :D)! Consequently, there is water (or alcohol) on the Mars!
There you go! :D

Professor, allow me to disagree with your highly respected opinion!
Even if it's a "candy in its wrapper," there is a LAYER in the form of a glass between the "wrapper" and the water itself, as you rightly pointed out. This proves that the preposition "ON" is incorrectly used in the original question. And, therefore, the only correct preposition is "ABOVE" (or "OVER"). :)

And in the next question, colleague, regarding the fact that some people prefer water and others prefer alcohol, I completely agree with you. For example, I personally prefer "Kremliovskaya Vodка." Judging by the fact that it disappeared from sale in 1997, now it can only be found (seen) on Mars! :)

Most Honorable, allow me to disagree with your highly respected opinion!
Even if it is a "complete candy," between the "complete" part and the water itself, as you correctly noted, there is a LAYER in the form of a glass. Which proves that the use of the preposition "ON" in the source question is false. And, accordingly, the only correct preposition is "ABOVE". :)

VeryHighlyRespected colleague,
as Einstein said: "everything is relative"...
Depending on what point of observation we choose... :p
The glass includes the water.. this is evident from the preposition "in" i.e. water (or alcohol) in a glass, therefore there is no layer... since the water and the glass become inseparable from each other...
Consequently, the statement "there is water on Mars" becomes true!

With very deep respect to my VeryHighlyRespected colleague!

Just some kind of philosophical debate :D :D :D.

Very Highly Esteemed colleague,
as Einstein said: "everything is relative"...
It depends on what we choose as our point of observation... :p
A glass includes water... this is evident from the preposition "in," i.e., water (or alcohol) is in the glass, therefore it doesn't become a layer... because the water and the glass become inseparable...
Therefore, the statement "there is water on Mars" becomes true!

With very deep respect for the Very Highly Esteemed colleague!

Very Highly Esteemed colleague, from your statement

water and glass become inseparable

, we can conclude that:
1. water/alcohol has attached itself to the glass, or the glass to the water/alcohol.
2. the molecules of the glass walls have mixed with the molecules of the water/alcohol.
3. the temperature of the water/alcohol has dropped below the crystallization temperature of the liquid, and it has simply frozen to the layer between Mars and itself.
4. ... and so on.

However, it is very easily proven that this is impossible:
1. water/alcohol does not have such hooks, and the glass does not have a loop-like fabric like on your sneakers or backpack (to prove this, try to examine them in the picture).
2. if this were to happen, we would be able to see droplets of water/alcohol on the outside of the glass in the form of dew or sweat.
3. in this situation, water/alcohol cannot maintain the same purity and transparency, and frost should have formed on the outside. And in general, this concerns the question of whether there is snow on Mars. + water and alcohol have different freezing temperatures, i.e., to prove this, we would need 2 pictures, and that is very expensive (you have no idea how much it costs to take a picture from space, from a vacuum, with a Kodak-type camera).
4... As you understand, all subsequent statements are also easily refuted.

From all of the above, only one conclusion can be drawn: water/alcohol and the glass are separate from each other, and therefore the glass is a layer between "Mars as a whole" and the water/alcohol/Kremlin vodka.

However, during a smoke break, a key point was discovered, i.e., the main mistake of our Very Very Highly Esteemed colleague Ambersoler when submitting this topic to the forum with such a statement.
We have a literary translation from a certain dialect of English (African-American or Afro-English?). For these people from a distant overseas country, there is no difference between "ON" and "ABOVE," so it is possible that this picture is being interpreted as proof.
But in our language? Colleague, try to send someone "ABOVE..." and what will happen? It will turn out to be something insignificant. But if you send someone "ON..." or you are sent "ON..." then it's a completely different matter!
Colleague?

P.S. Experiments involving the use of the preposition "ON..." in relation to me are not recommended by the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation.

Dear colleagues. I think I've figured out the solution to this problem. Spacetime is not infinite, so based on the postulates of postulationism, we can assume that the condyliberity of execution went perpendicular, which means the problem lies in the fact that it's more like SPIRIT "in" a GLASS.

Now I'll launch Space Rangers 2, fly around, and find out.

Guys, they're actually producing alcohol there!!! 27 cr per game!!!

well colleague...
it's all very simple...
my assertion is very easy to prove:
i.e., we have the assertion: "the water and the glass become inseparable from each other," while noting that this assertion refers to a photograph.
Proof:
well, let's use the method mathematicians love: proof by contradiction...
let's assume the water is separable from the glass...
then if you and I flip the photograph over, the water should pour out of the glass.. upon conducting this experiment, my water remained in the glass. therefore, the assertion that the water is separable from the glass is false!
Q.E.D.

With respect to the TrulyVeryMuchHighlyRespected colleague

Added after 2 minutes

that it is more likely ALCOHOL "in" a GLASS.

unfortunately, VeryMuchRespected colleague, but this assertion requires no proof... since it is an axiom.. :D

Well, colleague...
Proof:
Let's use the mathematicians' favorite method: proof by contradiction...
Let's assume that water can be separated from the glass...
Then, if we and you turn the picture upside down, the water should pour out of the glass. When I conducted this experiment, the water remained in the glass. Therefore, the statement that water can be separated from the glass is false!
Q.E.D.

SuperDuperMegaExtraHighlyRespected colleague, you're coming from some "negative" (do you mean "Ew, go away, you're disgusting!"? That's not a term used in our highly respected scientific circles), so your proof doesn't hold up!
But, again, I can't help but agree with you on the second point. Just like you, I think it's completely pointless to prove the relationship between the observed liquid and the class of alkaloids. It's obvious! :) :) :)
And, if you bring your nose closer to the monitor, you can smell a slight aroma of alcohol vapors.

Therefore, we can conclude that there is no water on Mars after all! :)

Colleagues!!! I had a thought...
What if this is a Photoshop?!! Has anyone considered that?
Americans can create fake things!
For those who are too trusting...
