SHRIMP-LIKE CREATURE FOUND IN ANTARCTIC ICE

LYSSIANASID AMPHIPOD: ANTARCTIC SHRIMP-LIKE
CREATURE DISCOVERED IN ANTARCTICA BY NASA

WASHINGTON (EFE) - In a surprising discovery about where higher life can thrive, scientists found a shrimp like creature and a jellyfish frolicking beneath an Antarctic ice sheet. A research team from NASA was shocked to discover a shrimp-like creature 600 feet deep in an Antarctic ice sheet where no light penetrates and where only simple microbes were believed to have been able to live. That’s why a NASA team was surprised when it lowered a video camera to get the first long look at the underbelly of the ice sheet in Antarctica, and a 3-inch shrimp-like creature went swimming by and then parked itself on the camera’s cable. Scientists also pulled up a tentacle they believe came from a foot-long jellyfish. “We were operating on the presumption that nothing’s there,” said NASA scientist Robert Bindschadler. “It's pretty amazing when you find a huge puzzle like that on a planet where we thought we know everything,” said biologist Stacy Kim of the Moss Landing Marine Laboratories in California, who co-authored the study. The discovery excited the scientists because it may mean that if creatures can really live in such harsh conditions then there is a possibility of life forms in space bodies that share the same set-up. The video is likely to inspire scientists to rethink what they know about life in harsh environments. And it has them wondering whether life exists in other hostile places on earth and in places like “Europa”, a frozen moon of Jupiter. Here’s the video provided by NASA of the shrimp-like creature:

Scientists have not found answers to fundamental questions about the universe and life forms. At different times their findings are accepted as factual descriptions of reality, but after a while they change their imperfect theories because the scientists themselves make mistakes.

WHAT DO THE VEDIC TEACHINGS TELL US?

In the beginning of the 19th Century it was believed that atoms could not be divided, ... Newtonian Mechanics was accepted as the proper scientific explanation of reality until it was discovered in the 20th Century that it failed to describe the motion of these fundamental particles. ... Because General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics appear to contradict each other, Quantum Field Theory was developed. ... the various evolving theories of the scientists are constantly changing as they scramble to adjust these theories, all of which are filled with speculation.
