Are you posting from a lunar base? From Venus? :-) Oh! no you are right it is only for females that space outposts has those effects. Alain Fournier |

Jeff There is no known chemical process that could generate phosphine. There is also no known chemical process that could generate life. So why do you assume that life was generated from non life but phosphine was not generated by non life. Generating phosphine from an unknown process seems much easier to do than to generate life from an unknown process. Alain Fournier |

Jeff There is no known chemical process that could generate phosphine. I've seen one paper that claims simulated lightning can provide a natural non-life cause for phosphine gas generation: https://epic.awi.de/id/eprint/11998/1/Gli2004a.pdf But the results of the Venus study claim that the amounts of phosphine detected in the Venusian atmosphere far exceeds the amounts that could be produced this way. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-020-1174-4 This plus source data from two different observational mechanisms is what makes all this very intriguing.

As any scuba diver knows, the human body can live at great depths where pressures are many times that of sea level. Where there is a danger is changing depths and the mixture of gases you need to breathe. (below certain depth, too much O2 will kill you). So the hot women of Venus can live at great pressures and stay there. But they would have a hard time moving to and perhaps surviving in what we consider normal pressure. In terms of heat, we do call the venusian women hot for a reason :-) Did some checking: Pressure at surface 93 bars. At that pressure water boils at 305.6°C, but surface temperature is listed as 467°. But if there is a region of Venus that has tempoeratures never exceed 305°, then theoretically a water based life form could exist. The very thick greenhouse gas atmosphere means that surface temperature will be spread quite evenly throughout the planet. That same phenomenon explains why global warming here on Earth is increasing temperatures in polar regions much faster than in equatorial regions, the temperatures are equalizing a little bit. So you will not find a region of Venus with temperatures of 305 °C. Alain Fournier |

Alain Fournier Hi Alain, while not disagreeing with your statement about surface temperature, there are regions in the Venusian atmosphere where temperature varies, particularly with height. At a height of 20 km, the temperature would be around 305 with a pressure of about 22.5 bar. However, I will point out that water at those temperatures and pressures certainly does not behave like the water we all know and love. At such conditions water becomes a very highly oxidizing substance. With all due respect to the Horta of Star Trek, any life form using water at such conditions will be quite different from what we now know. Dean |
