From Cleo Abram.

In 1996, the news erupted that a scientist found evidence of Martian life on a meteorite recovered in Antarctica. Years later, most scientists agree that actually… It was a false positive. This doesn’t stop the media or public from running with conspiracy theories. People are genuinely excited about the search for life beyond Earth.

In 2021, NASA created a scale as a way to help manage how scientists and journalists can talk about it and present the information to the public. The CoLD scale: Certainty of Life Detection.

This helps break down the scientific method in real time for the public, but what would that look like if it actually played out?
