Mars’s enigmatic surface features get a second look from a theoretical physicist
Reality Check host Ross Coulthart and theoretical physicist Maaneli Derakhshani scrutinize puzzling Mars surface features—the 'face' and nearby geometric formations—using fractal analysis to test whether they’re natural or engineered, while referencing lunar anomalies and Phobos 2’s monolith and Carl Sagan’s life-detection standards. The takeaway is that several patterns remain open questions that merit further study, not conclusions.
