    Proxima b is more dead than Mars. It would have tidally locked to its star long ago and it has no way to maintain a magnetic field beyond sharing one from its host star. Simulations show that life could perhaps thrive on _young_ worlds around red dwarf stars. Proxima b is _old._ If life still lives there, it must be more extreme extremophiles than any we've seen on Earth.

      There is also the Pre Main Sequence problem with red dwarves.
      Long story short, they are hotter when they are forming and cool dpwn when fusion starts. So the habitable zone is wider intially a d wod boil away the oceans on any planets in what ends up being the habitable zone.

      @@saviourojukwu893 The universe is only ~14 billion years old. There are orange dwarf stars that old. The Methuselah Star, for example, is a yellow subgiant at ~0.8 solar masses and its estimated age is roughly the age of the universe. It would have been an orange dwarf in its youth, more similar to Toliman than Proxima.
      Red Dwarf stars will last far longer than this. But my investigations into the conditions for life seem to suggest that it is far more likely to begin in a young planetary system. If a planet requires many millions of years or more in order to become habitable, then it is probably too late for life to take root by then, unless it was deposited (contaminated) from an outside source (panspermia).

      If a ship travels at a constant 1g acceleration rate it would get to Alpha Centauri in 3.6 years (7.3 years would pass on Earth) this includes turning the ship around halfway to decelerate. It would achieve about 95% light speed in 1 year. A 10 ton ship would require 10 tons of continuous thrust. This is by far the fastest way we can get to other worlds and the ship would have gravity the whole way.
      All that is needed for this is a fission rocket that can put out thrust for long periods and does not consume hydrogen, you can't bring thousands of tons of that with you.
      A true fission rocket should consume uranium or plutonium only. They are both jittery atoms that are on the verge of fissioning all by themselves. There should be a way to get them to fission in a linear fashion. What's needed is a controlled, time released nuclear explosion.
      In an atomic bomb fission occurs when neutrons hit uranium or plutonium nuclei. This is because they will not tolerate an increase in mass. Due to the equivalence of mass and energy, the same should be true if you infuse them with energy. This might be as simple as having negatively charged uranium or plutonium atoms coming into contact with positively charged uranium or plutonium atoms.
      With the constant acceleration method a ship can span the entire diameter of our galaxy in 24 ship/113,000 Earth years. Systems with stars similar to our sun can be reached in under 10 ship years.

    It's very important to note that the "habitable" zone of a star does NOT mean any planets located in it would be even close to hospitable to life. VENUS is technically in the habitable zone - but you'd be dead in less than a second on its surface, where temperatures are hot enough to melt lead. Mars, too, is in the habitable zone - yet you can't live there without a space suit, and many huge obstacles must be overcome before even a simple colony would MAYBE one day be viable. A planet that close to its star, for OUR kind of life, would absolutely be lethal. Even if we detect an earth sized planet with water on its surface, THAT also does not mean we could actually survive there - or that it has any iife at all.
    Just something to keep in mind - don't get too excited about planets in habitable zones - MOST stars have at least one planet in a habitable zone yet space is DEATHLY quiet. If simply being in the zone equalled life, we'd be statistically speaking DROWNING in signals even if only 0.1% of them had technological civilizations.

    Looking for life on a planet close to a red dwarf is basically a waste of time. Stay focused G-Type stars like our sun. I will really get excited when we identify planets in the habitable zone of Sun like stars. Alpha Centauri A probably has planets and would be a more worthwhile target of study.

    • @MaxxTrajan
      @MaxxTrajan 8 місяців тому +1

      The problem is, our G, K stars are super rare, and almost every star is a red dwarf . Also, early solar system modeling seems to indicate that our solar system is extremely unusual, and it could be we just got really lucky.(most stars do not have inner rocky planets, protected by one or more Gas giants beyond the ice ring, and in fact most seems to have gas giants within th eorbit of Mercury)
      But statistically, life, if it is common in our universe, will be found overwhelmingly in systems of red dwarf stars..
      This is just statistical fact.. And it will exist by many orders of magnitude, compared to K, G, or F stars.
      This is just a mathematical reality.
      I think you are trapping yourself in a box for a "life as we know it scenario" but let me propose this--
      In our own solar system, we have 7 or 8 planetary bodies that might currently support life, or at some point in the past, or perhaps at some point in the future-
      Venus, Mars, Enceledus, Europa, Titan, Triton, Ganymede, Callisto, Ceres, and Pluto.
      I'm sure you can see which type of celestial body, is more common just on our one cherry picked example..
      That's right, "tidally locked, frozen planetoids, with hypothetical warm and abyssal, salt water oceans;
      It could turn out that life often originates in these types of conditions, under the ice shell of a frozen moon around a gas giant beyond the liquid water belt(protected by its ice shell from solar radiation, comet strikes, extinction events, supernovae, etc...
      These moons, are tidally locked to a gas giant, and are made up of mostly silica and water, but thanks to all the tidal forces from the parent planet and multitudes of sister moons, there are always planety of heat energy at the ocean floor, just like the "chimney's"and biosphere found on our own planet in the Mariana trench..
      Very excited for NASA's Europa mission launching this year..
      Anyway, now lets crank it up a notch.. Instead of a gas giant, lets imagine earth-size frozen worlds, (not only are red dwarfs the most abundant star in the universe, water happens to be the most abundant compound too)
      with rocky cores, that are tidally locked to red dwarf stars, in the same way Europa is tidally locked to Jupiter. I mean Jupiter is a failed brown dwarf, amirite? So I think frozen worlds, around red dwarfs, where the life in the oceans are protected from solar flares of young red dwarf star, and like I said, anytihng dangerous pretty much.. I mean life as we know itr, needs water.. So if we find life on Europa, that would indicate, not only is life extremely prevelant, but that the scenario that is most common to life originating, is one of these frozen water worlds.
      Well this is my theory of why life will be overwhelmingly found in oceans under ice, in the galaxy, and it will be vcery rare to find a planet like ours. And why looking for rare G, F, or K stars, is a waste of time. Or at least, it would be a mistake, to focus ONLY on our similar star type. (especially when every red dwarf is literally a candidate.
      In terms of our solar system being very unique and special, and not all similar to other G type stars astronmers have observed, our gas giants are far out, most stars, the gas giants are inside the orbit of mercury, and the rocky planets are pushed to outer orbits.
      If "Thea" hadnt crashed into our planet, and formed the "moon" , without it, we might have ended up exaclty like Venus.
      So I would argue that a planet like ours, around a G type star, would NEED to HAve a large moon, and plate tectonics, and even though our telescopes are not really capable yet, we have some idea, and it would indicate that our large moon is very rare.
      One last thing, are you aware of the findings of dimethyl sulfide on planet K2-18B?
      Almost would have been a point for your theory.. but it dont look good.. here ya go
      I was excited for ya, but i just found this-
      my/webb-biosignature-gas-k2-18b-12904.html#:~:text=In%202023%2C%20astronomers%20reported%20a,-Earth%20exoplanet%20K2-18b
      Well, looks like in 6 months we will know for sure..
