Is It Possible to Learn The Language of Planets?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2024
- Could we learn to "speak planet"? Computational linguistics is now found in your smart phone, car and speakers, making sense of our speech and text. Could these same algorithms make sense of exoplanets? Join us today as we explore a radical new research idea recently published by the Cool Worlds Lab. Written and Presented by Dr Emily Sandford. This research was made possible through funding from the Data Science Institute’s Seed Fund Award.

You weren't lying, her science communication is stellar (sorry, I had to).
It really is. Really abstract ideas made clear and understandable. Even I got what she was talking about.
Love the cat too.
Omg we all hate you. Lol
So bad it's...mediocre 😏 nah good one lol peace.
Dr Emily, give that cat a treat for being so nice on camera
This presenter is very easy to listen to and understand from. Amazing.
Why can’t all colloquium lectures be as well-spoken as this?
Isnt he great
I love the enormous but subtle flex involved with citing your own research in your videos. Great to see more and more really qualified people making pop sci videos these days.
This channel is primarily about our research!
@@CoolWorldsLab Chad
This reminds me of Mendeleev, figuring out just by grouping into that first Periodic Table that some undiscovered elements probably exist - long before they had figured out atoms and other things. Very cool!
Huh. I never thought of it like that. Perhaps we’ll develop a “cosmic periodic table.”
"Is there, in some sense, a cosmic Rosetta Stone?" _~ Carl Sagan, Cosmos, 1980_
She explained everything bloody well fair play made it much less complicated for me
She is good at explaining things
Arrival was fascinating, and portrayed aliens as truly neutral, otherworldly and fascinating beings, very rare for science fiction. To think whatever we may encounter in real life will probably be even more strange...
Or maybe not, considering convergent evolution is a thing. Their world would have to be quite different from ours in order to justify them being incomprehensibly alien. If it’s very much like Earth, I believe they’re very likely to have a humanoid form. Simpler solutions are easier to come by and our form works very well. And since we aren’t 100% rational creatures, if we ever do transition to machines, we’re likely to design whatever we become to look like us. An identity sort of thing.
@@tylerslagel5485 How fascinating would it be to find *any* amount of familiarity in the alien.
@@profkingthing true
@@tylerslagel5485 I agree with you. Just like everything in the universe pretty much is similar like all planets are round everything orbits round or almost round, solar systems go around even galaxies but there's much more than that. Surely they could look like anything but I truly believe there is humanoid style beings in the milkyway galaxy and a host of freaky bizarre creatures as well. I also believe there's humanoid creatures that are not at the top of their food chain on their planets also. The universe is a crazy mixed bag and it's gonna take our however long existence to discover a tiny fraction of it if were lucky.
I have to watch it again I didn't get to watch it in full last time.
"Cool worlds" best channel
This really is a boss channel I love his content.
Idk man, Isaac Arthur is a serious contender for that title. It's a close match, for sure though
The movie Arrival actually inspired me to go into linguistics. One of the best films ever imo
Durnt good sci-fi it was. Real sci-fi, not that space swash buckler routine.
You are not wrong
@@reidflemingworldstoughestm1394 Space can still be sci fi, its mostly things like Star Wars that isn't proper sci fi, it just needs a focus around science.
The cat was like a fruit bowl in the background of an old Doonesbury sunday comic: bananas in the first panel, oranges in the next, then apples, and so on.
Well explained. Me and my cat were both very into this video, albeit for different reasons.
It is so shocking how intelligent people can be.
It's also shocking how dumb they can be.
Dr Sandford is a great speaker, hope she becomes a channel regular!
She’s made many videos in the past! Check out the back catalog
@@CoolWorldsLab her video on the space elevator was amazing, still sticks in my mind
How lucky I feel to have ready access to this information. Thank you : )
My question is, why cool worlds only has 366K subscribers, this channel is disgracefully underated lolz.
Thankyou for great video. Respect
@Smee Self Lolz. That was a funny reply.
Yet another win from the internet’s best!
"God", this channel calms, interests, teaches and amazes me all at the same time! Thanks guys! Almost instant like. :)
YESSSS! Seeing a new one of these gives me a jolt of excitement
You were right about Dr Sandford being a superb science communicator!
2 aliens are talking in outer space, looking down on Earth.
"It seems the inhabitants of planet Earth have created nuclear technology and missiles" says one alien
"are they showing signs of intelligence?" asks the other
"I dont think so. They seem to be aiming at themselves"
(i love this channel)
XD
It's so easy to argue against nuclear weapons. I know it's scary to think about and overall is bad but ever since we developed them, there hasn't been any major world wars since everyone is too afraid to get nuked. Not saying nukes are good, but there's pros to them too.
@@vincenzoambrogio9412 Nukes allow certain nations to violate human rights on a massive scale and get away with it. How many more times will Putin pull that little Crimea stunt and get away with it? How many more Tibets will China commit? And would you want to be Taiwanese right now? Nuclear weapons are blackmail, plain and simple, and who commits blackmail? Criminals.
Good one. :)))
@@SuperTonyony It still baffles me that people give a crap about Crimea.
She is way too smart for the bulk of us. I could just listen, hipnotized by her elouquence and witt.
Ditto, Brother !
I gotta be honest, I been contemplating this info for hours & I’m not a scientist, this is one High Caliber channel in the sense that it’s not just flashy recycled data I’ve heard over & over, this is Incredible new insight so well presented by everyone involved. If your interested in science /astrology etc, this channel is absolutely in the Top 5 on UA-cam. 👍🏻😊
Thank you! Discussing familiar concepts is of course easier to digest for the casual viewer, and certainly we’ll continue to offer “our takes” on many big questions like that… but to me what makes this channel unique is that we actually do research here and in particular often in daring new directions. That of course makes the videos more challenging to make and fully absorb for our viewers, but it’s interwoven with this channel’s identity.
Absolutely love the interesting topics this channel covers. Already know this’ll be a good one
These videos get better and better
I love you Cool Worlds, thank you so much for keeping me entertained & in a constant state of learning! God bless & take care all of you lovely people! 🤗🥰👍
The most interesting, informative cat video I've ever seen
Given the selection bias inherent in this data set, am I correct in thinking that this is training networks to be able to predict where we might find "planets we are likely to be able to detect", and not training a network that will predict "where planets are likely to be - whether or not we can detect them"? If so, I can still see that the former would be a very useful and helpful tool to have. But it makes me wonder how we might figure a way to build a predictive model for the latter - short of simply increasing the size and diversity of our data set.
I've been checking this channel multiple times a day the last week thinking I missed a notification. Now it's finally come. Love it.
The cat of this girl is adorable 😍😍
The girl ain't too bad herself 😛
This is such a creative method to support exoplanet research in the future. It will be fascinating to look back in years to see how accurate or dead-wrong the initial models are when compared to an exponentially expanding database of planetary systems.
It's amazing how much this project was able to tell us, given a) there's no training data and b) how limited are current observations of exoplanets are! Once we start to get some more robust data, I bet this kind of linguistic approach to organizing star systems will be extremely valuable
Everytime I watch your video, I truly feel how passionate and genuine your intention is: To share this invaluable knowledge for us!
When I was a young boy I always dreamed to be an astronaut or any job in that field. The vast and majestic night sky always fascinated me and never once I drop my interest on the subject. Even though circumstances in life now had me working in totally different things than what I dreamed of, with nobody around to share this passion of astronomy, I keeps finding myself spend hours and hours sleepless night just to watch and be amazed by science channel like yours.
So.. thank you, Professor 🙏
(Oh yeah, Arrival is definitely on my top 3 alien encounter movie)
@Smee Self haha okay now I have to do the hard task of actually choosing the top 3. Lots of great alien encounter movie but I got to go with Annihilation (2018) and Aliens (1986). Pretty standar answer huh?
I tried to like 2001 A Space Odyssey but sadly the experience already ruined by tons of spoiler. And the movie kinda too slow pace imo
Check out PBS Space Time channel too, if you haven't already. I'm pretty new to this channel, but I've been watching them nonstop for years. Especially if you like the real nitty gritty, their channel is a treasure trove.
They make the most mundane ideas feel awesome to learn about, and some of the most absurd and awesome ideas even cooler.
@@ossiehalvorson7702 I was subscribed to that channel for quite a while until I realized I cannot grasp their more advanced hard science/math explanations. I guess their channel are not for common people like me
This has scratched an itch I’ve had since arrival came out, super unique and in depth, keep up the good work!
This is hands down the absolute best channel on UA-cam. Please keep up the most excellent work, kind sir.
Thanks so much!
This is an awesome intersection of topics that interest me: exoplanetary systems, linguistics (particularly text generation/prediction but I'm also learning Japanese) and neural networks. It's always fantastic to see ideas from one field be of use in other fields.
Together we go further
Love how her cat starts off in a formal feline pose, then realizes that it’s gonna be a long video and begins to transition to the classic cat curl up and nap
"Cool worlds" is the best channel
Everything became clear for me at around the 16min mark, it’s a really unique and a good feeling whenever that happens. I want to thank you David for that short introduction there beforehand, that was genius of you to realize in advance that we would benefit from that.Really cool. I wish I had a teacher like you growing up!
I still don’t get it.
I live for videos like this. Cutting edge research presented in a cogent manner without the bells & whistles that distract from the material being presented. Thank you!
Very intelligent. I’m thankful we have people willing to go this deep to discover more information.
This was immensely fascinating, great video !
How he is talking, his voice...
Its so calming,relaxing to listen to.
What a man...
Wow, this was amazingly well put together. Barely noticed being taken from linguistics to astronomy.
I'm currently writing my master's thesis in media studies and can only hope to write something that will be usable for further studies or policies, as my area of study hasn't been explicitly mapped or explored yet.
This was very inspiring, both the communication and in particular the interdisciplinary approach.
I look forward to every single upload by this channel. I like to watch Cool Worlds' videos when I'm about to go to bed so I can digest and think about these topics as I fall asleep. It's my favorite thing to do. Well done.
This was fascinating! I studied a lot more linguistics at university than I did astronomy, so it was fun to see those concepts applied in a novel way. Also, as much as I love Prof. Kipping's voice (and I do!) it's always nice to hear/see his colleagues/students and their research and remember that the cool worlds lab is a collaborative project. Anyway, thanks as always for sharing and keep the knowledge coming!
Actually, in Chile it’s Wednesday the 13th as opposed to Friday the 13th, fun fact 😅
I love this channel. I wish you posted more often because this is one of the best channels on UA-cam!
Great video! I'm definitely following your channel's energy and her explanation of this new research. Fantastic work 👌
I have really enjoyed seeing her on some of your previous videos. This is so fascinating!
The thing I LOVE about Cool Worlds is that it challenges the way we even think about how to go about things. These clever individuals are the ones who contribute to the progression of humanity, because their insight helps us better understand this crazy existence we so happen to inhabit! THANK YOU David Kipping, Emily Sanford, and everyone contributing to the furtherance of human progression!!!!
That was great. What a chunk of information to get across in 30 minutes.
I wonder is this model developed in linguistics commonly applied to recognise and predict patterns in other fields or did one you by chance know enough about it to see its utility?
Fasinating stuff. Well done.
Paul
Great show, great host, great guest! The subject matter is an interesting area of study and holds promise. Keep up the good work, someday you might win the Nobel prize.
I can't believe I understood that! Thanks
this is so fascinating, and you're extremely good at explaining
Another excellent video by a fantastic channel. Emily explained everything perfectly 🙂
Learning and my family are the two best things in the entire world. Canned laughter/sitcoms are worse than nails on a chalkboard. I love your content. Thank you:)
Emily's back! Love & enjoy her explanations!
Yes! This just made my night! Thank you for the incredible work💪🏽❤️
This is so awsome how advances in information theory change the way we make new discoveries!
Wow so easy to understand! Love it, gotta be my favourite UA-cam channel, mind blown.
Lets be honest here: the cat is the star of the show!
Jokes aside, wonderful work again and amazing production quality.
I like the feminine side of her.
It's so amazing that you could eventually glean pretty good information about planetary systems from noisy information. Great explanations! And I also loved Arrival
This is why I love your channel. Literally thinking outside of the box. ☀️
This process reminds me a bit of those crazy hard Sudoku puzzles that start you off with one number only. But it has a secondary set of internal structures and a set of rules (correlations and relationships) governing them. Armed with that and only that, you can still figure out one blank. And then armed with that, another blank. And soon all of the other pieces start falling into place. I continue to be amazed on how little data is needed to populate a great unknown when you have a reliable algorithm to work with.
damn, you people at cool worlds lab are so creative and bold in your research, love it
Fantastic presentation. Complicated ideas but presented so thoughtfully they are easy to understand. Looking forward to hearing more about your work.
So happy I found this channel, absolutely superb content 👏
This woman seems amazingly brilliant. To keep all that in her head and by able to retrieve it so easily is impressive. There is nothing I admire more than a person who has dedicated their mind to a worthwhile cause.
You and others like you are the tip of the human intellectual spear.
Good job !!!
Fascinating approach. Whether it blooms or withers please keep us posted. At this point the idea has more appeal than the results, but that can quickly change. Carry on!
She explained very well and the cat was bonus.
@Smee Self yes. A cat was present in the video.
Geez, I love this channel. Im undecided on whether it's all related to Kipping's voice or something more "science-y"... j/k Absolutely love your content Cool Worlds! Keep it up!!!
This is one the coolest studies I have ever seen. Thank you !
Fabulous! Fascinating! A field of study that marries two of my greatest passions, language and astrophysics. The connection between the influence of the parts on the whole in both fields offers a most relevant parallel. I will follow the progress of your work with great interest.
Love this channel, this has just blown my mind. I work as a software developer with images of documents and OCR all the time and this has just opened my mind to a whole different way of information gathering.
I don't think I've ever heard something so new and complex explained so we'll. You keep doing you, Emily. This was one of the better Cool Worlds episodes, I think.
Emily will be a superstar soon I think
Somebody needed to say it. Thank you Dr Emily.
This was very interesting. A.I. developed for grammar ends up having a valuable application influencing exoplanet discovery. Awesome.
From the title I was baffled on what this was about. At the end of the video I was impressed with the very clever way of making sense of a limited dataset.
Love to know the outcome of this analysis with ever more data points from future planet findings.
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Congratulations DOCTOR Sanford! Hope we hear more of your fascinating research.
Excellent information - thank you so much for a window into your research!
This was truly fascinating. Dr Sandford is a great narrator.
Very cool. I love the innovative and pragmatic approach to interpreting a relatively small data set.
I found it fascinating! Congratulations to all the people involved in this.
Really amazing stuff! I was absolutely blown away by Arrival, and I think it’s so cool to see it inspire some real cutting-edge science.
Brilliant Video. Absolutely love this channel.
That was so satisfying and fascinating. I study linguistics and it is inspiring to see methods and research being used to discover new worlds. Awesome.
I always get excited when I see a video on this channel.
This cahnnel is a gem
A new Cool Worlds video, today was a good day.
Also, on a side note, this project is very important to the future of galactic cartography. Thanks so much for pioneering yet another segment of astrophysics.
This is a fascinating and unique approach. This is impressive, it's what it is. And also the kitty is sooo cute :D
Definitely one of the more unique and interesting videos I have watched in quite a while. 👍
Mind blown. This is really advanced, so I feel very grateful to have some level of understanding thanks to Dr Emily's explanation.
Yes difficult topic this week! But hats off to Emily breaking this down so well
Interesting topic, and Emily did a great job presenting it. Cheers.
Absolutely brilliant, David!
Wow, what a mind blowing concept! Thanks for sharing and guiding through it in such an excellent way. If I got it right, the approach is based on analysing correlations in a multidimensional set of variables. Is there any way to draw conclusions in the sense of causality out of it? My thought being that this might help understand the physics behind the formation of the various groups of planetary systems?
This is fascinating! I'd like to know which variables would be possible to use other than period and radius. Are these the only feasible variables with enough data?
I was blown away by arrival as well
Its the best to leave a video with new info! New knowledge
