Joe, So no one will ever read this, because my comment is more than 2 years after the original video. But I've spent about 6 hours now looking at your videos, and I can't express how much I appreciate them -- and I'm a writer! I've always been interested in science, but my career took me in different directions, primarily into law. Had I been a bit better with calculus, I suspect I would have ended up in engineering mechanics, and maybe into chaos theory. Thanks for filling me in on science. With respect to this particular video, it's amazing to think that between when I went to high school -- with no exoplanets known -- and 2019 -- when you did the video -- we've discovered more than 2,000 planets outside our solar system. And that life exists *everywhere* on our planet (although I'm not sure I learned that from you). I hope we get some confirmation of life elsewhere before I die.
I read it, you got some amazing life experiences that I would have loved to have lived through for myself. I can only wonder how great it must feel to have seen such big technological change. At least I will eventually experience similar experiences for myself, so I can stay enthusiastic and curious about my future acquirements.
There are 2 sides to this: Knowing stuff and being able to share his knowledge. All people you mentioned are curious (who isn't at least curious about magic tricks?). They research, compare, outline and summarize. Then they share it. These are many steps and one can master all of them.
I'd say any life form that is intelligent enough to get data from a probe would probably be able to put together that it was built by something intelligent(are we though?) so it's probably up to intuition.
The basic problem is that we are trying to define life in general based on a sample size of one. We don't really have a definition of alien life. For instance, who said liquid water is necessary for life? It is on Earth (mostly), but who said life evolving elsewhere would also need it? We don't even know how to ask that question properly, because we don't have a concept of "life in general"; only of "life on Earth".
Life on Earth is a complex machinery, but it's based on the simplest and the most abundant atoms in the Universe, so the chances of finding something similar are much higher. You might even say that life based on different atoms requires a different Universe. XD
@@Lorens4444 You are making quite a few assumptions about what "life" is, all based on the one example you're familiar with. Who said, for example, that life has to be chemistry-based? You have no *general* concept of life, and all the rest is just sophistry, and lack of imagination.

Wow! This video has it all, amazing cinematography, editing, scripting, graphics, jokes, and of course lots of cool science. Didn't think you could top the old format but you guys really knocked it out of the solar system! Keep doing what you do!
When the star dims just a tiny bit in regular intervals, that's a sign of an orbiting planet. The "lots and lots of maths" is then to confirm it and to work out specifics like size and distance.
Here's a real question. What if life on other planets doesn't need water, oxygen or anything that living organisms on Earth need to live? What if life on other planet requires different things that can only found in their planet and evolved to adopt on their planet? The problem is we assume that life can only be possible if other planet has some what have the same characteristics as Earth.
Mostly assume that it's stuff that can be found on earth cuz we know most of what is on the periodic table. Stuff that ain't on the periodic table is unstable and usually doesn't exist for very long
I noticed the Mass Effect 2 and 3 references you showed (the scanner graph and animations). Thanks for giving more details about how scientists are searching for life in deep space.
Simple life is, I would say, nearly guaranteed, but intelligent life is probably quite rare. Consider that life has been on Earth for some 4 billion years, multicellular life for only 1-2 billion years, and remotely intelligent life for a few hundred million years. Earth only HAS another billion years before our oceans start to boil. I imagine many, many potentially intelligent species will simply evolve too late to escape their own homeworld, assuming our Earth and Sun are typical of systems with life.
That's a good question. The basic idea is that chemistry is veeeery likely to be identical everywhere, and water has a knack for making certain chemical reactions feasible. It's why your every cell is a bag of water, and why life evolved in water, etc. However we're not looking for water because that's how we evolved - it's just the most likely candidate. Also, you have to start somewhere. :)
what if there are life out there that breath in hydrogen and combine it with oxygen to make their own water for their body because their planet have no water but are filled with hydrogen and oxygen.

Water isnt necessary for life, methane, hydrogen sulfide, or ammonia can replace it. Silicon and even uranium can replace carbon. Even DNA can be replaced by RNA, or various xeno-nucleic acids such my favourite, ceNa. (Its hard to look this one up because most results are for john cena. Look up Cyclohexene Nucleic Acid. (Tell me if thats correct, its from memory) (also don't you hate meta parentheses.))
Water is a very good medium for life. The "universal solvent" almost everything will dissolve in water to some degree. "...helium...". will absolutely not substitute for water. Helium is a noble gas. It's gaseous to very low temperatures and/or very high pressures. It is very nearly non-reactive. Under extreme conditions helium can become ionized and participate in molecules. These would be exceedingly rare molecules and thus would be useless to depend on for life. "...uranium...". maybe in some weird ecosystem uranium could form long chains. But compared to nearly every other element in the universe it is extremely rare. Carbon is so prevalent in life processes because it so readily forms complex molecules AND because it's so common. Part of the CNO (carbon-nitrogen-oxygen) fusion chain it is produced in vast quantities by every star. Uranium is produced only in the brief moments of supernova.
Lenard Segnitz I meant methane, or liquid nitrogen. And you're right about the uranium, it IS rare, but it is very capable of forming chains which can support life.

Simple life is, I would say, nearly guaranteed, but intelligent life is probably quite rare. Consider that life has been on Earth for some 4 billion years, multicellular life for only 1-2 billion years, and remotely intelligent life for a few hundred million years. Earth only HAS another billion years before our oceans start to boil. I imagine many, many potentially intelligent species will simply evolve too late to escape their own homeworld, assuming our Earth and Sun are typical of systems with life.

If it is a monte Carlo simulation there will be many runs to see the range of results. I do so hope the next run is more fun.

Why do scientist think that there may be life on some planet if it has water? Maybe some other life form doesn't need water?
That's a good question. The basic idea is that chemistry is veeeery likely to be identical everywhere, and water has a knack for making certain chemical reactions feasible. It's why your every cell is a bag of water, and why life evolved in water, etc. However we're not looking for water because that's how we evolved - it's just the most likely candidate.
Also, you have to start somewhere. :)
The same reason why we look for life on planets in the first place; because thats the most likely place where life would live
Well you sorta need water for chemistry but I've never seen aliens before soi guess?
what if there are life out there that breath in hydrogen and combine it with oxygen to make their own water for their body because their planet have no water but are filled with hydrogen and oxygen.
We know from experience that planets with water probably have life
2:24 "Life juice", actually translates to "Lebenssaft" in German, which refers to blood! :D

My problem is what if other life forms don't require water? Like what if they don't have blood and use solar energy. That's why I love biosignatures.

Water isnt necessary for life, methane, hydrogen sulfide, or ammonia can replace it. Silicon and even uranium can replace carbon. Even DNA can be replaced by RNA, or various xeno-nucleic acids such my favourite, ceNa. (Its hard to look this one up because most results are for john cena. Look up Cyclohexene Nucleic Acid. (Tell me if thats correct, its from memory) (also don't you hate meta parentheses.))
I wonder if this kind of life exists in Uranus 🤔
Water is a very good medium for life. The "universal solvent" almost everything will dissolve in water to some degree.
"...helium...". will absolutely not substitute for water. Helium is a noble gas. It's gaseous to very low temperatures and/or very high pressures. It is very nearly non-reactive. Under extreme conditions helium can become ionized and participate in molecules. These would be exceedingly rare molecules and thus would be useless to depend on for life.
"...uranium...". maybe in some weird ecosystem uranium could form long chains. But compared to nearly every other element in the universe it is extremely rare. Carbon is so prevalent in life processes because it so readily forms complex molecules AND because it's so common. Part of the CNO (carbon-nitrogen-oxygen) fusion chain it is produced in vast quantities by every star. Uranium is produced only in the brief moments of supernova.
@array s Wait what? Links? I'd love to read about this
Uranium comes from supernovae? So the residue of far away stars that have collapsed and exploded has been thrown onto Earth millennia ago?
Lenard Segnitz I meant methane, or liquid nitrogen. And you're right about the uranium, it IS rare, but it is very capable of forming chains which can support life.
Very Nice! At 8:08 a JWST (🧡) illustration was used and now, 2022, it finally happens, and I can't wait to see it first observations!
