James Webb Discovered Something So Improbable, It Shouldn’t Ever Happen

This reminds me of a fun quote: "Everything that has a probability of one in billion happens daily in China". Of course, that's not mathematically correct, but sometimes you need to remind yourself of the sheer size of space in which those probabilites operate

[@johnmckown1267]

For this kind of thing, I asked the opposite thing. What is the chance of this NOT happening. The more observations, the lower the probability of none of them NOT being the "desired" result. I tried to calculate how likely something might happen at least once if you did something one million times where the probability was one in a million. My calculator displayed a 1 because it couldn't handle a fraction that close to 1.

[@vanzeralltheway8638]

If there is a one in a million chance of someone being something, based on the simple math, it should be a solid 1000 happenstance in a place where 1000 million people gather, lol.

That's why it's the ratio that's baffling. Jmbo's existing isn't too surprising but how can it be 9% of observed wandering planets? At least that's my understanding of the situation. I was distracted by my cat during much of the video.

@@johnmckown1267 in either direction, I think this suffers from the monty hall problem. at each instant, the probability that you observe something never before seen in the universe is independent of the probability in any other instant. much like no matter how many times you flip a fair coin, the probability you will see heads each flip remains 50%.

[@douglasboyle6544]

I've said this before on another video about JUMBOs and I'll repeat it here: I remember a time when binary star systems were thought to be rare, now we know they're the norm more or less, I remember a time when we thought exo-star systems would look a lot like ours (rocky planets close gas giants far out) and now we know that once again that is not the norm but rather the exception. I think these JUMBOs fall into the same boat, they seem odd now because we haven't been able to see them but I bet if we look we'll start finding them everywhere and we have to figure out why. The universe has intriguing ways of reminding us we don't know as much as we think we do, we're always learning more and that's a good thing.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Yeah, the more information we get, the more precise our models can be. There are surprising results where our models seem to be accurate enough: the large scale structure of the universe, and the distribution of satellite galaxies. Assuming the JUMBOs are all indeed in the nebula and not behind or in front of it, the easiest solution is the density of objects in the area. When there are more planets, the chance that any two orbit each other without a star is obviously higher. And not just because the chance that a random planet is a JUMBO, but also the chance that planets meet.

[@DavidMuri-lm5vy]

These kinds of binary objects are probably doomed to eventually happen after all there are 20,000 billion billion stars each with at least 1 planet so that means 40+ jumbos are going to happen in the universes Galaxy's eventually after all we have discovered many odd planets like the planet that sientests call super satern so this isn't impossible!

[@switchjim]

YES, exactly, this is common everyday dumb reality. Of course, what you said about stars, and then what everybody hears as basic science: that Jupiter is like a failed star, or a star that didn't make it to star status. Actually, it is the simple technology of having a better camera in space, to see the little stuff, like the next improved version will see these things commonly. Funny, did he say they were Wanderers? Isn't that some old scrolled name for those god-like beings in space? Maybe all the gods of our squabbles prove to also be actually very common and nothing to fight about

[@karirissanen1]

Could they be evidence of engineering ? Just a thought

[@MorzakEV]

I think what’s unusual though is the fact that binary stars reduce in number as you get smaller in mass, so this contradicts that curve, which is an interesting result against the known planetary formation “rules”.

[@eVill420]

it's almost impossible to detect rogue planets if they're smaller than Jupiter, so of course all of the ones we find are massive. Secondly many planets could be in binary systems orbitting stars, there's absolutely nothing stopping that from happening so that 9% mark might be how often they are in binaries. and I'm a bit skeptical on why gas clouds can't coalesce to form jupiter-sized objects

[@greggjennings8729]

The opaque limit comes from watching brown dwarfs form. We have many examples of swirling gas that gets hot in the center, the heat stops more gas needed to become a star from falling in. The heat creates what we might call a color wind without a star. We have plenty of examples. Then a supernova happens and this shockwave pushes more gas together enough to cross the threshold to become a brown dwarf or larger star. I like the 4th theory at the end. Let's say you have a brown dwarf already forming, possibly from a nearby collision. Then a supernova happens of a super massive star. Such as the 1 that created the Orion Nebulla these 40 Jumbos were found. In this case the shockwave rejects some Jupiter size chunks of the newly forming star. While also adding mass to the forming star so now the brown dwarf is a solar mass star.

[@greggjennings8729]

He said these 40 pairs were only 1 million yo. A recent supernova formed the Nebula they were found in so I'm not surprised we found lots of them in a star nursery. This gives a lot of weight to the 4th theory. Even more likely parts of all 4 are correct, what we can say for certain is our current models are wrong.

I feel like there's another possibility you didn't quite cover-- though this could be wrong. Is it possible that it is just much more likely for a binary pair to be spotted?

[@artific3r_]

I want you to know this comment led me down a rabbit hole to try and find out if this is a possibility or not, because your idea makes sense! but i was wondering if maybe the number was so statistically significant that it couldn't possibly be only that they're easier to spot, though being easier to spot is likely a factor either way. and what ive landed on is that this video (and all the other news articles about jumbos) seem to be about a singular paper that i dont think is even peer reviewed. Im not even sure the journal it was published in was an official journal. It called itself an archive, but that might not be where it's actually published so I'm not sure. So uh maybe take this whole idea with a grain of salt

[@petevenuti7355]

Not only might that be possible but it might be the most likely places to discover Life outside our solar system. Deep thermal vents like in the ocean of Earth, on earth sized moons around these Jupiter size planets. The tidal energy being the source of the heat for the volcanism, that heat plus chemosynthesis being the source of energy for whatever the life forms may be. That's why there's talk of sending a submarine to one of our Jupiter's moons!

[@gsmollin2]

AT 2:21: This is not improbable, it is inevitable. Binary stars are common, so binary brown dwarfs should be too, and no reason to exclude binary JUMBOs. At 11:39: As a star begins to form at the center of the nebula, and depending on the rotational momentum, gas jets can form at the poles of the proto-star, which would remove mass from it. This is similar to how tornados form from a meso-cyclone. At the end: Magnetic fields. Mmmm...

Astrum,with this video,you made me ask myself a question. Since JuMBOs are two or more planets of the size of Jupiter that orbit each other. I first thought about Charon and Pluto when you said that they were binary,even thought Pluto and Charon aren't planets and aren't of the size of Jupiter. But,Charon doesn't really orbit Pluto,but rather a point near,the baricenter,in which both of them orbit each other. I'm kinda confused now. Would that make Pluto and Charon,a couple of binaries? I think there might be a different scenario,but still want to ask this.

[@Mark_Bridges]

The way JuMBOs orbit each other (around a common centre of mass) and the way Pluto and Charon orbit each other are the same. I think it is valid to say Pluto and Charon form a binary pair. To me as a non-astronomer, they are binaries when the centre of mass is outside them both. One orbits the other (not a binary) when the centre of mass is within the radius of the heaviest one. But I'm not an astronomer and I'm not sure my definition is 'right' i.e. generally accepted.

Long ago, but for Saturn, Jupiter would have migrated in to a close orbit of the Sun, and while doing so, expelled our 4 rocky planets (including Earth) to wander rogue in interstellar space. The hot-Jupiter systems we have found may have done just that. That is one reason why Saturn is my favorite planet (outside of Earth). The other reason is that Saturn, with it's spectacular rings, is the jewel of the Solar System. While writing this comment, it suddenly occurred to me that perhaps one reason why so many rogue planets are binaries is because they were expelled together from alien systems by alien Jupiters.

Yeah, that last bit about the UK was the only country that could enjoy Astrum got me! I was already at the bottom of the ocean then Alex pulls the drain plug. Lol😂😂😂 Don’t do that to us Alex.😂

[@bkillinm]

That sponsor bit had me buggin for a moment haha really had me worried “Noooo no more Astrum, it can’t be!” Thank god that was a joke I look forward to your videos so much.

[@NickCombs]

My initial thought is that the methodology for finding JuMBOs might be biasing the results and leading to us finding more of them than usual.

[@thepartysjustbegun5557]

My kids and I are listening from Australia 🦘 and we were in despair over the ad 😢 then we got the joke and were thrilled 🥰 we LOVE Astrum. Never stop sharing your wonderful content with the world 🌍

[@simonjensen4576]

This video is a game-changer, absolute gold!

[@Wild_Bill57]

When you said about only being available local only, my first thought was, I have NordVPN, so that’s not a problem.

[@MorzakEV]

Around 4:23, you say they’re relatively young , around 1M years old. How do they date the JuMBO’s?

[@Arlecchino_Gatto]

I love your content. That lil joke about not posting outside the UK had me VERY worried for a second.

[@stephenmeier4658]

Almost inevitably, every time a new phenomenon is described, there is at least one person who already knew 🔮

[@tuttifrutti8576]

I gotta say, I hate ads but that was a great one for Nord!

[@allan9603]

Alex one more great thing you could add to the channel is to respond to the comments. It attracts new members to your channel.

[@kinguq4510791]

Loved this, even the seque into the add! Thanks for great content.

[@qjv1922]

Niiice segue... you really got me thinking a few seconds about using VPN to keep on watching ASTRUM 😅👍

[@mikedaswed]

Absolutely can’t wait for your next one; ALWAYS brilliant!!

[@Brockbuiltmore]

My heart dropped when I got to the news at the end and realized it was just a nordvpn ad, just clicked off right then. I applaud him for putting the stupid ad at the end but could’ve cut off a whole minute to just not have it…

[@tisrettamton153]

Heart attack...HEART ATTACK?!! I think I pooped a little before coming to my senses and realizing that I have a VPN. Ya got me for a sec though. Sincerely love this channel and the content within. You, to me, do some wonderful things here and I do appreciate it. Thank you.

It seems like the fact that we've found many dual Jupiter sized partner planets orbiting each other means that they can simply form out of nebula gases and dust. Regardless of any prior hypothesis. Fascinating.

[@acubsshadow3750]

I wonder if it’s possible for two or three jumbos orbiting each other close enough can reflect enough heat between them to sustain any type of life. Or cause enough geographical activity from the pull on each other to create unknown, or just more purified rare metals

[@ulrikof.2486]

Moons around planets are binaries (or ternaries etc.) too, we just forget it because we named them "planets" vs. "moons", which is a somewhat arbitrary distinction, as the latter do not "circle" around the former, but both (or all of them) are circling around their common gravitational center.

[@ejtaylor73]

Thanks for knowing the difference between impossible and improbable. I see so many saying "JWST discovered the impossible," NO it didn't, if it was impossible it wouldn't happen at all. It may have discovered what was THOUGHT to be impossible, but that doesn't mean it's improbable, it is possible if it is discovered.

[@DistinguishedMrt]

"All we know for sure is that we know less then what we previusly tought" Thanks to science, everyday we learn more, yet everyday we understand more that we dont actualy know anything about anything.

[@underSTATEDexcellence]

I really appreciate the time you put into your subjects. Simply Brilliant.
