I love Sara she is easy to listen and she is so intelligent

[@richardjackson8221]

Tremendous respect for Sara. Hope she is the one to find Earth 2.0 and exolife.

[@deeremeyer1749]

That's highly unlikely to happen if she doesn't spend any more time "working" than talking at TED events.

So, we found water on Earth? Awesome!

[@rubiks6]

(1:47) "Earth is the only planet we know of that has life on it in our solar system and in the entire universe." A true statement with many implications. One implication is that we have _no basis whatsoever_ to calculate probabilities of life starting anywhere else. Maybe it happens all the time in many places or maybe it happens rarely or _maybe_ it never happens at all. Maybe the life on this planet came from an outside source - outside of this physical universe. Maybe. Does that really seem so unreasonable?

[@dougraddi908]

Shut up

[@ciabattalebeau8048]

Space is so big that the probability we are the only sentient species, or only form of life for that matter seems pretty low. The same can be said for finding another planet like earth. It would be arrogant and uneducated to think are planet is the only "earth like" planet.

[@deeremeyer1749]

But life on Earth is all just an accident. There was no design or plan. Its evolution. Even the "elements" that make up all of the matter in the universe "evolved". They weren't "created". Right? Oh wait. How do "elements" just "evolve". And how can something exist without having been "created" at SOME POINT? Never mind. Go back to your "probabilities" and narrow-minded thinking where an unbelievably amazing and "fortunate" series of "accidents" somehow let to Earth and life on Earth "evolving" mixed with "open-minded" thoughts about how such a series of accidents happening "elsewhere" is a matter of "probability". Whatever you do, don't research or even think about the fact that "probability" is "calculated" based upon past, known and observed events, data, etc. Statistics require "data" and "data" requires observation and "observation" requires something to observe and before something can be observed, it has to both happen, be expected to happen and have the data relevant to it recorded and saved and has to be something that has happened and NOT HAPPENED as an "outcome" of a "process" and that "process" has to be everything and anything BUT "accidental" with even the "result" being not a matter of "chance" or "probability" but an identifiable DIFFERENCE that occurred somewhere IN THE PROCESS even if no OBSERVER can see it.

[@jeerapaul]

DEEREMEYER its all conjectural talk these so called accidents obviously happen elsewhere on different timescales and different scenarios and different conditions the data is meaningless it only applies to earth , earth and its inhabitants are possibly unique ,this too applies to other worlds where life forms are unique to their system. Life can take infinite forms which therefore means infinite possibilities , i suggest you have an open minded mind ...not us

Which came first? Life on earth? Life somewhere else? Are we migrants from other planets?

[@OregonDARRYL]

There are more planets out there (according to Hubble and Kepler imaging) than human body cells on Earth! There are 30 trillion cells in one human body, and 7 billion people on Earth. There are over a trillion, trillion - 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (24 zeros) planets. Yes, there is life all over, but everything is sooooo far apart...

[@georgegalamb7523]

Just because there are quadrillions ++++ of planets out there, that is not automatically proves that any of those planets should contain any form of life. I am not skeptical, I am just as curious as anyone else, however, one cannot say it for certain what is and/or what is not being out there. We doesn't even know exactly how life was originally formed to become the start of life. Even if the stuff of life can be found all around the universe.

[@subscriber77]

Agreed, Darryl. There is not the slightest doubt in my mind that it would be an infinitesimally small possibility of there being no IET life out there.

[@Chompchompyerded]

Seven billion people on Earth?! The place is infested with the vile and violent little beasts! Someone call the exterminators!!! As for me, I'm going back to my planet of origin until things get sorted down here.

Finding another hypothetical Earth might be interesting and all, but what possible difference would it ever make, realistically?

[@bobnolin9155]

It would make us realize life is not ours alone. It is everywhere.

[@NondescriptMammal]

@@bobnolin9155 Okay, but is it worth billions of dollars just to know that? Our chances of knowing it without interstellar travel is virtually none, with all of today's amazing technology, there is still nothing we have that could definitively detect the presence of life on another planet... we are not even close to having a technology to do that. And the question remains... what practical difference would it make?

It's the one with a massive moon like ours that is so rare, that's not phase locked, that would have plate techtonics. It won't be anywhere near.

[@miramarensis]

There very well may be lots of others out there, however, there’s no proof that any such species travelled among the stars to come here. And there was plenty of time for that to happen so the de facto assumption is that it hasn’t been possible due to the insurmountable limitations of interstellar travel. Astronomy will continue to evolve but it’s doubtful that it will get a glimpse of unequivocal signs of sentient life out there.

[@subscriber77]

The three possible reasons that come to mind why we haven't found any credible evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life are: (1) one-way communication would be of no practical value to IET, considering that the vast distances/times involved in such communication would be truly astronomical (2) IET life is too advanced to be interested in mere earthlings (3) Unless IET has cracked the mystery of immortality (where time wouldn't matter) two-way communication would be of little interest to IET, unless it has something akin to humanitarian sentiments, which can't be ruled out. After all, most civilised nations (except China, where they skin and boil dogs alive) have organisations such as the SPCA.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ROFL

[@mindseyetechnology4095]

The presenter is unaware of the INTRAVIA HYPOTHESIS which states simply that "Since we have not seen life created, we do not know all the conditions necessary for its occurrence." In addition to planetary conditions (atmosphere, temperature, water, etc), there may be one or more "cosmic" condition(s) necessary which may have existed for only a limited time in a limited space. (The level of background radiation from the Big Bang might be such a "cosmic" condition) Thus, it becomes plausible that there was only one planet with the right conditions AT THE RIGHT MOMENT. Put another way, the Drake Equation may be missing at least one term ... of arbitrarily small value.

How to talk about nothing for 16 minutes

[@jimthomas3173]

Sagan gave us some BS 50 years ago about only 2 criteria being needed for a planet to support life. SETI was formed and billions were spent searching the universe. Slowly it was upped to where it was estimated that 200 criteria were needed for a planet to support life. Considering that, it wasn't even feasible for life to be here on Earth. Cut the bull, lady. Creation is lots more realistic.

[@sourcescience]

It takes a lot of effort to stand out on KZbin as being particularly stupid and uninformed. I doff my hat to you, quite an achievement.

[@jimthomas3173]

sourcescience has your arrogant @zzz found life anywhere else? Have your cronies found the primordial bowl of muck yet where life started? How long ago was that there big bang; ahh, 14.7 billion years ago, eh? you don't know anymore about what a billion is than your average social worker does. get lost!

[@sourcescience]

The correct figure to a very close approximation is 13.7 billion, not 14.7 billion. We have yet to find extraterrestrial life. The difference between scientists and creationists is that we when we do not know we say so, whereas when you do not know you make something up.

[@agrillhasnoname]

+Jim Thomas I'm not sure what your point is, but in my view, SETI's big mistake has always been to look for Earth-like life. I mean the criteria you talk about. It's nonsense. Why would life elsewhere be like us? They are searching in the wrong places, goldilocks bullshit. No wonder they don't find anything. Life probably is very different from what we know on Earth, so the criteria should also be different and the requirements for life. Godlilocks my ass.

[@sourcescience]

Nuno Anjos That's fascinating, and total nonsense. SETI searches for signals, not life.

[@patrickpawol8639]

Unless God intended for there to be life on other planets, then Earth is the only life containing planet in our universe. ISAIAH 45 verse 18.

[@Quantum_Mechanics_747]

As a scientist but also as I understand in my spirit and conscious being; unless we know what God intended we just can't say Earth is the only planet with life. Verse 18 does not refer to Earth but to God as being the Only God as there is no other. We have discovered over 500 billion galaxies containing around 200 billion stars plus on each Galaxy. Most stars surrounded by planets. Therefore if we believe and preach about God being omnipotent we must accept that He can create life where He pleases. We can't limit the power of God to only one planet.
