Loved the video! Concise and informative as always. So after all our work at radio silence on the hydrogen line we somehow made a telescope that can perfectly fool itself with a fake signal (from itself) right on the hydrogen line? With all the hallmarks were looking for? Also with respect to the habitable zone and liquid water, a huge caveat is that you also have to have a substantial atmosphere. Seems like no one ever mentions this. The moon is in the habitable zone and liquid water can't exist there because it has no atmosphere. Atmospheric density also plays a huge role with respect to distance from the star and liquid water. I know the habitable zone is just a ballpark but atmosphere is at least half the equation and is never mentioned.
@LaunchPadAstronomy
@LaunchPadAstronomy Год назад
I'm glad you liked the video :) And yes, point well taken that just because a planet is in the habitable zone, it doesn't mean it actually has water. An insufficient atmosphere would be a very good reason.

I wonder how strong this signal was, just as a general point of reference. If it was an omnidirectional transmission from Kepler 438b, what's the order of magnitude of the transmitter power? Megawatts? Also, I wonder, would we even notice our own civilization in a mirrored SETI search? Doesn't seem likely, we just make a lot of relatively low power noise all over the spectrum. Nothing that'd make a big bright narrowband trace on an alien spectrograph, like the ones we're looking for.

@peters616
@peters616 Год назад
There seems to be a problem with explaining the waterfall signal from Kepler 238 as coming from the instrument based on matching polarization. That is -- you would not expect the signal from the instrument itself to be a waterfall signal - as you point out, you can get a waterfall from the Doppler effect of a moving satellite or airplane but not from a stationary component in the instrument. Also the fact that just the central detector registered that signal also tends to distinguish the instrument itself generating it, as all the detectors should have detected it. Is the polarization detection relatively new? If so I'd check if that was working correctly.

Perturbations from unstabilized sources like microwaves can drift in a similar fashion to this, and while it's improbable that it would drift in just the same way a Doppler shift would look like, it's not impossible. Also I said microwaves but don't actually expect them to be as narrow banded as this.

Scientists can publish a "preprint" version of their paper while it is still undergoing peer review. Good reasons for doing this are for time-sensitive research (e.g. many of the papers about Covid-19 were preprinted to help inform and guide other teams in their efforts to understand the disease and how to combat it), and to help control the flow on information when word of more controversial or newsworthy research (like this one) leaks out leading to lots of ill-informed speculation. Of course, preprints can be used by more unscrupulous scientists who, for example, know their paper won't pass peer review, but want to make a splash anyway for less-than ethical purposes --- like promoting fake cures for Covid...

Furthermore , Nasa recently released yellow orange and red colored NIRcam and MIRI images of Jupiter... Which are absolutely making no sense... Why they haven't used all the seven colors for the depiction of different wavelengths in the Jupiter image? Will we ever get the colored image of Jupiter? Please clear these misconceptions in your next video on Webb's first images.. One more question Will Webb give us answer to the question: Whether we live in an open universe or a closed universe?

They're not going to rebuild Arecibo. If they reuse the site, it will be for a completely different radio telescope with far greater capabilities than the original. As for cost, nobody knows unless or until the new specs have been completely, and that depends on what the astronomers want and how much Congress is willing to put toward the project. Puerto Rico doesn't have anyone representing it in Congress, so it's going to be an uphill battle.

Wouldn't polar telescopes on the Moon be a better option? There's a bunch of craters located near the poles that are in permanent darkness and yet are mere meters away from almost permanent sunlight, the perfect source for powering any telescopes and other equipment within the crater. The deeper parts of these craters are also shielded from RF interference from Earth (and the Sun!), but again, a judiciously positioned radio antenna outside the crater walls would provide continued communications with Earth without requiring them to be bounced off a satellite.

1420 to 1720 MHz. It spans the range of frequencies for hydrogen (H) and hydroxyl (HO), so the hypothesis was that since these two molecules combine to form water, and since it's also in a naturally quiet part of the radio spectrum, that might be a good range to broadcast in.

The second would be data rich requiring much more sophisticated and sensitive receiving equipment, perhaps even beyond our current capabilities. You can bet that if we're pinged by the former, we'd be investing a massive amount of time energy and resources to detect the latter. Yes, we're talking about very powerful transmitters, but then what else is an advanced alien civilization to do if they're lonely and want something new to study?

If the signal is not from Earth or Earth-made objects, than it's alen for sure, no doubt. Whether it"s natural or artificial, is the question.

Typically "alien" means artificial in this context, with "natural" being the opposite.

The thing about the Chinese dish is this is the first time we heard from it since they built the thing and they only have it to one-up the US so it's not clear how well it works. Also, they rushed to publish the signal's detection before they even checked what it was.

@EMAN67:RP forum Dude, this is a matter of Chinese culture. People have often gone into deep debt to obtain prestige items and is by far the largest consumer of luxury goods. They lack the equipment to build capital ships but go to great lengths to build a carrier they don't need simply because the US has 11 of them. So YES, they'd totally build a dish just to one up the US. This can be confirmed by how the ONLY innovation in China's dish was it was a little bigger than the American one operational at the time, but was otherwise off the shelf tech. They built this dish even as new tech rendered it obsolete as these days there are algorithms that allow two synced up smaller dishes to act as one enormous dish.

Can't rule that out. Chinese want to engage in oneupmanship even at the cost of science. Winnie the Pooh gotta be "the leader"

This is the first YOU have heard of it. They've been doing and publishing from there for years. You need to see the world a little past the tip of your own nose otherwise you risk making a fool of yourself again.

why are you saying "relax"? no-one is freaking out about this. This is a SETI thing, we're looking for aliens. Here's a possible signal. let's talk about why it's probably not aliens, and what evidence would be needed for something to more likely be extraterrestrial- perfectly reasonable science communication. Please stop projecting
