That gave me chills Shawn! This makes me excited to keep watching the progress of NASA over the next 15 years. When will the High Def telescope be launched? Also thanks for emphasizing the importance of team diversity, I completely agree and in a very diff field am focusing on that this year in my own team!

We are not alone. The Universe is so big and so vast that it is just impossible for there not to be intelligent life. We live on nothing but a pale blue dot. Our existence is the best proof that we have. If life in the Universe didn't exist, then we wouldn't.

@@bassimkiani5504 There's more Stars in the universe than grains of sand on the entire planet. The universe is infathominly vast. Not only is it a scientific fact that there is other life oh, but it is a scientific fact that there would have to be many planets out there that have intelligent life. That's using mathematics. The problem is, these places hundreds of thousands and millions of light-years away. Can you imagine how far away a million light-years is? You can't. Even if you were smart, you couldn't imagine it. It's something no one can relate to. Which also means that it's a scientific fact that we will never be able to even communicate with ones that far out much less visit them. PS it's impossible to travel at light speed, and even if you could it would still be millions of years.

While this ted talk presenter obviously earns high marks for his raw charisma and chiseled good looks, the presentation lacks substance with regards to reconciling modern flat earth evidence that has been proven notwithstanding efforts to conceal the truth by our lizard shape shifting political hierarchy. 4/5 stars but definitely added to my bookmarks for a re-watch on my next lonely Friday evening.

You reference as fact that "modern flat earth evidence ...t has been proven" and that statement should never be allows to go ridiculed. It is basic to the scientific method that one never completely proves anything to be true, but hypotheses can be proven wrong. Our understanding of how the Universe works and how that explains what we experience is the result of great minds and ideas developed over many centuries and tested by experiments and observations of the best minds over those same centuries. That understanding explains what we commonly see of the objects in the heavens to am amazing accuracy. It explains why on a clear day at the beach, we can actually see with our eyes, the curvature of the Earth and how the celestial objects nightly pass below the horizon toward the West and then rise from below the horizon each morning in the Eastern sky. More than that, this has revealed a truly magnificent breadth to the Universe and existence that fills our minds with wonder and awe. I truly pity those who turn away and deny this. What a small mean universe they are trapped in.

This talk went downhill at the end once he started promoting his political agenda. At first I thought he meant everyone there was nerds lol (and don’t worry I’m one too, so don’t take offense to that.) But why must we strive for diversity? We obviously should NOT push minorities or women out of the field on that basis, but I don’t think we should try to force more of them into it either. That will only push out other people solely on the basis of their race or gender identity, who are equally or potentially more qualified. If you ask me, we need equality, and that’s the end all be all, not forced diversity via affirmative action or worse yet quotas, just to evenly represent races and gender. I think the best way to do this is to just not consider those factors at all, and remove all methods of possible unconscious bias, if you are worried about that, because while I don’t buy it, I’d certainly take that over forcing diversity.

@@RIOT690 I've been telling this tale for over 50 years, but funny thing is it seems to be never far from my current thoughts. I attended the 20th McMenamins UFO festival last year and am planning on going again this year. OK.... In the late 60s, in addition to my full time job, I ran a car repair business on the side. Sometime in December I was finishing up a job on the local chiropractor's 59 Edsel. As it was an unheated shop, it was cold and about 10 PM I decided to go into the house and grab a cup of hot coffee. My shop was detached and as I was walking to the house, something made me look up just in time to see a very low classic UFO flying saucer fly directly over me and my house. It's possible it was making a hum that caught my attention, but I'm not saying so. Although it was dark, my unshielded front porch light lit it up really well. My house was maybe 30' long and the UFO was about the same width and I'd say no more than 50' above me, making it appear quite large. On it's belly in the center was a tight triangle of three brilliant red lights. It wasn't until the next day, as I was telling coworkers about it, I suddenly realized that although that craft was quite low, it never made a whisper. No evident writing or markings, but then it was dark except for my porch light. Although it moved over me, as it went over my house, the house blocked it from any farther view, but I have kicked myself ever since for not going farther past my house so I could have watched it farther after it passed over. At the time I was cold and just wanting some hot coffee, it hadn't fully yet registered what I had just witnessed, but if I could do it over, I would proceeded to the front of the house and watched it until it disappeared. Also, I was in my mid 20's and even though I thought I knew it all, I had a lot to learn. As soon as the weather gets much warmer, I'm riding my motorcycle down to Roswell to check out the UFO museum there.

In my opinion, a science talk shouldn’t be addressing sociological or political issues that are unrelated to the subject matter. Granted, science isn’t done in public lectures (and there is no evidence that this guy has any bias affecting his actual work), but the public perception of science, especially for astronomy, is highly important. It doesn’t matter if I agree with it or not, even though for many of the angry commenters that is their main concern it seems. If you want to promote diversity, then encourage people to go into STEM fields, that’s how you might create diversity in a merit based system. Do that, go do talks about that. I’m all for that, but it’s not part of the science here and these issues carry a heavily politicized connotation today. Sticking them inside of a science talk is weird to me. You can see people here responding to the few things he said by calling him a “cultist”; does anyone think these clearly unbiased non-cultists are going to continue watching and caring about the science he’s disseminating? Something to consider.

Well, political will and government money are a key ingredient of the solution. So sure politics matter. While Trump had a vey ambiguous answer regarding NASA funding, Hillary clearly outspoke of her support to NASA budget. Also, Trump was a more warmongering candidate, it invited to think that is hard that more resources can be added to the 0,5% NASA budget, as the war machine would demand them! And guess who did actually increase military budget? Also, what the point of exploring the universe, if we are all going to destroy ourself by means of war before developing the technology to actually be able to become an interplanetary or interstellar species? So yes, politics must not be kept out of the debate. Also, critical thinking is good, and be able to challenge the point one do not agree with is healthy, but to "stopped the vid" just proves on is enable to do so. Really silly approach!

An astrobiologist gives a talk about life in outer space. The word itself means someone who studies life in the air, or as we use it, in the stars. Isn't it strange that he can give an entire TED presentation about something he has never seen? An astrophysicist can give a talk about orbital motion, stellar formation, universe expansion because he has seen and can measure those things. This guy shows a slide from Tatooine as part of his scientific discourse. He said he was reading different literature. Maybe he's been studying Sand People. Click and Clack, the NPR car guys were called on the carpet by a listener who heard them talking on the air about electric brakes for trailers. It was obvious to at least one person in the radio audience that neither of them understood the technology. The man wrote in with a question for them: "Can two people talking together who both know nothing about a subject actually know less than one person who knows nothing about that that subject?" I like to call this "The Click and Clack Principle." The question was rhetorical, but there is a very workable answer: Yes two (or more) people working together can plumb the depths of ignorance much more effectively than one person working alone. Life does not arise just because conditions are favorable. We now know that a living cell is much more complicated than Manhattan Island. Bill Gates said that the storage and retrieval system and the protein synthesis programming of DNA/RNA is much more complicated than any computer program written by men. You don't believe in miracles? You do if you imagine life springing from slime.

It has been 4 years - almost to the day - since this video was uploaded. During these 4 years, TESS had been launched (spring 2019) and spectronomy has begun, with priority given to 4 specific locations. One of these locations is very close - from our point of view - to Hercules Xi (One of the stars in the Hercules constellation, which is not too far from the constellation Lyra) The specific star is HD 164595, also known as HIP 88194, affectionately called, "Hera." It is approximately 93 light-years away and is a mere 27 degrees Fahrenheit (15 Celsius) hotter than our sun. At 4.5 billion years, Hera is slightly younger than our 4.6 billion year-old sun. It is basically the same size and mass; however it seems to be more stable and less volatile... that 11 year sunspot cycle we experience... Hera doesn't appear to have that problem. Think of Hera as our sun's twin sister, who was born a few minutes later and with a little better attitude. Essentially, that would mean life around Hera would have a better chance to develop than it would here! A few months back, a small team of researchers determined that there may be life somewhere near Hera... and I don't mean microbial life, but multicellular life. From preliminary tests, we have discovered what seems to be an oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere somewhere near that star; most likely from a planet we have yet to find! Along with this we have also detected traces of methane and argon. As one NASA researcher put it, "Be it a life form that is eons ahead of us or nothing more advanced than a ground shrew, someone or some thing is farting!" Please note, this information is currently in the process of being peer reviewed and cannot yet be taken as verification of anything more than, "Hey... we think we found something. Mind taking a look at it and see if you see what we think we saw? Just to make sure we don't bias anything, we're not telling you what we think we saw..." This whole verification process could take between 2 to 6 years, dependent upon the length of that planet's orbit.

He never mentioned intelligent life or technological life. Given our only example so far (Earth) it seems likely that life may be relatively common in the universe since it started here virtually as soon as life was possible here. But it also seems that technological life is likely extremely rare since it's only happened once here with countless millions of species over billions of years. It's unlikely we will ever be contacting another technological life form. The universe if a big place, and so there well may be many others. But if it's that rare we may be alone in the galaxy and so might as well be alone in the universe. Even if there are a few others in this galaxy, they may be too far away to ever detect.

I was thinking about all the trillions of planets out there, and if we are the only planet with life. Then I thought, what if the Earth, blinked out ? Just another lifeless planet. What's left ? Just a bunch of stuff floating around in space. What would be the point of it all ? For something to exist, there must be a witness to its existence. For something to exist, it must have purpose. Nothing exists for itself....It must be part of something greater....Working like a finely tuned watch.

It's not that easy. Do you think that you can have life in a galaxy that was not a spiral galaxy? only 6% of galaxies are spiral. Do you think that you can have life in a dwarf galaxy, or a giant galaxy? No, you will need a galaxy like the Milky Way, not too big, not too small with stable spiral arms and many other conditions. what about a star, a solar system a planet, can you have life on Earth without a moon? Water is not the only habitable zone, there are about 10 others that all have to overlap.

@@aylbdrmadison1051 obviously we are not alone in the near infinite universe. But when the nearest galaxy is 200 light-years away our only chance of ever finding advanced life out there is via light speed communication. Meaning, that communication would take at least 400 years of travel time. It is scientifically impossible to go anywhere near light-speed. To actually travel there using the most incredible advanced technology hundred years into the future would still take millions of years. Even though, it would take tens of millions of years now. At the most, using non delusional optimism, you might be able to cut that time to 1/10 and make it a million years. How about, just make it the completely absurd impossible speed of lightspeed, it will still take 200+ years. Idiocracy is in effect. For humans to even still exist in 400 years would be the first miracle. Actual travel, absurd.

That doesn't mean that we should view this idea as impossible. The reason we advance as a civilization is because we are determined to pursue ideas that have only slight possibilities. I agree that lightspeed is impossible (just looking at the physics of it). BUT there is still a possibility of fast travel via wormholes. Time to embrace absurdity.
