Can you help us caption this video? We'd really appreciate your help! You can caption the video at this link: ru-vid.com_video?ref=share&v=f9qlDMZnWCk Thanks for watching Nature League!
This was a lot of fun. Would be great to see more. I hate to break it to Adrian though that he's not the first to think about subsurface oceans. See Europa and Enceladus.
I think the focus on "favorable to life" environments in astronomy isn't so much about looking for where any life could be as it is about finding places we could survive... People can relate to that easier, they have to think to process alternative systems.
Everything that has Brit in it, I'll watch it. If she starts a channel about how the earth is flat, I'll watch it. I just can't resist this woman. Damn crush.
Someone, please let Adrian know that liquid water is sought after because it is a suitable medium for reactions to occur (life needs a bunch of reactions to happen). Additionally, the presence of an atmosphere is about having a layer to protect you from stellar radiation, it has very little to do with oxygen being necessary for all forms of life.
Cute, fun and really informative! A lot easier to watch than the usual 'explanation video' with their repetitive pitch patterns/inotation. This is a really good format, it was very nicely edited and you're both great on camera. I'll definitely be looking out for this series. Thank you for making it!
Titan does have liquid methane oceans, and even methane rain in a cycle analogous to our water cycle. And europa (probably? I think this is technically unverified, but based on evaluations of its density) has water oceans under the ice. Also pretty sure both of these, and definitely Europa, are prime candidates for possible extraterrestrial life, so Adrian was on the right track!
brit, you have the patience of a monk, cause, no offense, i would have punched adrian the moment he said zoolander. and i think that is why i don't have a youtube channel. totally joking! adrian, you seem like a very nice person. i wouldn't punch you in reality. well, maybe a tiny bit. in the arm. again. love the banter.
I've got to be honest, this was a lot more fun at 4 am, than the academic paper was at 5 am 🙈😅 Thanks for uploading as I wake up for my early classes 😀
I absolutely need more conversations like this in my life. The closest I get is when my oldest son (8) talks to me about topics such as Russian history, and the speed of light.
This is flipping amazing, dying of laughter all the way through. Please I need more of this in my life. Also, I dont really know why, but Adrian reminds me of Chris Pratt.
She is such a good teacher. When words are broken down like that I can remeber the word better. I have a genetic condition that effects all of my joints. How I remember the sacroiliac joint (where the spine connects to the pelvis) is sacro sounds like sacrum, wich is the bottom if the spine and top of tailbone, and iliac sounds like illium wich is the pelvis. And, one more, the piriformis muscle in the hip wich is a combination of the latin, i think, root for pear and form as in the shape. So a pear shaped muscle. I love etymology.
I actually got a lot out of this! I love this way of talking science, in that the conversation gathers together my understanding and trys to expand on it.
I think the most important reason why scientists focus on visiting or studying planets like ours is because of funding. Space-related investigations need a lot of money, so they have to make sure they are spending it in something we at least know some more about or is more likely to exist, as it would be aerobic creatures considering the percentage of life forms that need oxygen & water to survive that we know of in planet Earth. On a side note, I was feeling super special with my new glasses and then I get home to watch this video and I find that Adrian has the same frames I do LOL
Titan is made up of Methane liquid and solid. It's cold, very much so, but you got your liquid carbohydrates. As far as water goes Earth is very dry compared to other bodies in the Sol System. Not that it's liquid on the surface anywhere else.
Joe Arnold hence me saying surface water. Everywhere else we found its either in solid form or very salty and that last one isnt a direct confirmation afaik.
Wait a second. Water on Earth is made with oxygen - so isn't it possible that they are getting oxygen FROM the water? (Like fish with their gills?) How do we *know* that these animals are anaerobic?
Sodaburger So, fish and other animals with gills aren't, like, breaking down water to get oxygen. They are separating out the oxygen gas that is dissolved in water just like animals with lungs get oxygen gas from the air. Some Loricifera species have been discovered in parts of the ocean where there is no oxygen gas. Additionally, organisms that need oxygen generally have structures in their cells called mitochondria that use oxygen in the creation of energy storing molecules like ATP. Loricifera don't have mitochondria, but have other structures that store energy without using oxygen. Hope this answers your question!
