"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence", to paraphrase Sagan. Best would be an in situ probe in the atmosphere which allowed us to rule out physical chemistry as the source of phosphine. Recently I saw a NASA TV program discussing a proposal to send a probe to Venus. It has been quite neglected despite being our closest planetary neighbor.
I started 2020 off with Rhabdomyolysis. 18 years old, healthy, have never had any major health issues before in my life, then Rhabdo entered the chat and tried to kill me. I’m better now.
Even 70 years ago, such a thing was a fantastical pipe dream. Sputnik wasn't launched until 1957. The first successful lunar rover didn't land until 1970. The first successful Mars rover didn't land until 1997. Maybe we'll have a successful Venus rover, capable of handling the heat/pressure by the end of the decade.
I welcome the day where children can communicate with machines across the solar system. Like a distant penpal relaying the foreign ongoing in a distant land.
I still can’t believe it. I am just 22 and I enjoyed the first picture of a black Hole, the discovery of the Higgs Boson, LIGO and the most important bio signature ever discovered.
@@iseslc it could, however, give us better insight of phospine as a biosigniature, and how to see if it's a false positive or not. So one way or another, this will help in the search for life.
@Nicholas Ovel I'm not saying otherwise; all scientific advancement is good. But let's be honest, an extraterrestrial form will be the most profound discovery in scientific history, whereas a new way to synthesize phosphine will not. That's all I'm saying. One is not like the other.
id highly doubt the population is 100% robots. Microbial life is most likely all over her. The clam hides its pearl out of sight, but the pearl exists.
Born too late to explore the Earth, born too early to explore the universe, but born at just the right time to see where we've been and where we're going. Hopefully we get something into Venus's atmosphere soon to study and sample things and get a good grasp on the source of this observation.
Venus was the first planet to ever be reached by a space probe. In 1962, Mariner 2 flew within 34,400 kilometers of the surface of Venus and transmitted to Earth information about its temperature and details about its atmosphere and rotational period. The Soviet probe, Venera 7 was the first probe to land on Venus. Unfortunately, it was put out of operation within an hour by Venus' high temperature. In 1982, Venera 13 transmitted the first color pictures from Venus' surface. The Orbiter of Pioneer Venus was launched on May 20, 1978. It entered an orbit around Venus in December of that same year. Its primary objectives were to investigate the solar wind in the Venusian environment, use radar imaging to map Venus' surface and study the characteristics of the Venusian upper atmosphere and ionosphere. Most of the Orbiter instruments were still working when the probe entered the Venusian atmosphere in October of 1992. The Magellan spacecraft, launched in 1989, arrived at Venus on August 10, 1990. Before its demise in October 1994, Magellan was able to collect radar images of 98% of Venus' surface.
@@davebowles1957 It's funny how Venera 7 was designed to only last a few minutes on Venus, as they knew about the harsh conditions. It was just supposed to perform a few tests and take pictures, but it ended up surviving much longer than intended.

@@oscarrodriguez3754 Ooh, Iknow. I've been studying Venus for quite some time, many years. It's my favorite Planet (other than Earth). Here is what got me interested. Dr. Carl Sagan. th-cam.com/video/ntV-qFI0Bz0/w-d-xo.html
Read this comment 1:47 minutes into the video..... then didn't hear another thing dude said till I drifted back into being halfway through..... ah to reminisce
I just have to say that life here on Earth is grounded, but if it exists on Venus, then life on Venus is high... Whoa ... Check out those cloud's man, check out those freakin cloud's.
@John Doe Off world vehicles aren't from this earth because they were off ours when they were made. Otherwise it would just be, world vehicles, or sol system vehicles. The pentagram will try to fool people with a big bluebeam projector, launching the new god named Aliens, where we should all listen to or else! (they'll explode another beirut or something, showing the almighty power of the aliens.) Muahahahahaaa Independence day for real, lol, first we lived through the movie outbreak (orange suprise edition covid19) directed by Fauci. They just have to create another distraction above the previous distraction, hoping people have no memory. Ah well, where's ma popcorn?
Well, I'm not a scientist, but that's actually word for word how I described my first date with my ex to a friend :) It proved to be a pretty accurate anticipation of what was to come.
The thing i never understood about people’s views on alien life is why they are so quick to assume no life can survive on planets without an earth-like atmosphere and temps with water and stuff? Isnt evolution a thing? Whos to say life on other planets didnt adapt to survive scorching heat, high pressure and no oxygen?
That’s why I really like this theory. It’s results are from the hypothesis that these potential microorganisms may have evolved to survive within the clouds of Venus. 👍🏻
Exactly! And I'm sure that we are not alone in understanding that. Evolution is a process and can lead to some bizarre manifestations of life even on our planet… some can survive even in extremely high temperatures and others can survive without oxygen. And without breaking a sweat, we assimilate them into our overarching view of life as oddities. Labelling them as thermophiles and anaerobes is so much more comfortable than pondering the possibility of life beyond carbon-based life architecture. For example, silicon is a viable although less elegant alternative to carbon as a candidate for forming the backbone of life. But perhaps we are searching for life which is somewhat similar to life on earth because the selfish creatures that we are, we are hoping to find another planet to colonise even though that desire might not be explicit or even viable. At this point with our technological prowess, we can't even colonise mars. But technology evolution is also a thing, and who knows what tomorrow might bring. Terraforming a planet with earth-like conditions would be so much easier if we intend to colonise an alien planet in the future.
This reminds me of the finding of complex organic compounds in the vapor being expelled from Europa. The researchers explained it as "We're not saying it's life, but we're saying that the explanation of life suddenly went from option #362 to option #4".
I thought that was Enceladus, not Europa. Cryogeysers have not be 100% confirmed on Europa (data from Hubble telescope strongly points to their presence), nor have they been sampled. At Enceladus, vapor from the cryogeysers were sampled by Cassini and found to contain organic compounds (some strongly suspected to be amino acids).
@@fupopanda Ah, yes, thanks for the correction. Many scientists assume Europa, orbiting Jupiter, has similar features (given an even more cracked surface), but you're right that the actual organics were found in orbit around Saturn and sourced from geyser plumes on Enceladus.
Also ALH 84001, the viking LR test and the proposed stromatolites on mars. There have been plenty "we have found life. Probably. Maybe not" scenarios by now
I've heard this theory before, life seems to be tenacious and has filled every niche on earth no matter how hostile. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be true. I think that we will find life on many moons in the solar system.
Yea I’d agree with you. If life can evolve to survive in extreme conditions on earth I don’t see why they wouldn’t be able to survive and thrive on another celestial body that’s just as hostile.
@@dannels9360 I highly doubt it. Humans were just super lucky to even make it past the stone age. The life on venus would never even know about rock. They'd need to float to survive. The best the life can do there is evolving to withstand very high temperatures so they can touch the surface. They'd be plants first. It would take like 10 billion years just to discover the minerals below the surface of venus.
Unfunny comment with normie overused meme coming from a user with an anime profile picture. Full stereotype completed, congratulations NezuKamado! Thank you for contributing to the decay of this site.
They are looking at venus because they know they'll find some sketchy shit here on earth. But fact is, we live on the best planet, but we need to invest in ourselves. Enough of this money grabbing in the name of science and future. Science is even weaponised against our own people so that other people can get more status. We have enough intelligence on earth.
This is so exciting! Dr. Kipping, I watch this channel obsessively. 25 years ago, my dream was to be an astrophysicist, and it was absolutely heartbreaking to realize I just wasn’t “getting it.” I don’t know if it was my own ability to understand, these concepts, or my professors teaching styles, and my learning styles, but the end result was my giving up. I still have dreams where I am doing research, working at CERN, or studying the stars from MKO. All that to say, this is so exciting, and I LOVE watching the Cool Worlds channel!
@A B To be fair, Brian Cox was in a band WHILE doing his Bachelors and PhD. He quit "professional" music during his PhD. But I agree that it's never too late to start. Although starting late also means you have less time to invest.
@A B Then learn the difference between "you're" and "your". Not everyone is Brian May or Brian Cox. We all have our limitations academically. Better to recognize that than spend an entire life falling short of our goals. Was Brian Cox also in a band? Confused.
NASA actually had a concept for going to Venus called the High Altitude Venus Operational Concept or HAVOC. You can just change Concept to Craft if you do it. The idea was a blimp that floats in the clouds of Venus where a pair of scientist can do experiments and make observation before climbing into a rocket in the back, dropping down and then launching back into orbit. Eventually this would lead to an idea of a cloud city. Isaac Arthur has an episode about that too Colonizing Venus. Personal, I hope this discover gets more people interested in Venus and maybe even get people interested in going to Venus.
Nobody denied we already landed there for the other reply. And the blimps wouldnt be in orbit thats wayyyyy to high its like a 10min flight up at most depending on accention speeds. Also sibce its orbit is so close even its longest launch time is still shorter then mars shortest launch window
An interesting idea would be to send a longterm robotic mission which explored the zone of the atmosphere which is hospitable to life (and presumeably probes) in situ using a buoyancy concept to remain aloft. They could combine this with an orbiting satellite which synched up regularly and relayed data to Earth. We could learn a lot about chemistry of the upper atmosphere by direct measurements in the clouds combined with spectroscopy from an orbiter.
@@carlpetersson7816 Original comment refers to the fact that Russia had sent a probe to the surface of Venus. I think they're making a joke that the probe was contaminated with microbes from Earth which are now on Venus.

For me, the coolest part of science is when you find something that needs more answers. Something this exciting, as you said, kickstarts massive interest and further experimentation due to the human drive - TO KNOW- what is really going on. This is why science is so exciting to me. The implications of this discovery and further research has the potential to change the way we think about ourself’s, and our place in the universe forever. Just incredible, and I’m excited to see the results future research driven by these findings presents!
This!! Just like humans on mars Can we do it? What oppertuneties open up when we achieve it? There are a lot answers to That last question because there are a lot of resources on mars Only keeping people there alive is a really big challange
Why of course there is life in the universe. Why are we so scared to know otherwise? Why do we listen to those naysayers who say with conviction, "No, there is no life out there in the sky but here on Earth." Why do we give our power away to these small minded folks, when we can truly know otherwise. Maybe because our mindset is geared towards belief rather than knowledge - where we believe what others say because they look professional, look good in a suit, or is very persuassive in their speaking and manner. But any of these folks can be small minded, since they also do not know everything more or less than you and me. Therefore, the only one you and me can truly rely on is our knowledge and our striving for the truth, sharing knowledge in true form of sharing, and the striving of the truth from listening to those who talk but always we ourselves have the last word in our thoughts and feelings in mulling over what another say - we develop skills to know if what we hear is true or is false. And if we judge what other says is true, we still have to be open minded that in future, with new better apparatuses, new better measuring instruments, what we see as truth can be proven false, wrong or better yet crystallize to a greater truth, to see what we work at as truth is in reality true. It is truly a wondrous time to live, but we can't truly know if we listen to others in belief. So it is now time to develop knowledge, to develop understanding about our universe and our role in it. To have hope for a better tomorrow, a better today, since our world is truly majestic since it is part of a wider ever expanding universe. A universe, with furthering gathering of knowledge, can be seen for what it is, the wonder of all wonders.

Even considering that I was fired from my job today, this news about the possibility of life on Venus is by far much more exciting than the other news that I became today. Some decades ago I read about a mysterious "absorber" in the clouds of Venus (sorry I don't have the references any more, it was in some old book about the planet, perhaps a book from the 60th years). When we gaze at the planet in ultraviolet light we see certain patches of dark in the clouds of Venus, indicating the presence of some unknown absorber to UV-light in the clouds. Could the phosphine be related to this weird UV-absorber? Or are they both indications of life? Since I read these speculations about the mysterious UV-absorber I never gave up the idea of someday discover life on Venus.
@@alansmithee419 Wow! I am surprised that someone knows what I was talking about. Thank you. I thought nobody would have such an interest in Venus nowadays.
Sorry to hear about you getting fired from your job yes the mysterious absorber is still unsolved and in fact the case for possible Venusian biology has only grown thanks to recent discoveries that have tied the absorber to chemical in balances in the planets atmosphere and even the sustained atmospheric super-rotation. With each discovery the case only grows stronger. There is even somewhat controversial evidence from the Venera descent probes for elongated rod shaped micron sized particles in the upper cloud tops of Venus. Of course another similarly controversial finding was the presence of phosphorus identified by X ray spectroscopy but this finding here kind of directly confirms that which serves to strengthen some of the other soviet probe findings. Only further studies will be able to assess whether these claims continue to hold up but the evidence seems to be growing stronger!

Enceladus, Europa, Titan, Mars and now Venus...So many other chances for life to arise in our solar system. I truly hope that we will find life out there in my lifetime. Evidence for a second genesis or panspermia would completely change the way we view ourselves in the context of the cosmos
@Jotaro Kujo ... Recent discussions of missions to other planets and moons, have included some concerns over the possibility that we could ultimately contaminate "pristine" environments with bacteria from earth that "hitches a ride" aboard our probes; thus making it impossible for us to know for certain if we have discovered "new" life on another world, or simply introduced life to said world when we first "arrived" there. I wonder... should we be expecting "life" on venus, to speak with a Russian accent?
“Earth, unlike Venus, is too cold and hostile to have life. It’s so cold that lead turns to a solid! Can you believe that the surface pressure is as low as it is high up in the Venusian atmosphere? How would they even survive?”
As a Venusian, I would like to say nice work finding something in those clouds. But what you need to worry about is what you will find under that ground.
This is a video I captured from the ISS space cam at the onset of the pandemic...
www.youtube.com/@VenusianSync
It shows some sort of colony/planet type move from unidentified beings. I believe they have since transitioned to the moon where they currently reside. There are several other videos showing multiple objects crossing the moon...
If Venus' hypothetical life isn't transplanted life from Earth, that would be utterly amazing. We have about a dozen other places in our solar system that are more favorable to life than the Venetian atmosphere.
Right?? It would make us think, what if instead kf looking for planets similar to ares we stary looking for planets with the WORSE conditions ever, and end up finding life? Cause the WORSE conditions for us, could be the best conditions to them.
Carl Petersson that might not be true, as long as the information can be distributed it can eventually be deciphered, everything is a reflection of us.
I am not an intellect, I was not born with the gift of understanding the details of Maths and physics, however I do have a passion for science and it may take me many readings or viewing to grasp a little of such things.

That's the worst part about space exploration. If I had a penny for each time I've seen a video or article saying: "We found life on (Insert place here)...

If we don't know for sure, it's not interesting, because it's probably going to either take endless years to be sure, or it's not even correct.
There literally is no life anywhere else. Sorry buddy, but this is the truth. The only truth is Jesus Christ. God is real, and you better repent before it is too late.

Published by Microsoft Inc themselves. patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2020060606 Bill Gates said that anybody who does not take it will be excluded from society - both economically and societal. And if you've read the Bible, the Book of Revelations exactly, you'd know that this is the mark of the beast. Anybody who takes this is headed automatically straight to hell. There is no salvation for that person. They will face the wrath of God. Revelation 13:16-17 King James Version 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. The reason they are doing all these life on Venus and alien video is because they know the rapture is going to happen soon. So they are trying to delude you guys into thinking that the Christians who suddenly disappeared were taken by aliens. This is not the truth. Repent and turn to God before it is too late.

As a biochemist, I am skeptical about this. I'm curious enough to want a thorough analysis done, but mostly for my chemical curiosity. Chemistry is VERY dependent on temperature, pressure, and other conditions; every reaction can be reversed by playing with these variables, so Venus chemistry may not resemble Earth chemistry. I would need to see a very detailed accounting of the atmosphere before I'm convinced that it is truly out of equilibrium.
i'm a biochemist myself too, it is true that life as we know it could never survive on Venus, but it might still be possible for the development of extremophiles, and probably not even carbon based ones, that would be groundbreaking
Well put mate. I don’t actually think it’s much to get too excited about when really thinking about the reality of Venus. I think it’s most likely going to be the result of Venus’s behavioural chemistry rather than an indication of life based on our earth biochem knowledge. I do however strongly believe that under far more favourable conditions on other planets, in other solar systems the possibility of non intelligent life is highly probable, from my own knowledge and understanding I suspect suitable conditions and a bit of luck is what it comes down to.
Ooh, I really enjoy these examinations. So reasonable and balanced and scientific but without loosing any of the delicious sense of wonder and presented in a way a non-specialist can follow. You are doing a fantastic service, keep it up!
Feels like we're so close to definitively proving the existence of extra terrestrial life. Hope it happens in my life time, and in the meantime I'll try not to get too excited by announcements like this one.
@Walker Jennings The tic tac craft and others we've seen leaked have decent enough terrestrial explanations, they may be aliens but it's far from difinitive. As for rumours and "insider info" regarding recovered crafts or segments/materials that's really just not good enough. We need solid proof, not interviews with a guy who knew a guy who worked at a place where there were these guys and they had a warp drive.
Kevin O “Women are from Venus” Venus turns out to be scorched hell hole. All my previous relationships make so much sense now. Calm down ladies. Is joke. After all, Mars is a cold, barren wasteland, just like the emotional capacity of men.
Hmmm; I don't know. This looks worth checking to me, but the only way I'll buy it for sure is if we scoop up some Venus air and see microbes in it. And even then it might turn out it's Earth life and meteor bombardment activity moved it from place to place.
@@maxstone2380 For you to state as a fact that there is no actual life on Venus, this means that your knowledge and qualifications must be superior to that of the scientists involved.

Of course the answer is "No" but the scientists have not claimed that they have found life. The headline is to grab attention, one has to dig deeper to get the details.

@@galaxia4709 yeah finding life on another planet, let alone the same solar system as ours, I don't think many revelations would come close to it !!! However isn't it theoretically clear that there is other life in the universe? I mean even if the probability is less likely than winning the lottery, still millions of planets :)🌌🌌🌌
Wow !!! Imagine, if there is life on two planets in our system, then it is probably everywhere. Let's go to Venus, confirm it and then combine all our human efforts, forget all of our differences and do whatever we can, just to discover the next evolutionary step, somewhere out there, multi cellular life. There are waiting still so many surprises for us humans, if we can make it through our "dark age" and survive the nuklear and industrial threats.
While I appreciate your sentiment, there is a reason Star Trek is and will remain fiction, in my opinion. I’m skeptical that humans will ever collectively be forward thinking enough to leave our solar system. I wish we were, but I doubt it. More likely whatever machine intelligence we birth will be the ones to head out.
There are a lot of icy moons in the outer solar system that are predicted to have subsurface oceans. They're not exactly perfect, likely containing some ammonia and possibly missing minerals and carbon in some cases, but if we can find life on just one of those moons, that's basically a strong indication for life on all of them. Which is spectacular to think about. It would basically suggest life in half of the star systems in the entire galaxy. Intelligent life, maybe not so much, but it's still very exciting.
This is a very intriguing idea. Even if it turns out that there is no life responsible for this phenomenon, the study of the chemical processes involved will only serve to increase our understanding of chemistry. Which is a win in itself. Additionally, as you said, it will also increase our engineering expertise as a whole when it comes to the attempt to study it on-site. Great video, and thank you for the news!
Atmosphere of Venus doesn't contain oxygen to oxidize PH3 molecules(and lower its concentration). This molecule is stable at over 500 °C. So it can accumulate. Inorganic (abiotic) formation is perfectly possible.
@@petersvancarek Unless they totally misread the signal and it is not phosphine at all. Don't you think there might be completely different elements and chemicals out there in the universe not just the ones we have so far found on earth. I must admit this is all very pie in the sky and VERY earth centric. People will be loling at this in a few years time.
A planet with a lot going on chemically seems like a plausible place -- a lot chemical reactions and somehow some stability occurs. I would bet that this is a very different sort of multicellular life than on Earth unless of course both planets were seeded by meteorites Very exciting if true. Amazing that more than 50 years ago the Soviets landed on Venus -- most people who don't know this already I am sure are surprised.
Is nobody planning a trip back? I'm sure I read something the other day about a new planned trip to Venus (maybe it was even the Russians again) but I can't remember now.
@@antoinelachapelle3405 does not mean they would not also be possible on Venus and if Venus does turn out to have life it sounds like most likely it floats in atmosphere.
Every planet could have some form of life, that's what I think. Life evolves in many ways. Even Jupiter has life(in a way,) BUT it is in a certain part of the gas clouds, that's because the asteroids that Jupiter basically eats can have microbes that drop off in the gas clouds of Jupiter(In fact, all the gas planets can have life by just microbes dropping off from asteroids). Even pluto might have some life, and if the Kuiper belt was hotter, there would be hundreds of planets that could have some form of life.
It would be interesting to see if future observations saw a link between the darker particles in Venus’ atmosphere that some people already think are signs of organisms in the clouds to the concentrations/distribution of the newly detected gas.
Yeah especially since the unknown UV absorbing particles are already associated with sulfur dioxide fluctuations which is a gas that sulfur respiring microbes use for respiration on Earth and a gas which doesn't last long in the Venusian atmosphere tending to react with water vapor or related species to form sulfuric acid.
@GreyGeek Let's assume the micro organisms reach escape velocity of the Earth/Moon system of 16km/s. And then just drift around the galaxy. 16*365.25*24*3600*2*10^9 ≈ 10^18km One light year ≈ 10^12 I'm They could easily travel across our galaxy in 2Gy. Reaching the escape velocity of Milky Way might be somewhat harder, don't you think.
@@tabaholics His money comes from the government even though his company is officially private. There is a reason for this - many decades ago, a number of countries, including the USA, signed the Outer Space Treaty, and one of the parts of that treaty was that no country could claim part of the Moon, Mars, asteroids etc. This leads to all kinds of issues when it comes to mining and colonisation. However, the treaty has a big loophole in it. It prevents countries from claiming celestial bodies, but it says nothing about corporations or individuals. SpaceX is funded to exploit this loophole in international law, and is essentially a cat's paw for US government interests.
It's a private company but it has: 1) gotten loans from the government both Space X and Tesla. 2) Gets government contracts, particularly Space X, in fact that it's bread and butter, without such it wouldn't have enough funding to do much. 3) Receives assistance at various NASA locations for its launches. 4) Has received various subsidies and both direct tax credits or through effective carbon credits that are awarded by states and other governments, these carbon credits are required to be purchased by other vehicle manufacturers in order to avoid even higher fees; Tesla sells these carbon credits to the vehicle manufacturers. Without government requiring and giving carbon credits, a subsidy, Tesla would never have any type of profit at all. Last profit was only because it sold just in the last quart $482 million in carbon credits. "To put that in perspective, regulatory credit sales were greater than the company’s free cash flow and amounted to four times Tesla’s $104 million of net profit for the quarter." So, it's private receiving lots of subsidies from governments. I'm mostly okay with this. WE have to move away from fossil fuels. Do I think Tesla is the answer... maybe.... but I'm thinking more on H2 fuel cells, when Wendelstein 7x or ITER fusion reactors or LFTR fission reactors are built up... making electricity super cheap thus electrolysis cheap, and manufacture of H2 from water is then super cheap and carbon neutral and done at home and at stations, no transporting the fuel. Lithium and cobalt that make up batteries are extremely expensive and certainly not carbon neutral mining such material. And it takes about 140 pounds each of the rare substance. Lithium is 5 times more rare than copper in the earth's crust. So H2 fuel cell cars are more practical... and they refuel faster. Both battery and H2 cars at present have safety issues though, but they can be resolved through engineering. With cheap electrolysis, other longer hydro carbon based fuels can be synthesized that don't ad CO2 to the atmosphere too; as well as materials that can be synthesized. But changing to these technologies will requiring planning, ie subsidies. Just as building highways and interstate freeways and sewers and electrical grids and power plants and ports etc. have in the past and continue to today. Unless you want to live in a dystopia shit hole where most people live in slums with a few small conclaves of elites hiding behind walls aka gated communities.

Xanthos the atmosphere wasn’t always that thick. However I agree with you that finding fossils is unlikely but instead because of the thick layers of solidified lava and ejecta from the intense volcanism that takes place on venus
@@einradida-doba-badida8813 Floaters couldn't exist on Jupiter because the atmosphere is too violent and turbulent. Venus's upper atmosphere, where the conditions are comparatively suitable for life is also unfortunately turbulent. Plus, floaters were massive, city sized organisms, if they were to exist we would have known decades ago about them.
I thought it would be fascinating to go back to learn about the planet itself and to take on the enormous technical challenge of surviving in that habitat. (The Russian engineers did some amazing work to get their probe operating for any length of time, and since then weve created high temperature equipment that could extend the life of instruments to days, or even weeks.) I did not imagine new missions could be spurred on by the prospect of finding life... - Up in the atmosphere is a very different yet equally interesting challenge to the ground based probes, and whats the worst that can happen once the results are confirmed and such things should be considered? Developing new technology and probes, new understanding of biomarkers, and new chemistry to document. All of that could happen long before a single microbe is found. (Which Im not getting my hopes up for just yet.) - Its exciting on all sorts of different levels, and any way you look at it returning to our sister is long over due.
It's a monumental announcement if they can back it up with further detection. Great video mate, just subscribed, made a video on this myself but not as extent, check it out : )
The Lost History Channel TKTC: I don't get it. He says phosphine may or may not be a life marker. He also says we don't really understand how phosphine works in life forms on earth nor how phosphine might be produced other ways in the Venutian atmosphere. It seems like they're desperate for results pointing to life rather than cautious.
Brilliant video! Very to the point, I liked the interview section, no annoying sound effects, the narrating is good and most importantly the topic is interesting. I am now subscribed!
It does sort of make sense - science has struggled to see how Earth could be warm enough for liquid water and life when the sun was young and cool. But if it got an early start on a warm Venus and then percolated out through the solar system via large impacts and meteorites problem could be neatly solved. Let’s see if the evidence supports this!
• When I saw a headline on my phone today “Signs of Alien Life detected on Venus” - I was (am) ecstatic! • That said, I’m surprised temporary news stories about what Trump said or Brexit or COVID, seem to take precedence of this AMAZING discovery. • This is wonderful news. Needs more attention! Where are these Microbes from? Did they come from Earth some how? Did they evolve on Mars? Or did we, and them come from, ‘elsewhere’? Either answer will be AMAZING.
@@craigwall9536 Elaborate, since your concept of the fallacy mentioned might be slightly askew. All that's been actually stated so far is the presence of a peculiar chemical and the origin is not yet fully understood hence not exhaustively explained. All else is mere speculation, whereat I gather it can be agreed upon.
Id assume its origins are from the same place as all the rest of the life we know of in the universe came from.. And is composed of. Where did life on earth come from? I couldnt have suddenly formed from nothing one day. Earth wasnt even around forever! It too was created at one point. Where it all ultimately comes from? Well im convinced we may never know**, but for now, a general / as vague as it gets kinda answer such as "cosmic dust" suffices. **and this is due to our own ways. We can get along long enough to finish a meal FFS! We can't see each other as humans and thats it for shit! We're rapidly limiting the very precious time we have left on this planet, pissing it away like its our job. (The environment). The one thing humans have mastered, is killing eachother, we got that down. You think we'll suddenly, significantly, & drastically change before it's too late for the enviromment? Or rapidly advance as a race quick enough to become not only a space fairing species, but to also actually have a shot of making that work out long run, before we die with the planet? Or do you think we're gonna stick to our super petty ways and materialistic crap and worry about things that will never matter instead? The Kardashev rating of 1, for us? Its a fantasy only.. A depressing one.
U think when the sun was just forming when the sun was “smaller” Venus could’ve been in its habitable zone? And the expansion of the sun caused the green house gasses on Venus?
That's a very plausible and widely accepted hypothesis. There is some evidence that Venus in the distant past was a more temperate and Earth-like world for billions of years and could have even had an ocean that didn't boil away until sometime around a billion years ago. Here's a video discussing this evidence: th-cam.com/video/lonB9NLBsQY/w-d-xo.html Incidentally, the gradual heating up of the sun is expected to transform the Earth into a Venus-like world about a billion years from now.
i read about it ,but it's not true and not confirmed because the scientists say that the venus chemistry is different and complex so they don't know for sure. and it's stupid to jump to conclusions very quickly when we have not taken a portion of the soil there and there are planets that doesn't operate like our planet for example what we have is solid, liquid and gass and up there it might be something out of understanding like something far different from liquid, gas and solid. for example color is an illusion because color comes from the reflection of the sun and all colors we see are from our sun and there are many suns if we replace them with ours we might see different colors and so on and so on. there are many frauds about planets like Jupiter and also the moon itself.

David Tatum I agree, but he did a video on how we were likely the only intelligent life in the Milky Way. But if they found life in the most inhospitable environment in our solar system, it may mean that life is way more common than we thought, which would be cool in it’s own right.

Hopefully we get something into Venus's atmosphere soon to study and sample things and get a good grasp on the source of this observation.
Venus was the first planet to ever be reached by a space probe. In 1962, Mariner 2 flew within 34,400 kilometers of the surface of Venus and transmitted to Earth information about its temperature and details about its atmosphere and rotational period. The Soviet probe, Venera 7 was the first probe to land on Venus. Unfortunately, it was put out of operation within an hour by Venus' high temperature. In 1982, Venera 13 transmitted the first color pictures from Venus' surface. The Orbiter of Pioneer Venus was launched on May 20, 1978. It entered an orbit around Venus in December of that same year. Its primary objectives were to investigate the solar wind in the Venusian environment, use radar imaging to map Venus' surface and study the characteristics of the Venusian upper atmosphere and ionosphere. Most of the Orbiter instruments were still working when the probe entered the Venusian atmosphere in October of 1992. The Magellan spacecraft, launched in 1989, arrived at Venus on August 10, 1990. Before its demise in October 1994, Magellan was able to collect radar images of 98% of Venus' surface.
@@davebowles1957 It's funny how Venera 7 was designed to only last a few minutes on Venus, as they knew about the harsh conditions. It was just supposed to perform a few tests and take pictures, but it ended up surviving much longer than intended.

@@wiseguy8828 but is it causation or correlation?
The thing i never understood about people’s views on alien life is why they are so quick to assume no life can survive on planets without an earth-like atmosphere and temps with water and stuff? Isnt evolution a thing? Whos to say life on other planets didnt adapt to survive scorching heat, high pressure and no oxygen?
That’s why I really like this theory. It’s results are from the hypothesis that these potential microorganisms may have evolved to survive within the clouds of Venus. 👍🏻
Exactly! And I'm sure that we are not alone in understanding that. Evolution is a process and can lead to some bizarre manifestations of life even on our planet… some can survive even in extremely high temperatures and others can survive without oxygen. And without breaking a sweat, we assimilate them into our overarching view of life as oddities. Labelling them as thermophiles and anaerobes is so much more comfortable than pondering the possibility of life beyond carbon-based life architecture. For example, silicon is a viable although less elegant alternative to carbon as a candidate for forming the backbone of life. But perhaps we are searching for life which is somewhat similar to life on earth because the selfish creatures that we are, we are hoping to find another planet to colonise even though that desire might not be explicit or even viable. At this point with our technological prowess, we can't even colonise mars. But technology evolution is also a thing, and who knows what tomorrow might bring. Terraforming a planet with earth-like conditions would be so much easier if we intend to colonise an alien planet in the future.
Because chemistry and physics are the same everywhere in the universe, and scorching heat cause all sorts of chemical problems.
funny thing, oxygen was toxic to most life and could have halted life on earth
I think the same thing about potential life evolving within black holes.
This reminds me of the finding of complex organic compounds in the vapor being expelled from Europa. The researchers explained it as "We're not saying it's life, but we're saying that the explanation of life suddenly went from option #362 to option #4".
I thought that was Enceladus, not Europa. Cryogeysers have not be 100% confirmed on Europa (data from Hubble telescope strongly points to their presence), nor have they been sampled. At Enceladus, vapor from the cryogeysers were sampled by Cassini and found to contain organic compounds (some strongly suspected to be amino acids).
@@fupopanda Ah, yes, thanks for the correction. Many scientists assume Europa, orbiting Jupiter, has similar features (given an even more cracked surface), but you're right that the actual organics were found in orbit around Saturn and sourced from geyser plumes on Enceladus.

@@dannels9360 I highly doubt it. Humans were just super lucky to even make it past the stone age. The life on venus would never even know about rock. They'd need to float to survive.

NASA actually had a concept for going to Venus called the High Altitude Venus Operational Concept or HAVOC. You can just change Concept to Craft if you do it. The idea was a blimp that floats in the clouds of Venus where a pair of scientist can do experiments and make observation before climbing into a rocket in the back, dropping down and then launching back into orbit. Eventually this would lead to an idea of a cloud city. Isaac Arthur has an episode about that too Colonizing Venus. Personal, I hope this discover gets more people interested in Venus and maybe even get people interested in going to Venus.
The Russians did this already in the Soviet era with Vega 1 and 2. Prior to that Venera 1 and 2.
Nobody denied we already landed there for the other reply. And the blimps wouldnt be in orbit thats wayyyyy to high its like a 10min flight up at most depending on accention speeds. Also sibce its orbit is so close even its longest launch time is still shorter then mars shortest launch window
The Soviet probes landed on the Venetian surface, a very inhospitable place. In the clouds of Venus life would be possible.
@@kdegraa yes thats why he was talking about the project
An interesting idea would be to send a longterm robotic mission which explored the zone of the atmosphere which is hospitable to life (and presumeably probes) in situ using a buoyancy concept to remain aloft. They could combine this with an orbiting satellite which synched up regularly and relayed data to Earth. We could learn a lot about chemistry of the upper atmosphere by direct measurements in the clouds combined with spectroscopy from an orbiter.

Why of course there is life in the universe. Why are we so scared to know otherwise? Why do we listen to those naysayers who say with conviction, "No, there is no life out there in the sky but here on Earth." Why do we give our power away to these small minded folks, when we can truly know otherwise. Maybe because our mindset is geared towards belief rather than knowledge - where we believe what others say because they look professional, look good in a suit, or is very persuassive in their speaking and manner. But any of these folks can be small minded, since they also do not know everything more or less than you and me. Therefore, the only one you and me can truly rely on is our knowledge and our striving for the truth, sharing knowledge in true form of sharing, and the striving of the truth from listening to those who talk but always we ourselves have the last word in our thoughts and feelings in mulling over what another say - we develop skills to know if what we hear is true or is false. And if we judge what other says is true, we still have to be open minded that in future, with new better apparatuses, new better measuring instruments, what we see as truth can be proven false, wrong or better yet crystallize to a greater truth, to see what we work at as truth is in reality true.
It is truly a wondrous time to live, but we can't truly know if we listen to others in belief. So it is now time to develop knowledge, to develop understanding about our universe and our role in it. To have hope for a better tomorrow, a better today, since our world is truly majestic since it is part of a wider ever expanding universe. A universe, with furthering gathering of knowledge, can be seen for what it is, the wonder of all wonders.

Even considering that I was fired from my job today, this news about the possibility of life on Venus is by far much more exciting than the other news that I became today. Some decades ago I read about a mysterious "absorber" in the clouds of Venus (sorry I don't have the references any more, it was in some old book about the planet, perhaps a book from the 60th years). When we gaze at the planet in ultraviolet light we see certain patches of dark in the clouds of Venus, indicating the presence of some unknown absorber to UV-light in the clouds. Could the phosphine be related to this weird UV-absorber? Or are they both indications of life? Since I read these speculations about the mysterious UV-absorber I never gave up the idea of someday discover life on Venus.
It seems that was recently found to be caused by sulphur oxides. Possibly related, probably not.
@@alansmithee419 Wow! I am surprised that someone knows what I was talking about. Thank you.
I thought nobody would have such an interest in Venus nowadays.
Sorry to hear about you getting fired from your job yes the mysterious absorber is still unsolved and in fact the case for possible Venusian biology has only grown thanks to recent discoveries that have tied the absorber to chemical in balances in the planets atmosphere and even the sustained atmospheric super-rotation. With each discovery the case only grows stronger.
There is even somewhat controversial evidence from the Venera descent probes for elongated rod shaped micron sized particles in the upper cloud tops of Venus. Of course another similarly controversial finding was the presence of phosphorus identified by X ray spectroscopy but this finding here kind of directly confirms that which serves to strengthen some of the other soviet probe findings. Only further studies will be able to assess whether these claims continue to hold up but the evidence seems to be growing stronger!

I wonder... should we be expecting "life" on venus, to speak with a Russian accent?

“Earth, unlike Venus, is too cold and hostile to have life. It’s so cold that lead turns to a solid! Can you believe that the surface pressure is as low as it is high up in the Venusian atmosphere? How would they even survive?”
As a Venusian, I would like to say nice work finding something in those clouds. But what you need to worry about is what you will find under that ground.

It shows some sort of colony/planet type move from unidentified beings. I believe they have since transitioned to the moon where they currently reside. There are several other videos showing multiple objects crossing the moon...
What comes next is unknown.
even if they're just micro-organisms in the clouds: the "life will find a way" notion is both beautiful and horrifying.

If Venus' hypothetical life isn't transplanted life from Earth, that would be utterly amazing. We have about a dozen other places in our solar system that are more favorable to life than the Venetian atmosphere.
even if is simple... its life.
What is with people finding innocuous phrases terrifying. Stop.
It would be pretty funny if the physical hell of all places would have life.
Right?? It would make us think, what if instead kf looking for planets similar to ares we stary looking for planets with the WORSE conditions ever, and end up finding life? Cause the WORSE conditions for us, could be the best conditions to them.

There literally is no life anywhere else. Sorry buddy, but this is the truth. The only truth is Jesus Christ. God is real, and you better repent before it is too late.
The patent ID number on ID2020 (the cashless system approaching by the end of next month) is literally 060606. Published by Microsoft Inc themselves. patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2020060606 Bill Gates said that anybody who does not take it will be excluded from society - both economically and societal.
And if you've read the Bible, the Book of Revelations exactly, you'd know that this is the mark of the beast. Anybody who takes this is headed automatically straight to hell. There is no salvation for that person. They will face the wrath of God.
Revelation 13:16-17

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
The reason they are doing all these life on Venus and alien video is because they know the rapture is going to happen soon. So they are trying to delude you guys into thinking that the Christians who suddenly disappeared were taken by aliens. This is not the truth. Repent and turn to God before it is too late.

As a biochemist, I am skeptical about this. I'm curious enough to want a thorough analysis done, but mostly for my chemical curiosity. Chemistry is VERY dependent on temperature, pressure, and other conditions; every reaction can be reversed by playing with these variables, so Venus chemistry may not resemble Earth chemistry. I would need to see a very detailed accounting of the atmosphere before I'm convinced that it is truly out of equilibrium.
David Hand yes I’m looking forward to seeing chemists weigh in on this paper too
i'm a biochemist myself too, it is true that life as we know it could never survive on Venus, but it might still be possible for the development of extremophiles, and probably not even carbon based ones, that would be groundbreaking
Well put mate. I don’t actually think it’s much to get too excited about when really thinking about the reality of Venus. I think it’s most likely going to be the result of Venus’s behavioural chemistry rather than an indication of life based on our earth biochem knowledge. I do however strongly believe that under far more favourable conditions on other planets, in other solar systems the possibility of non intelligent life is highly probable, from my own knowledge and understanding I suspect suitable conditions and a bit of luck is what it comes down to.
You could always just...read the original paper outlining what they did, and didn’t analyse...

Hmmm; I don't know. This looks worth checking to me, but the only way I'll buy it for sure is if we scoop up some Venus air and see microbes in it. And even then it might turn out it's Earth life and meteor bombardment activity moved it from place to place.

Wow !!! Imagine, if there is life on two planets in our system, then it is probably everywhere. Let's go to Venus, confirm it and then combine all our human efforts, forget all of our differences and do whatever we can, just to discover the next evolutionary step, somewhere out there, multi cellular life. There are waiting still so many surprises for us humans, if we can make it through our "dark age" and survive the nuklear and industrial threats.
While I appreciate your sentiment, there is a reason Star Trek is and will remain fiction, in my opinion. I’m skeptical that humans will ever collectively be forward thinking enough to leave our solar system. I wish we were, but I doubt it. More likely whatever machine intelligence we birth will be the ones to head out.
Oh, yeah! Then we can hold our hands together to form a full circle around our earth!!! Idiot.
There are a lot of icy moons in the outer solar system that are predicted to have subsurface oceans. They're not exactly perfect, likely containing some ammonia and possibly missing minerals and carbon in some cases, but if we can find life on just one of those moons, that's basically a strong indication for life on all of them. Which is spectacular to think about. It would basically suggest life in half of the star systems in the entire galaxy. Intelligent life, maybe not so much, but it's still very exciting.
In any case we wont live to see it
@@breadloaf666 ????
This is a very intriguing idea. Even if it turns out that there is no life responsible for this phenomenon, the study of the chemical processes involved will only serve to increase our understanding of chemistry.

Atmosphere of Venus doesn't contain oxygen to oxidize PH3 molecules(and lower its concentration). This molecule is stable at over 500 °C. So it can accumulate. Inorganic (abiotic) formation is perfectly possible.
@@petersvancarek Unless they totally misread the signal and it is not phosphine at all.

@@glorymanheretosleep that's why he wrote "If they can" - if stands for "possibilty" 😉
Every planet could have some form of life, that's what I think. Life evolves in many ways. Even Jupiter has life(in a way,) BUT it is in a certain part of the gas clouds, that's because the asteroids that Jupiter basically eats can have microbes that drop off in the gas clouds of Jupiter(In fact, all the gas planets can have life by just microbes dropping off from asteroids). Even pluto might have some life, and if the Kuiper belt was hotter, there would be hundreds of planets that could have some form of life.

It would be interesting to see if future observations saw a link between the darker particles in Venus’ atmosphere that some people already think are signs of organisms in the clouds to the concentrations/distribution of the newly detected gas.
Yeah especially since the unknown UV absorbing particles are already associated with sulfur dioxide fluctuations which is a gas that sulfur respiring microbes use for respiration on Earth and a gas which doesn't last long in the Venusian atmosphere tending to react with water vapor or related species to form sulfuric acid.
My first thought too. There might be a connection.

@GreyGeek Let's assume the micro organisms reach escape velocity of the Earth/Moon system of 16km/s. And then just drift around the galaxy.

Venus: Has life
Elon: We’re going to Veeenus (venuss)
Elon Musk is government funded.
Anon B no he’s not. Space x is a private company taking no government money unlike nasa.
@@tabaholics His money comes from the government even though his company is officially private. There is a reason for this - many decades ago, a number of countries, including the USA, signed the Outer Space Treaty, and one of the parts of that treaty was that no country could claim part of the Moon, Mars, asteroids etc. This leads to all kinds of issues when it comes to mining and colonisation.
However, the treaty has a big loophole in it. It prevents countries from claiming celestial bodies, but it says nothing about corporations or individuals. SpaceX is funded to exploit this loophole in international law, and is essentially a cat's paw for US government interests.
It's a private company but it has:
1) gotten loans from the government both Space X and Tesla.
2) Gets government contracts, particularly Space X, in fact that it's bread and butter, without such it wouldn't have enough funding to do much.
3) Receives assistance at various NASA locations for its launches.
4) Has received various subsidies and both direct tax credits or through effective carbon credits that are awarded by states and other governments, these carbon credits are required to be purchased by other vehicle manufacturers in order to avoid even higher fees; Tesla sells these carbon credits to the vehicle manufacturers. Without government requiring and giving carbon credits, a subsidy, Tesla would never have any type of profit at all. Last profit was only because it sold just in the last quart $482 million in carbon credits.
"To put that in perspective, regulatory credit sales were greater than the company’s free cash flow and amounted to four times Tesla’s $104 million of net profit for the quarter."
So, it's private receiving lots of subsidies from governments.
I'm mostly okay with this. WE have to move away from fossil fuels.
Do I think Tesla is the answer... maybe.... but I'm thinking more on H2 fuel cells, when Wendelstein 7x or ITER fusion reactors or LFTR fission reactors are built up... making electricity super cheap thus electrolysis cheap, and manufacture of H2 from water is then super cheap and carbon neutral and done at home and at stations, no transporting the fuel.
Lithium and cobalt that make up batteries are extremely expensive and certainly not carbon neutral mining such material. And it takes about 140 pounds each of the rare substance. Lithium is 5 times more rare than copper in the earth's crust.
So H2 fuel cell cars are more practical... and they refuel faster.
Both battery and H2 cars at present have safety issues though, but they can be resolved through engineering.
With cheap electrolysis, other longer hydro carbon based fuels can be synthesized that don't ad CO2 to the atmosphere too; as well as materials that can be synthesized.
But changing to these technologies will requiring planning, ie subsidies.
Just as building highways and interstate freeways and sewers and electrical grids and power plants and ports etc. have in the past and continue to today.

Xanthos the atmosphere wasn’t always that thick. However I agree with you that finding fossils is unlikely but instead because of the thick layers of solidified lava and ejecta from the intense volcanism that takes place on venus
Like Carl Sagan's "floaters"

And hunters, I like the sinkers tho, imagine living just to die in a few seconds lmao.
He imagined the floaters on Jupiter, but no one have ever applied it to Venus until now..
@@einradida-doba-badida8813
Floaters couldn't exist on Jupiter because the atmosphere is too violent and turbulent. Venus's upper atmosphere, where the conditions are comparatively suitable for life is also unfortunately turbulent. Plus, floaters were massive, city sized organisms, if they were to exist we would have known decades ago about them.
Nope. Sagan's idea was of a multicellular lifeform, here we are just talking about a possible single cellular one.
I thought it would be fascinating to go back to learn about the planet itself and to take on the enormous technical challenge of surviving in that habitat. (The Russian engineers did some amazing work to get their probe operating for any length of time, and since then weve created high temperature equipment that could extend the life of instruments to days, or even weeks.) I did not imagine new missions could be spurred on by the prospect of finding life...
-
Up in the atmosphere is a very different yet equally interesting challenge to the ground based probes, and whats the worst that can happen once the results are confirmed and such things should be considered? Developing new technology and probes, new understanding of biomarkers, and new chemistry to document. All of that could happen long before a single microbe is found. (Which Im not getting my hopes up for just yet.)

I literally cried..
Id assume its origins are from the same place as all the rest of the life we know of in the universe came from.. And is composed of. Where did life on earth come from? I couldnt have suddenly formed from nothing one day. Earth wasnt even around forever! It too was created at one point. Where it all ultimately comes from? Well im convinced we may never know**, but for now, a general / as vague as it gets kinda answer such as "cosmic dust" suffices.
**and this is due to our own ways. We can get along long enough to finish a meal FFS! We can't see each other as humans and thats it for shit! We're rapidly limiting the very precious time we have left on this planet, pissing it away like its our job. (The environment). The one thing humans have mastered, is killing eachother, we got that down. You think we'll suddenly, significantly, & drastically change before it's too late for the enviromment? Or rapidly advance as a race quick enough to become not only a space fairing species, but to also actually have a shot of making that work out long run, before we die with the planet? Or do you think we're gonna stick to our super petty ways and materialistic crap and worry about things that will never matter instead? The Kardashev rating of 1, for us? Its a fantasy only.. A depressing one.
U think when the sun was just forming when the sun was “smaller” Venus could’ve been in its habitable zone? And the expansion of the sun caused the green house gasses on Venus?
That sounds plausible
At 3:05 he says that it is plausible that venus could have been habitable
That's a very plausible and widely accepted hypothesis. There is some evidence that Venus in the distant past was a more temperate and Earth-like world for billions of years and could have even had an ocean that didn't boil away until sometime around a billion years ago. Here's a video discussing this evidence:
th-cam.com/video/lonB9NLBsQY/w-d-xo.html

i read about it ,but it's not true and not confirmed because the scientists say that the venus chemistry is different and complex so they don't know for sure. and it's stupid to jump to conclusions very quickly when we have not taken a portion of the soil there and there are planets that doesn't operate like our planet for example what we have is solid, liquid and gass and up there it might be something out of understanding like something far different from liquid, gas and solid.
for example color is an illusion because color comes from the reflection of the sun and all colors we see are from our sun and there are many suns if we replace them with ours we might see different colors and so on and so on.
there are many frauds about planets like Jupiter and also the moon itself.
There were some old movies that suggested that we would find life on Venus and romance it. 2020 is just the year of bizarre predictions coming true.
@@ahmadfrhan5265 colour depends on the wavelength of the light, when you see a red book, that is because red is strongly reflected. It's the same everywhere.
I watched the press briefing livestream. One of the most exciting parts of this, at least personally, has just been learning and getting excited about the process of discovery and dissemination itself! It's too early to tell of course but I feel like being (relatively) hooked into the initial stages of this might be a turning point in my own life, a signal that eventually I will be able to contribute to developments like these!
Fermi Paradox say's that if life (not inteligent) is everywhere ( bio-genesis), the chance of Great Filter to be in front of us rise.
I think cool world's older video on chances for intelligent life was convincing for showing that life can be common while intelligent life can be rare.
Hopefully we're at the final great filter hurdle. Get past the next century and the Galaxy will be ours.
2020 is the great filter
@@michaeljameskeating1348 im praying for it. I dont want us to die in the mud and forgotten
It can also means that the great filter is behind us and that living cells have a much harder time reaching the next step
If there is life there, that life is a reverse "alien". It evolved in acid. We can't make anything to survive Venus, it bloomed there. Amazing.
Xenomorphs have acid for blood. :)
@@serenablackroseheartlink xenomorphs don't exist
@@danielwoods3896 you don't know that
@@danielwoods3896 due to the near infinite nature of the universe they probably do
Daniel Woods If we have parasitic wasps on Earth, xenomorphs probably exist somewhere else in the universe.
Ofcourse in 2020 - Aliens Confirmed. :P
haha this year man
They year they'll also remember as the very beginning of how we spread the misery around and ruined their planet too.
Nonsense! Just go about your human business!
We will probably have an alien invasion in December at this rate.
I like how Kaleb has a bottle of Single Malt Scotch behind him while doing an interview for Cool Worlds
David: "Nothing beats an away team."
Starfleet introduces new crew of all red shirts.
We all know some of them will not make it back, right?
@@bradwhite5884 Don't worry they can just get more while the rest get eaten by the alien bacteria.
I am starting to think that we will find life during my lifetime
It's so exciting!!
Venusians:This is our Planet
Humans:”Our Planet”
Humans:- we discovered it
Venus:- Dude we live here...
Humans: - we have a nuke
@@victorgama3d496 venus:I have a zorper
I remember when they said Mars had liquid water on it only to find out later it was ice.
Yep! It’s so dry there and the atmosphere is so thin that, if that ice were to melt, it just become vapor.
The water on Mars only could be liquid because gravity on Mars are smaller than it on Earth which could easily evaporated
dannel s Yep! Sorta see it happen in Idaho as well. Wither it’s because of dryness, I don’t know. But some days either the snow melts, or it evaporates before it can melt.
@@sloggnznorgin6285 So there's no life in Idaho, got it. :P
Vrenshrrg Not much! 😅
"Life will find a way." Dr. Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park
*Life, uh, finds a way.
No we find life

Milky Way timelapses are so stunning, especially when you look at the horizon and see the Earth rotating and hurtling through space like a spaceship with its little radio telescopes ..
“We have just discovered life on Venus!”
Me: all hail tardigrades!
My favorite dehydratable mini bears!
One of the lunar rovers accidentally dumped some tardigrades on the moon recently.
Send the tardigrades!
Its probably tardigrades that have escaped from the ISS!
@@rapclooney1544 uhummmnn...accidently
Wow, what an incredible discovery! Hopefully it can be confirmed.
I’m gonna err on the side of caution and say, “Interesting, but probably not.”
Same. I'm always a skeptic about this type of stuff
Yea i always err on the side of caution but still super exciting. It's mathematically impossible were the only life in the universe. 100 billion galaxies, 100 billion stars per galaxy. Come on....
David Tatum
I agree, but he did a video on how we were likely the only intelligent life in the Milky Way. But if they found life in the most inhospitable environment in our solar system, it may mean that life is way more common than we thought, which would be cool in it’s own right.
@@davidtatum8682 No, it isnt impossible. It's highly unlikely, but not impossible.
@@Nikp117 the chances it is true we are the only things here is so very low and very close to impossible. But you're right. I still think without a doubt that there is more.
I'm cautious over this but hopeful as this will renew interest and open up so much new research in astrobiology.
I'm currently looking at this announcement and extremeophiles as part of my access to science course assignment, so have been reading a lot about it. It's certainly making my unversity choice between astrophysics and astrobiology harder, unless of course I can combine them.
Here's hoping life is confirmed Prof David Kipping @Coolworlds
"life in the clouds of Venus"
so we might have found the sky people?
More like sky bacteria
We found the kryptons
THE PEOPLE FROM MAGONIA
Where did Phosphine come from if not from the decaying of the bacteria - that's the key question.
Imagine being married to this guy? I would never get bored of listening to him 💙
Ha! Gaaaaaaaay!

What's wrong with all of you? So what if he is?
It’s 2020 guys, let’s grow up. It’s not 1950.
I know this video is old but man is this channel the best or what? I mean , I listen and watch as many of cool world lab vids as I can. For a research team to post their work and write papers on majorly big space related exploration just makes me tumescent. I feel more like I can vicariously keep flying though space and the heavens and be apart of these awesome discoveries, I eat this shit up though am not an astronomer, just with I was. Thank you cool world labs. Aloha
