  • J1407b, the "super saturn" or "saturn on steroids" doesn't exist. We've known it doesn't exist for years. So why do so many people still believe this exoplanet is real?

      Hi a little recommendation, at the start of the video you state that the planet does not exist. This is kind of misleading to people who might have clicked off the video very quickly. Saying something such as "does not exist as is shown by pictures in other videos" gives people a more clear and better understanding. Sorry if this sounds a bit stupid but it's probably best to clarify such stuff especially in an age where the internet is filled with click bait instead of full statements giving the full idea

      When I search it with Brave, I get "In 2007, J1407 was observed to be eclipsed and possibly orbited by at least one major body, 1SWASP J1407b (shortened as J1407b). J1407b is thought to be either a large gas giant planet or a brown dwarf with an immense ring system. Subsequent observations have not successfully detected J1407b, suggesting that it may be on a highly eccentric orbit around the star, or that it is a rogue object that coincidentally transited V1400 Centauri."

      When it comes to things that have less of an impact in the regular person's life, such as astronomy, this issue is really not much of a problem. Sure there are flat-enthusiasts and most likely always will be some small number of them, and the extreme casual "I-F*CKING-LOVE-SCIENCE" Facebook page types, but the real issue is in the scientific fields that do have a larger impact on everyday lives - like medical science.
      And the larger issue isn't just misinformation, it's the insane anti-scientific-process view held by people in high and mighty positions that say you cannot have any questions about what they're telling you, and any attempt to push against that being labeled as "anti-science" when science is the process of asking questions and making observations, putting it overly simply. That is what has driven a mistrust between the average people and institutions. The misinformation online about exoplanets and AI generated nonsense about faraway systems is annoying, but not really the root of the problem of mistrust in the lab coats so to speak.

    I'm glad videos like this exist, I was here on the very first video and saw everything go down and I can only imagine how hard it must've been to handle the amount of misinformation and people misinterpreting the video in the comments. As someone majoring in Astrophysics I see so much clickbait about exoplanets and interstellar objects and it sucks. Thank you dude ur a rlly great channel I look forward to what you'll do
    Also imo a brown dwarf with a protoplanetary disk transiting a star is a rlly cool event (and incredibly rare) and is so much cooler than a planet with big rings

  • @Vasari12

    While I'm a little bit bummed about J1407b not being a gas giant with humongous, marvelous rings, it's equally cool, if not cooler, that it may be a dwarf star with a proto-planetary disk passing between a distant star and us.
    The chances of this happening in time for us to witness are minuscule and it gives me a deeper appreciation for the size, scale and workings of the universe.

    Many people in the comments call this a lie, misinformation, or a myth. It was never any of those. It was simply a hypothesis that'd fit the initial observation. When a second observation of a transit was not seen, that changed the hypothesis.
    Science doesn't always give the truth, and sometimes just what we may know of that'd cause the observation.
    The persistence of the previous hypothesis is a different problem.

    I would hazard a guess that the Google front page description citing "from sources across the web" (shown at 4:46) is the most prominent culprit in keeping the disinformation-wagon rolling in regard to J1407b. BBC's "Sky At Night" Magazine either needs to take that misleading article down, or they need to update it with modern information. Honestly, with how often that Google front page/first result "from sources across the web" section seems to relay completely bogus information... they need to just scrap that idea entirely. If nobody is going to be fact-checking it and Google is just going to let it mislead and/or deceive people who are genuinely curious and searching for factual information, it's only going to do more harm than good.

    A solid foundation against misinformation, especially in science is truthfull and neutral education. An educational reform is needed to enable every child no matter from where they come from (poor, wealthy, etc..) to have high quality education. For later years organisations like NASA need to be invested in, maybe a bit too political but I think the US budget should rather favour space-travel, education, science related stuff as the military and R&D for it. Alos, NASA and every other organisation should have a clean and always up-to-date database and website so small issues do not correlate into bigger ones. Like the mentioned cycle of misinformation by Google using NASA's false entries as a source.
    Also, knowledge in form of books and papers should be free and accessible to the public. R.I.P. there to Aaron one of the founders of Reddit, who hacked the MIT to publish scientific journals, books, etc. to the public. He was a hero.
