The problem is these planets are 1,200 light years away, in other words it would take a ship traveling at 650,000,000 miles an hour 1,200 years to get there. A Mexican physicist has developed a theory for a "warp drive" that NASA says can be built. That's what we need to work on.
It is great watching people like her smile. As they talk about their stories life and discoveries. I'm guessing between now and 2015. Their has to be life out their. Otherwise I would not be here. HELLO The vastness of space is the biggest obstacle. Sorry I waded off topic. She makes me feel warm inside. A joy to watch respectfully. T ake Care
Why are you guys voting this guy down? He is answering his questions and correcting his mistakes. He isnt being an ass. Eduardo is being curious, and Vogel is helping him understand his curiosity more accurately. And you vote him down?
I am sorry but I laughed for five minutes when the panelists froze themselves at the end of the panel as the camera zoomed out. So worth watching till the end.
500 years ago the most advanced technology took 3 years to get Magellan around the world. 52 years ago the most advanced technology took 108 minutes to get Yuri Gagarin around the world. Some time in the future the prospect of travelling 1200 light years will be achievable with a human lifetime
People has to learn how to understand that this experiments are fundamental to us. It's dream and reality in raw action ! I am so glad I have watched. People need to see this !
That's a good point. I'm convinced Mars would have been a habitable planet right now if it had been the size of the earth. It was just too small to keep a thick atmosphere and a magnetic field. That certainly won't be a problem for Kepler 62f. It's my favorite extra-solar planet found so far!
Pretty sure what he means is that the habitable zone is a bit anthropocentric. There is a chance there is life on Titan, which means, essentially, there could be life on rogue planets without any star at all. Therefore, meaning the concept of a habitable zone at all is bunk.
NASA, The European Space Agency is currently constructing a 39m wide telescope for a little over a billion euros. Please set aside a few billion over the next couple of years to construct a larger interferometric telescope array with a total collecting area sufficient to image the closest exoplanets in detail! The JWST will teach us a lot, but for an equivalent price, we could have a much more powerful telescope (or telescope array) on the ground.
This is what makes me think Humanity still has a chance in this universe. NASA truly is the greatest man made company ever created. We should really be funding way more money to NASA. I would love to live and see the first humans go where no humans have gone before... Another Universe.
Orion spacecraft. They are continually working on things like ion drives, no specific plans on exactly when or where they will be used but it's like trying to generate a new kind of boat propulsion. You don't need to know where the propulsion system is going to take you or when, but you can be damned sure if you design a new boat motor that is faster cheaper more reliable or more snazzy someone is gonna use it.
to put it in simple terms, it;s like flushing a toilet. the gravity in the center will only attract the heaviest things around it. anything passing by will either be sucked in and become part of the system or, if it's too small, be thrown out.
Chomsky's main achievement was in the field of linguistics. People have been studying it since 500 BCE (Pāṇini) to the 1930's (Zellig Harris). Indeed, Chomsky built on earlier work of Zellig Harris to formulate the generative theory of language. But, Chomsky's scientific work was overshadowed by his political activism specifically, anarchism-which, he wrote a book on. Anarchy is defined as a condition of lawless brought about by the absence of government.Nothing is outlawed;not even murder.
I'm not sure the break strength of a rope would be high enough to handle the tension levels of towing a planet, if I'm honest. We'd probably need a metal chain
If they find a Super Jupiter, or smaller gas giant, or a rocky sub Neptune planet in the habitable zone, these (Jupiter/Neptune) size planets could have moons that are habitable... Just like in the " Avatar " movie!!
Someone did ask a similar question 'do we know if there are other planets in these systems' or somesuch. Their answer was 'patience'. The orbital period of the outer massive planets is much higher, this means we need to observe these systems for many more years before we can catch all the planets our instruments can detect. For example, if we were looking @ our system we would need to watch for up to 11 earth years to see jupiter.
They are very lonely. They're two thousand light-years from Home. It's all very lonely. It's two thousand light-years from Home. It's all thousands light-years from here. Thank you.
If you would not have asked the original question, a good question, I wouldn't have had the idea. Science is based on the question "How would it be possible...?" and its unfortunate when the immediate response to a question is ridicule. Your question was not dumb. While others dismissed your question and voted it down, we will all go much farther when help to teach each other what we know. My background is physics, engineering, robotics and maths.
Very interesting I enjoyed watching every bit of this. This is the most interesting thing in astronomy and that's finding other worlds around other stars
Although this is intresting, being 2000 light years away does not exactly excite me but it's a start. In time I believe we will find earth like planets that are much closer but even then we are not going to be able to go there. The distance between stars is so great. Star Trek is make believe. However, we should contine looking because this is exploring, if we don't spend all our money on manned expiditions that produce little to nothing.
Any money that goes towards increasing human knowledge and not towards your countries ridiculously inflated "defense" budget. Is probably a great first step towards getting "shit straight here".
It's good to have questions. Remember a hypothesis is an educated guess. So a hypothesis as to where we would find life would be based upon what we know works, because it works for us. If there are wider zones, great but how would we know? We start with what we know. Something similar to what we know for a fact works for Earth lifeforms, not just for humans, but what is viable for creatures large and small in earths biosphere. Try watching it again.
it, causing no atmo. cause it will be frozen on the ground. For a planet to spin off its atmo it would have to be spinning fast enough to move the atoms of air beyond escape velocity for that body. If that were the case the planet would be in trouble. Relativity states just that. Were the momentum of the planets rotation significant enough it's momentum (inertia-broadly viewed as it's period in your example) would spin off an atmosphere. But take that same spinning planet and increase its mass
Thank you! Imagine a sensory system sophisticated enough to "blank" starlight that is over a billion times brighter than the light reflected from the atmosphere of an exoplanet, picking a few spectral photons we wish to observe from the flood of starlight. Or a similar observation of earth where we wish to observe from orbit very minute and localized changes in our atmospheric H20-or in medicine-oximetry or CO2 levels in the breath of an infant from across the room in a neonatal care unit.
my sense is that the people are very confuse with the energy concept the time concept the mass concept and the space concept...the ISS only must change it orbital period for one higer that the perfect one in 1, and automaticlly the craft begin to go slowy and begin to get gravity force...make it and check the news....
Radiation including heat is a major issue for space travel and space hardware. Neutrons, neutrinos, gamma-rays and to a lessor extent x-rays are the most difficult to block. These are wonderful challenges for the minds and determination of our species to overcome. Producing water and fuel from the environment on Mars is a good idea and we need a moon base where we can learn to address challenges close to home...
and you would no longer spin off that atmosphere. because grav. would hold it down. simple force computation. But again, no examples of this have been seen that i know of. in the end the presence of an atmo will be determined by how much downward pull is being exerted due to gravity, not by weather or not the planet is spinning at 10% the speed of light. Relativity states that the various standard model forces are interchangeable, not that they are equally as powerful as each other.
In Star Trek, that's what the Deflector dish is supposed to be used for: To deflect the super light speed particles -- If you're going faster than the speed of light, then all other "stationary" particles are tachyons, relatively. So, you just enter a parking orbit, dissipate the energy, and Bob's your uncle.
I said this before and I'll say it again, Kepler will go down in history as one the most significant satellites humans will put into space. It routinely discovers new planets that we may one day set foot on.
Tha gravity cuantification to compare in any part in the space-time is function for thrre especials parameters, the orbital period, the size of the radius and the most important one is the polar plane...one more question...why you assume that the length to the star define completly the temperature on the surface and then the atmosphere compostion...
Hi Ric; there's a difference between science and practical engineering which considers everything from cost to human factors. Technology wise we're pretty smart right now and get smarter every day. If the survival of humanity depended on using Mercury as a gravity well to move other planets would we do it? If we can learn to work together politically as a species to protect our biosphere and address climate change and manage our resources fairly and intelligently then moving planets is trivial.
On earth we think we dont live in a extreme environment, but we do; 1 square foot on MARS gets about 12 lbs of atmospheric pressure on it.. on Earth 1 square foot has 2116 lbs of pressure in one square foot!!. So a martian would consider Earth an extreme environment.. I could imagine aliens from a low density planet homeworld coming to earth and looking at the birds flying around like we look at fish they'd explain Earth to their homeworld as a gaseous fish tank! They'd be very frail (if this actually is possible)
I think that the wobble stars are a small sun. our sun is big, i don't think our sun is wobbling. inner code's magnetic shielding might be holding tight on our earth.
It would be hundreds of thousands of years to get there using todays space ships. it would cost trillions or more, and would need 1) a giant rotating space arc or 2) a fleet of smaller space arcs flying in a fleet. It would need enough genetic diversity to not develop problems.
Okay, we can do that in a thought experiment. Let's say we're not in a big hurry here. We put a plant on mercury that uses solar energy to build self replicating solar panels that self assemble over a long period of time into an ever growing solar collector which also ultimately acts as a solar sail, growing exponentially but deployed in a specific fashion. Then it's just a matter of gravitational billiards using the Mercurial graviational well as a cue ball. A good story -all rights reserved

I like the way Dr. Kaltenegger speaks. She so happy! ^^

Excellent point Vogal M. Mars Direct is a very exciting project and the engineering is on going.

Re- watch they might talk about a possibility of living in a planet similar to the earth

What are you seeing? To me, they look as ease as most scientists usually do. That is, maybe they're more used to doing rather than talking. *shrugs*
Thanks for saving six minutes of my life. These introductions can drag on a bit.
Me too! I wish NASA had a bigger budget.
People has to learn how to understand that this experiments are fundamental to us. It's dream and reality in raw action ! I am so glad I have watched. People need to see this !
There are no "pictures" of the planets, it works by detecting the distortion of its star as the planet passes.
That's a good point. I'm convinced Mars would have been a habitable planet right now if it had been the size of the earth. It was just too small to keep a thick atmosphere and a magnetic field. That certainly won't be a problem for Kepler 62f. It's my favorite extra-solar planet found so far!
An atmosphere, water and an iron core would have helped. But have you seen photos of the Sun from Mars? Looks like a bright star. Brrrr.

Try Googling for "How are planets found?" They even explain it in this video around 8 minutes in. :) Good luck .
I have an HD 42 inch monitor.
And I hate spiders.
I almost smashed my very expensive screen because of your portrait.
absolutely, im thinking even thicker than those cable car wires....
Yes, you're right. I was thinking more about complex macroscopic life, not life in a broad sense. Thanks for the reply. I learned a lot.
Wow this was 6 years ago..we have many of these planets now..only a matter of time we find earth 2

I wish we could just sort out how to stop destroying the amazing planet we live on & explore the possible not the impossible !!!!
NASA, please include the presenters' names in the description.
When the Jwb Telescope goes up in 2018 we will know if these far away planets will have oxgen or otheir gases.
They discovered the Klingons, Romulans, Borg, Tholians and the Gorn.
No, he is correct. You are wrong.
Speed of light is about:
300,000 km per SECOND or
670,000,000 miles per HOUR
One day we'll look back at the reference to 'habitable zone' and laugh.

Jupiter & Saturn's moons Europa & Titan prove it is possible... Europa, in the habitable zone would be a water world! Titan has atmosphere!!

Nice name nice job
In real life i heard he is a planet hunter.
They are developing new propulsion systems. :)
Roger Hunter is a Planet Hunter :D
the stars is 2.5 billions older.. if life exist they would be so advanced

I rather live on earth till I die instead of adapting to the time or the technology
Great presentation! Thank you!
Did you think about it before giving up?
this is awesome knowing theres lots and lots of planets and more suns :D

we found life deep within frozen water on earth that is -125C and they live fine.
star clusters is the key to fine another identical earth
Gravity comes from mass, not speed/size/radius.

Thank you very much, NASA
Liquid water is the medium of nucleic acid based life

ok is there human life on these planets? how long till we can go there?
Yes we can call it habitable why the sun is bigger so is the planet and the distance is just the right amount

Ok, we've found planets, how about pushing resources into space travel?
It would take us 5 mio. years to get there at 70 km/s (Helios 1 top speed). Let's fund warp drive research.
