      That's a shallow way of thinking since that's not even an important factor of human life on Earth. If anything, an out of space assistance in curing cancer, Alzheimer's and all dementia forms would be a more life-changing discovery.

    No. K2-18 b is a super Earth exoplanet that orbits an M-type star. Its mass is 8.92 Earths, it takes 32.9 days to complete one orbit of its star, and is 0.1429 AU. Its star is highly unstable. K2-18 b is too close to the star. At mass 8.92 x Earths this is more like a Hot Jupiter. Neptune is four times the diameter of Earth and 17 times the mass. So no.

    • @theeddorian
      @theeddorian 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Irrefutable evidence can only be obtained by visiting a planet and finding life, and that requires our being _able_ to recognize life when we find it. JWST and other instruments can acquire suggestive but not irrefutable evidence. Even landers can be problematic. Look at the argument over the Viking Lander experiments. It's still an open question whether life was found or not. The pro and con arguments are both good, but not definitive.

    Second model seems to fit better in the case of K2-18 b, at least under the logical thinking of gaseous planets to be the most common reality in what we know so far. When we invert the way we search, more promissing results will come. What I mean is this: Stop searching red dwarfs, it is totally pointless as space weather around them is full of UV and x-rays, their planets don't have magnetic fields because there is no dynamo effect, and as a result they are not protected even with the thickest atmospheres. K and G stars ONLY can give promises, and planets with radii smaller than 2 Earth radii.

    I know a way to find earth type planets. When you look at the solar system, really look, you will see how matter itself has life embedded patterns in it. Meaning, just like plants, all matter has life giving patterns.
    So, look for Orc clouds around star systems. This will provide the easiest way to determine if there are stable worlds in the star system. The reason why is because of how Orc clouds are generated through time. Matter will arrange itself much like genetics. And does so to provide protection and nurturing.
    When you really look at our system from far out, it would look like a cell. So you want to look for similar looking cells. So first, look for Orc clouds or spheres around the star or stars.
    I am not sure if the instrumentation to survey like this exist, but if not, someone may want to save humanity a lot of time by making it.
