Oxygen? Bah! That's no sign of life. Look for Plutonium. It doesn't occur naturally. So if you detect Plutonium on an exoplanet, somebody must have made it. Obviously, life is more than the sum of parts.

Please cut the videos to 5 minute chunks and i can translate English to Japanese. i once had a student ask me to translate a speech into English for him on UFO propulsion systems. Admittedly it was over my head. i had only been an Alt for 3 years at the time. i think they use nuclear fusion. that would explain the radiation at Travis Walton incident.
We don't even know what makes a planet "habitable" other than the one example we know about. There could be lots of habitable planets that are in no way similar to earth.
+Richard BENNETT true enough, so it depends what we mean when we say "habitable". It can mean "habitable to us" but can also mean "habitable to some form of life", e.g. if we find microbes deep under the surface in the moons of Jupiter would we say such a celestial body is habitable? Of more interest is what makes a planet habitable for *intelligent* life (perhaps "like" us, perhaps not), and it seems this is: (a) the presence of simple life providing the initial biosphere / food chain, etc (b) evolution surviving through the various contingencies that any planet is subject to over time (c) some "special" evolutionary contingency that permits a body form capable of tool use to accelerate brain development beyond basic survival needs to abstract thought It may be that (a) and (b) are relatively common but (c) is not. Jury is still out. Anyway, the first thing to look for is a biosphere, indicated by presence of elements (perhaps oxygen) or other compounds that are contrary to normal chemical balances that seek highest entropy states. This would indicate presence of some "organizing influence" that uses energy to create order from disorder. This to me is the broadest definition of life. We can note that earth-like creatures are oxygen-breathing but oxygen does not occur naturally as a gas in high quantity. It is very reactive and will usually bond to form compounds - H2O and C2O being notable. Presence of high quantities of free oxygen in any atmosphere is likely to indicate presence of some form of life. The same applies to other possible chemistry. We can also note that terrestrial earth-like creatures have body forms strongly dictated by earth's gravity. It appears that earth is toward the "smaller" scale of planet size and there may well be more planets that are "middle" size - somewhere between size of earth and gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. The body forms on higher gravitational planets are likely to be more stunted (perhaps less amenable to effective tool use). Even if such planets had suitable atmosphere our bodies would not be strong enough to cope normally. We would be quite paralyzed and forced to remain prone. So whilst I suspect life itself may be quite prevalent I also suspect life "like us" is rare. Evolution does not have specific direction and results may vary. This leads me to also suspect any alien intelligent life could be very threatening. We humans have a tendency to fight other humans due to simple cultural differences so imagine how we would treat a totally unrecognizable but highly intelligent life form with little in common except control over advanced technology. Such differences may be irreconcilable with survival of the species. Thankfully cosmology has an in-built protection - vastness - separation over space and time, so hopefully there should be enough room for galactic colonization to proceed without reverting to conflicts.
Mark Collins sorry but distance and time ( which are the same ) has to solve FTL or dimensions jump) or forget any encounter. Made a calculation for a humanity 150000 years and then the age of the first planet which had intelligent life. Here on earth only one spices made into space. Sorry the numbers are nearly so little for encounter an alien ship, that drakes equation and Fermi the known paradox makes me severely sceptical ever to encounter intelligence, not circumstantial evidence because the atmosphere will change because of exhaustion etc. So far nothing. But life yes , alien encounter is highly unlikely. And I hope I’m so wrong. Information can’t be faster than light, and the expansion of the universe is beyond light speed. So these galaxies are moving away from us beyond the speed of light . ( the local observer )
**I'm encouraged by the number of people who are viewing this information!!!!!! Maybe,, just maybe, this will begin to raise ,the level of consciousness,,, on our planet!!!!!**
I loved watching Sera explain her projects, you can just see how absolutely passionate she is about her work. It was a bit cringe worthy to see the host keep interrupting her.
I just caught a remark on Saturn that the planet has chemical lakes all planet in solar system explode micros into solar system switch eventually land somewhere those hold life
There is emerging ancient narratives all around the world which suggest visitations. The sheer volume of writings and stories about creation is compelling in itself.
It's hotly debated that microbial life crash landed on earth inside meteors which kick-started growth, in which case we are all aliens, that at some point invaded from outer space.
I can attest to these facts. I've spent the last few days pulling "weeds" KNOWING they are many species of aliens who are taking over our planet. Nothing stops them. Nothing kills them. They only return: faster, more dangerous, and more virulent. Why wont our government and our scientists start working on this problem before it's too late?
Once I read a short comic about an old scientist who made contact with an alien ship about to visit Earth. The aliens look exactly like big flies, and when they came to the old man's house they were immediately sprayed to death by his daughter. Before dying they sent transmission to their home planet that Earth is hostile to them.
It isn't a lecture, but I agree it was very rewarding and worth the time. Some data was a little outdated already, which is amazing and telling about how new these fields are in getting good data. Kepler has been like the only good source. Can't wait for JWST.
Lmao Goldschlager! 🤣 I didn't know anyone drank that stuff anymore haha it brings me back to high school thinking about that. I had a friend that drank so much of that stuff that he literally had golden speckled shits 🤣🤣🤣 lol
@@Xander-pg5ly Same here. Don’t know whether his shits gleamed with gold, but it was so strongly cinnamon that he could slam it in the bathroom and go right back to class.
I studied astronomy in college, have found it very interesting 🤔. Now these days I enjoy hearing & watching the discoveries, that are made. Now with the new Kepler we're learning more & more.
They will be looking for evidence of liquid water on the planets located in the habitable zones. It has been said that everywhere you find water on earth (a habitable zone planet) you find life.
Yes, firstly is need to verify the extraterrestrial life (fossils - I think - from Mars - it is a biggest possibility); I have one sample in the my case🤭 - the suspect meteorite with primitive life signs...
1:02.00 that old guy has got it wrong..he mentions life forms living in salt, because the salt can absorb moisture from the air, and he calls it deliquescence...well he's a not quite right there. The common salts that are from these dried up seas are mostly sodium chloride. These sea salts are not deliquescent, they are in fact just hygroscopic, meaning that they can absorb water vapor, but not to the point where they keep absorbing it and become a liquid , that is in fact the nature of a deliquescent substance, such as potassium hydroxide, Zinc chloride, ammonium acetate etc. Subtle but important difference.
If distance affects the way we see visible light, for instance super far stars looking visibly red due to it being so far, how would that affect our ability to actually know what gases make up a planet’s atmosphere?
That's a good question?? ... I think that other elements emit rays or some forms of their presence from those stars and they can detect their spectrums.. like a barcode.
My thing is, the universe acts kinda like a camera.. if I takes millions of years for that light to reach us, how do we if a lot of that stuff is still there or in it's original state.
Only thing that bugs me when people talk about potential alien life. They always say it NEEDS to have water, NEEDS to have oxygen. Says who? That’s just how life here on earth evolved, who’s to say that life on another planet didn’t evolve to breathe something else? Who’s to say that life somewhere else didn’t evolve to need COMPLETELY different things than what animals need here on earth?
I think Fred Hoyle got it right: "The rules of evolution are universal so when we finally encounter alien intelligent life, either (1) it will be so like us we will be disappointed, or (2) it will be so different the debate will not be about is it intelligent but is it life." Because novels and movies always go for (1), he wrote a novel: "The Black Cloud" to illustrate option (2). It should be compulsory reading for anyone thinking about alien life/intelligence.
The rules of evolution maybe the same but there are so many different factors that even if they are just 1% different could mean an entirely different civilization. To think that we are only that gorillas and apes are only 2% different than humans oh, so our 2% different look at what we have created. I truly believe that the bigger Factor will be consciousness and how far along or not along a species has become. For example if an alien life-form landed here today I do not expect that they would have any idea how to relate to us any more than we know how to relate to animals. The reason being we have egos imagine the species intelligent but void of ego they would be completely different
@@GinoNL I'm a female I'm so sick of these call Billy improved women they've destroyed the world. And then you have nutcases like this thinking women are are all. When we should be home raising property children instead of nutcases. I think the largest amount of nutcase concentration is in Canada
@@CX-ru1ql I am amazed that you deride her so. On the contrary, lady, you should be proud that women like her are at the forefront in many fields. Gender should not matter, must not matter, in many fields today.
Our first actual space explorers, who will go "out there" searching for alien intelligences, will be androids designed to represent our species - not flesh and blood types. And the first "aliens" they will encounter (perhaps long after humanity has gone extinct, and earth has become a burned out cinder - perhaps much sooner) will almost certainly be other androids designed to represent some other intelligent life form that lives (or lived) on some other planet in some other part of the galaxy.
Your talking about human habitation on planet earth. We have no idea what kind of environment, every single species of other terrestrial's would possibly need to thrive.
Well you have to work from the known to the unknown. The way dinosaurs look today is due to our current understanding of mainly reptilian anatomy. That being said you are correct and the way we expect dinosaurs to look may well be wrong. To get total population the best way is to physically count each individual but we don’t do that either and it seems to be working.
@@Brad-il9mw yes but we have evidence such as fossils and evolved offsprings of dinosaur to compare too. In the galaxy it could be life made from harder materials lives in pools of ammonia. Or that the vacuum of space is full of behemoth organic animals that are giant and live off of sunlight alone. We don’t know what we don’t know. Also our visible lights only see so much, there could be life at an energy and vibration level unobservable to us but present all around. Scientists can and should use these methods from earth of course, but reality isnt limited to it
@@Brad-il9mw The idea is that given an E.T. species were to be able to come & live on earth or already is here, would we even recognize it as being not from this planet.
What a magnificent panel of experts. I visit this channel to enrich my brain nevertheless it’s far from my education. But all the guests to explain and expand information about the topic were so knowledgeable that was very enlightening and encouraging over the possibility than not far from now we’ll know more about our existence and also hope for its future. TVM
Its frightening to see what damage control can really do when the media put out thier agenda like this..people who say they've a brain believing in aliens planets and outer space..dumb the fxck on 😫😭
Great Job and I Love the title! My Corundum is exactly that. When I am in this certain area and take pictures and videos of things while there, the photos reveal and render a different image than what I see when there. The area has activity covered in ufology history and is what the photo renders is that what's really there. it takes a couple of days to see all the change that has occurred when looking at the original. I recently revisited the area and is so weird that is like its there we just can't see it! but the camera does. this is the second time , or is it abnormal for this to occur....
@@unnamedchannel1237 I'd have to watch it again to get the TimeStamp; it happened at the end of her first talk when he said something smarty pants. It was a slight eye roll but it looked to me like it counted...
If quantum physics suggests a conscious observer is needed to break the wave function would this science also not suggest that there may be a way to detect for consciousness itself? as Without a conscious observer matter should be in wave function should it not? .
3:58 off the bat, and this may come up later, but i was watching a video by brian greene where he is talking about near light speed journeys with crews that expect those journeys to take a hundred, or perhaps hundreds of years, crewed by populations rather than a few. if that were to happen that crew would be on a one way trip, back on home planet the amount of time passing would mean likely their home civilisation would disappear, or disseminate at best, and if you sent out a hundred ships with a variety of journey times, those ships would be well out of sync with each other, what i'n getting at is that even if everywhere in the universe developed civilisations and sent them out on interstellar journeys, at lighr speeds, then everyone would be out of sync - perhaps none of the arrivals would occupy the same period in history, no one would be aware of anyone else because they occupy a different time line. maybe this is why we don't find evidence of life, they came and went, or they are still en route, but given the amount of "time" there is in the universe, we're just out of sync. and what i was going to say is, why planets? if you are a echnologically advanced civilisation capable of space travel, why would you live on a planet? okay search for "life" on other planets, but you won't find anything that has had space travel for any length of time.
Huh? Lol u keep bringing up "time" as if it's a factor. It looks to me like they can travel through time, so time is irrelevant. It's kind of like you are making them sound like some dumb drunk driving aliens not in sync. I would have to disagree with this theory bc if they have the intelligence to defy the laws of physics, I think they wouldn't have a problem being in sync with each other.
@@Trey-ny7wh Time is a key factor, im not sure if you know what time dilation is man. We can reach the relatively closest stars without "defying laws of physics" the theory is totally plausible we just don't have the technology and materials yet. Getting rid of time dilation is theoretically NOT posible by any means, traveling to stars which are not ridiculous light years distance IS.
I believe they are here. Many many many years ago and many many years forward in time. I don’t remember his name but he is convinced he seen a space ship from the year 8100 and he thinks it was us sent back in time. Of course I’m sure it’s possible. Although they could be robots sent back in time
@UCt4556LWXpERkN2KarToopg No, but I do keep up with David Paulidas and The CanAm missing project. People being plucked off of the side of a cliff, off their ropes, people who disappear where their footprints just stop in 4 feet of snow, 2 year old kid’s who goes missing for 5 hours and are then found 40 miles away in the middle of the woods with clean white socks, etc… people who just disappear from a hiking trail & then 6 hours later they find their boots and then 30 miles away they find them dead in the middle of a muddy river with clean white socks. No dog’s can ever find a trail from one spot to another. Hundreds of people who disappear from the National park’s and then they claim they don’t keep a list of people who go missing from the park’s which is a lie because they keep lists of fish that’s in their park’s, but not people!! No it’s definitely aliens taking people and the whole world knows it now thanks to David. Our government is slowly beginning to tell us the truth and in case you don’t know they already came forward and admitted that their ships the UFO’s are real
@@lysergic4169 the stories that these guys come up with are no different than the stories that religious leaders come up with! It's my contention that even the first religious leaders were also the first scientist and vice versa!
@@Myron_X They're not stories, they're talking about observable characteristics of exoplanets and stars using orbital telescopes, custom-built software and analyzing the way and frequency with which starlight dims. Taking precise measurements to detect exoplanets is not the same as telling stories or speculating about life in the galaxy.
Pls can any of you people describe what is it that's happening at Skinwalker Ranch? Have you seen the program and if so then what do you have to say about it.
I always laugh when "top insiders" say that "people will go crazy" on the day ET arrives in plain sight. More likely the insiders will go crazy because their game will be over and ours will be just starting.
Seriously! I think it would be the opposite....it would inspire us to know it's a big universe out there and if we come together as a species, we too will one day get to the aliens level. I think it might save the world in a lot of ways. But the a-hole power brokers would lose a lot of their power i suspect
Finally we will know the truth. I dreamed about this as a child. Did anyone own/read the Time Life books Mysterious Creatures, Psychic Voyages, Transformations and etc.?
god bless astronomers, it takes a lot of passion to spend whole nights inside an observatory looking at basically dots of light and whole days in front of a computer analysing data
I could never understand the life that is almost most definitly out there,obviously is more advanced by milleniums,that while we look for life ON other planets,no-one has even broached the possibility of life IN the planet's?
Charles Hood like in the anime Gurren Lagann, I’ve actually thought about that too and it would make sense if the surface of the planet was too hot or too cold but the inside was habitable for life
Aliens live with us here on earth in a parallel dimension. Sometimes the 4th dimension reveals itself and we chalk it up as a ghost or spirit haunting us!
Do they factor red shift into spectroscopy... And how do they measure atmospheric composition when our best equipment can only see solar system sized features however many light years away? Like thats the resolution of the equipment that 'photographed" that black hole in that newer picture and even that's grainy with little detail compared to what's down on smaller levels like planets....
Why look for life in space when we can't even understand each other? If we did find other civilizations, do we really think we could restrain ourselves from plundering & pillaging?
It's easy when it's physically impossible to interact in person. And any civilization we interacted with in person would be not because we found them but they found us - we'd havee to hope that the social structure required to become that advanced and survive long space trvael would have removed any tribal urges that would lead to fucking us up
93 billion light years in the universe. We can not travel one light year yet. It takes us about 37 thousand years to complete one light year. The answer is no we’re not alone and one of this days we’re going learn the unfortunate news
It would give our civilization a big boost in consciousness if these types of people went through a guided heavy dose of the sacred psychedelics and look within.
@@ramaraksha01 you clearly are speaking from a place of ignorance. So, allow me to enlighten you. Lsd and mushrooms don’t make you hallucinate in a manner in which you see dragons and bowling turning into butterflies that fly away and then turn into gold coins and fall to the floor and blossom into flowers. That’s not a thing. These drugs altar how you see real world objects yes, but they don’t make you see wild new things. However, the hallucinogenic effect is not that which they would be after. These drugs also make you introspective and make portions of your brain communicate with other areas that don’t normal communicate at such a high level. On top of that, studies have shown lsd, mushrooms, and subsequently dmt, when micro dosed, promote neurogenesis. For the laymen, brain cells do sexy time. Don’t speak out of your ass and dismiss everything out right because you have some preconceived notion about the object/concept.
Homing in on the topic "will we know it when you see it?". If the history of life on earth is anything to go on, emergence of highly intelligent species took a long time, and if we can categorize humans in the last few hundred years as "technologically advanced" this is a mere cosmic blink in time. If other intelligent species arose elsewhere the probability is they did so many thousands or millions of years ago. That is, they would be vastly VASTLY more technologically advanced than us newbies. In other words, the chances that another species is "similar to us" is infinitesimally small - they will either be primitive life forms or vastly superior beings. SETI has failed to find any evidence of the latter, so we might assume, even if life is pervasive, the emergence of technologically advanced species is rare, but if they exist, they would certainly see us as primitive (in military terms it would be a no contest). They would also ensure we never evolve to be superior (the same way we would ensure chimpanzees never gained technological superiority over humans). Hence, if they exist at all, they will ALWAYS be our superiors. Are we prepared for that? Being alone has some benefits :)
+Paul Wagner We're only "advanced" compared to our own past. There's no reason to assume a linear "less" to "more" advanced path to technology in general. It depends on what resources are available, and the factors that shape the organism's perception of its world. A smart slime mold might develop fluidic computers long before building pyramids or starting fires.
+James McManus sure...in no sense is progression limited to linear, Earth is a case in point where this has been punctuated and now could be considered exponential. Life has evolved for 3.5 billion years. There's no reason to assume that higher intelligence needs that long (or short). Imagine it took only 2.5 billion years so that this intelligent species had a billion year head start on advanced technology !!! Mind-boggling. But I would suggest that "less" to "more" more-or-less (excuse the pun) sums up what we mean by "advanced", i.e. from simple to complex (technology). And I think we can gauge "advanced technology" independently from our own past by using universal reference points, such as ability to apply technology by controlling the electromagnetic force (we have some capability), quantum mechanics (we are primitive), gravity (we are nowhere), and eventually bio-engineering and cosmic re-engineering to achieve control over the universe for our ongoing survival, At present we are a niche species occupying a tiny pond in the universe. We are adapted only for that habitat - our biology shaped by earth's physics (gravity, energy supply, etc), chemistry and biology (water, atmosphere and nutrients). This biosphere is a product of millions of years of organic life. Without life, earth's chemical composition would be vastly different and almost certainly lethal to an unprotected human. Hence our chances of finding another "earth" UNINHABITED are realistically zero. Only teeming diverse life can create the kind of biosphere we need . Of earth like rocks in space (i.e. no life) there may be many but they would be UNINHABITABLE without planetary re-engineering including creation of a biosphere. Big job on a far away rock. Of course life may be adapted to very different conditions and hence take a radically different form - ALIENS. This all leads back to my original point: - Worlds that are uninhabitable to humans can only contain no life, or quite alien life. We might hope these remain primitive as advanced aliens with very different biological needs will pose some threat. - Worlds that are inhabitable to humans must have biology. If any have achieved "advanced technology" they are likely to be vastly more advanced than us (a coincidence where we both reached the same point within few hundred, or even few thousand years of each other seems an infinitesimally small chance). - Some glimmer of hope is offered by intelligent life converging towards artificially engineered beings that are designed to adapt to a diverse range of conditions found in the universe. IMO this is the most likely path to "galactic societies"
+Paul Wagner I like your conclusion of artificially engineered life. I do not think we (life) can rule out the idea of our evolution from a biological stance to a mechanical one until we learn more. I also agree that SETIs lack of interesting discoveries are interesting in itself. SETI's reach is small though compared to what we have seen in Hubble an the VLT. I disagree with your use of probabilities of intelligent life being more advance though. Lack of evidence does not give us the ability to assert the contrary. Evidence of the contrary has to exists for us to assert it. There are simply two many unknowns at this point. Homo Sapiens have been around for 100,000 plus years. In light of how long what you or I would consider intelligence. You had some interesting comments though., thanks for your insights.
I don’t think they would stunt our advances evolutionary wise. They’ve been here before and still visit today . I think thrust wsnt us go advance. I do think they study us the way we do animals but they’re not malicious. They are more advanced emotionally than humans . Humans destroy everything. Our technology is laughable
Does anyone else see the similarity between Sara Seager and Jodi Foster’s character in “Contact”. She is obviously dedicated to the science and facts wherever it may lead…even if it’s nowhere.
I truly appreciate the time these experts put into the study of our future & organizations like the World Science Festival putting together these panels to enlighten & educate the general public however, the moderator proved to be a detractor from this particular event. His cheeky attempts at humor seemed to only waste valuable time these experts had to share. Additionally, I found his repeated talking over of the experts to be extremely disrespectful & a blatant lack of professionalism. He actually made a comment to the affect of the Arizona Diamondbacks sucking this year & I have NO idea what his opinion has to do with the search or understanding of life outside our planet. I look forward to more of these events as I’m eager to hear about the hard work & speculation these experts put into the future of humanity however, I hope it is done with a more reserved & professional moderator.
These “experts” gave very simple explanations to everything, honestly this was the most boring video I have ever seen. My friends and I had conversations about as in-depth as this in high school.. these scientists better not have jobs, especially if that’s all the info they have got for everyone. They taught nothing new, just an update.. They still haven’t figured anything new out. Sad honestly. However the moderator, I agree has really cheeky comments that never make sense.
Relax weirdo, the moderater doesn't owe you jack shit. Only a self entitled dipshit would complain about a free TH-cam lecture. Get over yourself, you're not important. Next time go pay someone for their knowledge

There is a red algea like substance which has surfaced into existence throughout india. It has been coming down in the rain. This lifeform is spreading rapidly. It is being studied currently and has many anomolies different from common existing algea we know of. It just appeared is what many were saying.. it begs the question..where did it come from?
At 58:00 Mr Davis mentions only one known example of life from non life but actually, thats only 1 POSSIBLE example. Also, life can survive meteoric space rides but how the heck would it escape into the new environment without mechanical assistance?
@@Insomble Terrestrial life, (aliens), are higher forms of life outside their environment. Humans have observed this. It was only themselves though; going into space, landing on the moon, sending alien craft and robots to Mars etc.....
Don’t know why but the most notable thing I got out of this is how interested the Vatican was to find out how close we are to CONTACT! I wonder what preparation they are making? Did they give a sigh of relief ! I would love to have been there!
This is a very intellectual and inspiring discussion. We need more discussion like that to train our kids and grow up with this knowledge, pattern, and understanding of our universe. WSF is a great forum. Thank you for sharing.
He immediately needs to lose the arrogance and gain some polish. He takes people right out of the moment. We DIDN'T click to hear HIM talk! Um....um....um... Uh... Maybe he is trying to bring it down to the level of the audience- he needs to realize the audience in any niche category of this nature is already expected to be somewhat educated. They are not illiterate drunk 15 year olds.
43:18 when he starts talking about how we will find out If we are not alone.. its super weird how much it's actually matching up with what's going on right now 🤯🤯🤯
Good forum, with one exception, the moderator. Sometimes very much on the mark, other times just stammering along, and worst of all trying to be clever, and failing. It's a serious subject, knock off the comedy routine.
Seagan's reactions were priceless. At 19:14 he interrupts her first point with lame joke. 19:47 interrupts her second point to make her look like she's still a grad student. 2:35.. once again.. It's as if he doesn't care what she has to say.. he can't seem to focus... or doesn't want the audience to for some subconscious reason. He's not a good host and I wish they'd stop using him.
Uh..... life wouldn't just be on planets. They'd be on anything. Moon. Planet. Asteroid. Ship. Station. Space liquid we haven't discovered yet lol. Could be a form we can't detect or even interact with. Could be life on the sun. Life don't have to exist the way we do.
I believe that life forms may exist in atmospheric conditions that are not inhabitable by life as we know it, making the limitation of possible planets increase.
The search for life is inherently limited by criteria used to define aliveness and, what we are really looking for is intelligent life that we could somehow communicate with but there might be many many forms of life that are aware to at least the degree humans but can we communicate to each other? We might not be able to communicate and they might not have autonomous individuals with language they might simply have roles in society based on morphism that could be gender or age dependent, they might be hive structured or they might not communicate at all and it could still be intelligent life. Add in lifespan, attention span, persistence of memory span, curiosity levels and, modes of perception: what happens to mathematics if the species sense is something like smell but limited to contact range? What would its thoughts be like, how would they "talk" to each other? What would it it think of are art? Or Euclidian geometry? Or, Plato's favorite shapes (that dude basically worshiped regular polygons)? We cant agree on a definition for life here but, we are trying to find it on other planets that litteraly hundreds to thousands of lightyears distant from the earth- A lightyear for those who dont know is 5,000,000,000,000 miles long, counting 1 number per second it takes 158548.95+ years to get to 5 trillion- finding intelligent life in the universe is a rather daunting task.
@Michael King ✋ I second that... This comment is undeniably an underrated one - it is a nod to just how unobtainable the capacity to even have the conversation of THINKING about TRYING to wrap just ONE MORSEL of a brain cell around this sort of thing... It's just - I have no words
It’s frustrating when people just think of one way. Space is not a waste. I don’t know where to begin: why don’t you consider life in forms not previously recognized? Life outside the universe which is perfectly logical and natural. Thanks for this. Life actually did start in an ocean, but not that ocean. I actually have answers to all the questions he asks around 43 minutes. They are automatically answered by the nature of the alien intelligence communication.
I'd lay money that we're already seeing it and just don't recognize it for what it is. I think life is the rule, not the exception. we live on life quite possibly, and some of the moons are children of some of the gods,er..i mean...planets. who knows such things?
I've seen two crafts, two different times. One was a 2.5 foot tall bell shaped one that appeared in my inground swimming pool. It shot a stream of water out of the side that arched about 16 foot over the pool and after about 20 seconds just vanished, slowly fading to nothing. Was october 2009.

Shouldn't they always be saying these systems have "at least" so many planets? How many orbital periods don't align perfectly to give us a transit measurement with their star? Hasn't it got to be much more than those that do?
The host wasn't very good. The panelists had to adjust and adapt to accommodate his questions and statements. Maybe a host with specific interest and background of the topic would be more adept at steering the conversation and extracting insight and information.

@Jesse Lewis I would prefer being a fool than to acquire the human version of intelligence. To our Creator? The intelligence of men is foolishness. Jesus will be coming soon, not the aliens. If they are the aliens, perhaps you should do some research into their true origin?. Thank you for the compliment.
I think Sara is brilliant at explaining complex theories and did exceptionally well as the only woman on the panel. The men seemed to treat her as a curiosity which is rather misogynistic. We need more women like her in science and in media. Men dominating everything is boring because it is rather one sided and frankly primitive.
They aren't misogynistic, they are awkward nerds. Many times speaking a second language. Sara is a what if scientist. Meaning her, as well as these guys, are being paid decent money to waste money on planets that are forever unreachable. 500 ly is 500 years on a bus at light speed. I'll pass.

Our planet is becoming trash.
The only person stopping women from getting into the stem fields is women. We have had equality for a while now, even in the liberal Scandinavian dream scape where they made equality law; women still chose the same jobs, because they realized most of the jobs we do suck ass, and they know they dont WANT to do it.

21:29....isn't just looking for oxygen signal in a planets light spectrum a limiting way of inferring that life is present ? After all Earth most certainly absolutely had life well established prior to the great oxygenation event caused by the photosynthesizing Stromatolites. Who's to say that the life we find, which is most likely going to be microbial, is also more likely to be anaerobic simply because that is going to be the primary energy source for microbes to use and evolve with, like bacteria using hydrogen sulfide, or even oxides of nitrogen ! Are we deliberately ignoring or discounting these types of scenarios simply because we don't WANT to find potential real estate filled with a poison atmosphere ??!!
Super late reply, but the concept is that complex life is far more likely to rapidly evolve to become aerobic than anaerobic because of how simple and easy it is to provide energy via oxygen. All complex life on Earth is only possible _because_ of the great oxygenation event you spoke about. Before oxygen, life was not able (as far as we can tell) to produce large complex life forms due to physical limitations of terrestrial biology and the chemical requirements for those complex structures. This tells us that if there is complex life out there, conditions might be more likely be similar to what we had than be much different. Since we're not looking for a world that has fresh juicy brand new life, but established worlds colonised by life with sufficient biomass to leave signatures, this is baseline of what we know to look for. Looking for one group of detections is easier and more readily quantifiable than searching the universe for any and every possible chemical and trying to draw loose conclusions on the random data.
@@pyronixcore I'm not so sure...complex life it seems , is far LESS likely to evolve to become aerobic, judging on how long the Earth got along with it's anaerobes, after all, the transformation from anaerobic to aerobic atmosphere took millions of years, this didn't necessarily mean that aerobes had some tough time clawing their way up to become dominant, in fact it meant that the Earth simply became ever so more hostile to all the anaerobes, leaving a niche for aerobes with no competition, it was an inversion, from one system to the other. As of now, we have finally found evidence that given time, and the niche, anaerobes can and do evolve to become complex highly adaptable organisms just like aerobes do. On the face of it, Aerobic respiration is more energy efficient, but that's not to say that anaerobic systems also could not evolve to become just as efficient, there is absolutely no reason why it shouldn't, after all, oxides of nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorous, and highly reduced forms of sulfur like hydrogen sulfide are great sources of electrons for the electron transport chain in an anaerobic cell, the forces of evolution don't just stop because you are an anaerobe. If there is one thing that is certain, it's that we absolutely should not limit our parameters to what our experience of life is all about, life is, at it's very core, hardy, tenacious, adaptable, and above all, surprising.

If the sheer magnitude of the universe is accurate, then I have no doubt life is out there, however, "advanced" life I'm afraid is probably rare. By what we know about our own planet. Edit: but what an amazing subject. I'm so happy i live in a time when we can even talk about these things.

We don't even know what makes a planet "habitable" other than the one example we know about. There could be lots of habitable planets that are in no way similar to earth.
+Richard BENNETT true enough, so it depends what we mean when we say "habitable". It can mean "habitable to us" but can also mean "habitable to some form of life", e.g. if we find microbes deep under the surface in the moons of Jupiter would we say such a celestial body is habitable?
Of more interest is what makes a planet habitable for *intelligent* life (perhaps "like" us, perhaps not), and it seems this is:
(a) the presence of simple life providing the initial biosphere / food chain, etc
(b) evolution surviving through the various contingencies that any planet is subject to over time
(c) some "special" evolutionary contingency that permits a body form capable of tool use to accelerate brain development beyond basic survival needs to abstract thought
It may be that (a) and (b) are relatively common but (c) is not. Jury is still out.
Anyway, the first thing to look for is a biosphere, indicated by presence of elements (perhaps oxygen) or other compounds that are contrary to normal chemical balances that seek highest entropy states. This would indicate presence of some "organizing influence" that uses energy to create order from disorder. This to me is the broadest definition of life.
We can note that earth-like creatures are oxygen-breathing but oxygen does not occur naturally as a gas in high quantity. It is very reactive and will usually bond to form compounds - H2O and C2O being notable. Presence of high quantities of free oxygen in any atmosphere is likely to indicate presence of some form of life. The same applies to other possible chemistry.
We can also note that terrestrial earth-like creatures have body forms strongly dictated by earth's gravity. It appears that earth is toward the "smaller" scale of planet size and there may well be more planets that are "middle" size - somewhere between size of earth and gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. The body forms on higher gravitational planets are likely to be more stunted (perhaps less amenable to effective tool use). Even if such planets had suitable atmosphere our bodies would not be strong enough to cope normally. We would be quite paralyzed and forced to remain prone.
So whilst I suspect life itself may be quite prevalent I also suspect life "like us" is rare. Evolution does not have specific direction and results may vary. This leads me to also suspect any alien intelligent life could be very threatening. We humans have a tendency to fight other humans due to simple cultural differences so imagine how we would treat a totally unrecognizable but highly intelligent life form with little in common except control over advanced technology. Such differences may be irreconcilable with survival of the species. Thankfully cosmology has an in-built protection - vastness - separation over space and time, so hopefully there should be enough room for galactic colonization to proceed without reverting to conflicts.
Interesting reply. I will think about what you wrote. I do disagree that intelligent life must not be autotrophic.

Mark Collins sorry but distance and time ( which are the same ) has to solve FTL or dimensions jump) or forget any encounter. Made a calculation for a humanity 150000 years and then the age of the first planet which had intelligent life. Here on earth only one spices made into space. Sorry the numbers are nearly so little for encounter an alien ship, that drakes equation and Fermi the known paradox makes me severely sceptical ever to encounter intelligence, not circumstantial evidence because the atmosphere will change because of exhaustion etc. So far nothing. But life yes , alien encounter is highly unlikely. And I hope I’m so wrong. Information can’t be faster than light, and the expansion of the universe is beyond light speed. So these galaxies are moving away from us beyond the speed of light . ( the local observer )

It's hotly debated that microbial life crash landed on earth inside meteors which kick-started growth, in which case we are all aliens, that at some point invaded from outer space.
I can attest to these facts. I've spent the last few days pulling "weeds" KNOWING they are many species of aliens who are taking over our planet. Nothing stops them. Nothing kills them. They only return: faster, more dangerous, and more virulent. Why wont our government and our scientists start working on this problem before it's too late?

They will be looking for evidence of liquid water on the planets located in the habitable zones. It has been said that everywhere you find water on earth (a habitable zone planet) you find life.
Yes, firstly is need to verify the extraterrestrial life (fossils - I think - from Mars - it is a biggest possibility); I have one sample in the my case🤭 - the suspect meteorite with primitive life signs...
That moment you go to bed and decide to check TH-cam on your phone real quick and find a gem like this... Meh who needs sleep
1:02.00 that old guy has got it wrong..he mentions life forms living in salt, because the salt can absorb moisture from the air, and he calls it deliquescence...well he's a not quite right there.
The common salts that are from these dried up seas are mostly sodium chloride. These sea salts are not deliquescent, they are in fact just hygroscopic, meaning that they can absorb water vapor, but not to the point where they keep absorbing it and become a liquid , that is in fact the nature of a deliquescent substance, such as potassium hydroxide, Zinc chloride, ammonium acetate etc. Subtle but important difference.
If distance affects the way we see visible light, for instance super far stars looking visibly red due to it being so far, how would that affect our ability to actually know what gases make up a planet’s atmosphere?
That's a good question?? ... I think that other elements emit rays or some forms of their presence from those stars and they can detect their spectrums.. like a barcode.
My thing is, the universe acts kinda like a camera.. if I takes millions of years for that light to reach us, how do we if a lot of that stuff is still there or in it's original state.
Only thing that bugs me when people talk about potential alien life.
They always say it NEEDS to have water, NEEDS to have oxygen.
Says who? That’s just how life here on earth evolved, who’s to say that life on another planet didn’t evolve to breathe something else?
Who’s to say that life somewhere else didn’t evolve to need COMPLETELY different things than what animals need here on earth?
I think Fred Hoyle got it right: "The rules of evolution are universal so when we finally encounter alien intelligent life, either (1) it will be so like us we will be disappointed, or (2) it will be so different the debate will not be about is it intelligent but is it life." Because novels and movies always go for (1), he wrote a novel: "The Black Cloud" to illustrate option (2). It should be compulsory reading for anyone thinking about alien life/intelligence.
Hi Bruce. I just wrote above how frustrating this panel of people are. I've just written at tbe top here why I am.
The rules of evolution maybe the same but there are so many different factors that even if they are just 1% different could mean an entirely different civilization. To think that we are only that gorillas and apes are only 2% different than humans oh, so our 2% different look at what we have created. I truly believe that the bigger Factor will be consciousness and how far along or not along a species has become. For example if an alien life-form landed here today I do not expect that they would have any idea how to relate to us any more than we know how to relate to animals. The reason being we have egos imagine the species intelligent but void of ego they would be completely different

Our first actual space explorers, who will go "out there" searching for alien intelligences, will be androids designed to represent our species - not flesh and blood types. And the first "aliens" they will encounter (perhaps long after humanity has gone extinct, and earth has become a burned out cinder - perhaps much sooner) will almost certainly be other androids designed to represent some other intelligent life form that lives (or lived) on some other planet in some other part of the galaxy.

Your talking about human habitation on planet earth. We have no idea what kind of environment, every single species of other terrestrial's would possibly need to thrive.
Well you have to work from the known to the unknown. The way dinosaurs look today is due to our current understanding of mainly reptilian anatomy. That being said you are correct and the way we expect dinosaurs to look may well be wrong. To get total population the best way is to physically count each individual but we don’t do that either and it seems to be working.
@@Brad-il9mw yes but we have evidence such as fossils and evolved offsprings of dinosaur to compare too. In the galaxy it could be life made from harder materials lives in pools of ammonia. Or that the vacuum of space is full of behemoth organic animals that are giant and live off of sunlight alone. We don’t know what we don’t know. Also our visible lights only see so much, there could be life at an energy and vibration level unobservable to us but present all around. Scientists can and should use these methods from earth of course, but reality isnt limited to it
@@Brad-il9mw The idea is that given an E.T. species were to be able to come & live on earth or already is here, would we even recognize it as being not from this planet.

3:58 off the bat, and this may come up later, but i was watching a video by brian greene where he is talking about near light speed journeys with crews that expect those journeys to take a hundred, or perhaps hundreds of years, crewed by populations rather than a few. if that were to happen that crew would be on a one way trip, back on home planet the amount of time passing would mean likely their home civilisation would disappear, or disseminate at best, and if you sent out a hundred ships with a variety of journey times, those ships would be well out of sync with each other, what i'n getting at is that even if everywhere in the universe developed civilisations and sent them out on interstellar journeys, at lighr speeds, then everyone would be out of sync - perhaps none of the arrivals would occupy the same period in history, no one would be aware of anyone else because they occupy a different time line. maybe this is why we don't find evidence of life, they came and went, or they are still en route, but given the amount of "time" there is in the universe, we're just out of sync. and what i was going to say is, why planets? if you are a echnologically advanced civilisation capable of space travel, why would you live on a planet? okay search for "life" on other planets, but you won't find anything that has had space travel for any length of time.
Huh? Lol u keep bringing up "time" as if it's a factor. It looks to me like they can travel through time, so time is irrelevant.

@@ramaraksha01 you clearly are speaking from a place of ignorance. So, allow me to enlighten you. Lsd and mushrooms don’t make you hallucinate in a manner in which you see dragons and bowling turning into butterflies that fly away and then turn into gold coins and fall to the floor and blossom into flowers. That’s not a thing. These drugs altar how you see real world objects yes, but they don’t make you see wild new things. However, the hallucinogenic effect is not that which they would be after. These drugs also make you introspective and make portions of your brain communicate with other areas that don’t normal communicate at such a high level. On top of that, studies have shown lsd, mushrooms, and subsequently dmt, when micro dosed, promote neurogenesis. For the laymen, brain cells do sexy time. Don’t speak out of your ass and dismiss everything out right because you have some preconceived notion about the object/concept.

Maybe the question should be, "Did We Know It When We Saw It?"
Homing in on the topic "will we know it when you see it?". If the history of life on earth is anything to go on, emergence of highly intelligent species took a long time, and if we can categorize humans in the last few hundred years as "technologically advanced" this is a mere cosmic blink in time. If other intelligent species arose elsewhere the probability is they did so many thousands or millions of years ago. That is, they would be vastly VASTLY more technologically advanced than us newbies. In other words, the chances that another species is "similar to us" is infinitesimally small - they will either be primitive life forms or vastly superior beings. SETI has failed to find any evidence of the latter, so we might assume, even if life is pervasive, the emergence of technologically advanced species is rare, but if they exist, they would certainly see us as primitive (in military terms it would be a no contest). They would also ensure we never evolve to be superior (the same way we would ensure chimpanzees never gained technological superiority over humans). Hence, if they exist at all, they will ALWAYS be our superiors. Are we prepared for that?
Being alone has some benefits :)
+Paul Wagner We're only "advanced" compared to our own past. There's no reason to assume a linear "less" to "more" advanced path to technology in general. It depends on what resources are available, and the factors that shape the organism's perception of its world. A smart slime mold might develop fluidic computers long before building pyramids or starting fires.
+James McManus sure...in no sense is progression limited to linear, Earth is a case in point where this has been punctuated and now could be considered exponential. Life has evolved for 3.5 billion years. There's no reason to assume that higher intelligence needs that long (or short). Imagine it took only 2.5 billion years so that this intelligent species had a billion year head start on advanced technology !!! Mind-boggling. But I would suggest that "less" to "more" more-or-less (excuse the pun) sums up what we mean by "advanced", i.e. from simple to complex (technology). And I think we can gauge "advanced technology" independently from our own past by using universal reference points, such as ability to apply technology by controlling the electromagnetic force (we have some capability), quantum mechanics (we are primitive), gravity (we are nowhere), and eventually bio-engineering and cosmic re-engineering to achieve control over the universe for our ongoing survival,
At present we are a niche species occupying a tiny pond in the universe. We are adapted only for that habitat - our biology shaped by earth's physics (gravity, energy supply, etc), chemistry and biology (water, atmosphere and nutrients). This biosphere is a product of millions of years of organic life. Without life, earth's chemical composition would be vastly different and almost certainly lethal to an unprotected human. Hence our chances of finding another "earth" UNINHABITED are realistically zero. Only teeming diverse life can create the kind of biosphere we need . Of earth like rocks in space (i.e. no life) there may be many but they would be UNINHABITABLE without planetary re-engineering including creation of a biosphere. Big job on a far away rock. Of course life may be adapted to very different conditions and hence take a radically different form - ALIENS.
This all leads back to my original point:
- Worlds that are uninhabitable to humans can only contain no life, or quite alien life. We might hope these remain primitive as advanced aliens with very different biological needs will pose some threat.
- Worlds that are inhabitable to humans must have biology. If any have achieved "advanced technology" they are likely to be vastly more advanced than us (a coincidence where we both reached the same point within few hundred, or even few thousand years of each other seems an infinitesimally small chance).
- Some glimmer of hope is offered by intelligent life converging towards artificially engineered beings that are designed to adapt to a diverse range of conditions found in the universe. IMO this is the most likely path to "galactic societies"
+Paul Wagner I like your conclusion of artificially engineered life. I do not think we (life) can rule out the idea of our evolution from a biological stance to a mechanical one until we learn more. I also agree that SETIs lack of interesting discoveries are interesting in itself. SETI's reach is small though compared to what we have seen in Hubble an the VLT.
I disagree with your use of probabilities of intelligent life being more advance though. Lack of evidence does not give us the ability to assert the contrary. Evidence of the contrary has to exists for us to assert it. There are simply two many unknowns at this point. Homo Sapiens have been around for 100,000 plus years. In light of how long what you or I would consider intelligence.
You had some interesting comments though., thanks for your insights.
I don’t think they would stunt our advances evolutionary wise. They’ve been here before and still visit today . I think thrust wsnt us go advance. I do think they study us the way we do animals but they’re not malicious. They are more advanced emotionally than humans . Humans destroy everything. Our technology is laughable
Does anyone else see the similarity between Sara Seager and Jodi Foster’s character in “Contact”. She is obviously dedicated to the science and facts wherever it may lead…even if it’s nowhere.
I truly appreciate the time these experts put into the study of our future & organizations like the World Science Festival putting together these panels to enlighten & educate the general public however, the moderator proved to be a detractor from this particular event. His cheeky attempts at humor seemed to only waste valuable time these experts had to share. Additionally, I found his repeated talking over of the experts to be extremely disrespectful & a blatant lack of professionalism. He actually made a comment to the affect of the Arizona Diamondbacks sucking this year & I have NO idea what his opinion has to do with the search or understanding of life outside our planet. I look forward to more of these events as I’m eager to hear about the hard work & speculation these experts put into the future of humanity however, I hope it is done with a more reserved & professional moderator.
These “experts” gave very simple explanations to everything, honestly this was the most boring video I have ever seen. My friends and I had conversations about as in-depth as this in high school.. these scientists better not have jobs, especially if that’s all the info they have got for everyone. They taught nothing new, just an update.. They still haven’t figured anything new out. Sad honestly. However the moderator, I agree has really cheeky comments that never make sense.

This is a very intellectual and inspiring discussion. We need more discussion like that to train our kids and grow up with this knowledge, pattern, and understanding of our universe. WSF is a great forum. Thank you for sharing.
Yes indeed, including the subtitles! Very intellectual.
The moderator is unbearable. He always brings down the level of the conversation.
Same thing in every WSF panel he moderates. How the fuck does WSF keep hiring this guy, unless he is a member of the organization's leadership.
That is his job.
I think he makes these discussions a little entertaining.
He immediately needs to lose the arrogance and gain some polish. He takes people right out of the moment. We DIDN'T click to hear HIM talk! Um....um....um... Uh...
Maybe he is trying to bring it down to the level of the audience- he needs to realize the audience in any niche category of this nature is already expected to be somewhat educated. They are not illiterate drunk 15 year olds.

Good forum, with one exception, the moderator. Sometimes very much on the mark, other times just stammering along, and worst of all trying to be clever, and failing. It's a serious subject, knock off the comedy routine.

Seagan's reactions were priceless. At 19:14 he interrupts her first point with lame joke. 19:47 interrupts her second point to make her look like she's still a grad student. 2:35.. once again.. It's as if he doesn't care what she has to say.. he can't seem to focus... or doesn't want the audience to for some subconscious reason. He's not a good host and I wish they'd stop using him.
Typical...why doesn't he do the same to the men? I wonder....

Uh..... life wouldn't just be on planets. They'd be on anything. Moon. Planet. Asteroid. Ship. Station. Space liquid we haven't discovered yet lol. Could be a form we can't detect or even interact with. Could be life on the sun. Life don't have to exist the way we do.
I believe that life forms may exist in atmospheric conditions that are not inhabitable by life as we know it, making the limitation of possible planets increase.
I believe both !!! Good call
The search for life is inherently limited by criteria used to define aliveness and, what we are really looking for is intelligent life that we could somehow communicate with but there might be many many forms of life that are aware to at least the degree humans but can we communicate to each other? We might not be able to communicate and they might not have autonomous individuals with language they might simply have roles in society based on morphism that could be gender or age dependent, they might be hive structured or they might not communicate at all and it could still be intelligent life. Add in lifespan, attention span, persistence of memory span, curiosity levels and, modes of perception: what happens to mathematics if the species sense is something like smell but limited to contact range? What would its thoughts be like, how would they "talk" to each other? What would it it think of are art? Or Euclidian geometry?
Or, Plato's favorite shapes (that dude basically worshiped regular polygons)? We cant agree on a definition for life here but, we are trying to find it on other planets that litteraly hundreds to thousands of lightyears distant from the earth- A lightyear for those who dont know is 5,000,000,000,000 miles long, counting 1 number per second it takes 158548.95+ years to get to 5 trillion- finding intelligent life in the universe is a rather daunting task.
That’s brilliant buddy
@Michael King ✋ I second that... This comment is undeniably an underrated one - it is a nod to just how unobtainable the capacity to even have the conversation of THINKING about TRYING to wrap just ONE MORSEL of a brain cell around this sort of thing... It's just - I have no words
It’s frustrating when people just think of one way. Space is not a waste. I don’t know where to begin: why don’t you consider life in forms not previously recognized? Life outside the universe which is perfectly logical and natural. Thanks for this. Life actually did start in an ocean, but not that ocean.
I actually have answers to all the questions he asks around 43 minutes. They are automatically answered by the nature of the alien intelligence communication.
I'd lay money that we're already seeing it and just don't recognize it for what it is. I think life is the rule, not the exception. we live on life quite possibly, and some of the moons are children of some of the gods,er..i mean...planets. who knows such things?
Tic tack flying thing recorded in 2014 wasn’t it?
I've seen two crafts, two different times. One was a 2.5 foot tall bell shaped one that appeared in my inground swimming pool. It shot a stream of water out of the side that arched about 16 foot over the pool and after about 20 seconds just vanished, slowly fading to nothing. Was october 2009. I could have touched it with my pool brush but was afraid of being electrocuted. I reported it to the FBI, but no response, oh well their loss, I feel very privileged to have witnessed it in my own backyard!
Sounds like your robotic auto-pool cleaner has a mechanical glitch or two. Time for a tune-up (&prob shld get the pool cleaner checked out while your at it!)

21:29....isn't just looking for oxygen signal in a planets light spectrum a limiting way of inferring that life is present ? After all Earth most certainly absolutely had life well established prior to the great oxygenation event caused by the photosynthesizing Stromatolites. Who's to say that the life we find, which is most likely going to be microbial, is also more likely to be anaerobic simply because that is going to be the primary energy source for microbes to use and evolve with, like bacteria using hydrogen sulfide, or even oxides of nitrogen ! Are we deliberately ignoring or discounting these types of scenarios simply because we don't WANT to find potential real estate filled with a poison atmosphere ??!!
Super late reply, but the concept is that complex life is far more likely to rapidly evolve to become aerobic than anaerobic because of how simple and easy it is to provide energy via oxygen. All complex life on Earth is only possible _because_ of the great oxygenation event you spoke about. Before oxygen, life was not able (as far as we can tell) to produce large complex life forms due to physical limitations of terrestrial biology and the chemical requirements for those complex structures. This tells us that if there is complex life out there, conditions might be more likely be similar to what we had than be much different. Since we're not looking for a world that has fresh juicy brand new life, but established worlds colonised by life with sufficient biomass to leave signatures, this is baseline of what we know to look for. Looking for one group of detections is easier and more readily quantifiable than searching the universe for any and every possible chemical and trying to draw loose conclusions on the random data.
@@pyronixcore I'm not so sure...complex life it seems , is far LESS likely to evolve to become aerobic, judging on how long the Earth got along with it's anaerobes, after all, the transformation from anaerobic to aerobic atmosphere took millions of years, this didn't necessarily mean that aerobes had some tough time clawing their way up to become dominant, in fact it meant that the Earth simply became ever so more hostile to all the anaerobes, leaving a niche for aerobes with no competition, it was an inversion, from one system to the other. As of now, we have finally found evidence that given time, and the niche, anaerobes can and do evolve to become complex highly adaptable organisms just like aerobes do. On the face of it, Aerobic respiration is more energy efficient, but that's not to say that anaerobic systems also could not evolve to become just as efficient, there is absolutely no reason why it shouldn't, after all, oxides of nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorous, and highly reduced forms of sulfur like hydrogen sulfide are great sources of electrons for the electron transport chain in an anaerobic cell, the forces of evolution don't just stop because you are an anaerobe. If there is one thing that is certain, it's that we absolutely should not limit our parameters to what our experience of life is all about, life is, at it's very core, hardy, tenacious, adaptable, and above all, surprising.
