As a science fan, I always admired Arthur C. Clarke. I’m proud to be Sri Lankan because he made Sri Lanka his home from 1956 until he passed away in 2008. I think he’s the most respected foreigner in our country. When I was a kid, people celebrated him a lot. Even today, schools here teach about him, and he’s remembered with love and respect. His name is still alive in Sri Lanka, even after his death. 🥰
this is actually crazy groundbreaking, to think that if we do actually find life on a microbiological level on europa and that it could evolve one day into something more is absolutely mindboggling. it's like looking back through time to when life on earth was still in its early stages.

10:45 - This device was later renamed "NotSnotBot" to avoid offense. Later, it was miniaturized (the TotNotSnotBot) to reduce weight, extending flight-times for the same fuel or battery. It now has containers that are jettisoned when full of sample so that the full weight of sample isn't borne for the entire flight, which is thus lengthened further. Human eyes easily locate the flotation-equipped TotNotSnotBotPots for collection because of the vividly-colored circles (TotNotSnotBotPotDots) decorating each, delivered by the manufacturer a million at a time (the standard TotNotSnotBotPotDotLot).

When you showed me the picture of Europa took by Voyager 1, it genuinely brought a tear to my eyes. Humans have gone such a long way from making fire to launching spacecrafts to other worlds. One of the biggest reasons i wanted to become an astronaut when I was little. This video was so emotional to me, thanks Derek!
There is a caveat After launch it will go back to fly by Earth, then Mars and only then go to Jupiter. This is done to take advantage of gravity assists, which is more efficient meaning the spacecraft needs less fuel and more mass can be spent on science. New horizons probe flew directly to Jupiter and it only took a year but it's a smaller spacecraft and it didn't stop at Jupiter
We *could* get there fast. We'd have to build a much larger spacecraft that could take a direct route and decelerate hard at Jupiter (or air-brake in Jupiter's atmosphere). We don't normally build spacecraft like that so there'd be lots of new development required. That's more money (a LOT more money) and a higher chance of failure, but also a lot more time. Using a design like Clipper is actually faster than developing a spacecraft that could travel there directly. If we had a cheap way of getting mass into orbit, it'd be a different story.
Hey, a tip for you! Whenever showing space clips, put a little "CGI" or "Photo taken by probe/telescope xyz" in the top corner, like Astrum does. There are a lot of amazing pictures out there, would be a shame to assume it all to be CGI!
it's worse the other way around. there are so many "artist's impressions" used to illustrate everything nowadays that people don't appreciate actual new high quality telescope pictures, because few realize that the best actual picture we have of something is often a handful of black and white pixels.
Hey Derek! I'm in med school in Switzerland, and my physics teacher has used clips of your videos to explain some concepts! I thought maybe that would make you smile (or laugh, or cry, feel free to do whichever) :)
It's bizarre. Most people don't think on the large scale of the universe (myself included) so it's hard to imagine that could actually generate that much heat.

3:26 To those who don't know, clippers are a type of cargo ships. To my knowledge, they were never used for leisure or passenger transport. Clippers were specifically used for tea, born from an era when, rather than focus on bulk volume, some traders focused on freshness. So clippers were made, with tiny cargo spaces but lots or sails, and such traders would actually compete with each other for the fastest arrival. The first to arrive in England would get extra payment. That said, of course tea delivered by clippers were way above premium; super fresh and extremely limited amounts meant they were for the nobility.
Woah this is a cool and actually very relevant video for me; a few days ago my engineering teacher at my highschool had the NASA press conference about the Europa Clipper mission on the projector, and it was fascinating to see that there's a chance for "alien" life in our very own solar system. Excited to see how the mission plays out! (in about 5 years)
If you want proof of alien life just watch the Las Vegas kenmore family video. Hasn’t been debunked and it’s been 6 months now since it’s been proven there’s entities in the video no cgi. Only “debunking” has been personal attacks on the people who helped prove it. Disclosure happened though it may have been small it will ripple eventually. You’ll likely need to watch videos where people point out or zoom in on the entities. There’s multiple. A 9 foot tall one. A really short one. All are cloaked though not perfectly. One’s cloaking even fails momentarily and you see it’s head pop into existence for one second before disappearing. Like I said no cgi.
I am a faithful follower of your Spanish channel Veritasium in Spanish and I adore your videos that make me feel part of a large and wonderful Universe and make me enjoy the scientific dissemination that you do. I am in love with your intelligence and how you teach us to understand the physical world around us. 😊
I can't thank you enough for your advice. I followed your footsteps and got 5 out of 6 - a significant improvement for me. I'm still learning, but with your help, I feel like I'm on the right track. Thanks a million
Im soooo glad they did a video on Europa Clipper! I've seen other videos before, but I knew Veritasium would do an amazing job, and they did not disappoint!
Dr. Peter Hand is traveling around the US giving an excellent lecture on the mission. Find it on RUclips or read his book. Highly recommended. He is in charge of the salt lab briefly covered in this video with JPL.
This tickles my brain. (edit) Its actually genius how they might be able to study the water by using geysers that shoot through the ice, my only concern would be over time, if ice buildup got too cluttered on Europa Clipper then it might cause stuff to shut. But I'm no rocket scientist so its just an assumption.
I had a similar thought. The plumes could also be corrosive. Passing through them could damage sensors, controls, and solar panels. It makes more sense to have the sensor on a tether so that the craft itself stays out of the plumes.
I've heard the facts of what we know about Jupiter's and it's moons and which missions discovered it, but not how the data told us about the salt. I also loved the basketball demonstration.
Great vid! The idea that we might witness the discovery of life beyond Earth incredible. It’s a "once-in-a-species" event, and we could be the generation to experience it!
Honestly at this point I'd be more shocked if we didn't eventually find (microbial) life in the solar system, sure it would be amazing to confirm it but personally I'm more excited about the reported signal they've found which allegedly confirms intelligent alien life. Now _that_ would be a real game changer.
been watching your videos for a while and i always look forward to your explanation that keeps me constantly interested. never stop making videos im begging
The problem with extremophiles on Earth is that these organisms evolved to live in these conditions , but originated from organisms living in more temperate environments. Classic example high temperature polymerase. It's a evolutionary adaptation of a protein to work in high temperatures. The mammalian polymerase becomes inoperable in temperatures above 50C while Taq polymerase has optimal temperature 80C and can work up to 97C for brief time
I thought the leading theory for the origins of life on Earth says it emerged around hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor. I wouldn't describe those temperatures and pressures as temperate.
I watched it launch live in person! Huge props to the team who worked on this for the past decade for bringing such an incredible work of engineering into existence!
When I noticed that I though to myself - is this auto-generated? No way right, but I still turned the subtitles off after that. Weird how mind works :D
i think i'll cry for a day, if we find life outside of Earth during my lifetime like, even if this is barely affects me, this would be the greatest achievement in the human history, future altering even...
10:20 What I don't understand is that if single celled life evolved on Europa 4 billion years ago around hydrothermal vents, what's stopping it from evolving into complex life like on Earth? Wouldn't it actually seem likely that it has evolved? The obvious answer I can think of is there's simply not enough energy, but are we certain about that?
@@jamesmnguyen Yeah that makes sense, we might find some signs of bacteria in the ice on the surface, but any remains of more complex life may be long gone. It's a shame the ice is 100km deep... Maybe an orbital solar reflector could melt a hole.
@@Astra2 There were design concepts for a lander that used a nuclear heat source to melt a hole and lower in a measuring probe. We already have nuclear RTGs so the tech is pretty straightforward.

Neptune always said his brother was, and I'm quoting him here, "Kind of an A-hole."
In mythology, it's more like "Jupiter fucks everything."
He does kill a lot of things too, though.
3:26 To those who don't know, clippers are a type of cargo ships. To my knowledge, they were never used for leisure or passenger transport. Clippers were specifically used for tea, born from an era when, rather than focus on bulk volume, some traders focused on freshness. So clippers were made, with tiny cargo spaces but lots or sails, and such traders would actually compete with each other for the fastest arrival. The first to arrive in England would get extra payment.
That said, of course tea delivered by clippers were way above premium; super fresh and extremely limited amounts meant they were for the nobility.
I really love when Veritasium makes content about Science History and Astrophysics. It really motivates me to learn more
Woah this is a cool and actually very relevant video for me; a few days ago my engineering teacher at my highschool had the NASA press conference about the Europa Clipper mission on the projector, and it was fascinating to see that there's a chance for "alien" life in our very own solar system. Excited to see how the mission plays out! (in about 5 years)
If you want proof of alien life just watch the Las Vegas kenmore family video. Hasn’t been debunked and it’s been 6 months now since it’s been proven there’s entities in the video no cgi. Only “debunking” has been personal attacks on the people who helped prove it. Disclosure happened though it may have been small it will ripple eventually. You’ll likely need to watch videos where people point out or zoom in on the entities. There’s multiple. A 9 foot tall one. A really short one. All are cloaked though not perfectly. One’s cloaking even fails momentarily and you see it’s head pop into existence for one second before disappearing. Like I said no cgi.
that is astoundingly fascinating. I would've never guessed tidal-stretch-induced friction is what mtainaints the oceans liquid. Impressive.
bad bot
I am a faithful follower of your Spanish channel Veritasium in Spanish and I adore your videos that make me feel part of a large and wonderful Universe and make me enjoy the scientific dissemination that you do. I am in love with your intelligence and how you teach us to understand the physical world around us. 😊
Veritasium has been cooking recently 🔥🔥🔥
Loving the frequent uploads
yea it da best
yeah I'm honestly shocked by these coming out so fast. these are not easy videos to make at all
I can't thank you enough for your advice. I followed your footsteps and got 5 out of 6 - a significant improvement for me. I'm still learning, but with your help, I feel like I'm on the right track. Thanks a million
I love this channel. The fact the Galileo model had part of its antenna closed was so cool. Very thorough. ☺
I love that the astronomer has a Star Trek book in his library xDD 15:30
Im soooo glad they did a video on Europa Clipper! I've seen other videos before, but I knew Veritasium would do an amazing job, and they did not disappoint!
12:18 Love seeing the snatoms come out again
Dr. Peter Hand is traveling around the US giving an excellent lecture on the mission. Find it on RUclips or read his book. Highly recommended. He is in charge of the salt lab briefly covered in this video with JPL.
Fascinating video. Always love when astrophysics like this are explained in such an easy to understand way.
This tickles my brain.
(edit) Its actually genius how they might be able to study the water by using geysers that shoot through the ice, my only concern would be over time, if ice buildup got too cluttered on Europa Clipper then it might cause stuff to shut. But I'm no rocket scientist so its just an assumption.
I had a similar thought. The plumes could also be corrosive. Passing through them could damage sensors, controls, and solar panels. It makes more sense to have the sensor on a tether so that the craft itself stays out of the plumes.
I think it might not be that big of a problem. If I remember correctly, Cassini did that in Enceladus on the Saturn mission
Water ice evaporates in the vacuum so it'll dry off over time
There could be tiny salt deposits left over
Veritasium semiweekly upload schedule is a gift from the gods
🦆
Videos from this channel are some of the best on youtube, always so well explained and entertaining
"Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?"
I've heard the facts of what we know about Jupiter's and it's moons and which missions discovered it, but not how the data told us about the salt. I also loved the basketball demonstration.
Wow! Derek and all the guests in his videos explain the topic real good. Keep up!
Great vid! The idea that we might witness the discovery of life beyond Earth incredible. It’s a "once-in-a-species" event, and we could be the generation to experience it!
Honestly at this point I'd be more shocked if we didn't eventually find (microbial) life in the solar system, sure it would be amazing to confirm it but personally I'm more excited about the reported signal they've found which allegedly confirms intelligent alien life. Now _that_ would be a real game changer.
THIS CHANNELS IS AMAZING
@@mandamiddle0278 There’s no need to shout.
“This channels…”, or _these_ channels are?
been watching your videos for a while and i always look forward to your explanation that keeps me constantly interested. never stop making videos im begging
The problem with extremophiles on Earth is that these organisms evolved to live in these conditions , but originated from organisms living in more temperate environments. Classic example high temperature polymerase. It's a evolutionary adaptation of a protein to work in high temperatures. The mammalian polymerase becomes inoperable in temperatures above 50C while Taq polymerase has optimal temperature 80C and can work up to 97C for brief time
I thought the leading theory for the origins of life on Earth says it emerged around hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor. I wouldn't describe those temperatures and pressures as temperate.
2:49 Missed an opportunity to use a Clipper lighter here
Hi Derek! Thank you for posting so much lately!
Jupiter is pretty protective of it's moons
Pimpiter
@@toni6194 🤣
@@toni6194 does that make Europa a professional whore?
Atempt
Thanks for breaking it all down so clearly!
Veritassium's channel is very educational and fun at the same time.
This is both true and a very sweet comment ☀
make a video about Uranus and its moons and start with "deep inside Uranus"
I watched it launch live in person! Huge props to the team who worked on this for the past decade for bringing such an incredible work of engineering into existence!
10:20 He was so disappointed
Do you think he's stupid?
@@dwigt123 This guy thinks that verita is a rando with no scientific background
And when we find the aliens living in the oceans of Europa. We shall call them...
Europeans
This is the most captivating video on your channel so far. Loved it.
sounds nice but i still want to know when are we going deep into uranus aswell
Missing the E in earth at 3:13
Borrow me your eyes and attention to detail for a while
Caption mess up
Arth is my favorite planet
When I noticed that I though to myself - is this auto-generated? No way right, but I still turned the subtitles off after that. Weird how mind works :D
E
I have been waiting for this since 2008. Just a few more years!
Veritasium PLEASE oil up I BEG it's the only thing that can save my life!!!!
i think i'll cry for a day, if we find life outside of Earth during my lifetime
like, even if this is barely affects me, this would be the greatest achievement in the human history, future altering even...
😂❤ same
Brilliant! Hats off to your explanation.
Your RUclips videos are great because they always have detailed explanations.
There's no way the "ATEMPT NO LANDING HERE" thumbnail wasn't made just to get people like me to comment about it.
Sorted by new to find this, was not disappointed.
6:08 crazy, how Europa contains twice as much water as Earth but still it isn't the place with the most water in our solar system... ❤
Europa is speculated to have water. Earth is confirmed as the place with the most water in our solar system.
I love how you create your videos in such a fun and educational way, keep up the good work!
8:47 oh so they’re stretch marks
Flesh moon.
10:20 What I don't understand is that if single celled life evolved on Europa 4 billion years ago around hydrothermal vents, what's stopping it from evolving into complex life like on Earth? Wouldn't it actually seem likely that it has evolved? The obvious answer I can think of is there's simply not enough energy, but are we certain about that?
They're probably keeping their expectations low, it's also a lot easier to confirm the existence of bacteria than something like a fish.
@@jamesmnguyen Yeah that makes sense, we might find some signs of bacteria in the ice on the surface, but any remains of more complex life may be long gone. It's a shame the ice is 100km deep... Maybe an orbital solar reflector could melt a hole.
@@Astra2 There were design concepts for a lander that used a nuclear heat source to melt a hole and lower in a measuring probe. We already have nuclear RTGs so the tech is pretty straightforward.
Your ability to pump out quality videos is incredible
I didn't even like the title or thumbnail and I still clicked cuz it's Veritasium 😅
ur trippin
There's a typo in the thumbnail
I was at Cape Canaveral last week and met the Europa Clipper mission director at a PR display thing. Pretty amazing.
Veritasium uploading videos every week while Vsauce uploads every 2 years
2 videos
Yeah, I miss Vsauce though.
He keeps uploading shorts
4:09 - Europa is missing Kratos.

Neobișnuit, prima data am auzit o sesiune cu un suflet sa nu vrea sa plece si să continue experiențele...
Mulțumesc !
What's up with that thumbnail though, ATEMPT??? More like ATTEMPT :P
