    Proxima b is more dead than Mars. It would have tidally locked to its star long ago and it has no way to maintain a magnetic field beyond sharing one from its host star. Simulations show that life could perhaps thrive on _young_ worlds around red dwarf stars. Proxima b is _old._ If life still lives there, it must be more extreme extremophiles than any we've seen on Earth.

      There is also the Pre Main Sequence problem with red dwarves.
      Long story short, they are hotter when they are forming and cool dpwn when fusion starts. So the habitable zone is wider intially a d wod boil away the oceans on any planets in what ends up being the habitable zone.

      @@saviourojukwu893 The universe is only ~14 billion years old. There are orange dwarf stars that old. The Methuselah Star, for example, is a yellow subgiant at ~0.8 solar masses and its estimated age is roughly the age of the universe. It would have been an orange dwarf in its youth, more similar to Toliman than Proxima.
      Red Dwarf stars will last far longer than this. But my investigations into the conditions for life seem to suggest that it is far more likely to begin in a young planetary system. If a planet requires many millions of years or more in order to become habitable, then it is probably too late for life to take root by then, unless it was deposited (contaminated) from an outside source (panspermia).

It is also frustrating that we can't reach any of the places we discover. The distances are just too vast.

    It's a good possibility. As various stars that have passed by our Sun.

It would pick up icy materials over and over again. Even if it's atmosphere is stripped away from solar flares it might gain it again as it travels in such an orbit.

    It's very important to note that the "habitable" zone of a star does NOT mean any planets located in it would be even close to hospitable to life. VENUS is technically in the habitable zone - but you'd be dead in less than a second on its surface, where temperatures are hot enough to melt lead. Mars, too, is in the habitable zone - yet you can't live there without a space suit, and many huge obstacles must be overcome before even a simple colony would MAYBE one day be viable. A planet that close to its star, for OUR kind of life, would absolutely be lethal. Even if we detect an earth sized planet with water on its surface, THAT also does not mean we could actually survive there - or that it has any iife at all.
    Just something to keep in mind - don't get too excited about planets in habitable zones - MOST stars have at least one planet in a habitable zone yet space is DEATHLY quiet. If simply being in the zone equalled life, we'd be statistically speaking DROWNING in signals even if only 0.1% of them had technological civilizations.

    11:30. The JSW can't detect anything about proxima b, because the planet does not transit relative to our view.
    That means the planet orbits in a plane, that makes it hidden from direct observations on earth.
    The only way to know what proxima b looks like will be through drone/ probe imagery

      If a ship travels at a constant 1g acceleration rate it would get to Alpha Centauri in 3.6 years (7.3 years would pass on Earth) this includes turning the ship around halfway to decelerate. It would achieve about 95% light speed in 1 year. A 10 ton ship would require 10 tons of continuous thrust. This is by far the fastest way we can get to other worlds and the ship would have gravity the whole way.
      All that is needed for this is a fission rocket that can put out thrust for long periods and does not consume hydrogen, you can't bring thousands of tons of that with you.
      A true fission rocket should consume uranium or plutonium only. They are both jittery atoms that are on the verge of fissioning all by themselves. There should be a way to get them to fission in a linear fashion. What's needed is a controlled, time released nuclear explosion.
      In an atomic bomb fission occurs when neutrons hit uranium or plutonium nuclei. This is because they will not tolerate an increase in mass. Due to the equivalence of mass and energy, the same should be true if you infuse them with energy. This might be as simple as having negatively charged uranium or plutonium atoms coming into contact with positively charged uranium or plutonium atoms.
      With the constant acceleration method a ship can span the entire diameter of our galaxy in 24 ship/113,000 Earth years. Systems with stars similar to our sun can be reached in under 10 ship years.

    I keep wondering if our fascination with "finding" another Earth is predicated on our insatiable curiosity of the unknown or our growing fear of the need to leave the Earth while we still have a chance. It's likely there are many millions of civilizations scattered throughout the universe but only those where reason, critical thinking and emotional maturity dominate have any chance of survival. In other words, humanity is in serious trouble !!!!
