To the channel's administrator: The most recent paper about the mass of Proxima b proves it has a lower mass than previously thought. The mass, according to this paper is 1.071 x Earth's and not 1.3 x. This paper has been released in February 10, 2022. The radius must indeed be 1.1 x Earths, and empirically I calculate it to a maximum 1.1508 x Earths, which gives a density of 3.87 g/cm^3 for the planet. It seems like the planet is mostly Mars-like in terms of density, probably slightly denser to a max of 4.43 g/cm^3. The most important thing: The star, as a red dwarf, flares a lot, and very frequently, so most likely no atmosphere there. Almost certainly a big, rocky, radiation-contaminated dead ball
@@Overlyamplified no there is, atmosphere and magnetic sheilding could play a part in it not being a "dead ball" much like the earth itself is protected. Mars lost its sheilding which causes mars to lose atmospehere every day.
@@rayvencraft Thank god okay, I though the same, good that there is hope. Btw, imagine this. This is very very close to us, now imagine how many planets in goldilock zone are in our galaxy. Space is awesome🙂
@@rayvencraft In this case, because of the star's activity it s very difficult for this to happen, if not impossible. The fact that red dwarfs have strong magnetic fields does not mean they protect their planets. The flaring activity itself is destruvtive to biomolecules because of the strong radiation and charged particles that are released. For a certain magnetic field (and as a result, protection of the planet) to really exist, the planet must spin and must also have a core of ferromagnetic elements in a liquid state. Even if such a core exists, the planet has stopped spinning because of tidal friction (a result that comes out due to the very small distance of the planet to its host star). Even at the dark side of the planet, the radiation received from Proxima would be at huge levels, so all those parameters suggest no possibility for any kind of life there. The meaning, in few words: To be protected, it must spin, and it does not spin because it is very close (to the host star)

I can’t wait for the day we find life outside of our own planet, I feel it will truly unite mankind more than anything. Hopefully we acknowledge all the potential we’ve squandered debating each other every which way.
When I look at the pictures from Webb, I have to sort of zone out when I try to contemplate the distances, and time, and immensity of our Universe. To think that what we're looking at happened billions of years ago...what does it look like now? Can't wrap my head around it. Just trying to appreciate the beauty of it all is hard enough. And yet ~ here we are! Thanks, NASA.
The amount of things that have recently been discovered that "changes everything" absolutely amazes me and I have no idea how life hasn't dramatically changed for us all!😒
When everything changes, it doesnt happen in a snap. These discoveries in space are steps to change everything for "all of us". If we could focus more on things that will change things, rather than many things that most of the people are focusing on, who mostly are the people who think, that its weird or pointless to be curious about science or even political subjects.
Wild the way it changes literally nothing. This plant sucks. Doesn’t have a rotation, little atmosphere and 160,000 years to get there. So tired of “cold be water”. Like can’t they just find a planet out of the billions that is actually like earth?
I was delighted to find this video. I had recently bought all three of the Arthur Templar series for my grandson for Christmas. I have to confess I wrapped the covers of each book so that I could read them all without marking them. I really loved them. I think my grandson will, too. I don’t want to give anything away about the plot, but Proxima Centauri figures in the trilogy. If you like a cool read situated in speculative fiction, then it’s a well-written trilogy and worth a read. The trilogy shares the Banner ‘Arthur Templar and the’ The first one is The Curse of the Nibiru, The second one is The Secret Codex, and the last one is the Serpo Gambit. I enjoyed each one.
There surely is life somewhere out there, we haven't even explored other planets in our own solar system. There are still countless solar systems out there in our Milky Way Galaxy. There are countless Galaxies and inside those Galaxies are countless Solar Systems, Planets, and Stars. There is no way that there is no other life or living beings in all those countless Galaxies and Planets.
Life outside our galaxy is irrelevant due to the distances involved. We would never know of them or have any means of traversing the void. The odds of tech level intelligent life within our galaxy is about zero when you take all the factors into consideration.
It's just the lack of technology and the distance that's bothering us. There will be many solar systems, and each of them could at least have 1 planet with life
I remember when Carl Sagan's Cosmos came out. He spoke a lot about the search for life outside of the Earth. I remember thinking, what is he going on about. But now, I caught the bug and am excited for the possibilities for life on places like Europa and Proxima Centauri.
Actually I think life on Europa would be an awesome find. To find that out that it’s exactly like earth yet more hospitable. Cause I’ll be honest I don’t think we’re native to this planet we’re on and I’d like to find out if we actually was planted here from some other planet. Cause I think we come from some other place other than here.
@@radicalred474 Yup, after traveling hundreds of light years to get here we were dumped off and left with a few stone tools and shown how to use caves for shelter and the ship took off and they said "good luck, you're going to need it.

When the vast majority of evidence points to humans being the same then as we are today no missing link or anything.

That’s nice. If there is life its good, if not, it is still good to explore as it is in habitable zone with supportive conditions available for life. No matter its incredibly interesting and satisfying.
Good point, a planet does not have to be habitable for other life to be of interest, if it is habitable for "life as we know it". Namely we "intelligent" apes and our pet dogs and cats!! LOL ;D

@@daoyang223 There are some serious zoo theories about complex extraterrestrial life. Everything we know about the universe is veiled by the speed of light which isn’t that fast compared to the distances out there. Could be a Truman show where sol is encased in an artificial sphere.

There are some crazy 1% cases of flying objects completely unexplained by researchers as well as anomalous signals recently detected.

Indeed mate someday it will be possible...just like we pass through different metro stations someday it will be metro planets.. Just u and me won't be there to experience such a great thing.
Yup, and then landing on the new world to find it has a breathable atmosphere and all the crew take a deep breath and a few hours later are all dead due to an alien virus ten times more virulent than the Covid 19!! LOL ;D
That same probe technology should be sent to every major moon and planet in our own solar system first.. especially something to tell us if Triton or Europa have life on it.
In theory, it only works for truly interstellar missions, since it takes a few years or even decades for the solar winds to accelerate the probe to significant speeds. So, that system would actually be too slow for voyages within our solar system neighbourhood. 😊
You know.. people used to not move around a lot thousands of years ago. And when they did, it was over vast time periods. It's the same now for us. On a cosmological scale this planet is right in front of us. We just need a little more time to develop the technology to get there. Just remember that going around the globe used to be a big deal. Used to. Flying used to be seen as impossible. Used to. Going on the moon...very bold move. It's been done. Repeatedly. Don't u see the trend here? It's only a matter of time and we'll make Proxima B our next walk in the park... PS: by 'a matter of time' I'm talking tens to hundreds of years lol. But it's possible and doable. Just not right now
Sure, if we have enough time. Humans are destroying Earth. You really think we got another 100-200 years with the rate we're going? Because I doubt we're making any massive technical moves in the next 100 to push us there. Sorry, but I agree to a point. I think we could have, I think we just don't have the time anymore. We got people who would rather defund Nasa and make sure women have zero rights to their body than approve anything pushing us further into space. Wait till it's announced we got 20 years to live. Politicians will try and rush it the last year rather than actually try and get us off this planet.
@@jasolnf0079 how can u say it will 'never' happen, and then say we don't have the technology to go there in one life span? One life span is not never lol.

A habitable planet hypothesis suggests the red sun mimics the Luna/Oceanic effects on their potentially life bearing planet while enjoying a binary daytime of the twins. Basically what I’m theorizing is the redstar is too distant to solarize the planet but can still mimic the effects of a moon like ours.
Could be. If you want to laugh yourself sick, go to Hawaii and listen to your car GPS give you directions trying to pronounce the street names there!! LOL ;D
Very interested to see both of VLT as the newest advanced ground telescope in Chile, and our NASA James Watson Space Telescope that is orbiting in L-2 outside the Moon will make more new discoveries of Proxima Centurai and more new exoplanets in 4 light years away from our Solar System in future in furtherance. There still are theories in our scientific discussions by NASA and ESA.
Great video. Although that's the first time I've heard Alpha Centruai pronounced that way, I've always heard it as al-fuh-sen-taw-ree. And I'm British too.
Truthfully we can’t say what life needs. Life elsewhere may require different fundamental elements well never know till we meet someone from another world or travel to one.
there will be "life as we know it" cuz I don't think we are unique; they will likely have a planet much like ours and others on say a planet like Proxima b will be very different cuz conditions will be nothing like ours there, dim light, tidally locked, high radiation etc. But on some "water worlds", life forms will likely all look like Kenvin Costner, for example!!

Yes, love those drone flybys, there is a yt channel that does those for a lot of recent finds of exoplanets, many in the Kepler series for example, including some that may support life. Can't remember name, but search of something like a trip to Kepler and some number of a recent find there.

@@alexlascu2136 yeah it was explained in the documentary that in the Alpha Centauri System there is gas giant Polyphemus which is similar to our planet Saturn. The only difference is that Polyphemus has an Earth-like habitable extrasolar moon. Try watching it some time it's so educational.
@@Jas-rx7ek I mean how is everything a theory. We have proven many things on earth and now we are applying the laws of the universe we discovered here to other planets.
We may not know all there is to know about our oceans, but humanity, to progress, certainly could not just focus on knowing all there is to know in just one thing then move on to the next. We could do many explorations simultaneously, and already there are people and developing technologies to do both exploration of our oceans and the cosmos. And that goes also for other objects and places to explore.
Well you can find out a lot about space with just cheap binoculars than some cheap goggles looking In the ocean. The ocean is crushing with pressure, corrosive, and cold. We’re getting there though.
We are 425 years away from them Which means they see earth from 425 years ago Specifically the year 1598 in 1500's if they had a good telescope lmao So you never know, they can be more advanced than us Space is really crazy, i can imagine that they also have a social app like youtube and typing about us right now lmfao
There's a magnificent thrilling sci-fi trilogy written by the Chinese author Cixin Liu which tells about an intelligent advanced civilization living in a planet orbiting this star system, they're called Trisolarians.

I like how they’re relying on water on these planets for any signs of life, this would only be true for life AS WE KNOW IT, truth is we don’t have a clue what life on other planets need to survive
Yes, it is much like looking for water in the desert here. It's good to start there at least because we know water is necessary for life like ours in the desert too. But some animals, like kangaroo rats, can make their own water from the foods they eat so you point is well taken. There are other solvents and liquids too besides water!
@@LineOfThy yes, and they say, for earth, it comes from space, over many years, delivered by comets and such! And once it is here, in sufficient quantity, it sets up the hydrological cycle, that could last a very long time. But it did not on Mars or Venus due to other changes not "friendly" to water, on the surface at least, to remain. But it may be trapped underground and in some ice caps, like on Mars. We'll see soon, hopefully! : )
My question is, if they can accelerate the probes to 20% SOL by the use of laser. How do they slow them down so they don’t just blast right past the system they wish to explore? There needs to be some variety of braking system. Or are they intending to use the gravitational pull of the stars to capture the group and scatter them around the rest of the system? Is the gravitational pull great enough to capture the probes due to their low density?
Zooming through the past Proxima and capturing what information they can, in a matter of hours, is exactly what the probes will have to do. I think this is the reason why the plan is to send a swarm of probes that can encounter different parts of the system. Exactly aiming a single probe would be very difficult at such a large distance.
we can just utilize the tech that has already been tested from recovered crafts which create their own gravitational field allowing for quite literally the impossible to become possible for forms of what we'd consider propulsion. bob lazar spoke on this in depth for years prior to the fuel source he said as element 115.. every one doubted him and governments hid his truth for being involved with projects... then the element was created and stable shortly before going poof.... then documents became un-classified recently and even verifying the majority of his claims. ---- if we can get 115 to be stable completely then we can utilize it as bob described the crafts that he worked on legitimately just effecting everything around them pulling with a generated gravitational field... instead of the crafts propelling via propulsion. and never making it or taking 100's of years to get there
In space you decelerate the same way you accelerate. Just turn the probe to the opposite side dudes. Edit: It would need a in-board propulsion system. But it kill the point of this probe, my bad.
Would love to see these AI based probes powered by nuclear energy, travel at very very high speed so that it may take only few decades to reach there & send the data back. Perhaps, the aliens who live there are doing the same. We call their probes as UFOs. What do you say?
the one cool thing is that, for now, with this star shot, it takes a long time (at a fraction of light speed) to get there but a relatively short time to send information back at the full speed of light.
There are speculation from scientis about the morphology of aliens depending on the environment they develop. Telling the truth,they must have in common many features with us. The carbon sciovinism tells us C element is the best creating elements,while also silicium but silicon organisms should growth slowly like crystals. Then the darwinism and natural selection will be a law also for alien organidm:they would compete for energy,develop motion, eyes,sonar if they live with no light, etc. Anyway I wouldn't a contact with advanced alien civs, I believe they would treat us like colonislist did with africans amerinds south asians etc. Because evolution will push the most violent at the top.
I feel like any tiny difference in the environment would eventually result in massive differences in the appearance and evolution of life. I might be completely wrong, obviously. It just seems like a possibility to me.
@@radinak2809 I guess organisms will only adapt to survive so yeah depending on the environment will develop the capabilities to live in that environment. But also we may not be able to survive it because there can be many factors for us to have a chance to survive on a planet seeing that people can only live in orbit of earth for less than a year and have great effects on how gravity pulls people. So let alone our own bodies may not be able to get use to a planets gravitational pull. As it will take years to reach the planet and less gravitational force on our bodies from years of travel and have great impacts on how we could live on another planet.

I would also like webb to look at Tau Ceti star system it is the closest sun like star that has at least 1 planets in the habitable zone.
The news about this planet is extremely intriguing. So I want probes to be sent there as soon as possible, and the planet itself was examined by the latest and most advanced telescopes. My intuition tells me that someone really lives there and when we finally discover evidence of extraterrestrial life, it will be a historic moment for humanity. I really want this to happen in my lifetime. 😃

@@Scema12 except evolution, and mutation is a thing. How very simple your brain must be to not have a complex thought that has any science behind it. Im so sorry! 😟
I've always had a this question for the science community, how fast are we actually moving on the earth? if the sun is moving at 200 kilometers a second, the earth is going 390 kilometers a second, and the earth is spinning at a certain speed. So if we were is space and actually stopped to and were not trapped in anything's relative velocity, what would that be like? Would actually figure out we are going faster then we think because we also escape the Milky way galaxy's relative velocity. Could you actually make a full stop in space? Someone let me know
you cannot have a velocity that isn’t a relative velocity, so yes, you can be at a full stop in space relative to some frame of reference, but that frame of reference is arbitrary, and there is no frame of reference that is just “space” as a reference frame requires a particular point in space-time to be used as an origin point.
Hope Webb telescope could observe the entire Alpha Centauri triple star system clearly, include Alpha Centauri A、B、C and all their planet. Wish to know Proxima B like Mars.
My biggest problem with the small probes for observing proxima b is once they are accelerated to that speed, how will they slow down in order to get into position and make any observations? To the best of my understanding, there aren't enough particles in open space to slow basically anything down, but maybe I could be wrong given the very small mass of these probes.
They won't be slowing down, that's why the plan is to send a constant stream of them to fly past and transmit observations. 1 gram isn't much, but as technology improves we'll be able to put better equipment on them, especially if we're sending many, they can be specialised for 1 task.
@@The1stDukeDroklar That's what I've read. I agree they won't be as good as even an old nokia, but each one can be specialised and transmit to the ones further back in the chain. As tech progresses we'll be able to send better equipment
A very primitive tribe in West Africa reported to French explorers that their ancestors were visited by aliens from the sky. They were the Dogons and they could draw an accurate star map indicating the location of the three Proximas along with the trajectory of their stars. They said that those aliens were from those planets and they taught them basic knowledge of tool-making. Truth is stranger than fiction : those accounts were related to the French explorers before World War II.
The thing is if we ever made contact and landed on a different planet with civilization how would we communicate. They wouldn’t speak any language we speak here on earth and something as simple as a handshake or wave might not mean anything to them so how would we communicate
I was saying that we could look for cloud shapes on planets which would tell us said planets have atmospheres and a substance what can be evaporated by the estimated temperature which is caused by the tilt of the axis relative to the home star and since water’s evaporation point is 100 Celsius, if we compare temperatures, then there could possibly be liquid water. But if you don’t take a moment to think about that and immediately insult me, misconceptions will evolve :)
The system should also be examined for any 'sexoplanets'. These are, in my theory, 2 planets banging each other and making baby planets in the process.
there used to be a type of stars called prototype stars which create new stars or sun , just like reproduction. They were prominent during the early stages of big bang.
Nice video. But a very important correction, -40C equals -40F, not -104F as you put it the video at 5m18s mark! Is the only number in both scales were they coincide

@@javiermoretti1825 if we can travel the stars without losing time. we don't need to go back to the past or time travel we just need to find ways to cancel time. meaning moving from one place to another without time loss. we need planet calibrator machines that can change the position rotation of planets and machines that can create atmosphere. we already now the constants of the universe that allows life to exist. we only need to mimic it to others planets.
Why do we always consider life to exist on human terms...there could be different life forms out there which can survive in the lowest or hottest temperature...
We don’t always consider. Many scientists speculate that different planets will evolve very different from ours but we don’t have a pinpoint on how exactly their evolution will be so we use ours as a map
@@Kriscuit_Bonkin yes, we have to start somewhere and what we now know is what we know, based on a small sample size of one. And within that one there is quite a lot of diversity based on local conditions. Maybe we'll get some more in our own solar system soon.
If there is plenty of Oxygen to breathe, water, & harmless environment. I believe there may be life in there, even in microbial form. But we don't know yet.
microbial life doesn't need oxygen necessarily. There are plenty of bactiria and other microscopic life forms on earth who life without using oxygen. The thing is: we know nothing and it is hard to even investigate from here especially if we want to receive data in a relatively close time frame
that's from a humans pov...but what if there are lifeforms that don't require oxygen to breathe? maybe they've evolved differently and our standards of "lifeform" don't really count.
@@2peysta And I've argued as above because the basis of biology and physics that we know says so. Maybe, 7 characteristics of life on that planet are different? We don't know yet.
What I’m amazed at is that astronomers are still looking for water to see if a exoplanet has it. What if they lifeforms are so advanced that they don’t need water to survive?
We can only go by the evidence as it's been produced to us, therefore by definition we know where there's water there's life, that's what we can prove so that's what we have to go with.
Since im young im fascinated by the stars. I love science fiction and i still dream of being able to witness great events in space research. Also a reason why i like James Cameron's Avatar. To find a jewel like Pandora somewhere would be truly awesome
I agree. If we humans learn to manage this planet and make it thrive that will open the door to inhabiting other planets without damaging them as we are doing with the earth…that is, if we find a way to get to other planets before we face the danger of extinction.
@Victor Nieves True enough, if we humans keep doing what we do the planet simply can’t support that forever, maybe for not even that long. The rate of change keeps increasing. Although there seem to be almost limitless planets in the universe, we still are trying to verify whether there are any that will support our life forms. I have my doubts as to when/if we will find a planet that will support us, let alone find a way to get there if it is very far away. Even if there are other planets that could support us, if they aren’t as suited to supporting us as well as the earth is I wonder how well we would fare in the long run. In my opinion, hanging our hopes on another planet to live on is both abdicating our responsibility to care for the earth and entering into quite a gamble for our survival.

@@rayvencraft In this case, because of the star's activity it s very difficult for this to happen, if not impossible. The fact that red dwarfs have strong magnetic fields does not mean they protect their planets. The flaring activity itself is destruvtive to biomolecules because of the strong radiation and charged particles that are released. For a certain magnetic field (and as a result, protection of the planet) to really exist, the planet must spin and must also have a core of ferromagnetic elements in a liquid state. Even if such a core exists, the planet has stopped spinning because of tidal friction (a result that comes out due to the very small distance of the planet to its host star). Even at the dark side of the planet, the radiation received from Proxima would be at huge levels, so all those parameters suggest no possibility for any kind of life there. The meaning, in few words: To be protected, it must spin, and it does not spin because it is very close (to the host star)

I was delighted to find this video. I had recently bought all three of the Arthur Templar series for my grandson for Christmas. I have to confess I wrapped the covers of each book so that I could read them all without marking them. I really loved them. I think my grandson will, too. I don’t want to give anything away about the plot, but Proxima Centauri figures in the trilogy. If you like a cool read situated in speculative fiction, then it’s a well-written trilogy and worth a read. The trilogy shares the Banner ‘Arthur Templar and the’ The first one is The Curse of the Nibiru, The second one is The Secret Codex, and the last one is the Serpo Gambit. I enjoyed each one.
There surely is life somewhere out there, we haven't even explored other planets in our own solar system. There are still countless solar systems out there in our Milky Way Galaxy. There are countless Galaxies and inside those Galaxies are countless Solar Systems, Planets, and Stars. There is no way that there is no other life or living beings in all those countless Galaxies and Planets.
Life outside our galaxy is irrelevant due to the distances involved. We would never know of them or have any means of traversing the void. The odds of tech level intelligent life within our galaxy is about zero when you take all the factors into consideration.
It's just the lack of technology and the distance that's bothering us. There will be many solar systems, and each of them could at least have 1 planet with life

Actually I think life on Europa would be an awesome find. To find that out that it’s exactly like earth yet more hospitable.

Yes, it is much like looking for water in the desert here. It's good to start there at least because we know water is necessary for life like ours in the desert too. But some animals, like kangaroo rats, can make their own water from the foods they eat so you point is well taken. There are other solvents and liquids too besides water!
@@ronschlorff7089 but water is still the basis of all life. Where do you think the water in their food comes from?
@@LineOfThy yes, and they say, for earth, it comes from space, over many years, delivered by comets and such! And once it is here, in sufficient quantity, it sets up the hydrological cycle, that could last a very long time. But it did not on Mars or Venus due to other changes not "friendly" to water, on the surface at least, to remain. But it may be trapped underground and in some ice caps, like on Mars. We'll see soon, hopefully! : )
My question is, if they can accelerate the probes to 20% SOL by the use of laser. How do they slow them down so they don’t just blast right past the system they wish to explore? There needs to be some variety of braking system. Or are they intending to use the gravitational pull of the stars to capture the group and scatter them around the rest of the system? Is the gravitational pull great enough to capture the probes due to their low density?
Zooming through the past Proxima and capturing what information they can, in a matter of hours, is exactly what the probes will have to do. I think this is the reason why the plan is to send a swarm of probes that can encounter different parts of the system. Exactly aiming a single probe would be very difficult at such a large distance.
they dont slow down
we can just utilize the tech that has already been tested from recovered crafts which create their own gravitational field allowing for quite literally the impossible to become possible for forms of what we'd consider propulsion. bob lazar spoke on this in depth for years prior to the fuel source he said as element 115.. every one doubted him and governments hid his truth for being involved with projects... then the element was created and stable shortly before going poof.... then documents became un-classified recently and even verifying the majority of his claims. ---- if we can get 115 to be stable completely then we can utilize it as bob described the crafts that he worked on legitimately just effecting everything around them pulling with a generated gravitational field... instead of the crafts propelling via propulsion. and never making it or taking 100's of years to get there
That was already solved in first-year physics.
In space you decelerate the same way you accelerate.
Just turn the probe to the opposite side dudes.
Edit: It would need a in-board propulsion system. But it kill the point of this probe, my bad.
Would love to see these AI based probes powered by nuclear energy, travel at very very high speed so that it may take only few decades to reach there & send the data back. Perhaps, the aliens who live there are doing the same. We call their probes as UFOs. What do you say?
the one cool thing is that, for now, with this star shot, it takes a long time (at a fraction of light speed) to get there but a relatively short time to send information back at the full speed of light.
Gonna be the first man to give an alien a smooch fr fr
I wonder if alien animal/plants evolved to have similar features as organisms on earth or they look straight out of a movie.
There are speculation from scientis about the morphology of aliens depending on the environment they develop. Telling the truth,they must have in common many features with us. The carbon sciovinism tells us C element is the best creating elements,while also silicium but silicon organisms should growth slowly like crystals. Then the darwinism and natural selection will be a law also for alien organidm:they would compete for energy,develop motion, eyes,sonar if they live with no light, etc. Anyway I wouldn't a contact with advanced alien civs,
I believe they would treat us like colonislist did with africans amerinds south asians etc. Because evolution will push the most violent at the top.
I feel like any tiny difference in the environment would eventually result in massive differences in the appearance and evolution of life. I might be completely wrong, obviously. It just seems like a possibility to me.
@@radinak2809 I guess organisms will only adapt to survive so yeah depending on the environment will develop the capabilities to live in that environment.
But also we may not be able to survive it because there can be many factors for us to have a chance to survive on a planet seeing that people can only live in orbit of earth for less than a year and have great effects on how gravity pulls people. So let alone our own bodies may not be able to get use to a planets gravitational pull. As it will take years to reach the planet and less gravitational force on our bodies from years of travel and have great impacts on how we could live on another planet.
Very educative. Would like to make a follow-up on this interesting scientific field. Keep us updated.

I've always had a this question for the science community, how fast are we actually moving on the earth? if the sun is moving at 200 kilometers a second, the earth is going 390 kilometers a second, and the earth is spinning at a certain speed. So if we were is space and actually stopped to and were not trapped in anything's relative velocity, what would that be like? Would actually figure out we are going faster then we think because we also escape the Milky way galaxy's relative velocity. Could you actually make a full stop in space? Someone let me know
I actually wanna know that too now lol
you cannot have a velocity that isn’t a relative velocity, so yes, you can be at a full stop in space relative to some frame of reference, but that frame of reference is arbitrary, and there is no frame of reference that is just “space” as a reference frame requires a particular point in space-time to be used as an origin point.

yes, A and B would be interesting to find planets there cuz more like our own sun bit bigger bit smaller for A and B respectively!
My biggest problem with the small probes for observing proxima b is once they are accelerated to that speed, how will they slow down in order to get into position and make any observations? To the best of my understanding, there aren't enough particles in open space to slow basically anything down, but maybe I could be wrong given the very small mass of these probes.
They won't
this is a crude first attempt, as I imagine the first wheel was a crude first attempt! ;D LOL
They won't be slowing down, that's why the plan is to send a constant stream of them to fly past and transmit observations. 1 gram isn't much, but as technology improves we'll be able to put better equipment on them, especially if we're sending many, they can be specialised for 1 task.

@@The1stDukeDroklar That's what I've read. I agree they won't be as good as even an old nokia, but each one can be specialised and transmit to the ones further back in the chain. As tech progresses we'll be able to send better equipment
A very primitive tribe in West Africa reported to French explorers that their ancestors were visited by aliens from the sky. They were the Dogons and they could draw an accurate star map indicating the location of the three Proximas along with the trajectory of their stars. They said that those aliens were from those planets and they taught them basic knowledge of tool-making. Truth is stranger than fiction : those accounts were related to the French explorers before World War II.
Quick search says it was Sirius the Dogons allegedly had insight into, not Proxima. And those claims were easily disproven.
Лайк і комент в підтримку! Nice information 😉
The thing is if we ever made contact and landed on a different planet with civilization how would we communicate. They wouldn’t speak any language we speak here on earth and something as simple as a handshake or wave might not mean anything to them so how would we communicate
what if we meet intelligent life on proxima b? and what will our reactions be?
"Take me to your leader"! LOL
@@ronschlorff7089 yes 😂
Most likely we would be like how Europe and America treated Africa
@@memeboi3448 yeah
If there are clouds on it then there is a substance that can be evaporated which is most likely water
Nahhhh I thought coulds were cotton candy
@@skepabbas9400 believe it or not
I was saying that we could look for cloud shapes on planets which would tell us said planets have atmospheres and a substance what can be evaporated by the estimated temperature which is caused by the tilt of the axis relative to the home star and since water’s evaporation point is 100 Celsius, if we compare temperatures, then there could possibly be liquid water. But if you don’t take a moment to think about that and immediately insult me, misconceptions will evolve :)

What is a light year in earth’s time so I can understand thank you 🙏
This video give the best detail of Alpha Centuri System orbit that can be found almost nowhere else in the internet.
DESTINY IS BY FAR THE BEST SCIENCE/SPACE CHANNEL ON RUclips HANDS DOWN!

I calculated that -40°C is equal to -40°F.
Am I wrong 🤔 ?
Agreed, someone should get fired, and I can get their job.
yes, you are not wrong! The funny thing where the two systems of measurement meet.
Im curious as to how long itd take information to be transmitted that far.
speed of light, 186,000 miles per second or whatever in KM. So, from the planet Proxima b about 4 years.
4 years (remember how light years work)
The system should also be examined for any 'sexoplanets'.
These are, in my theory, 2 planets banging each other and making baby planets in the process.
there used to be a type of stars called prototype stars which create new stars or sun , just like reproduction. They were prominent during the early stages of big bang.
Haha!🤣🤣
You are hilarious
Nice video. But a very important correction, -40C equals -40F, not -104F as you put it the video at 5m18s mark! Is the only number in both scales were they coincide
Video title: There may be life in the closest star system to earth!
Video content: There probably isn't life in the closest star system to earth.
Imagine getting there and there’s identical life to humans and they all live in peace, teach us a big lesson
Or we find that "their Hitler" had won WWII LOL
@@ronschlorff7089 So they're all living in peace? Got it.
@@Rishi123456789 that's the "multiverse theory", also says Trump won the last election, which is not that much of a stretch, since he did! ;D LOL
How hard is it to put a little truth in your video title?
Is he pronouncing Centauri correctly? I've always heard it pronounced 'Sent-ouw-rey'. Google translate set to Latin pronounces it this way except the C sounds like Ch.
He’s pronouncing it wrong.
He's the only one I've ever heard pronouncing it that way, he might be from another world👽😉
depends on his homeland, lots of foreigners doing these vids and trying to speak English!! LOL
If there was a video game that looked like the thumbnail then I would play that game in a heartbeat
So fascinating
humanity should focus on circumventing the limit of speed .. if we can get around the speed of limit then we can travel the stars
Look Alcubierre Drive.
@@javiermoretti1825 if we can travel the stars without losing time. we don't need to go back to the past or time travel we just need to find ways to cancel time. meaning moving from one place to another without time loss. we need planet calibrator machines that can change the position rotation of planets and machines that can create atmosphere. we already now the constants of the universe that allows life to exist. we only need to mimic it to others planets.
Does the laser need to keep beaming behind the plated probes to be able to send data back, or just for pushing it out, thus velocity?
The latter
It is essentially using the same principles as a solar sail but instead of light pressure from the Sun it is using a focused laser to propel it.
it provides the boost to fraction of LS, then transmitters will send signals back to Earth at LS, takes about 4 years to get here.
Why do we always consider life to exist on human terms...there could be different life forms out there which can survive in the lowest or hottest temperature...
We don’t always consider. Many scientists speculate that different planets will evolve very different from ours but we don’t have a pinpoint on how exactly their evolution will be so we use ours as a map
You mean like the tardigrades?
@@Helloyapfammily kinda same
@@Kriscuit_Bonkin yes, we have to start somewhere and what we now know is what we know, based on a small sample size of one. And within that one there is quite a lot of diversity based on local conditions. Maybe we'll get some more in our own solar system soon.
It's not even necessary that life has to be even carbon based
AIGHT BOYS LET'S GO TO PANDORA!!! WOOOOOOOOOO
When he said Ocean Planet, my brain started thinking about Subnautica.
If there is plenty of Oxygen to breathe, water, & harmless environment. I believe there may be life in there, even in microbial form. But we don't know yet.
microbial life doesn't need oxygen necessarily. There are plenty of bactiria and other microscopic life forms on earth who life without using oxygen. The thing is: we know nothing and it is hard to even investigate from here especially if we want to receive data in a relatively close time frame
I honestly don’t want there to be life. It would be cool but I’m worried people might get scared and kill everything
that's from a humans pov...but what if there are lifeforms that don't require oxygen to breathe? maybe they've evolved differently and our standards of "lifeform" don't really count.
@@2peysta And I've argued as above because the basis of biology and physics that we know says so. Maybe, 7 characteristics of life on that planet are different? We don't know yet.
technically it doesn't even need oxygen or water to create organisms
They found a Brontosaurus on Proxima B?? That's crazy..... lmao
The animal hasn't been called Brontosaurus for a long time. It's Apatosaurus.
What I’m amazed at is that astronomers are still looking for water to see if a exoplanet has it. What if they lifeforms are so advanced that they don’t need water to survive?
We can only go by the evidence as it's been produced to us, therefore by definition we know where there's water there's life, that's what we can prove so that's what we have to go with.
water is how life started at earth, so assuming this is the only type of life we want water to exist. Basically we know nothing ahhahaha
Silicon-based?
The thing is, if life is so advanced in that way, would we even be able to recognize it? 🤷🏾♂️
@@namansharma6049 water isnt how life strted on earth, its how life progressed on earth.
What an amazing video 🤩
Since im young im fascinated by the stars. I love science fiction and i still dream of being able to witness great events in space research.
Also a reason why i like James Cameron's Avatar. To find a jewel like Pandora somewhere would be truly awesome
Leave all the other planets alone!
Us humans got our change here on earth and we blew it! And we will do it again
Okay you're definitely American, only Americans are that warped.... 🤔
I agree. If we humans learn to manage this planet and make it thrive that will open the door to inhabiting other planets without damaging them as we are doing with the earth…that is, if we find a way to get to other planets before we face the danger of extinction.
@@joeybarnard5006 In my view we are all common in our humanity, no matter what nationality or people group.
@@joeybarnard5006 im From the Netherlands
@Victor Nieves True enough, if we humans keep doing what we do the planet simply can’t support that forever, maybe for not even that long. The rate of change keeps increasing. Although there seem to be almost limitless planets in the universe, we still are trying to verify whether there are any that will support our life forms. I have my doubts as to when/if we will find a planet that will support us, let alone find a way to get there if it is very far away. Even if there are other planets that could support us, if they aren’t as suited to supporting us as well as the earth is I wonder how well we would fare in the long run. In my opinion, hanging our hopes on another planet to live on is both abdicating our responsibility to care for the earth and entering into quite a gamble for our survival.
