I wonder if there is a civilization watching and studying our solar system like we do others. I imagine them sitting and wondering if there's anyone else out there and studying our atmosphere from afar trying to figure out if our planet is habitable.

Taken from Wikipedia page: TRAPPIST-1d, also designated as 2MASS J23062928-0502285 d, is a small exoplanet (about 40% the mass of the Earth), which orbits on the inner edge of the habitable zone of the ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, located 40.7 light-years (12.5 parsecs) away from Earth in the constellation of Aquarius. The exoplanet was found by using the transit method, in which the dimming effect that a planet causes as it crosses in front of its star is measured. The first signs of the planet were announced in 2016, but it wasn't until the following years that more information concerning the probable nature of the planet was obtained. TRAPPIST-1d is the second-least massive planet of the system and is likely to have a compact hydrogen-poor atmosphere similar to Venus, Earth, or Mars.[6] It receives just 4.3% more sunlight than Earth, placing it on the inner edge of the habitable zone.[7] It has about
It's fascinating how TRAPPIST-1, despite being a red dwarf, hosts seven Earth-sized planets, potentially opening new doors in the search for extraterrestrial life. I'm particularly intrigued by the implications of its relatively cool temperature and longevity on the habitability of its orbiting planets, especially TRAPPIST-1e.
Really??? Did you visit all of trillions of red dwarf stars to know that? The LIFE can be completely different then ours on Earth!!!! @@brucemacmillan9581
@LCTesla makes wonder if you build a colony on the terminator or perhaps the dark side of a tidally locked planet could these flares not be harnessed somehow for power generation.
Ah...you forgot to mention that the Trappist system is about 10x farther away then the closest sytem to us, Centari. So traveling close to 40 light years could be a problem.
You are correct, traveling 40 light years with today’s technology won’t cut it , but in a couple of centuries it shouldn’t be a problem, who knows what the future holds in space propulsion technology?
If you travel also the speed of light...you change the physics, which is not possible to our understanding.All looks very fancy even in distant future.
...only 1/2 scorched. They are also most likely tidal locked so the other side would be frozen. This is not they system to look for life, even simple life.
Trappist is a red dwarf. To be in the Goldilocks zone, Trappist e (all Trappist planets) would orbit close to the star and, therefore, would be tidally locked. That means any habitability would probably be in the very narrow zone twilight zone on the planet. Good effort trying to stir up interest in this system.
Who cares, it's distance from us is mindboggling, seventy thousand years in a spacecraft flying at a speed that won't see it disintegrate if it hits a grain of sand
We look at dwarf stars so much because we get so many observations. The tidally locked issue means they are all most likely dead. Large exomoons might be more interesting.
@@trex4899 It has to do with mass and orbit distance. Example, the moon is tidally locked. This typically happens to any rocky planet orbiting a dwarf star in the habitable zone, resulting in what they call an eyeball planet. Hot on one side and cold on the other.
Hey, raj here from the future year 2650 we’ve finally reach full transcendence within our species & we’re able to use enough cosmic energy to warp right through those wormholes.
We need to stop looking at red dwarfs, between the solar radiation, solar flares, and most planets being tidally locked, most of these planets are garbage...
If there is life on some of these worlds, they would be unlike anything on Earth. I imagine they would have evolutionary quirks to weather periods of intense solar flares perhaps shells or even dig underground.
We live on earth. On earth there is only one kind of life, based on protein mass arranged by DNA. We know of no other kind of life, so why invoke it? Why speculate that it exists with absolutely no evidence? Sorry. Mr. KAKU, there is no time travel, no warp drive, no worm holes, no other kind of life that we KNOW OF.

It's star much older than Sun...likely there should be life...may be as intelligent or more as humans.May be they are on way to earth with their technology. 40 light years very far and may reach us with in this century or next century..who knows !
Thank God that our physiology cannot traverse the vast distances of space to make them a mess like our planet. We need to change our ways to preserve our only world or perish in it.
Do i litter? No i say punishable by death. But Thats the gayest thing ive ever heard. We were ment to explore. I think you should have been born a carpenter ant in an ant farm
In 2017, further analysis of the original observations identified five more terrestrial planets. It takes the seven planets between about 1.5 and 19 days to orbit around the star in circular orbits. They are likely tidally locked to TRAPPIST-1, such that one side of each planet always faces the star, leading to permanent day on one side and permanent night on the other. Their masses are comparable to that of Earth and they all lie in the same plane; from Earth they seem to move past the disk of the star. Up to four of the planets - designated d, e, f and g - orbit at distances where temperatures are suitable for the existence of liquid water, and are thus potentially hospitable to life. There is no evidence of an atmosphere on any of the planets, and observations of TRAPPIST-1 b have ruled out the existence of an atmosphere. It is unclear whether radiation emissions from TRAPPIST-1 would allow for such atmospheres. The planets have low densities; they may consist of large amounts of volatile materials. Due to the possibility of several of the planets being habitable, the system has drawn interest from researchers and has appeared in popular culture.
It wouldn't matter if it were an identical twin to Earth. Mankind will never get there. We will destroy ourselves long before that could ever be a possibility. It isn't pessimism, just observational results.
Fahrenheit was from the Netherlands. He's European. Not American. But yeah the metric system is superior in every possible way. Obviously. But it's fun to measure things in freedom units. 😂
With all those thousands of planets out there, there must be life on them. You think what the church says about heaven, is life on another planet. Our souls leave our bodies and move to the other planets which are beautiful, peaceful, and we start over. Quantum leap.
I wonder if they're not looking at earth at a different time? You know, no one seems to realize that we all time travel on our own planet. After all it's tomorrow in Japan.😂❤
Even if we do find a habitable planet we still don’t have the technology yet to get us there. What about supplies to build living spaces, transportation on the planet? Build roads? Mine metals and foundries to manufacture equipment? This sounds like a long term camping trip. I like to camp and hunt but not for the rest of my life.
Who says it's habitable? Do you know the requirements for an habitable planet? I think this is misleading. Here's Gemini's response to the question: Is Trappist 1b habitable? Trappist-1b is unlikely to be habitable in the way we typically think of habitable planets. Here's why: * **Not in the habitable zone:** Most scientists believe Trappist-1b is too close to its star, a red dwarf, to have liquid water on its surface, a key ingredient for life as we know it. This zone is called the habitable zone or Goldilocks zone. * **Possible lack of atmosphere:** Studies suggest Trappist-1b may not have an atmosphere, which is necessary to trap heat and maintain liquid water. However, there are some remaining possibilities: * **Tidal locking:** Some scientists theorize that Trappist-1b, like many planets close to their stars, could be tidally locked. This means one side always faces the star, and the other side is in perpetual darkness. This could create a scenario with a liquid water ocean on the side facing away from the star, despite the overall closeness. * **Redefining the habitable zone:** The close proximity to a red dwarf might also play a role. Red dwarfs emit different radiation than our Sun, so the traditional habitable zone definition might need to be adjusted for these types of stars. Overall, the question of Trappist-1b's habitability is complex and ongoing research. While it's not a strong candidate based on our current understanding, there are outside possibilities that warrant further study.
Do the Trappist planets have significant moons? They need moons to create tidal activities on the planets which creates the magnetic shield that protects the planet from radiation. All this speculation is for naught. The answer is always- does the planet have moon? Otherwise, you have Mars.
It's the internal movement of different metallic areas inside the earth that cause the magneto effect that produces our magnetic shield. Not the moon's gravitational effect. The Moon effects tides in the oceans, not the internal structure of the Earth's core. Mars has two moons, but has no magneto-sphere. it used to, about 4 billion years ago. To have a magneto-sphere you need to have planetary rotation, and not be tidally locked to the sun that the planet orbits, AND an internal core structure that can create magnetism. Due to the Red Dwarf these planets orbit being so weak compared to our Yellow dwarf, they "goldilocks zone" is much closer in, that usually means anything orbiting is "tidally locked" and does not spin, negating the chance of any internal process that creates a magneto-sphere even if there was the needed internal structure to produce a magnetic effect.
@@iffracem Hi. Thank You! The Earth's Moon has a definite effect on our magnetosphere. It's about the plasmsphere and the tidal pull on the Earth's outer molten core. Earth's outer molten core is tidally affected by the Moon's gravitational pull. This has kept the core hot, molten and stable. It is the Earth's geodynamo activity (with the Moon and Sun) that keeps our magnetosphere.
No they haven’t. Not even Webb can do this. It can only see dips in light when a planet passes its star. If you could, then you could see the atmosphere of a planet and could we see that we could also see artificial light from a planet. We can’t do any of that.
They are light years away for the same reason-to prevent us humans from deteriorating or causing damage like we did on Earth. For this reason, everything is prearranged and kept separate, far away.
we will never reach such far away worlds, it is technologically impossible, maybe, like in the sci-fi tv show ascension where the voyage spans different generations to reach the planet, so, many people who took this voyage would never see the planet and die allong the way, thats the reality of it all
I have some more "reality" to pile on top of that. Sure such a generational space ship may be possible by the laws of physics. But it would have to be huge. So building it would be so expensive, take so long, and the precision required for such technology would be so difficult to develop, The project could not be achieved. Perhaps a few people in the world might be able to remain committed to carrying it out to the end, but most people in the world would either not care enough to support such an endeavor, lose patience as it took decades, or just plain be unwilling to contribute the tax money needed for this. 😞 I'm sorry, but that is one of the biggest barriers to space travel by humanity, and not just the U S A.
BUT WAIT! We are assuming nothing changes in ways we can't now predict. 💡 For example, we may be visited by extraterrestrials from beyond our solar system who _could_ travel there, and would be willing to take us there. 😃
@@TheNoiseySpectator i completely agree, unless there is no other choice, say, because the earth will be destroyed in x years, maybe then would they use all of earth's recources for such an endeavour, people can do extraordinary things when threatned into extinction
You're full of it saying JWST can see surfaces of exoplanets. They calculate mass by how the planet makes its star wabble. I believe we would need an unbelievably big telescope to actually image an exoplanet. As of now we only get light spectrum through their atmospheres.
It’s to bad that it’s going to be a couple millennia before we have the technology to visit this solar system and even longer before we can even consider living on a different planet.
Thanks for this video. The last time i looked into this subject was when there were news anout Kepler-B being earth-like, which was about 10+ years ago. Have you guys paid attention to the latest UFO news from the U.S.? It'd be interesting to see how everything meshes together. I'm keepeing a close eye and ear on that while being a bit skeptical. Imagine what our lives could be like if we could travel and interact with species from other planets, learning from one another. With so much chaos going on in our world, it kinda makes me a bit sad but hopeful that intelligent life might really exist out there somewhere. It's a strange feeling for sure! Thanks for making this video:)
Because we already know all about what we can know about Proxima Centauri. We didn't even have to use transit spectroscopy because we were close enough to observe the gravitational pull of Proxima B altering the movement of its star. There's literally nothing else to know until someone decides to spend the rest of their life on a 4 lightyear trip to the star in question.
Humans haven't even returned to the moon in *years,* so I seriously doubt we'll ever go anywhere before natural disasters (or human caused), in our solar system, destroys life on our planet, Earth😞 ...Nice to dream and imagine though!🙏 ❤
I love our Sun. Its a life giving Sun. There is no other sun like it. I don't like those red suns and their planets for humans to try and live on. We should just appreciate the Earth and Our Sun.
Life in a tide locked planet... Is it possible? Could there be an electromagnetic field in it to hinder the incoming radiation of our very close red dwarf neighbor? Also, wouldn't any water become trapped in the dark face? If that is the best we have for "habitable" I say we should spend more time finding solutions for the life here on earth. And getting our shit tightly packed together, before trying to expand. 😂
And then, those planets orbit around a damn frenzy-flaring red dwarf that cancels the slightest possibility for any kind life. Plus that red dwarfs are interesting only for the war of publications between universities, and the reasons are profound. The best exoplanet that could possibly host some kind of life, depending on its star's incoming light that is a bit shorter wavelength boundary for photosynthesis (bigger chlorophyl A wavelength or lowest temperature is about 690 nm for 4200 Kelvins), , is Kepler-442 b, which give a temperature (Gaia DR3) of 4472 Kelpvins and as a result 648 nm, 42 nm above (shorter wavelength) the red edge. There is where we should focus, for the next 4-5 years.
The moment you land there you'll say "what? That's all? I spent 70 years in cryosleep just to reach dead planet that's causing me to break out in hives?!"
Never say never. Imagine explaining to ancient people that we would one day have nuclear weapons and energy etc. The technology we have. Give it a few hundred/thousand years and if we are still here, who knows what we will have discovered.
The chemistry in our planet is unique ! The proportion of matter along the orbit and solar system is perfectly adjusted so the human life can exist... the chemistry of carbon and the 4 forces of matter demonstrates the .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 possibility of another planet can be useful for human life
Imagine if our known universe was simply a single cell of a tiny living being with an extremely short lifespan...that would put everything in a completely new perspective...
The most important thing is that it's safe from humans. It would be nice if all the animals, plants and insects of Earth could somehow be transported there since they're definitely not safe.
I don't think they are. They're not within reach for us to inhabit it. Any planet is potentially habitable, considering life 'as we DON'T know it' might come in very different flavors.
THIS. A lot of headlines are so strict, they say stuff like carbon based life is the only possible life, or you cant split quarks. Stuff with time may be debunked. As we know it, these facts are true, but we should stop using absolutes.
Nasa Parker Solar Probe has reached at a speed of (635,266 km/h) I think even in today technology we can make a spaceship which can be reach at (1,500,000 km/h) we all countries and their people really wish to
We wouldn’t have any need to look for new worlds if we put this one in order. How much of earths resources will we squander exploring space ? If we settle any other planets, we’ll only bugger them up just the same.
You should use words like "could" "maybe" "possibly" rather than word that denote a fact. The point is, as a astronomer, we know very little about trappist-1 and it's planets, let alone all your speculation about how to live there. We are far from ever going there for many reasons. The travel alone will take centuries at the speeds of space travel we can currently achieve. Secondly, the Law of Relativity, asserts that the faster we go, the more likely that craft will be destroyed by near light-speed particles causing catastrophic destruction of that craft. If we slow down it would be less likely, BUT the time to reach T-1 will be many centuries. We can't get smaller reducing the size of the craft getting hit. Put it this way, if we sent 100 pods instead of a giant craft, maybe 1/20 would make the trip in 100 centuries, plus the need for oxygen, space to move, eating, eliminating, loneliness, and so much more. The psychological effects of living near a red dwarf will have extreme effect on humans. No space here to explain. So, this speculation you assert is mute, maybe even pointless.
It would make far more sense to crow earth crops on the habitable Trappist worlds in sealed and radiation-shielded arcologies using LED grow lights that mimic Earth's sun.
it would take 40 years traveling at the speed of light, and of course to send any report back once there would take 40 years to get here. Even 100 years from now, it would a reasonable guess that modern human civilization would have collapsed, and we would be living in caves or huts again, since when the internet crashes and electricity is shutoff nobody will know how to do anything themselves since the robots will stop working.
Excellent video. There are great hopes that one day humans will be able to colonize the exoplanet Trappist-1e. Now is the time to colonize Mars and keep Europa, Ganymede and Titan 🪐in mind. It is up to the next generations to do that work.❤
The next generation is too busy carrying a tambourine and soliciting help from the government who will be more than happy to enslave them. Like in the movie the Time Machine, there will be Morlocks and Eloi just like today. They're just not eating us. YET!
With what we learn today could be helpful in the future . If we live long enough or are planet lives long enough to achieve this. Perhaps 10000 years into the future. We will have the technology to ask to go half the speed of light
I wonder if there is a civilization watching and studying our solar system like we do others. I imagine them sitting and wondering if there's anyone else out there and studying our atmosphere from afar trying to figure out if our planet is habitable.
They should be able to detect our radio wave signals if they are around 100 light years away. Not many candidates for that range.
we are alone in the universe
WE are the intelligent aliens that everyone is looking for.

It's the internal movement of different metallic areas inside the earth that cause the magneto effect that produces our magnetic shield. Not the moon's gravitational effect.
The Moon effects tides in the oceans, not the internal structure of the Earth's core.
Mars has two moons, but has no magneto-sphere. it used to, about 4 billion years ago.
To have a magneto-sphere you need to have planetary rotation, and not be tidally locked to the sun that the planet orbits, AND an internal core structure that can create magnetism.
Due to the Red Dwarf these planets orbit being so weak compared to our Yellow dwarf, they "goldilocks zone" is much closer in, that usually means anything orbiting is "tidally locked" and does not spin, negating the chance of any internal process that creates a magneto-sphere even if there was the needed internal structure to produce a magnetic effect.
@@iffracem Hi. Thank You! The Earth's Moon has a definite effect on our magnetosphere. It's about the plasmsphere and the tidal pull on the Earth's outer molten core. Earth's outer molten core is tidally affected by the Moon's gravitational pull. This has kept the core hot, molten and stable. It is the Earth's geodynamo activity (with the Moon and Sun) that keeps our magnetosphere.
Yo ain’t no way there’s actually people living there in that planet u can see in the game app solar smash I can see lights on like earth
No they haven’t. Not even Webb can do this. It can only see dips in light when a planet passes its star. If you could, then you could see the atmosphere of a planet and could we see that we could also see artificial light from a planet. We can’t do any of that.
Way cool information with visual effects, Thanks Love New Discoveries of the Universe.
They are light years away for the same reason-to prevent us humans from deteriorating or causing damage like we did on Earth. For this reason, everything is prearranged and kept separate, far away.
we will never reach such far away worlds, it is technologically impossible, maybe, like in the sci-fi tv show ascension
where the voyage spans different generations to reach the planet, so, many people who took this voyage would never see the planet
and die allong the way, thats the reality of it all
I have some more "reality" to pile on top of that.
Sure such a generational space ship may be possible by the laws of physics.
But it would have to be huge. So building it would be so expensive, take so long, and the precision required for such technology would be so difficult to develop,
The project could not be achieved.
Perhaps a few people in the world might be able to remain committed to carrying it out to the end, but most people in the world would either not care enough to support such an endeavor, lose patience as it took decades, or just plain be unwilling to contribute the tax money needed for this. 😞
I'm sorry, but that is one of the biggest barriers to space travel by humanity, and not just the U S A.
BUT WAIT!
We are assuming nothing changes in ways we can't now predict. 💡
For example, we may be visited by extraterrestrials from beyond our solar system who _could_ travel there, and would be willing to take us there.
😃
@@TheNoiseySpectator i completely agree, unless there is no other choice, say, because the earth will be destroyed in x years, maybe then would they use all of earth's recources for such an endeavour, people can do extraordinary things when threatned into extinction
@@TheNoiseySpectator that would be cool
These planets are tidally locked and incapable of having life due to them being flare stars
..next on my bucket “holiday” list !
We were not discovered by scientists.
You're full of it saying JWST can see surfaces of exoplanets. They calculate mass by how the planet makes its star wabble. I believe we would need an unbelievably big telescope to actually image an exoplanet. As of now we only get light spectrum through their atmospheres.
At best we can only see a fraction of a pixel on the imaging plane.
Nice focus of the Telescope guys keep it up😮😮😮😮😮😢😢😢
Life like us on our planet is so unique!
It’s to bad that it’s going to be a couple millennia before we have the technology to visit this solar system and even longer before we can even consider living on a different planet.
Thanks for this video. The last time i looked into this subject was when there were news anout Kepler-B being earth-like, which was about 10+ years ago. Have you guys paid attention to the latest UFO news from the U.S.? It'd be interesting to see how everything meshes together. I'm keepeing a close eye and ear on that while being a bit skeptical.
Imagine what our lives could be like if we could travel and interact with species from other planets, learning from one another. With so much chaos going on in our world, it kinda makes me a bit sad but hopeful that intelligent life might really exist out there somewhere. It's a strange feeling for sure!
Thanks for making this video:)
Id rather study the two rings around uranus
Please include metric measurements next time.
Why are we not concentrating on the nearest star to us? The one that is actually possible to send messages to in a realtime frame ?
Because we already know all about what we can know about Proxima Centauri. We didn't even have to use transit spectroscopy because we were close enough to observe the gravitational pull of Proxima B altering the movement of its star. There's literally nothing else to know until someone decides to spend the rest of their life on a 4 lightyear trip to the star in question.
@@jamesshore3191 have we sent messages there via radio waves?
We SO need FTL starships.
Planet 4 has intelligent life.
Humans haven't even returned to the moon in *years,* so I seriously doubt we'll ever go anywhere before natural disasters (or human caused), in our solar system, destroys life on our planet, Earth😞 ...Nice to dream and imagine though!🙏 ❤
I love our Sun. Its a life giving Sun. There is no other sun like it. I don't like those red suns and their planets for humans to try and live on. We should just appreciate the Earth and Our Sun.
If If, And's & Butts were candy and nuts we'd ALL have a Merry Christmas
Thinking we can leave this world is a total waste of time. It's never going to happen. Keep dreaming
Life is impossible in a planet that always faces its parent star
Life in a tide locked planet... Is it possible? Could there be an electromagnetic field in it to hinder the incoming radiation of our very close red dwarf neighbor?
Also, wouldn't any water become trapped in the dark face?
If that is the best we have for "habitable" I say we should spend more time finding solutions for the life here on earth.
And getting our shit tightly packed together, before trying to expand. 😂
And then, those planets orbit around a damn frenzy-flaring red dwarf that cancels the slightest possibility for any kind life. Plus that red dwarfs are interesting only for the war of publications between universities, and the reasons are profound. The best exoplanet that could possibly host some kind of life, depending on its star's incoming light that is a bit shorter wavelength boundary for photosynthesis (bigger chlorophyl A wavelength or lowest temperature is about 690 nm for 4200 Kelvins), , is Kepler-442 b, which give a temperature (Gaia DR3) of 4472 Kelpvins and as a result 648 nm, 42 nm above (shorter wavelength) the red edge. There is where we should focus, for the next 4-5 years.
bruh why they gotta name it like that...
At 9:29 ... trillions of years for life to evolve in a universe that's 13.8 billion years old.
What is most painful is that 😢, we'll keep studying them, but we'll never ever go there😭😭💔
The moment you land there you'll say "what? That's all? I spent 70 years in cryosleep just to reach dead planet that's causing me to break out in hives?!"
If there was a way that humans could live there....They would only ruin it and treat it with disrespect like they have Earth.
Don't worry 😊😊, we will be there in our lifeline 😅😅, I hope so ......
Yeah just what we need a space mall. All we would do is build a fucking Starbucks.
Never say never. Imagine explaining to ancient people that we would one day have nuclear weapons and energy etc. The technology we have. Give it a few hundred/thousand years and if we are still here, who knows what we will have discovered.
Hopefully, we discover some kind of a wormhole in the future to allow us to travel close to this planet.
The chemistry in our planet is unique ! The proportion of matter along the orbit and solar system is perfectly adjusted so the human life can exist... the chemistry of carbon and the 4 forces of matter demonstrates the .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 possibility of another planet can be useful for human life
I am suggesting that the JWST should scan Jupiter , Saturn 🪐 and Uranus planets so that we know what are inside them
Using anaerobic plants could increase the ozone level making it safer.
Its so interestyng this video I like it
Didn’t JWST find that the chances of life here are not that great
That JWST data are for Trappist-1 b and c. No data for the rest of the star system so far.
Is this all guess by scientists or are they actually able to confirm these studies on these planets?
🤔 um… at 4:50 he said freezing temp is 0°Fahrenheit but that’s not right. 0°Celsius is freezing, but that’s 32°F
If it’s tidally locked, it’s by definition not more habitable than earth
I believe we should leave that world alone. Admire it from a far.
It’s like having dreams to travel the world and then getting a life sentence
Imagine if our known universe was simply a single cell of a tiny living being with an extremely short lifespan...that would put everything in a completely new perspective...
The most important thing is that it's safe from humans. It would be nice if all the animals, plants and insects of Earth could somehow be transported there since they're definitely not safe.
thank you . temperature warnings
Temperatures in Fahrenheit? That sounds oddly unscientific...
I don't think they are. They're not within reach for us to inhabit it. Any planet is potentially habitable, considering life 'as we DON'T know it' might come in very different flavors.
Maybe in our life time but that’s what makes these hypothesis’ interesting.
wonder if darts where " lost inn space is!
THIS. A lot of headlines are so strict, they say stuff like carbon based life is the only possible life, or you cant split quarks. Stuff with time may be debunked. As we know it, these facts are true, but we should stop using absolutes.
Nice bit of science fiction. No one has ever photographed a planet that looked like earth.
Let's get down to earth and try to solve earth's problem and prevent it from being destroyed by some.
Где посмотреть полный фильм???
If we were to travel to this system travelling at 40km/s or 144,000 km/h , it would take humans 300,000 years to reach there
Nasa Parker Solar Probe has reached at a speed of (635,266 km/h)
I think even in today technology we can make a spaceship which can be reach at (1,500,000 km/h) we all countries and their people really wish to
If all countries and their people really wish to
14:31 415 Miles deep???😮😢🥺
Ice 7??
We wouldn’t have any need to look for new worlds if we put this one in order. How much of earths resources will we squander exploring space ? If we settle any other planets, we’ll only bugger them up just the same.
You should use words like "could" "maybe" "possibly" rather than word that denote a fact. The point is, as a astronomer, we know very little about trappist-1 and it's planets, let alone all your speculation about how to live there. We are far from ever going there for many reasons. The travel alone will take centuries at the speeds of space travel we can currently achieve. Secondly, the Law of Relativity, asserts that the faster we go, the more likely that craft will be destroyed by near light-speed particles causing catastrophic destruction of that craft. If we slow down it would be less likely, BUT the time to reach T-1 will be many centuries. We can't get smaller reducing the size of the craft getting hit. Put it this way, if we sent 100 pods instead of a giant craft, maybe 1/20 would make the trip in 100 centuries, plus the need for oxygen, space to move, eating, eliminating, loneliness, and so much more. The psychological effects of living near a red dwarf will have extreme effect on humans. No space here to explain. So, this speculation you assert is mute, maybe even pointless.
I'd rather live there than earth. Earth seems to have an infestation
Yes and if nature didn't want us here, we wouldn't be here.
It would make far more sense to crow earth crops on the habitable Trappist worlds in sealed and radiation-shielded arcologies using LED grow lights that mimic Earth's sun.
Still using old imperial measurements. Most of the world uses Celsius now trying keeping up to date.
FYI............Its a dead world.............
I wish we had the technology to go there and study and live on their it will be a lifetime experience to see
No. Us humans don’t need to mess up any other planets
I can definitely agree with you most problems pollution all comes from humans
it would take 40 years traveling at the speed of light, and of course to send any report back once there would take 40 years to get here.
Even 100 years from now, it would a reasonable guess that modern human civilization would have collapsed, and we would be living in caves or huts again,
since when the internet crashes and electricity is shutoff nobody will know how to do anything themselves since the robots will stop working.
Excellent video. There are great hopes that one day humans will be able to colonize the exoplanet Trappist-1e. Now is the time to colonize Mars and keep Europa, Ganymede and Titan 🪐in mind. It is up to the next generations to do that work.❤
The next generation is too busy carrying a tambourine and soliciting help from the government who will be more than happy to enslave them. Like in the movie the Time Machine, there will be Morlocks and Eloi just like today. They're just not eating us. YET!
With what we learn today could be helpful in the future . If we live long enough or are planet lives long enough to achieve this. Perhaps 10000 years into the future. We will have the technology to ask to go half the speed of light
we cannot even move to mars that for sure.. then why these kind of research amd studies necessary..
The future. Sheesh.
Because mars is the closest place for us to go..we cant go further
With your attitude, man would still be living like chimps.
Currently we can't get there, but in a few centuries or so we could.
