- The odds of life on Earth are like a deck of cards. It was shuffled infinitely many times, just enough to ensure that it was sorted from Ace to King at the end. Perhaps the dealer wanted it this way. Pretty thought-provoking, isn't it?

11:13 Finding what lies beyond space
Script:
When I referred to the zone that’s comfortable enough, for abiogenesis to happen, for life to exists, and for civilizations to flourish, actually it has a name. It’s called the #Goldilocks #zone. It’s one of the best tools scientists have to begin narrowing the search for habitable worlds. By definition, it’s the orbital distance from a star where temperatures would potentially allow liquid water to form on a planet’s surface.
It might be true that billions of planets and more are in this Goldilocks zone, outside our solar system. But just what kind of life are we talking about? And how do we even define life and intelligence? For example, are we excited if we discover bacterial, single-cell organisms life?
For advanced species, like the human being, to emerge as intelligent with cognitive abilities, there’s just too many Goldilocks factors that need to occur. Like: The stability of the atmosphere and chemical composition. Consistency of temperature on the planet. The stability of the solar system. Last but not least, the stability of the galaxy.
Just a slight tweak to those conditions, life is instantly in less than a second, crushed to nothing. Dissolved to nothing. You’ll suffocate to death, and at the same time roasted to ashes, which are then blown instantly away. Perhaps not the best one second of your life, is it?
Propelled by curiosity and ingenuity, humankind is strived to find the answer to this bigger question: is there life out there on another planet? If so, how did it emerge? And also.. what can we learn about it, to understand how we came to be on our home planet.
As stars move across the night sky, people of the ancient world have wondered about their place in the universe. Babylonian and Egyptian astronomers inherited a few insights that later became the basis for modern astronomy.
The modern search for extraterrestrial life has been around since the 1980s. Back then, by just using a rather simple telescope of 2.5 m long, scientists could detect this planetary disk. Just a bunch of dust and gas around the star Beta Pictoris. Fast forward to early 1990, that’s really when the discovery of exoplanets skyrocketed.
And soon enough, the first exoplanets were discovered. These planets were specifically weird in a way. Instead of orbiting a star like our planet, these two orbit a pulsar. If you don’t know what that is, imagine a rotating star, but emits electromagnetic radiation from the two poles.
It is estimated that there is at least one planet for every star in the galaxy. This means that there’s something in the order of billions of planets in the Milky Way galaxy alone, and many of them have a similar size to Earth.
So far, NASA scientists have discovered 4000+ exoplanets mostly within a 3000 light-year distance from Earth. This brings us to a few exoplanets with distinct uniqueness that’s worth mentioning.
Here’s a poster from NASA about the planet HD 40307 g.
Experience the gravity of this planet, because one thing is for sure, the gravitational pull here is much, much stronger than Earth.
Kepler-16b. It’s unique because it orbits two stars, just like Tatooine in Star Wars. Imagine how cool that would be to wake up and see double shadows like this.
Kepler-186f. Where the grass is always redder on the other side. This is completely hypothetical as of now, but future space observation could provide an answer of whether there’s an atmosphere, water and thus grass on the surface.
But one question you might ask up until this point, what’s up with all the weird names and numbering with these exoplanets? The International Astronomical Union (IAU) set a guideline that dictates the naming of these exoplanets. In summary, the first word is either named after their star or the telescope that finds them.
Speaking of discovery, this brings us to: how could these exoplanets be detected? What modern methods did we use to discover them?
Many methods have been developed to find these planetary bodies. Some of them are radial velocity and gravitational microlensing. But the most used and the most prolific form of finding exoplanets is what astronomers call ‘transit’. A method in which an exoplanet transits the host star and thus reduces the star’s light.

Last year I went to an exoplanet lecture und you summarized the many hours of science into an awesome video that did not miss any really crucial parts, keep up the good work and greetings from Austria 😊
cool
Just getting myself mentally prepared for 16mins of absolute mind fuckery
The editing here is superb.
This is high quality! You deserve more subs and views. Looking forward to the success of this channel :)
The quality is very very good
I stayed up binging videos about the Theory of Time, Gravity, and Love being connected which was the basis for the movie Interstellar. Now it’s the morning after and I can’t get enough of this channel and other videos lol
As always, very high quality content 👑🌌
🙌
the editing, the visuals, the audio. everything is perfect 🤩
Fantastic Editing and great voice and info all in one combined. Keep up the great work I was here before 50K Subs very under-rated
Please make more video. I learned alot from you. Now I know why the newly discover planet named that. Ty!
I'm as tutor, always recommend this channel to my students
Super glad to hear that!
I'm glad that I found this gem in making..!!
Great Content 👍👍
Waiting for part 2. Love it!
This video should be used in classes
Man it feels like RUclips was hiding you under a rock, then 🔥🔥! Then you appeared to my screen lol. Great job man, incredible production values, and straight up unbiased content that is put together so skillfully with no filler and all the right stuff! I also applaud you for actually showing yourself and talking. Dont get me wrong I love some of the space channels on here that are just A.I voice and no face, but no matter what I will always prefer a face and human voice. Sorry I'm not much of a wordsmith lol . Keep up the fantastic work!
This channel is gonna blow up. Only 57k subs right now but this channel will definitely have a million soon. Great content
On a bing can't stop watching 👍
Just in case you didn't know what goldilocks was..he was kind enough to take a minute to bring you up to speed..great guy..very thorough
You deserve way more subscribers man keep it up
I haven't saw something like this... Exceptional
If Earth is Goldilocks, Venus, Mars and Jupiter have to be the "THREE BEARS" 😀🌎
Corny
@@Panda-ei6em I love 'Corny' 😀👍
Knowledge
Exactly. Venus is too hot, Jupiter is too cold, Mars is the only planet in our Solar System, other than Earth itself, that is also in the Habitable Zone or Goldilocks Zone.
Mars is our only hope, but we are unlikely to be able to colonise the planet within the next 1000 years (Elon Musk has a beautiful but unrealistic dream).
Yo this channels gonna pop off. Mark
My words. This guy is very good.
Thank you for providing this sort of content!
Love ur videos 😍😍... The very first time I visited this channel there was less than 10k subs.. now 32k ...soon it will reach millions... Keep going 👏🙌
Thanks mate, stay tuned for more of Beeyond Ideas 🙌
@@BeeyondIdeas definitely 💯😍
Such an underrated channel. Good production once again. Keep up the content, I love it!
Glad you enjoy it!
Great job mate well explained👏👍
amazing video brother, keep it up
Great content and narration. Thanks a lot for this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sir your topic is of Nasa level
Beyond our current knowledge
I'm also from india
I don't wanna ignore a single second of his information. I really appreciate his work coz of course it needs lots of research to collect such reliable information. ❤️
Well explained brother 😌🫂
Simply awesome explanation ☮️☮️
Glad you think so!
Video editing is very good and interesting informative stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it
Sir your videos are very informative
Thanks for making .
👍 Hoping 100k as soon as possible.
the more I look into space the more unusual and strange this life on this planet seems to me. Fascinating!
this channel is so underrated
I thought goldilocks is a cake shop..
👌👌👌another quality content.
So good content..
Glad I found you
Welcome aboard!
You rly rly deserve a lot more views and subs, great work as always ^^
I love your channel, very good content and the editing, Visuals, Sounds, Music is just astounding. I am hooked. I have one quesion. What is the background sound/music at 07:07 I love it just listening to these sounds and your explanations, with this sound in the back the content sticks more for me. I am always trying to add weird sounds to important content, in my head, and especially these spacy techno sounds wobbles and wooooooms do it for me.
Such a great channel!
Glad you enjoy it!
Awesomeness 👌
Video about time travel please🙌
Wanna hear about that from your prospective ☺️
I always ask myself, how is it possible that given the very basic but crucial challenges we face as a humanity and given the fact we are not dealing with those challenges very well, people think that we will ever be able to colonize other worlds? Or that we are ethically speaking entitled to do so? The closest star system to us is the Alpha Centauri system, which I actually don't know if it hosts an exoplanet in the Goldilocks zone. But even if it did, it is like 4.2 LY away. So for me it's already clear that it is impossible to go there because we have other priorities... and then, people exploring the possibilities to colonize Mars and talking about creating an atmosphere there is just completely mind boggling to me. As if we will ever be able to create conditions for life
You have some serious talent !
What is the likelihood we will ever contact other intelligent life in the universe?
1) It's probable that it will require finding a planet similar to ours. Here are some of the conditions that seem necessary. Not all of these are absolutes. Not all are as necessary as others (ignore the fact that I say "must" on all of these…):
1a) It must be in the "goldilocks zone". That is, at a distance from its sun where liquid water doesn't all freeze and doesn't all boil into space.
1b) It must have lots of liquid water.
1c) It must have the conditions for abiogenesis to occur. That is, it must have the ability for organic compounds to arise spontaneously. It must have some type of spontaneously arising RNA/DNA. It must have a way for organic compounds and RNA/DNA to get together.
1d) It must have a fertile area for billions of years of single-celled organisms to produce oxygen as a by-product.
1e) It must have a very large satellite (moon). It appears that single-celled organisms may not be able to progress to more complex organisms without a very active tidal system churning the waters.
1f) It must have an atmosphere that retains oxygen that escapes from the oceans into the air.
1g) It must have a huge outer planet like Jupiter to attract or steer impacts away from the inhabited planet.
1h) It must have an electromagnetic troposphere that deflects the most harmful UV rays from hitting it.
1i) It must have a tiled axis that creates seasons. (It appears that part of the act of survival of the fittest is being able to adapt to seasons. It appears consciousness first arose in places where planning for survival for upcoming seasons occurred. This does not mean just hibernating or storing nuts for the winter. It means planting crops that become edible before winter, and figuring out ways to cultivate, harvest, and store them.)
1j) It must have the arising of consciousness.
1k) Its intelligent life must develop technology that can recognize communication from other intelligent beings and be able to respond to those communications. Radio waves are not sufficient. They dissipate at a cubic rate and hence cannot be detected except very nearby. So some sort of targeted laser-like radio beams are required.
1l) It must not have a catastrophic event like getting hit by a large meteorite or having super volcanic eruptions while intelligent life is around.
1m) It must avoid MAD (mutually-assured destruction) nuclear wars.
1n) It must not destroy its own via events like global warming.
1o) To survive for hundreds of years as intelligent beings, it must overcome competition as the driving force, and replace it with cooperation. At some point it must develop nuclear fusion as an energy source. It must survive the problems this will cause. At some point, nuclear fusion will be able to fit on devices like handguns. This means every human would have the capability of blowing up the entire planet. So all humans must cooperate with all other humans in a manner that none ever gets angry enough to kill everybody else. This means MAD (mutually-assured destruction) is available for each human, not just for a dozen or so heads of state. It must figure out a way to keep MAD nuclear handguns out of the hands of children and less cognizant beings. It must figure out a way to be sustainable in its needs for food and shelter for all its humans.
Like I said, I don't know how many of these are absolutes, and which are more necessary than others.
2) It must survive long enough to communicate with other intelligent life. This means that it must send targeted laser-like communications to every potential earth-like planet until one happens to also be at a similar communication capability at the precise moment it sees our signal. And that other planet must be looking for a signal from us. And it must not be so far away that by the time our communication arrives and they respond, our planet has been wiped out or our intelligent civilization has disappeared. Considering the vastness of space, it seems unlikely we will happen to send communication to another intelligent life form and get a response back within a time frame that we or our great-great-…-great grandchildren recognize as a response to our initial communication attempt.

Awesome 🤩

1:29 I’m pretty certain that 99.9% of anyone that clicked on this video, or that have an interest in this topic, know where the name “Goldilocks” comes from 🙂
Kidding around aside , wonderful video, as always! Thank you!
Typical American/U.K. response haha.
No, not everyone in the world, any that’s including the English speaking countries, widely circulate this British children’s tale.
Great video 👍
I thought everyone knew where the Goldilocks reference comes from.
So if im in a different planet today. millions of lights years away from earth, right now. And i look through a telescope and see earth, would i see the past of earth? Like dinosaurs roaming ? But in present time its whats happening today?. Thats crazy to me.. crazy.
What if beings on other planets are also searching for other habitable planets to colonize and they come across earth?
Man I am in love with earth.
Exemplary content. Already subscribed, liked and comment.
What if other planets have life but they are not self - consciousness
I'm really enjoying these videos keep digging.
More to come!
I wonder what name is given to our solar system by alien civilizations out there somewhere.
It's almost like someone far greater than ourselves put this together...
Maybe just the way the “dealer” wanted.
2:45 IDK I've had a few more seconds of experience, and this doesn't sound like a bad deal...
Hi, I love watching your videos. This is great content which gives me a lot to learn.. Anyway, can you also make a video/ check the veracity of this news I just found saying that NASA has discovered another nearby Earth-size planet orbiting within the habitable zone of its star 100 light-years away?
Dios te ama 🇨🇴🙏 bendiciones 🙏
All this perfection is created by a "Creator" ... Our God
36k subscribers ain’t bad~ how many weirdos like us are out there? These are great.
If they do find another planet for future humans i don't think that they would be able to evacuate all of planet earth and im sure that some people will more than likely decide to stay here like myself, i try to think that i would rather go down in a blaze of glory with my good ol mother earth but who knows , it would be interesting to have the great opportunity to be able to go and explore a brand new untouched planet
New sub
"New to you" feature brought me here
Welcome aboard 🚀
It is a fallacy to think that only planets are habitable, moons and other satellites are habitable as well. We should look for habitable exo-satellites, not just habitable exoplanets.
In fact, I would argue that for an advanced civilisation, it is easier to build habitable satellites than to terraform a planet. You can build unlimited amounts of satellites and it wouldn’t take as long as to terraform a planet to be habitable.

I have a Ques that does our brain works in 4th dimension ?
I have thought about it but how to prove it
yeah , I agree with you
Therefore space, because we are human.
I'm sure earth expanded at night..
The gravitational pull of my bed in the morning is abnormal.. 😂

Fan form India 🇮🇳😀😀
best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who are the two people to dislike the video?
Shared in my family whatsapp group, now they have kicked me out from that group.
Good
When we get to Mars we will find fossils. Millions of years ago Mars use to look just like Earth and eventually Earth will look like Mars does now.
I have some ideas to make vdo's. How to contact??
Sir you should be in NASA
people can't even figure out turbulence
A dislike? He must be religious
Carbon based life or Silicon based life that doesn't need oxygen to breathe
God's power and mercy on full display.
Not goldilocks one Almighty who made everything perfect for you me and everything
i am still at do I exist?
Anyone has that Ted talk link?
earth : alright guys im gonna get on the right position in the system so you can live nice yeah
human: fuck youuuuuu (continue destroying)
the fact that we're on the goldilock's zone doesn't matter if human kind doesn't sustain life on earth
We are living in simulator !
There are millions of goldilock planets.
We are to far away to see in our time what is on them .. space time is the Alien.
FINE
You look like the ceo in Megan the movie 😭
I wish I could b alive when we meet another life form, or travel to a planet like 🌎, ggz
This shit makes me believe in Chinese Xianxia novels.
If you follow the science you will always arrive at the conclusion that existence of life forms are not chance or an accident but rather design. It will become more obvious as we discover more and more.
EXPANDING UNIVERSE stated in the Qur'an (51:47) 1400+ years ago..
Qur'an (51:47) And the heaven We created with might, and indeed We are (its) expander.
Hubble’s Law.
thousands of years, astronomers wrestled with basic questions concerning the universe. Until the early 1920’s, it was believed that the universe had always been in existence; also, that the size of the universe was fixed and not changing.
However, in 1912, the American astronomer, Vesto Slipher, made a discovery that would soon change astronomers’ beliefs about the universe. Slipher, noticed that the galaxies were moving away from earth at huge velocities. These observations provided the first evidence supporting the expanding-universe theory.
In 1916, Albert Einstein formulated his General Theory of Relativity that indicated that the universe must be either expanding or contracting.
Confirmation of the expanding-universe theory finally came in 1929 in the hands of the well known American astronomer Edwin Hubble.

Hey its like dating. Men with money are in the goldilox zone. And all the other are basically dead inside.
😂😂😂 im dead
God created systematically our consciousness is less than god.
hahahh if human is more curious , your subscriber will also increase
