I'll be 70 soon and cherish the fact I've lived to see so many amazing discoveries and achievements. If I had one wish, it would be the confirmed discovery of another earth-like world with a techno signature. Thanyou for all your videos, they are both informative and thought-provoking.
Me too! I'll also be 70 this year. I sat in Miami with my mom and watched the men land on the moon on my 14th birthday. We just cried and cried at the amazing things we had done. What an amazing place we live with such bright people.
@wizzardofpaws2420 It proves we are all connected in celebrating a common goal. You in Miami, me in my local secondary school in the North West of England (UK)
I'm 41 and I told my son that I hope he gets to see a snapshot of another planet on a different system. I reckon we can do that in his life time (not mine), like send a one-way needle-like probe traveling at 20% the speed of light and take a close-up pic and send back to earth. I don't think I will see it, but hopefully he will, it'll be super exciting to see what another planet looks like.
@FrostW1nd That seems a reasonable expectation to me, and it got me thinking.... Without tempting fate, what, discoveries, and achievements, can I reasonably expect to see in, say, the next 15 years. Humans back on the Moon, maybe even Mars? With the new telescopes coming on line, maybe confirming atmospheres on exoplanets?
There are three voices that I just can’t get enough of. Sagan’s, Attenborough’s and Kipping’s. Thank you so much for all the fantastic content you choose to share with us mere mortals! 🙏🏻🥰
When Carl Sagan phoned me in February1996, I was able to tell him about our discovery of the first planets we found around other stars, 51 Pegasi b, 70 Virginis b, and 47 Ursae majoris b. He was absolutely delighted - a reality he had described during his career. Unfortunately, Carl died 10 months later.
If there is another planet out there like ours I sure hope they have a professor David Kipping teaching them about the universe! You are definitely one hell of a narrator!
Wow, I am always amazed by how far our knowledge of exo-planets has come. I remember growing up in the seventies and all the science fiction I read (some of which was much older) held it as an artifact of faith that the only way to detect exo-planets was to physically reach other stars.
The American number system has essentially usurped the European one. He means one thousand million when he says billion. If only one exoplanet in 100,000 is a close Earth analogue, then there would be a few million such planets scattered across the habitable zone of the galaxy. There may even be young Earth like planets where life is evolving more rapidly.
You know, Dr. Sagan never actually used that exact phrase until he parodied himself in TV appearances in his later years. He was a real sport who could laugh at himself and take a bit of ribbing.
Most times, I'm intensely following along and absorbing as much as I can. Other times, this brain is full of "attractive humannnn, soothing voice! beautiful mind... wow" Either way, I love all your videos equally. Thank you for keeping us in the loop on all these incredible discoveries about our stunning universe.
It's not so much what you share that I like, but how you share it. I learn a lot about reasoning and thought processes by watching you and your videos that have certainly helped me advance in my life, even though my work is unrelated. You do a great job and make me feel less alone in my reasoning structure and in life in general. Thank you! -Dave
Sir. David Kipping, has at least 170 published research papers out. From my understanding. Anything he may publish in the near future, wouldn't be his first.
If only I could be a benevolent ruler, charmed by your eloquent intellect, offering patronage and protection to your works and kin in exchange for listening to you talk about it over the occasional glass of wine.
The more strange is that while life can be possible in exoplanets, the development of technology in most (possible all) is not possible. The Copernicus principle has become the Copernicus Paradox!
I suspect civilisations are fleeting, because they unwittingly overshoot the planet's capacity to sustain them, as ours is doing, then undergo a devastating collapse, as we're on the cusp of here on Earth, whether that cusp spans a few years or a few decades
Time is the biggest factor here, if there would be a planet outside with intelligent life on it it must be available in our now. Maybe there have been some intellectual species outside, but maybe millions of years before or maybe after us. The human area is only 10.000 years old. And we discover space for maybe 100 years.
@@WUZAKINGyep exactly, and to make matters even more difficult, everything we see and every signal we send is limited by the speed of light. So take SETI, for example… we’ve been sending signals out into space, hoping for someone to answer us, for a little over 60 years. That means they’ve only traveled 60 years, which means they’ve only reached a few of the local stars closest to us. Conceivably, we could’ve already been heard, and an answer is on the way, also on the speed of light, but if it was in a star 60 light years away, and we sent the signal 61 years ago, then we’ll have to wait 59 more years to know that anyone heard it. And then, considering that the Milky Way is roughly 100,000 light years across… actually detecting anybody else seems more and more daunting, but it doesn’t make it seem less and less likely that nothing is out there, quite the contrary. It makes it seem more likely than it does if you naïvely assume that 60 years of looking into space with radio telescopes means that we have any sort of bead on whether or not there’s anybody out there right now. I mean, even disregarding our signals being answered, what we’re looking at is anywhere from four to billions of light years away, or let’s stick to our galaxy, then anywhere from four to about 100,000 ly away. That means we’re looking at it that many years in the past. Our own civilization has only been around for about 10,000 years, and we’ve only had the capability of sending signals into space, and thus, being detectable by others looking with radio telescopes or probably any other measure that isn’t wildly beyond our technology , for a measly 100 years. There could be a species on some planet 50,000 light years away in our galaxy, that’s on the cusp of evolving into a civilization like ours with the technology necessary to be detectable, or hell, they could’ve evolved that 40,000 years ago, but we still wouldn’t be receiving the light from that to be able to see it. All this information does to the fermi paradox is make it less and less reasonable to assume that there are any conclusions that we can actually draw
Every now and then, I'm struck with the thought that it's really amazing that we can benefit from your shared knowledge, because so many factors have to come together for that to be possible. Not the least of these factors is your effort and good will to invest your own precious time to share this knowledge with everyone. It's truly a privilege. Than you. Scientists rock! Cheers, from Portugal.
Very cool research! Thanks for explaining it in a way that it's easy to digest. Your passion for exoplanets really shines through when talking about the science, and it kept me hooked for entire 21 minutes. Yesterday i re-watched the 1997 film Contact and watching this video had me wonder: These exoplanets with eart-like eccentricity, how far away from earth are they? Would the first public broadcast radio waves from Earth have reached these by now or are they much further away? I havent read the paper yet, but i guess it is explained therein. Thanks for all the exciting and thought-provoking videos as always Dr. Kipping and the whole Cool Worlds team!
Good old Carl Sagan, loved his show as a child. I grew up with a backyard astronomer father who was also a big scifi fan. It would be a hell of s thing tho to find out we aint the only ones.
The more we learn, seemingly the more variables there are to plug into the Drake equation. I hadn't considered orbital eccentricity. But there you go: Add in another factor. Then you combine with all the other variables that are apparently needed for a species to evolve and eventually develop technology. Large moon/active plate tectonics/large deposits of fossil fuels (that's a biggie)/good balance of land and water/protective magnetic field etc etc. Just soooo many requirements. It wouldn't surprise me if technological societies are vanishingly rare.
The other major issue is you’re looking back in time, we are seeing what existed an inconceivable amount of time ago… and by the time we ever arrived at such a far away place perhaps it wouldn’t even exist, or at the very least have the same conditions.
Thanks for the very interesting video. I have preference for the “Rare Earth” hypothesis as a solution to the Fermi’s Paradox. Note then that a very rare large Moon for a terrestrial sized planet provides both reduced eccentricity variations and a magnetosphere. Ironically, your search for exomoons could provide a solution to the Fermi Paradox! In an upcoming blog post I’ll discuss that we’ll soon have the capability for searching for exomoons around terrestrial planets as well as magnetospheres.
Why Am I Sooooo Fascinated By Something - I - Do - N O T - Understand ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Because I Trust Professor David Kipping ' s Credentials . I ' m Fascinated By What Fascinates Him . His Enthusiasm Is - C O N T A G I O U S .
We’ll said friend ,I feel thee exact way,I’m trying I’m listening but still don’t understand but for some reason I must listen to this man 😂😎🏴🏴🏴
So, we've gone from 94 possibilities down to 16. Would ascertaining which of these planets is tidally locked / not locked be the next most influential factor to test for? Your team might need more telescope time. Great video!
Congrats on this super important paper being published Professor K! This is further evidence, as you say, that we perhaps are not so unique. How much more evidence would we need to get to put to bed the WAP hypothesis? Getting spectra of the atmospheres of earth mass planets in the habitable zone, with near-circular orbits (and ideally, 1 large satellite)? I hope I live to see the generation after the next generation of telescopes come out - and I hope we continue to fund the sciences!
WAP isn’t a hypothesis, rather an argument. The hypothesis of Rare Earth is perhaps what you mean here and to test that we’ll ultimately have to detect life!
I'll be 70 soon and cherish the fact I've lived to see so many amazing discoveries and achievements. If I had one wish, it would be the confirmed discovery of another earth-like world with a techno signature.

Always nice when the ingenuity that enables a discovery is as fascinating as the discovery itself
‘Billions and billions’
'billion' means 1 000 000 000 or 1 000 000 000 000? :-]
1,000,000,000 is a billion.
