Astronomers Detect a Possible Signature of Life on a Distant Planet

Blows my mind that anyone would take these shitty science fiction writers posing as astronomers seriously. Nothing they ever claim is even remotely interesting let alone possibly coming close to proving. Fucking star wars in its woke form is more believable...
My understanding of science is that it's an attempt to explain what we observe. It seems like these days, astrophysics speculate on black holes and all sorts of things that we do not observe. It's like what you wrote - science fiction.
 
I believe that's what Einstein said, but I still question how any of us could possibly know.
Well, that's how science works. You start with a hypothesis, some develop theorems and proofs then sit back and wait for someone smarter to come shoot them down. If I were Einstein I wouldn't be changing my shorts just yet. Nobody is travelling to the edge of the universe to find out, that's fer sure
 
Congrats on being both lazy and retard, while being proud of it



Didn’t they find a planet with what looks like signatures of city lights on in last year?
Proxima Centauri b 4.2 light years away
No they didn’t unfortunately


"The Trump administration is reportedly planning to cut NASA’s science budget in half, eliminating future space telescope and other astrobiology projects. If that happens, Dr. Krissansen-Totton said, “the search for life elsewhere would basically stop.”

The entire idea of NASA was just a pissing match with the Soviet Union. The fact that the US government is funding them nearly 60 years after astronauts walked on the moon is ridiculous. Fuck space. We can't even take care of our shit here .
While I agree that NASA, like almost all government research, can become bloated and inefficient but that doesn’t mean we should just scrap it altogether. It’s like cutting off your leg for a sprained ankle.

Space research and exploration helps us invent things that are very useful here on earth. The more advanced it gets the more it will help us.

Plus, we should've been investing at looking at our oceans more than space really, atleast after 1947 imho. 🤔
What do you mean specifically ? What about the ocean?


Nikole Lewis from the article:
View attachment 881160


I’d give her a view of my telescope, ngl
Yea she’s adorable and that fact she’s a scientist just kicks up the sexiness to 11 for me.


Absolutely! and trust the New York Times to find a way to try and shit on Trump any way they can .. fuckin' morons. Meanwhile they hate everything Elon, while Elon will literally fund his own rocket to Mars one day! - (about two thirds the way down EVERY article that paper writes you'll find the Trump hate - EVERY article) wouldn't be surprised if the entire thing was written just to squeeze that Trump comment into it.
It’s not “shitting on” Trump it’s reporting a fact. Of course saying the negative truth about Trump is “shitting on” because he is your cult leader.

I agree that you have to be careful with science being reported by news organizations. It can be very misleading sometimes but to say nothing they ever say comes true or is proven is false. This reporting seems to be good and they even say in the article that it’s not proven as a fact yet so it’s something to keep an eye on.

I know not to believe the cover up story in re: Roswell, Project Mogul, etc., & while I agree space exploration & those endeavors is still worthy for all Earthlings, so is Ocean Exploration but, budgets haven't reflected this very equally over the past almost 100 years. Had more financial resources been allocated with exploration & understanding of Earth's Oceans it would've have benefitted humankind better IMO.
 
The planet is far away, not so far that we could never get to it, except in many thousands of years.

If extraterrestrials were to travel to earth, from a civilization many, many light years away, they would do so by bending (or "warping") the space-time continuum...thus drastically reducing the distance, and making the time factor very negligible for traveling immense distances.

Bending the space-time continuum to travel immense distances in a very negligible amount of time is mathematically possible within the framework of Einstein's Theory Of General Relativity. So traversing space in such a manner is within the laws of physics.

Theoretical physicists use the term "Warp Drive" for the technological means that would be necessary to bend the space-time continuum and traverse space in such a manner.

I'll also add here, I've always been quite impressed with Gene Roddenberry, the guy who created the 1960's TV series "Star Trek."
Not only did he do a lot of research on his own, but he also sought out and consulted with physicists.

Thus, Rooddenberry was well aware of the theoretical "Warp Drive" that would be used to bend the space-time continuum and travel immense distances in a negligible amount of time.
You'll often hear Captain Kirk say something such as..."Warp Factor Two Mr. Sulu."

Yes I’ve looked that stuff up, FTL travel and so far it’s all theoretical. We don’t know that wormholes exist,They are hypothetical. Also as far as we know matter, meaning a spaceship and aliens, can’t move at faster than light.

I wish we would could build a machine that makes wormholes but first we have to show they exist.

Also there is something physics, I can’t remember the name. But the people traveling close to the speed of light the trip will be fast for them but many thousands of years would have passed on earth. Relativity I think it’s called.

So there is major problems with FTL travel apparently.

Yea but going deep into the oceans is almost as hard as going to space no? To mine resources and stuff from the ocean floor I’m assuming are the benefits you have in mind?

Subspace rifts in the time-space fabric are a theoretical concern, though. Meaning folds in space-time to traverse distances comes with a cost, at the peril of destroying our own time line.

There's definite obstacles just like space travel sure but, it's been left more to private companies as far as exploration (usually semi-financed by big oil companies because they can afford it yes but, their scientists make discoveries of all kinds too...) since much happens in what's considered international waterways maybe it has to be done that way versus a government controlled fleet doing it? But studies of aquatic species, ecology, topography, etc. Studies of the planet Earth underwater, is of more interest in a way and value, to humankind, because water quality is important too, especially human impact on water, etc., moreso because humankind is more dependent upon water & it's inhabitants (since humans eat fish & other water born creatures and must have water) for survival.
Space travel is now mostly important to military and governments for satellites and control of them & the intel that can be aquired using them, as well as how they can be outfitted with weapons. Soon there'll be a large US aircraft carrier sized ship our US Space Force will operate too. 🤷‍♀️
