Source?

>>58045384
What do you mean source? All of the Earth-like planets found exist in galaxies that we'll never be able to reach.

The real question is, if they can supposedly find all these planets in galaxies that appear as white dots to satellites, why can't they properly map our own solar system?

Oh yeah I saw this this morning.
Oh boy.

>>58045454
You are so stupid.

So... source? too lazy to google.

>>58045454
I sure hope you're trolling. If you are, you got me with a good second fold.
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and spend some time explaining.

There are millions of stars in our galaxy, each with any number of planets. Plenty of 'earth like' planets exist in out galaxy.

there are a lot of theories on faster than light travel, tunnelling and bending space-time and the like are all very plausible solutions to the ever growing distance.

I'd rather stay on earth.

I know this planet.

>>58045693
Even if science is developing at a really nice pace, we'll have to wait AT LEAST a thousand years until space-time bending is possible.

>>58045715
Someone post the deep sea creatures to this poor souls.

Yeah, I saw this.

The planet had a horrible name. They better rename it.

>>58045852
>and has a temperature of about 22C
Holy shit, BBC is stupid.
The planet WOULD have a temperature of about 22C, IF it's confirmed that it have an atmosphere.

>New earth-like planet discovered by NASU

>22m years away
>even looking for planets at all instead of investing the money in other things

>>58046088
>22m

Does that mean it's in the past or the future?

>>58046088
>Investing money in other things
Like what? We need a new planet.
ASAP.
Terraforming ain't happening.

>>58046088
>22m years away
>22 meters years aways

wait what?

This planet is only in the star habitable zone where water COULD be liquid. this planet could be fried like Venus or freezing like Neptune for all we know. remember a few Miles in either direction from it's sun can make the difference between habitable or hostel.

>>58046081
MOLLUSK SEX FOR EVERYONE!
>inb4 that new planet's TYPE come and destroy us.

>>58045939
>bend space-time
>bend it so you invent space-time bending 1000 years earlier

Why is there only like 2 planets in the universe with life on them?
What the hell are all the other useless planets made for?

>>58046177
When people talk about bending space-time, it isn't REALLY about time-traveling, but the act of going from one place to another without taking as long as it would if they just traveled directly.
Example:
There's point A and point B
The minimum distance between them is a direct line
If I bend space, I can go from point A to point B in a distance even lower than the direct line.

>>58046212
There needs to be an exact, and I meant EXACT ratio of atmospheric density to distance from their star, among a billion other criteria, for there to be a chance at life.

>>58046264
That's nice, but we still don't know if our knowledge of life is the rule for everywhere on the universe. Maybe there's non-organic life forms out there, with their own sets of living rules.

>>58046264
Still doesn't explain why God created the other planets where life can't be.

>>58045939
Never underestimate science. One discovery could lead things we've never even dreamed of.

>>58046339
Ohboyherewego

>>58046264

No, there isn't. You're talking out of your ass. There is NO scientific way of knowing that since the only model of habitable planet that we know of is our own. All of our models for life are based on conjecture derived from the only exemple we have, and this isn't enough to say for certain those are the only parameters for life.

Criterias for life are without a doubt very narrow, but it doesn't exclude that life, under whatever form, couldn't pop up at places we had no idea they could.

>>58046339
I knew you were going for that from your first post. I give you a 2/10 because someone is probably gonna reply seriously to you.

>>58046339
Everything has a purpose, man.

You can't understand everything he does

>>58046088
In all honesty this. At least find a decent replacement for O-rings before investing billions on a spacecraft that may blow up on launch due to still relying on 1960's technology.

That same money could be put towards scientific advances in technology. Microwaves, plastic, it's been awhile since we have benefited from any new finds.

>>58046212
It's only the planets we're aware of. You know about the Kepler telescope? It observes a tiny piece of sky, yet it found several times more exoplanets than all previous observations.

>my face when normalfags in my C++ class were talking about this today

Earth:

>perihelion 147,098,290 km
It's more than 'a few miles'

>>58046555
And before the shitstorm hits, I chose the pic because of the circumstances of the movie. That's how I feel, fuck post numbers.

>>58046446
I'm not ruling out the possibility of other forms of life, because that would be retarded. But this is about discovering life. Wouldn't we be more likely to discover it if we were looking for something specific, like amino acids? In which case we would be looking for a planet under similar conditions as ours?

Thats the planet where all your waifus exist
what do now?

>>58046635
Fund fund fund fund fund.

>>58046616
From the Earth history I can guess that liquid water, sunlight and some common elements like carbon and hydrogenium should be enough to provide a possibility of life.

>>58046616
There's an interesting thing some scientist said someday. They asked to him how would he try to discover if there was life on a planet. He said:
>I’d look for an entropy reduction, since this must be a general characteristic of life

When I think about it, maybe life itself is a "mechanism" of the Universe of reducing entropy. Just think about it.

>>58046687
>this pic
>this filename

Where is the ban for you?

>>58046765
So the QBs started life on the Universe? Neato.

>>58046555
Can't really blame her. For as long as NASA has been around, and for all the trillions of dollars that have been dumped on them, most people think they are far more advanced than they actually are.

>>58046765
Life is not reducing anything. We all live just because of the low-enthropy enegry flow from the sun. All the life on the earth is just complicated yet small step on the path where sunshine energy is re-radiated as Earth's heat.

>>58046765
Living things increase entropy.
Every action increases entropy.

And that's where I leave it. I hate physics talk.

>>58046954
You can't blame her? The Space Shuttle's never gone much further than orbit and she thinks we sent a manned craft outside of the solar system? It would've been understandable if she said Hubble or something, but the shuttle is a bit much.

>>58046695
Did you mean Hydrogen or Hydronium? I looked up what you typed and it doesn't seem to be stable outside of space.

>>58046831
Nowhere.
Since there's no law against what I'm doing.

>>58047198
That is what newfags believes.

>>58047349
No, really, he's right. Stop being so analpained.

>>58047156
Hydrogen, of course. Thanks for fix.

>>58047904
Sure thing. For life as we know it you'd usually also want something like Oxygen or... Sulfur, was it? to reduce things at the end of the energy cycle.

I'm curious as to whether or not there are any situations where Silicon based life might work; maybe some sort of intestine-like system to get rid of SiO2 would work...
