Can NASA’s most powerful telescope detect key ingredients for life as we know it?
There are three places in our solar system, beyond Earth, that are good candidates to look for life: Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, Enceladus, and Titan, two of Saturn’s moons.

It would be wonderful to have an episode with subject matter experts expanding on this topic. Plants cannot live at ocean depths/under ice or anywhere else that they can't photosynthesize... Hydrothermal vents instead support ecosystems with the primary productivity of chemosynthetic microbes. The possibilities of such vent ecosystems existing anywhere beyond Earth is indeed thrilling however, and I myself would watch many more videos on similar topics if astrobiologists/biologists were included!

Bought freakin time. We kinda have a moon in our own solar system that's shooting out water. It has an ocean that contains much more water than what we have here. I mean, I don't get looking for life outside the solar system with Enceladus just chilling there. It's kind of infuriating. Sure it will take years for any mission to get a probe there but this should have started a long time ago.

LIFE: The coherency of energy in a certain format. DEATH: The de-coherency of energy when life no longer exists. (And in a certain context, the entire universe is alive.)

Who and/or What Am I? Do 'I' even exist? (copy and paste from my files): Consider the following: a. I am a human as defined by humans. b. I am an energy based quarkelectronian as modern science claims that all matter is made up of quarks, electrons and interacting energy and I am made up of matter and interacting energy. c. I am a being of 'light', 'if' my current theory of everything is correct whereby the 'gem' photon is the energy unit of this universe that makes up everything in this universe, including space, time and numbers. (Currently dependent upon the results of my gravity test). d. "I" do not even actually exist but eternally existent space time exists as me, currently in the forms as above. * I exist and yet "I" simultaneously do not exist, dependent upon perspective. But yet, do "I" not truly exist in absolute truth reality as only eternally existent space time exists as all things in absolute truth reality? * "I" can mentally change between perspectives thereby experiencing existence from those various perspectives. "My" mind continues to expand, but is it truly 'my' mind that is expanding or is it eternally existent space time's mind that is expanding? In absolute truth reality, it would seem to be the later. * 'To Be or Not To Be'. I am both, 'I Am and I Am Not.' But I Am Not it appears more than I Am. * Consider also: If asked the general question, 'What do you know?'. My current answer would be, 'Not much compared to all that can be known.' (I Am Not, More than I Am). It's humbling. * Is it truly any wonder that the flow of energy in the universe affects species? We are the universe experiencing itself.

ETERNAL CONSCIOUS EXISTENCE ACHIEVED? (copy and paste from my files): Consider the following as well, even utilizing modern science: a. Modern science claims that energy cannot be created nor destroyed (a foundational principal of physics). Hence, energy is either eternally existent, or modern science is wrong. b. Modern science claims that we have new cells that come into existence inside of our body on a daily basis. This appears to be really true. So, since I have a body with energy and cells in it: * A part of me is eternally existent and a part of me is being born anew on a daily basis. * My current body extends from eternity past until now. * Rising to a higher level of thought, the 'now' that I exist in is 'eternal'. * I am currently existing in the 'eternal now'. * I am currently an actual eternally existent conscious entity existing in the eternal now. At least once in my life I reached being an actual eternally existent conscious entity existing in the eternal now. It's just that the current analysis indicates that it will not always be that way. But then again, as I don't know what I don't know, and even what I believe I know to be really true maybe isn't, as well as my mind making up stuff to fill in the gaps of it's perceived existence, along with other items too, I will be the first to admit that I could be wrong. Maybe once attained, I actually have an actual eternal conscious existence in some form throughout all of future eternity. Can I really ever prove to myself that I don't? And also: "IF" my TOE idea is correct, then: * I am currently an actual eternally existent conscious being of light ('gem' photons) existing in an environment entirely made of light ('gem' photons), existing in the eternal now. But then also: "IF" my definitions of Space Time and the TOE idea are correct, then: * Do "I" and all things even actually exist in the first place, OR does ONLY the 'gem' photons exist as all things? How could "I" ever die if "I" never actually existed in the first place but the eternally existent 'gem' photons were existing as "me"? And if the 'gem' photons decided to exist as "me" throughout all of future eternity, whom am "I" to argue with them since "I" don't even actually exist at all in the first place? If the 'gem' photons decided to exist as "me" throughout all of future eternity, they might only have to will it to be so. And note, this would apply to you too. * Added note: One just has to find out how to stay 'life coherent' throughout literally all of future eternity, otherwise, one would eventually de-cohere back from whence one came. One would die and go extinct for all the rest of future eternity. Such it appears is 'life' until life itself is no more. * Alternative: Find a way to keep the energy of our being in a coherent format so as to stay alive in some form to exist throughout all of future eternity, (future eternity being a really, really long time, with literally no end). Plus, one would have to live through many, many, many mass extinction events of all kinds. And then also, one would have an ever growing list of long lost loved ones who either could not, or chose not to, stay coherent themselves throughout all of future eternity. So that life itself has continued meaning and purpose to throughout all of future eternity. Otherwise, if no entity exists one day, then all of life itself would all be ultimately meaningless in the grandest scheme of things as no entity would be left to care about anything or anyone literally ever again throughout all the rest of future eternity. It would not even ultimately matter that any of us ever existed in the first place much less how we existed while we existed. Either at least one species survives throughout all of future eternity (if it's even actually possible to literally do), OR none do.

Nobody chooses what they believe; not one person ever. All of your beliefs, your opinions, your certainties are all 100% involuntary. Every person on the planet believes they posses the truth, or they are uncertain (and they don't choose that uncertainty either). All those that are certain they know everything cannot all be right, because not all of their opinions and certainties can all be mapped onto reality; but they do not know that. Instead, the insist out loud they are right and that others, with different opinions are all wrong. They spend their time looking for all the evidence they can use that will prove them right, never once wondering if they should be uncertain.

They didn't choose their beliefs anymore than you chose yours. This is really important to consider when dealing with faith-based religious people such as devout Christians and Muslims. We can and should engage with them with compassion for their situation for which they did not choose. Instead, consider yourself extremely fortunate if you were raised in a home that taught you to value evidence to guide belief. If you outgrew your religious compulsions and your family didn't give you an honor killing, or you were not jailed for blasphemy or atheism; consider yourself very very lucky. I'm not saying to pity religious believers, but urging to curb the appetite to make fun of the religiously devout. There is no free will for us (the whole concept of free will is an illusion), and they don't have it either. We just have to get better at liberating people from the yoke of religion.

God does not actually exist except for as a concept alone. a. Modern science claims energy cannot be created nor destroyed, hence energy is eternally existent. b. An absolute somethingness cannot come from an absolute nothingness, so an absolute somethingness always existed, most probably being energy itself. c. Universe ALWAYS existed in some form and NEVER had a beginning, No Creator Needed. 'a' is true, is it not? 'b' is true, is it not? If 'a' and 'b' are true, then no creator is needed in 'c'. * Some people for some reason (social conditioning/brainwashing/wishful thinking) believe in future eternity without end but do not accept eternity past with no beginning.
