Yeah I bet no potential life there has any sort of light sensory organs, but that opens up a whole slew of possibilities of what other senses they could have.

Earths oceans are also mostly cast in darkness. Beyond 1000 meters, or 3,280 feet, in depth, in the aphotic zone (photic is a derivitive of photon, the particle/wave function of light, sunlight is wholly absent and an eternal midnight reigns. Sorry felt like Googling stuff, I'm sure it's all out of my head tomorrow.

and cold as midnight butcheeks.

Not really. If Europa does have a ocean, it is everything but cold. If it WAS too cold, then there would be no ocean in the first place. The theory that says there might be a ocean under the ice crust says that Jupiter tidal wave effect on Europa makes the core release heat, therefore, making it right the temperature to have liquid water, and by that, maybe life.

The temperature needed for ice to become liquid has many variables, it can be liquid and still much colder than anything on earth.

YOOOOOOO. When you're so hyped for beyond light you start searching up Europa.

US wouldn't have trillions without war mongering...

Ben Flood that’s not true. In fact, the USA has benefitted from staying out of the world wars for as long as they could. That really made European economies depend on them. Hence why the 2008 crisis spread to Europe so fast. The warmongering you speak of is actually crippling the US economy. Sure, arms deals are nice and all, but the hefty military spending really holds them back.

Same here. Except Space Time has never made a bad video imo.

I showed a space time video to my science club once and everyone hated it so different strokes for different folks I guess

what did they hate about it?

postmachine A lot of the students didn't really like his voice (I didn't either at first but I got used to it), and then one of the teachers looked really angry about the video because apparently Matt poorly explained Fermi Paradox and some other stuff (it was the self-replicating robots video). That was also not a great video to show though because it was a lot of speculation.

i see. so their grievances are either a matter of personal taste or they have a problem with the format of an youtube vid (which are short so they can entertain easier)

"This system really gives you freedom to go anywhere you want in the solar system," said Musk. "I wouldn't recommend this for interstellar journeys, but this system--provided we have filling stations along the way--means full access to the entire greater solar system." In particular, he's eyeing a mission to Europa

Nate Allen although the crew size would have to be reduced for those longer duration missions and I wonder how they would combat muscle atrophy and bone decay with so much time in zero G. And spending time on Europa's surface would be remarkably hazardous because it orbits within one of Jupiter's magnetically triggered radiation belts.

lol!!

XD

haha ocean moon go BONK

If there multicellular creatures there with the ability to move it shouldn't be implausible to assume that they have similar looking body structures to the ones on earth. Or maybe not who knows

maxwell simon I think there is a good chance for life on Europa to take place... Given the age of our solar system, life is more abundant on Europa as multicellular life.

Abiogenesis is also another hypothesis and would probably be necessary for life to develop in the first place. That is probably what would happen on Europa as panspermia wouldn’t be possible with the high surface radiation and bitter cold temperatures.

Is very interesting what you're saying but from what I've seen, a planet in order to harbor life requires to have a large group of characteristics , temperature, pressure, a stable atmosphere and one of the most important, energy. Energy can come up in different ways, the sun, the core of the planet, gravity attraction from large moons, etc. Energy is essencial as a first step for everything else to be formed, in the right conditions of course; liquid water is a consequence of said energy and another very big step for a planet to harbor life, and even complex life like small animals and not just bacteria and microorganisms. So not really are we special in any way xd

There should be a reason for chemicals to become life. It doesn't make any sense at all that bunch of chemicals start bonding and then in three billion years we have extremely intillegent set of chemicals. No one really knows still about how life actually forms. Biology is complex chemicals and there is no reason for chemicals to be that complex. And why would chemicals form life and for what reason, no one knows

@@noelpathiyil3815 I mean, we do have plausible theories that are likely true even if there's no physical way to completely confirm them. Do you not know of them?

@@roelin360 Why not just share them, rather than wondering aloud what others do and do not know?

@@josephiscancelled2732 I'm not wondering, I'm asking.

This is actually quite good; according to a report on the topic prepared for the DoE back in 1977, a layer of water 7 centimeters thick reduces the ionizing radiation of keV level gamma rays by half. (Depending of course on energy; a 511 keV γ-ray will attenuate by roughly 90% through 20cm of water, but MeV level rays require ore like several feet.) Given that order of magnitude even the ice crust itself should provide substantial protection, simply due to its sheer thickness.

Yeah, I want to see a video about radiation too! By the way, this isn't about life, but the "Will Mars or Venus Kill You First" video talked about radiation for humans.

i completely agree i have been very interested in europa after watching the sci fi movie the europa report but nobody talks about the massive radiation factor the way the movie did and that would have a huge impact on the type of life that could live there

You are correct of course which is one reason any satellites we send there has to be heavily shielded. Under the ice on Europa? The ice does give no small protection and we also have to factor in the ( estimated ) two metres or so of micrometeorites on top of that. Once outside the ice then any living organism is going to be fried and fried quickly as in reduced to elemental components. Radiation aside the pressure drop from enough pressure to eject a fluid kilometers high to negative pressure.....good luck on that. That will make the bends look like mild vertigo.

are you kidding ? 100 km depth of water on europa, even with 1 km of water above you can pretty much shield every sorts of radiation you can throw at it

Yes

im watching in 2021 ;)

Also... I'm convinced there's life on uropa. I would be very surprised if there isn't life there. I don't expect much more than amebas at best, but it would still change the world to confirm life on other worlds!

Yes, this REALLY needs to be said. one issue I have is with them saying 'every time you observe something you force it to take a state' even though most of these observation had nothing to do with us observing, rather it has to do with precise machines taking observations, not with us literally looking at them. My dad is even religious, because he heard 'everytime you look at something the particles are forced to exist!' which is simply a misinterpretation of what really happens

A vbad anon acount I don't blame him honestly. I am now a fervent skeptical atheist, but at one time I, in a way, believed much the same thing. When I was younger, I used to believe that our conscious awareness of reality somehow (tho by means very unspecific and unknown) effected the fabric of existence itself. I consider my younger self to be an intelligent guy [obvious bias 😬] and it took quite a bit of serious research to convince myself that I was an idiot for thinking it. The jargon and the material itself in quantum mechanics and advanced physics are incredibly abstruse. Incorporating linguistic shortcuts that personify themselves only exacerbates the problem

+A vbad anon acount Maybe you should tell your dad, that the Kopenhagen interpreation is just an interpretation made up by a guy called Bohr, and that many more equally valid interpreatations are out there. THEN introduce him, to the currently most preferred among physicists (they made a poll in Phys. acta iirc some time ago), Everett's many worlds interpretation. Please don't forget to report the results back.

Like Scientists say anyone claiming to understand Quantum Mechanics really hasn't studied Quantum Mechanics !

If the U.S. government wants to "waste", in their words, trillions of dollars, then sure, they could do that. I think you'll find that unless we can drop our egotistical notion that we have to have a form of Currency, we will never adequately explore our own Solar System.

Idiocracy

+6Twisted That's what omnivors, carnivors and even herbivors do to survive (= keep staying temporarily alive).

Frank Schneider We're not doing it for survival, we're causing a mass extinction.

6Twisted So what ? Man is absolutely incapable of eliminating all life from this planet, even with the 20k remaining nuclear war heads, this won't work. He'll not even be able to replicate the size of the perm extinction event and species are continuously eliminated by evolution, we just accelerate this process a little bit. Further is biodiversity nothing "good" or "bad" per se. BTW, biodiversity has never been as high, as it currently is (in the holocene) The only downside these activities might have, is that this will make the environment and therefore survival of the species homo sapiens a lot more problematic. So ?

Frank Schneider Extinction rates are 1000x higher than the base rate. That's not a little bit.

6Twisted That's a matter of evaluation, but I agree, that the current extinction rate, which is massively accelerated by humans, is possibly significantly higher than it has ever been in life's history on earth. But again, that itself is not a real issues. Biodiversity is nothing that needs to be protected. A decreasing biodiversity only becomes a problem, when thinking about it from the point of survival of the human species. From the point of biology: that's just a temporal decrease that will automatically self-correct over time. Life has seen far worse (think about the initial O2-catastrophy killing nearly all, except a few lifeforms on Earth).

No not necessarily. A probe could carry bacteria but it would die in space or on the planet because of the temperatures

If we seeded Europa it wouldn’t matter. Whatever hitched a ride would be long dead by the time it got there

Dude, did you see the new trailer?

Drilling through that ice? I don't see that happening anytime soon. It's suspected the ice is 15-25 km deep. The farthest we've ever drilled here on earth is 12 km. I think if anything they have some very advanced gadgets to try look through the ice or in the surrounding area for any signs of life. To get through that ice we'd probably have to set up a small colony or similar? Maybe there is an area with a much thinner ice layer. We'll see when time comes. I'm quite excited about these ice moons.

Basically it causes the to be bombarded with ionizing radiation, in the same way auroras arise on Earth. This 'knocks out' atoms from the salt crystal structure, largely chlorine. The remaining crystal then has an imbalance, being overly metallic causing it to absorb light and appear darker.

If nasa drills into the ice and if there is life, wouldnt the exposed space kill the life?

Dynaraxsis Death No; the drill melts its way down, letting the ice refreeze above it, keeping it sealed in. Otherwise when it broke through a plume of water would shoot out into space and carry the probe off. The ice also breaks naturally, i refreezes when it contacts space, so the life should be fine, on the whole.

A year on, so probably no point replying really, but it's an interesting idea. I'm not tech savy enough to really have much idea, but venus would seem too hot to be capable of doing anything with water other than loosing it. IF however there was life forms in the Europa water near the volcanoes that could survive hot sulfuric conditions (which seems likely for any life that might be there) & eat carbon dioxide, it would seem like (at least for sci fi) transferring them & some water in some way to venus (maybe the 50km floating area) may be able to have them begin binding up that CO2 into solid carbon (their dead bodies) & in doing so they would drop the atmospheric pressure & CO2 levels & so cool the planet, allowing more water to be transferred to the air/closer & closer to the surface & eventually onto the surface itself

They'll just twist it to fit their views. They're creative like that. (see what I did there)

Hahahahahahaha awesome!

Form a conspiracy, found the Men in Black, develop an evil agenda, start experimenting on us... that kind of stuff. Or so the X-files tell me.

Same as going to the moon first. Imagine what you can our space program answered this question. It excites the people and captures imagination of many voters. A lot technology is created for these missions.

Pretty much what Squirrel said. Congress is likely putting extra money behind this because the quest is big enough to bring with it bragging rights. Just like when we went to our own moon.

I can guarantee you this much. If and when NASA/good ole U.S. government does find "intelligent life" in our Milky Way, they will not tell the "slaves" that are the general public much if anything about it.

depends, if its from the ocean floor you will have enough to fill a swimming pool when it arrives on earth!

its salt water so 0, but pay 100 for food from there

1 million pounds if i had it

That would be awesome indeed!

I couldn't agree with you more (and for - mostly, anyways - the same reasons) - but still, can you imagine IF we find life (of ANY kind) there AND it bears the fingerprints of a second, separate (abio)genesis from that found here on Earth? It'll probably shut those pesky Creationists up though - at least.

don't need O2

+Thutil Likelihood is next to (but not exactly) 100% that you won't find any life.

+Steve S Every single multicellular organism on Earth uses oxygen for respiration, even the ones that rely on photosynthesis. Sure, you might not need oxygen, but you need something that does roughly the same thing. If you know of an alternative, please explain. +Frank Schneider Really? I think this video makes a good case for it being much more likely than that. Why do you say that? Also, please show me the math you used to determine the probability.

Thutil Well your first statement is of course plain wrong: anerobic bacteria do not use O2. They are killed by it and thereby don't use respiration, but the less efficient process of fermentation for energy generation and other substances as electron akzeptors instead of O2 Don't forget that O2 is a highly aggressive gas and lifeforms are thermodynamically only metastable, O2 is therefore highly cytotoxic, even for eukaryotic cells.. Second: the guys here do know more about cosmology and astronomy than I do, but when it comes to life on the molecular level that's my turf and not theirs. You want a figure ? OK, I'll give you one. Earth is made up of roughly 10^50 atoms. Let's assume the average molecule is made up of 10 atoms, so we have roughly 10^49 molecules on Earth. The time since the Hadean and the big splash is roughly 4.5b years. That's 1.4*10^17 sec. Let's now assume that every molecule on average has 10 options per second to enter into a chemical reaction. So taking all of this together we have had around 1.4*10^67 potential reaction opportunities on Earth (a planet possible suited for life as good as can be) since its creation and exactly 1 of these reactions lead to abiogenesis, This makes the chance 1 in 1.4*10^67. This is quite rare and means, that the requirements for such an reaction to occur must be very very specific. So let's say i made a tiny error here and there and underestimated the chances 1 billion times, so this makes it 1 : 1.4*10^58. Oh that's still, pretty slim, is it ? We can go on and say again, let's increase the chance by a billion ... but again the result is very small You see were this is going. Obviously I don't give too much on this very rough (and incomplete) calculation, but you insisted on a figure so you got one. Nonetheless once in 4.5 b years on an planet that is nearly perfect for life is an extremely rare event. Rare events tend to not occur often (that's why they are called rare) and that's what life is extremely rare. Because the reactions leading to it are.
