Very exciting. I don't care if it's intelligent beings or single cell organisms, life is life!

"Life" is distinctly uncommon outside of our planet...in fact it does not exist.

@@AutoAlligator You don't know that, I don't know that, nobody who has ever existed knows that... Just as bad as those imbeciles who proclaim life exists elsewhere in the Universe without a shred of evidence.

I feel like most people don't realize the great distances between solar systems are. Then we talk about red shift stars... wonder how many astronomical miles they are away.

If the universe is expanding how would we even begin to catch up to it. I mean, isn't our very own galaxy moving millions of miles an hour through space?

@@DirtyRed While this expansion affects the distances between galaxies, it doesn't significantly impact distances within our own galaxy, the Milky Way. The gravitational forces within our galaxy are much stronger than the expansion of the universe, so objects within the Milky Way, such as stars and planets, are not being pushed away from each other by the expansion.Therefore, when considering travel within our galaxy, like to a planet 120 light years away, the expansion of the universe doesn't play a significant role in the travel time.

Put into perspective, before Australia was a "nation", before Aboriginals were "people", before the t model ford... Also interestingly, before the first atomic explosion.

That's nerve wracking lol

Meanwhile the government is has been tracking them for 70 years

There seems to be a little misunderstanding here. None of this is actually about life on K2-18b. When the planet was first observed in 2019, there were very tiny, ambiguous signs that maybe, just maybe, there could be Dimethylsulfide in the atmosphere of K2-18b. That's what they're looking at right now. It's just about whether this one molecule might be detectable or not. The reason that's interesting is because for all we currently know, DMS can only be produced by biological processes, on Earth it's phytoplankton, and would therefore suggest the existence of life on this exoplanet. Now there are several problems with claiming the existence of life over there based on DMS. First of all, the initial data suggesting DMS in K2-18b's atmosphere was very, very thin. It's very possible that it was just a misinterpretation. But most importantly, we don't have proof that DMS actually means life. We don't REALLY know that it's a biosignature. There were other molecules we thought couldn't exist without biological processes, like whatever we found in Venus's atmosphere recently, and then somebody came out with a purely chemical reaction that produces the stuff. It's just that here on Earth, we haven't discovered a non-biological source for DMS. Long story short, IF it turns out to actually be DMS, we MIGHT have found a biosignature, but we STILL WON'T KNOW for sure if this ACTUALLY means, "Life." If the theories are correct, K2-18b is a massive planet with a hydrogen atmosphere that's covered in deep oceans. We can't just zoom in 124 light-years and see for ourselves. Not even the new iPhone can.

@@ThursoBerwick Biomass ?

​@@ThursoBerwickThe planet is over twice the size of earth and could have a population density far greater than ours. Plus as you mentioned, there could be a environmental factor that means the molecule chains remaining intact longer.

To be honest this seems suspicious to me - we know that there is a lot of life on earth (duh) and this planet which shows no other signs of habitation by life other than this has has more of it than we do? Until we have more information, I think it’s more likely that on this planet, for some reason, there exists a way for this gas to be produced naturally without any biological process, rather than for it to have an ocean with orders of magnitude more life than on our planet,

In scientific research, any result could mean anything, either being true (which requires further proof) or appearing to be true but is false (example due to corrupted data).
