Copernicus was Polish. Descended mostly from prominent Polish families from cities that were in the Polish kingdom in his day and are still part of Poland today. He would have spoken Polish and Latin. He was educated there and published his works there. He did have a Prussian grandfather but to say he was German is inaccurate.

Not only your contents are extremely interesting and they provide deep thought, but your narration has the beauty of poetry. It's unusual for a science channel to have this beautiful combination of content and narration (I don't mean to diminish other science channels, they are great too, but their narrated approach is more direct). One of the best channels out there, no doubt.

Absolutely loved the setting used for filming! Greenery, chirping birds! Such a right decision, even if caused by the current situation - this puts at the center the very thing that the video talks about, the sun and all the life it creates here on Earth. Also, your voice is so comforting! Perfect for the calm discussion of science, especially study of such grand scales. It puts me in a trance-like state, but not like a sedative, just calms a mind immediately - to listen, to think and to remember what really matters.

It was a bad day when you stepped on a whole team of executives because your contact lenses were of a denser hardwood under your sucky benefits and your dino wiped out on the way home all because you were texting your frustration into a small piece of wood when you should have been watching the road.

U are correct earthling👾😃

The work that the team is producing here is really incredible. It's so uniquely creative and innovative. Many arguments have been made about what constitutes a definition of life over time. From self-replication to carbon-based chemistry, etc. Although one that has always struck me as the broadest catch-all conception is that on all levels-life seeks out and thrives in low entropy environments. Almost as if the raison d'etre of life is to forever fight entropy. Indeed, a low entropic star like our Sun fits this conception of where life might find a hospitable home quite perfectly. Though order can be seen in natural formations throughout the universe; it's difficult to conceive of discovering extrasolar life without a low entropic signature of some sort. In this vein, it seems that this conception is where we should really begin our search for extrasolar life: low entropic stellar and galactic environments. This idea, in particular, got me thinking-about Hoag's Object (PGC 54559) and the Terrascope concept. I can't recall ever seeing such an ordered structure in all of Astronomy. Indeed, some of the largest constructions ever created by our species throughout history have been observatories. Could it be that Hoag's Object is a massive galactic lens structure? With the outer ring forming a kind of aperture that can be manipulated? It's often conceived that the manipulation of matter would be a telltale sign of life, but what about the manipulation and structural management of empty space as well?

Sad in the sense that so many unlikely events had to transpire to form our sun and this solar system and our planet that it is more than likely that we are alone in this galaxy. At least in the sense that we are the only macroscopic technological species

Another fascinating 'special' piece that we've started to come to understand recently is the structure of our solar system. This may be a bias of them being easier to find, but we've found a LOT of solar systems where the 'inner system' (i.e. the Goldilocks zone) is filled with a couple massive gas giants, Jupiters or larger. No rocky worlds that might host liquid water and life there, at least not as independent planets. And even rocky, Earth-sized moons are likely uninhabitable, between the gas giants' radiation belts, the gravitational flux commonly seen in such moons in our system, and the extended periods of total solar eclipse as the moon moves into the shadow of the giant. Our system has no such 'inner giants', and instead seems to host a slew of 'outer giants', something we again haven't seen in many systems yet. It is theorized that these 'outer giants' acted as asteroid shields during the more chaotic periods of the early system, allowing life an earlier start on Earth than it may otherwise have enjoyed.

Dear Mr Kipping, thanks for the presentation.

I was expecting though to see towards which side you are leaning but no avail.

"The sun ripens a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do (Galileo Galilei)" Thank you again.

I love your shows and think you're a brilliant scientist. I have also always thought maybe it's our sun that's different and why there is life here. Not the earth necessarily.

@@StefenTower my quick math said 1 out of 300. Still you have a point. I think the presentation is just not detailed enough.

Same type and age and belonging to this 'lower third' of activity level? I think that would help.

What a great video and a great content of the channel! Thank you!

this isn't the channel we wanted, but this is the channel we needed.

If you can't see how special the whole arrangement of this huge machine, you wouldn't believe it actually exists. Everything is perfect for life. No mistakes. Also the sun burning for billions of years, it should have changed or run low on fuel, but what we will learn is that the whole universe is a huge machine, and energy goes wireless to where there is need and where it is abundant. The possibility of all these factors going on with out a glitch, the moon being at the right place, the sun being at the right place and continuing to work as it has for billions of years. We don't see the picture yet because we believe that it is good chances, nothing is as long lasting to be chance.

Another interesting, informative, and excellent video. Even reducing the percentage to 0.5%, as stated near the conclusion of the video, given the astronomical numbers, we are still dealing with huge numbers. Another consideration and concern is the effects of even moderate increase in solar activity on, e.g., the atmosphere, animal and human health, the electrical grid, communications satellites, and electrical and electronic components. Such a solar event similar or greater than the Carrington Event would likely cause cascading failures and lead to a plurality of major worldwide disasters.

Peratt: Characteristics for the Occurrence of a High-Current, Z-Pinch Aurora as Recorded in Antiquity. this paper is one that makes you think and ponder, you are warned..

Prof. Kipling you are a beacon of common sense 👌

He does which a good job of explaining things really takes you into the subject matter.

Thanks for sharing knowledge. 👍 🍻 Didn’t finish High School, went to the Army. I love to learn new information.

Interesting video, thanks. Would detailed observations of our 'solar siblings', HD 162826 and HD 186302 confirm or deny how rare the Sun is?

However im also wondering why NASA don't review or research deeper on the nearer Yellow dwarf star named Tau Ceti which is only 12 lightyears away on our solar system.. Its mass is 79% of sun and Luminousity of 65-70% of our Sun,it has three Rocket world (4 Planets confirmed)and two of those Rocky world were potentially Habitable, accordingly it was 7Billion years old(3Billion years older than our Sun)yet it still Cooler and dimmer than our sun cause its it has slightly less mass than our sun means it will live stable for another 2Billion years.. In my Opinion why not NASA put their heads on to Study Tau Ceti since its similar to our sun and has also a massive solar system similar to our own

Loved the video as usual but Copernicus was Polish. As a Polish person it hurt my soul when I heard you saying “German” 🙈

Also please note that depending on the time in history Poland has been both German and or Russian. My family history is "germanic" but the ancient family castle is located in what is now Poland.

maybe someone was up set over finding out we not special! or brokenhearted over finding out we are mediocre! it is hard for some to trade in hubris for humility.

Your a top bloke mt. Great videos , great insight, easy to follow ...just brilliant

Malmquist bias has the auto caption of "Mom Quiz Bias" and I love it.

The fact there isn't any earth analog in our own solar i.e a rocky planet with a large moon is terrifying in itself. Now that astronomers are scaling out to extrasolar systems and seeing that not only are earths rare, but also sun like stars it is really eye opening.

Josh M And there’s also the fact that we are in a stable orbit in the right part of the galaxy. Not too close to the center, with lots of radiation, but not too distant, where stars tend to be metal poor (and thus have fewer of the elements needed for a rocky planet like Earth.

What I like the most about you, Mr. Kipping, is that you use data to lead you to different beliefs. I have watched you go back and forth on whether or not you believe life in the universe is rare, and by watching your videos I can see how bad you want an answer, even going so far as to reject your previous beliefs based on new evidence. It's the most humbling and human thing to experience. May we all continue to better ourselves and our beliefs, and not be afraid to admit we may have been wrong. Keep up the great work.

Good stuff - great information. Thank you

Thank you again cool worlds. The truth is refreshing. Fantastic! You are a true scientist!
