"I don't really know the difference" between 120 light years and 120 million light years!!!! REALLY!?!?!?! Do you not know the difference between 120 years and 120 MILLION YEARS!?!?!? Why is ignorance something to made light of instead of something to be embarrassed by? Your JOB is literally to INFORM. The entire GALAXY is only 100,000 light years across and that's a HUGE distance.

Why let those 2 idiots interview him what a disgrace “have you seen waterworld” ffs He’s there talking about a life changing discovery and that’s what they ask him

For context, don’t get too excited. 1. Research scientists have been known to push their initial findings. 2. His initial findings of DMS are subject to secondary observations because there could be error in the initial spectroscopy. 3. If the secondary independent observations match up then we will have be much more certain that DMS exists. But this alone is not proof of life, the assumption that DMS is organic is based on our understanding of earth physiology and biology. I can’t lie though I’m keeping one eye on this.

@kendo512

Ай бұрын

I don’t have a background in spectroscopy but I have seen people who do argue that the purported DMS signature is dubious. I hope it’s true and I hope we get independent verification, but I don’t have my hopes up at this stage. From a cynical perspective, he may very well not be that confident they have found DMS, but by claiming they believe they have he is boosting his media exposure which is a huge gain for an academic. It helps your career a lot

@simoncove1

Ай бұрын

It’s defo dubious and was proposed in September 2023. JWST is has made more observations this week so i’m a little puzzled as to why the lead scientist is so bullish on this unless he seen something else in the last six months that no one else has… Because as far as I can tell there isn’t any new data that’s available yet because the new data from James Webb will take months to digest so it’s a little confusing unless he has a sneak preview/new model which I somehow think is unlikely. A mini Neptune and a lava world also fitted the data apparently although no model is perfect unless he has (as I say) developed a new model. His confidence is eye catching however

I guess to be somewhat fair to the interviewers it was on BBC breakfast which has always been a bit light hearted nothing to heavy first thing in the morning programme but yes it was rather corny... His response to her initial comments on light years was particularly hilarious

Yes there are already 100 of potential habitable planets Even in our galaxy 2 moons of Saturn are habitable Finding out life in space is not a big thing but finding out intelligent life will be great

This is an eclipse but a whole world , planet that creates an eclipse which is a theory of nature and Astro physics or physics? Idk

BBC as usual will be issuing an apology !

It's known that objects can move through the ocean like air on this planet, so a water world if it had life would almost be guaranteed to have the same thing in abundance. Habitable would soon become habited, that is nature.

Nikku 👏🏻

LIfe is a natural part of the universe

whys that thing on his right still in a job?

BBC's first thoughts "I wonder if the water worlds has womens equal pay. Run the story"

If one of my employee would say she doesn't know what is the difference between 120 and 120 000 000 I would pay her 120 pennies instead of 120 000 000 pennies a year. Lesson learned... And the other one would have the difference in pennies cut of his montly payroll...

how many kos from earth to the asteroid belt? you can't look up anything, but if you guess within 6 orders of magnitude you win. kos is a unit of distance.

He could have found Alien life on another world and the interviewer asks him at the end "have you seen water world?" If that interviewer has a brain cell it will have died of loneliness.

No Diddy on the BBC Breakfast though

They are gonna keep searching for life until they find a life form that looks at human beings the same way we look at a cheeseburger.

Jesus our journalists are melts. Sorry professor on behalf of educated British people.

Waterworld 😂😂😂, that’s what they got from this. Intellect of a lemon

Oh Brother...! If you paid for the JWST and built it and launched it and analyzed the data then I would say you discovered life on another planet but smiley, you didn't discover anything....

I dont like what this researcher is doing... he needs to publish these results and have it peer reviewed instead of going to the media with it. It's very possible that this is nothing, and going to the media before peer review seems like an attempt to generate funding. Let your work speak for itself!
