Scientists find "strongest evidence yet" of life on distant planet. "This could be the tipping point"

From the article:



So according to you, a bloviating JPP shit4branez, a team of Cambridge University astrophysicists are "some self-described "astonomers"", eh?

You must be actually trying to make yourself look like the brainless, braying trumper jackass everyone takes you for, because nobody could make themselves look as stupid as you're making yourself look accidentally.

ROFL

There is no dumbfuck like the noballs dumbfuck.

From the same article - that the nurse clearly didn't read all of to you;

{Some research has questioned whether the currently proposed hycean planets are too close to their stars to support liquid water — including K2-18b, which orbits its star every 33 days.

Raymond Pierrehumbert, a planetary physics professor at Oxford University, has conducted separate research indicating K2-18b is too hot for life.

If the planet did have water, it would be "hellishly hot" and uninhabitable, he told AFP, adding that oceans of lava were more plausible.

Sara Seager, a professor of planetary science at MIT, called for patience, pointing to previous claims of water vapor in K2-18b's atmosphere that turned out to be a different gas.}

And even that was quickly refuted by real astrophysicists who pointed out the uncomfortable truth that at 400° there can be no liquid water on the surface, hence the possibility of life is virtually none.

This is also the same planet they used for the hoax of "finding evidence of life" back in 2010. They didn't even bother picking a different planet.

trying to bolster another facet of the military industrial complex.

ho hum. boring.

fuck the stars.

it's the economy stupid.

god, guns and butter.

BTW, Cambridge is just "a university".

Yep. They teach. They don't "do" astrophysics, at least not to any degree that makes any sort of difference anywhere.

Nomad said:
They, along with their astrophysics dept, are ranked as one of the top five universities in the entire world.

Teaching, not doing. Besides, your passive voice "are ranked" is meaningless.

Nomad said:
But hey, I guess I should just instead listen to the idiotic rantings of some no account, low-minded, low-educated, trump ass-licker troll on a message board who takes out his frustration over never having been laid on people who, unlike you, actually have something worthwhile to say.

Great pivot. It took you mere seconds to abandon your failed argument.

Nomad said:
... just quoting highly educated experts in an academic or scientific field, gets you triggered ...
Click to expand...
Nobody has quoted any highly educated experts. The article merely referenced a non-industry, career academic who writes papers instead of being an astrophysicist. The article couldn't find any highly educated experts to quote apparently.

Nomad said:
I believe what credible experts say.
Click to expand...
Nope. You believe everything you are told, no matter how absurd. You lend godlike credibility to career academics. I don't. You treat non-experts who say stupid shit as though they are preeminent experts saying something profound. You have a personal problem.

Nomad said:
In this case, they say there is a possibility that a planet with possible life supporting conditions has been discovered

In this case, "they" is a "he" and "he" says absolutely nothing.

Nomad said:
and that they are going to continue to diligently investigate it
Click to expand...
What did "he" say he would do, exactly, to diligently investigate it?

Nomad said:
with the most advanced scientific methodology available.

Which is what?

Nomad said:
You OTOH, believe anything you are told by a fat ass, semi-literate moron,

I'm the one who questions, challenges and doubts everything while you believe every word of what you are told. How's Climate Change going?

Speaking objectively in light of the above facts, most rational people would conclude that you are a blithering, half-assed halfwit.

You don't speak for any rational people. You only speak for your gullible, irrational self. Refresh my memory, in what year did Global Warming catastrophically destroy the planet?

Nomad said:
Yes, I do believe in AGW theory.

I know. You're totally gullible in that way.

Nomad said:
And unlike you, I can actually spell the word "believe" correctly.

I do make occasional typos. I don't, however, embrace Marxist religions just because I've been ordered to by my slave-masters who do my thinking for me. Fucking imbecile. :palm:

Remember, you have to qualify that with "the possibility of carbon-based terrestrial life is virtually none." Nobody knows what chances other life might have, e.g. silicon-based life, nitrogen-based life, phosphorous-based life, sulfur-based life, etc.

Well, they did say that they would be vigilantly investigating ... whatever that means ... like being too lazy to pick a different planet.

Agreed, and I did mention that in another post. Life might be nothing like terrestrial life - and there is a good chance we wouldn't recognize it if we were staring at it.

Why would they be? We are generally an unpleasant species who destroys its own ecosystem and acts in every way antithetical to it's own self interest. It's hatefilled and self-destructive.

Just look at JPP as an exemplar of what humans are really like when the masks come off.

so would you agree going looking for them could be the dumbest thing ever?

Cellular life may survive the temperatures and radiation of space but not the speed. We're told AI will eventually take over for humans so they're already preparing us for an invasion of our own making. I'm more worried about the US government than any extra-terrestrial.

If there were any alien life anywhere even remotely near us we would have detected an EM signal by now. There's no aliens nearby. There may be very distantly but their advancement seems like it's going to be behind us since, again, we have detected no known EM signal anywhere that is consistent.

I assume there's a fuck ton of life across the universe. Most of it probably still single cell if only because that's pretty efficient and fills most eco niches. But I'm also completely fine with advanced civilizations being out there.

In short you are probably fine to worry only about home-grown horrors rather than Wars of the Worlds scenarios anytime soon.

That's why they call it space. A light year is 6 trillion miles.

The highly ignorant such as you noballs, believe yourselves erudite and sophisticated, armed with your GED level education, rejecting the traditional religions. Mocking them as the opiate of the masses.

But you have the need to "bleeve". You are the traditional zealous hick who in the past would see angels and demons in everything. Now you see space aliens in everything. You've merely substituted what superstitions you follow.

What I said in the OP:

"They don't know what kind of life, if any, it would be, but they are confident this planet has the necessary requirements to support life....."

It's common knowledge what a barely literate slob you are, but if you can manage it, try to go back and keep on re-reading it over and over until the meaning gradually begins to soak through that petrified wood between your ears.

It's truly sad how the only way miserable fucking trolls like you can find pleasure in life, is by being assholes to strangers on the internet.
