1 00:00:00,790 --> 00:00:07,750 [Music] 2 00:00:13,669 --> 00:00:09,950 thanks for the organizer for letting me 3 00:00:14,959 --> 00:00:13,679 give you talk to a sir yesterday so I 4 00:00:17,029 --> 00:00:14,969 think all to the a couple times the 5 00:00:20,210 --> 00:00:17,039 steady guy so that kind of tells me that 6 00:00:22,759 --> 00:00:20,220 I cannot give you any details 7 00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:22,769 so put any specifics that you have I can 8 00:00:29,450 --> 00:00:26,160 have the answer for you the question 9 00:00:32,179 --> 00:00:29,460 session or later all right so I'm 10 00:00:35,020 --> 00:00:32,189 finishing my PhD in the Netherlands and 11 00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:35,030 I'm moving to Berkeley to my postdoc 12 00:00:40,299 --> 00:00:36,960 part of this group their breakthrough 13 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:40,309 Singh group so we tell you today about 14 00:00:46,639 --> 00:00:43,530 the search for interest for intelligent 15 00:00:51,470 --> 00:00:46,649 life outside the earth if we actually 16 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:51,480 have here some always so this is my kind 17 00:00:55,459 --> 00:00:54,090 of introduction I had three parts for 18 00:00:59,209 --> 00:00:55,469 this talk so I'm going to give you some 19 00:01:01,010 --> 00:00:59,219 introduction of Seti a I'll tell you 20 00:01:02,660 --> 00:01:01,020 about the regulation program part off 21 00:01:03,860 --> 00:01:02,670 and also I want to tell you about a 22 00:01:06,730 --> 00:01:03,870 little bit of other things that I'm 23 00:01:10,490 --> 00:01:06,740 interested on which are also part of 24 00:01:13,550 --> 00:01:10,500 astrobiology which kind of ties into 25 00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:13,560 with our stuff as well ok so what is 26 00:01:19,130 --> 00:01:16,110 setting SETI stands for search for 27 00:01:21,289 --> 00:01:19,140 terrestrial intelligence and kind of way 28 00:01:24,410 --> 00:01:21,299 to think about it is so you have slowly 29 00:01:27,020 --> 00:01:24,420 here you have communication technology 30 00:01:30,620 --> 00:01:27,030 of many kinds and kind of series kind of 31 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:30,630 somewhere there and I like to start this 32 00:01:35,660 --> 00:01:32,329 introduction by asking a question and 33 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:35,670 this is how common is intelligent life 34 00:01:42,410 --> 00:01:39,450 in our galaxy cuz nobody knows the 35 00:01:43,850 --> 00:01:42,420 answer to that but you probably have 36 00:01:47,539 --> 00:01:43,860 seen this before this is the Drake 37 00:01:50,359 --> 00:01:47,549 Equation and instead of an equation is 38 00:01:53,020 --> 00:01:50,369 more of a guide to help you think about 39 00:01:55,460 --> 00:01:53,030 this question so what kind of 40 00:01:59,539 --> 00:01:55,470 ingredients you need or what were the 41 00:02:01,160 --> 00:01:59,549 requirements to have in daily in life 42 00:02:06,260 --> 00:02:01,170 somewhere else that we can actually 43 00:02:08,210 --> 00:02:06,270 detect so you have is going to go into 44 00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:08,220 the next slide so the first two 45 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:12,209 parameters we have here it's the how 46 00:02:16,610 --> 00:02:13,410 many of the 47 00:02:18,140 --> 00:02:16,620 stars from our Milky Way how many of 48 00:02:20,780 --> 00:02:18,150 those what is a fraction of those I have 49 00:02:23,780 --> 00:02:20,790 planets and of those what is the 50 00:02:26,420 --> 00:02:23,790 fraction that you have a planet in what 51 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:26,430 is called a habitable zone so that you 52 00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:28,170 can actually have like that 53 00:02:34,190 --> 00:02:31,650 so from Kepler we know that basically 54 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:34,200 every star up there when you look at the 55 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:36,210 night sky every star you see has a 56 00:02:42,140 --> 00:02:40,050 planet much likely and we also see that 57 00:02:45,140 --> 00:02:42,150 there are lots of them that have planets 58 00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:45,150 in the habitable zone so you have your 59 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:47,310 start here you have red area which is 60 00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:50,130 too warm to be the blue area to be which 61 00:02:54,890 --> 00:02:52,080 is too cold and you know the green where 62 00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:54,900 it's a perfect to have liquid water 63 00:03:01,610 --> 00:02:58,530 basically so then we can see that these 64 00:03:03,470 --> 00:03:01,620 two terms are are hinting to have are 65 00:03:05,810 --> 00:03:03,480 telling us that all these these two are 66 00:03:08,060 --> 00:03:05,820 common but about the what about the 67 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:08,070 other parameters in this equation so you 68 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:10,410 have all of the fraction of planets that 69 00:03:16,010 --> 00:03:13,290 you have around that are in a habitable 70 00:03:19,430 --> 00:03:16,020 zone how many of those actually have 71 00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:19,440 life how many of those will create 72 00:03:24,530 --> 00:03:21,510 intelligent life how many of those 73 00:03:26,780 --> 00:03:24,540 actually create a civilization and L 74 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:26,790 stands for the length of that 75 00:03:31,730 --> 00:03:29,610 civilization so let's start to think a 76 00:03:33,170 --> 00:03:31,740 little bit about that so I'm glad that I 77 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:33,180 actually gave a talk today not yesterday 78 00:03:39,199 --> 00:03:34,530 because well we have covered a little 79 00:03:43,310 --> 00:03:39,209 bit of this today and so there are some 80 00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:43,320 hints that maybe life well I guess the 81 00:03:48,890 --> 00:03:44,910 building blocks of life might be out 82 00:03:51,590 --> 00:03:48,900 there everywhere we also know that life 83 00:03:54,350 --> 00:03:51,600 seems to be resilient here on earth and 84 00:03:56,330 --> 00:03:54,360 giving cosmological times we can think 85 00:04:00,250 --> 00:03:56,340 well we have prolly enough time to 86 00:04:02,630 --> 00:04:00,260 evolve into something that isn't alien 87 00:04:04,820 --> 00:04:02,640 but at the end we don't really have any 88 00:04:06,890 --> 00:04:04,830 constraints on this we don't really know 89 00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:06,900 so what you can say is that at the end 90 00:04:12,199 --> 00:04:09,120 of the a is equally likely completely 91 00:04:14,570 --> 00:04:12,209 equally likely that we are the only 92 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:14,580 civilization in the galaxy or there are 93 00:04:20,930 --> 00:04:18,930 thousands of them we use a known but as 94 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:20,940 scroll second set and we don't really 95 00:04:27,020 --> 00:04:23,490 have models to do this right so the only 96 00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:27,030 way that we can fear this out is by 97 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:31,710 making an experiment so in SETI when 98 00:04:36,770 --> 00:04:33,530 you're looking for intelligent life 99 00:04:39,890 --> 00:04:36,780 you're not looking for pretty smart 100 00:04:42,830 --> 00:04:39,900 dolphins or chimpanzees what you're 101 00:04:44,510 --> 00:04:42,840 looking for is for technology and we're 102 00:04:47,030 --> 00:04:44,520 using technology as a proxy for 103 00:04:50,270 --> 00:04:47,040 intelligence so in this case these are 104 00:04:53,690 --> 00:04:50,280 examples of that so in specific in 105 00:04:55,820 --> 00:04:53,700 technology I mean using what we use for 106 00:04:58,340 --> 00:04:55,830 communication which is the 107 00:05:01,730 --> 00:04:58,350 electromagnetic spectrum so we have 108 00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:01,740 radio radio antennas or radars and but 109 00:05:06,620 --> 00:05:04,080 also we have lasers right and so all 110 00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:06,630 these are possibilities that that you 111 00:05:14,930 --> 00:05:09,440 can basically communicate through space 112 00:05:17,270 --> 00:05:14,940 and from the surface of the air so this 113 00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:17,280 upload right here shows basically 114 00:05:22,370 --> 00:05:20,880 wavelength the opacity or the atmosphere 115 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:22,380 so you can see there are some windows 116 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:26,250 here where we actually can observe what 117 00:05:31,340 --> 00:05:29,130 is out there so this is the optical when 118 00:05:35,719 --> 00:05:31,350 we can see the stars with your eyes we 119 00:05:40,010 --> 00:05:35,729 also have radio and infrared so at this 120 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:40,020 moment most of the SETI work has been 121 00:05:44,659 --> 00:05:41,610 done in the radio but there are actually 122 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:44,669 a few that has been done special in 123 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:47,490 optical and a few that are starting to 124 00:05:55,550 --> 00:05:51,690 do in in the infrared so he's going to 125 00:06:00,080 --> 00:05:55,560 show you a little bit video here to help 126 00:06:03,020 --> 00:06:00,090 us think about these three ideas and how 127 00:06:04,460 --> 00:06:03,030 to find a civilization other so in my 128 00:06:06,860 --> 00:06:04,470 name is ISA galaxy this is a milky way 129 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:06,870 so in mind you have a planet somewhere 130 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:12,810 which is in the right spot you have 131 00:06:21,050 --> 00:06:16,770 there it has life it creates intelligent 132 00:06:27,140 --> 00:06:21,060 life it creates technology and it starts 133 00:06:32,930 --> 00:06:27,150 sending radio signals then at some point 134 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:32,940 in my years I off well you will see then 135 00:06:37,490 --> 00:06:34,650 the galaxy is that you have these 136 00:06:40,430 --> 00:06:37,500 bubbles of radiation of electromagnetic 137 00:06:40,750 --> 00:06:40,440 radiation and here on earth that's where 138 00:06:47,890 --> 00:06:40,760 we 139 00:06:49,780 --> 00:06:47,900 and at some point you will start 140 00:06:55,270 --> 00:06:49,790 receiving the signal from all these 141 00:06:57,280 --> 00:06:55,280 bubbles out there and I is going back to 142 00:06:57,850 --> 00:06:57,290 this picture you can see that the 143 00:07:00,940 --> 00:06:57,860 technics 144 00:07:04,150 --> 00:07:00,950 the thickness of these bubbles basically 145 00:07:06,550 --> 00:07:04,160 reflect the length of this civilization 146 00:07:09,550 --> 00:07:06,560 for how long they have live and 147 00:07:11,350 --> 00:07:09,560 basically this tells you that at some 148 00:07:15,090 --> 00:07:11,360 point they became extinct so I think 149 00:07:19,390 --> 00:07:15,100 this is very relevant currently for our 150 00:07:21,790 --> 00:07:19,400 state of our own civilization it's 151 00:07:23,170 --> 00:07:21,800 something to keep in mind right and I 152 00:07:25,660 --> 00:07:23,180 guess the other thing that I want to 153 00:07:27,580 --> 00:07:25,670 show here is that so earth should be is 154 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:27,590 over there you may you can see that it's 155 00:07:33,130 --> 00:07:29,810 like a point or maybe the laser so that 156 00:07:35,380 --> 00:07:33,140 will tell you the extent for which we 157 00:07:38,470 --> 00:07:35,390 have conducted set experiments so we 158 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:38,480 have only search stars which will be 159 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:41,690 around that laser so there's lots of 160 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:46,130 stars to to search for so what kind of 161 00:07:54,070 --> 00:07:50,090 signals are we looking for so this is 162 00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:54,080 actually a real signal artificial signal 163 00:08:02,020 --> 00:07:56,720 that is coming from outside the solar 164 00:08:03,970 --> 00:08:02,030 system I know that is artificial because 165 00:08:06,070 --> 00:08:03,980 you have frequency here this is radio 166 00:08:09,550 --> 00:08:06,080 and you have these very strong lines 167 00:08:13,510 --> 00:08:09,560 here it's artificial because they are 168 00:08:16,060 --> 00:08:13,520 very narrow the nature doesn't know how 169 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:16,070 to produce these kind of lines measures 170 00:08:20,350 --> 00:08:18,170 are the narrows kind of things that 171 00:08:22,570 --> 00:08:20,360 nature could produce and those are tough 172 00:08:26,590 --> 00:08:22,580 so sometimes where that is so I know 173 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:26,600 that this is artificial unfortunately I 174 00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:29,930 know - that is the Voyager 1 spacecraft 175 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:33,110 so it's terrestrial I mean man-made I 176 00:08:38,140 --> 00:08:36,050 guess and but this kind of gives you an 177 00:08:41,830 --> 00:08:38,150 example of what kind of signatures are 178 00:08:44,230 --> 00:08:41,840 we looking for in our data we're doing 179 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:44,240 this well I should give you an example 180 00:08:52,650 --> 00:08:49,730 so how sensitive we are Voyager has a 4 181 00:08:54,590 --> 00:08:52,660 watt transmitter 40 watt sorry so 182 00:08:56,300 --> 00:08:54,600 basically the 183 00:09:00,040 --> 00:08:56,310 say you know the light bulb in your 184 00:09:02,150 --> 00:09:00,050 fridge and we're able to detect that 185 00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:02,160 even though it's outside the solar 186 00:09:06,740 --> 00:09:05,310 system now very strongly with this 187 00:09:08,180 --> 00:09:06,750 telescope which is actually very close 188 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:08,190 from here is the Green Bank telescope 189 00:09:12,530 --> 00:09:10,290 and some of the some of you this weekend 190 00:09:14,540 --> 00:09:12,540 probably saw it and you know just for 191 00:09:16,670 --> 00:09:14,550 reference you can see that they the size 192 00:09:21,470 --> 00:09:16,680 of the trees nearby it's pretty large 193 00:09:24,259 --> 00:09:21,480 largest of this kind so kind of looking 194 00:09:26,090 --> 00:09:24,269 at the future land so here this is plug 195 00:09:28,610 --> 00:09:26,100 you have okay wavelength or frequency 196 00:09:32,329 --> 00:09:28,620 where you want and this basically tells 197 00:09:34,970 --> 00:09:32,339 you the sensitivity and the green line 198 00:09:38,509 --> 00:09:34,980 here tells you about gbt the ribbon 199 00:09:41,329 --> 00:09:38,519 telescope and these are basically our 200 00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:41,339 telescopes this line right here the 201 00:09:46,430 --> 00:09:43,529 dollar line that represents the 202 00:09:48,949 --> 00:09:46,440 strongest transmitter radio transmitter 203 00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:48,959 that we have currently which is the 204 00:09:55,970 --> 00:09:51,839 Arecibo planetary radar so if you put 205 00:10:00,050 --> 00:09:55,980 that at a distance of 50 light-years you 206 00:10:03,379 --> 00:10:00,060 can detect it now in the future with the 207 00:10:06,949 --> 00:10:03,389 SK the Square Kilometre Array you were 208 00:10:12,439 --> 00:10:06,959 able to detect much fainter signals like 209 00:10:14,389 --> 00:10:12,449 a basically radar from a airport it's 210 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:14,399 kind of a video here I'll just skip 211 00:10:19,819 --> 00:10:16,050 through so this is the sky kilometer 212 00:10:22,429 --> 00:10:19,829 array and basically idea here is that 213 00:10:25,579 --> 00:10:22,439 once in a couple of years once this is 214 00:10:30,350 --> 00:10:25,589 finished building we will be able we 215 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:30,360 will be sensitive enough to have a for 216 00:10:36,620 --> 00:10:34,410 the first time enough sensitivity to 217 00:10:38,329 --> 00:10:36,630 look of a large volume of stars and to 218 00:10:42,230 --> 00:10:38,339 start to answer in this question in a 219 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:42,240 very sadistic 'el way so I'm very 220 00:10:46,579 --> 00:10:44,610 excited about that and stay tuned for 221 00:10:49,009 --> 00:10:46,589 that it's kind of finishing my 222 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:49,019 introduction here so as I was saying 223 00:10:54,019 --> 00:10:50,970 before SETI is a search for strategy 224 00:10:55,699 --> 00:10:54,029 structure level intelligence and usually 225 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:55,709 people confuse set it with the SETI 226 00:11:00,620 --> 00:10:57,689 Institute which is very famous but it's 227 00:11:02,809 --> 00:11:00,630 not at I'm part of what is called the 228 00:11:06,189 --> 00:11:02,819 Berkeley series Research Center at UC 229 00:11:08,500 --> 00:11:06,199 Berkeley and there are other SETI 230 00:11:12,050 --> 00:11:08,510 institutions are they're much smaller 231 00:11:14,420 --> 00:11:12,060 but well we're so much people in general 232 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:14,430 is a small field this is a group in 233 00:11:20,060 --> 00:11:17,130 Berkeley something that you can see 234 00:11:22,940 --> 00:11:20,070 right away is that one wheat half of the 235 00:11:27,470 --> 00:11:22,950 population that is not contributing to 236 00:11:30,130 --> 00:11:27,480 this work so please come and join us men 237 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:30,140 cannot do it by itself okay 238 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:33,210 so now I'm going to tell you about the 239 00:11:38,180 --> 00:11:34,890 breakthrough listen this is a project I 240 00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:38,190 saw a couple years ago by the 241 00:11:42,170 --> 00:11:39,510 contribution of one hundred million 242 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:42,180 dollars for spread of ten years this is 243 00:11:46,310 --> 00:11:43,890 the largest project ever 244 00:11:47,930 --> 00:11:46,320 this is yuri milner he was one the 245 00:11:50,540 --> 00:11:47,940 contributor for this and you can see 246 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:50,550 some famous people here this is Frank 247 00:11:55,670 --> 00:11:53,010 Drake actually which from the Drake 248 00:11:58,310 --> 00:11:55,680 Equation and you can see how large this 249 00:12:00,620 --> 00:11:58,320 project is just by looking at the number 250 00:12:05,090 --> 00:12:00,630 of people in the world Advisors this all 251 00:12:06,740 --> 00:12:05,100 were well-known scientist so very 252 00:12:08,660 --> 00:12:06,750 basically I can tell you is that we're 253 00:12:10,220 --> 00:12:08,670 using the most sensitive radio 254 00:12:12,230 --> 00:12:10,230 telescopes in there in the world at the 255 00:12:13,910 --> 00:12:12,240 moment so the Green Man telescope for 256 00:12:16,700 --> 00:12:13,920 the Northern Hemisphere and the Parkes 257 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:16,710 telescope for science fear at the moment 258 00:12:22,370 --> 00:12:19,050 we're hopefully adding more telescopes 259 00:12:24,970 --> 00:12:22,380 in the future but stay tuned quickly I 260 00:12:28,070 --> 00:12:24,980 will tell you that so this project has 261 00:12:32,770 --> 00:12:28,080 lost two projects between in the middle 262 00:12:36,770 --> 00:12:32,780 I guess a word in the future we want to 263 00:12:39,860 --> 00:12:36,780 observe nearby galaxies as well as say 264 00:12:44,180 --> 00:12:39,870 the the plane of the Milky Way 265 00:12:46,910 --> 00:12:44,190 for now we're concentrating and at a set 266 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:46,920 of targets of the closest stars so for 267 00:12:52,610 --> 00:12:50,970 that we use submit a paper months ago on 268 00:12:55,580 --> 00:12:52,620 the first observations for the first 269 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:55,590 year where we concentrate on a subset of 270 00:13:01,700 --> 00:12:57,450 frequencies here within one and two 271 00:13:05,810 --> 00:13:01,710 gigahertz where we were looking at 700 272 00:13:07,130 --> 00:13:05,820 stars all of them are nearby they are 273 00:13:10,070 --> 00:13:07,140 spread all over the northern hemisphere 274 00:13:12,740 --> 00:13:10,080 and I guess one difference from our work 275 00:13:14,650 --> 00:13:12,750 and other study earlier cell experiments 276 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:14,660 is that they were concentrating 277 00:13:19,550 --> 00:13:17,130 concentrate their force earlier on only 278 00:13:22,460 --> 00:13:19,560 solar-type stars because we didn't know 279 00:13:24,590 --> 00:13:22,470 better but now we know that 280 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:24,600 - basically can exist in all kinds of 281 00:13:32,210 --> 00:13:27,450 stars and they all have an a habitable 282 00:13:34,010 --> 00:13:32,220 zone so trying to remove the interpose 283 00:13:38,590 --> 00:13:34,020 center point of view as much as possible 284 00:13:40,580 --> 00:13:38,600 we're then observing all kinds of stars 285 00:13:43,550 --> 00:13:40,590 very quickly I'll tell you that we have 286 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:43,560 a lot of data we constructed a lot these 287 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:44,730 are hundreds of computers that were 288 00:13:54,410 --> 00:13:48,530 using here in a green bag servitor II 289 00:13:56,390 --> 00:13:54,420 and without going much the results we 290 00:13:58,670 --> 00:13:56,400 basically found some interesting 291 00:14:00,350 --> 00:13:58,680 candidates but at the end we realize we 292 00:14:05,750 --> 00:14:00,360 fear out those were from nearby 293 00:14:08,050 --> 00:14:05,760 satellites so but if you don't like my 294 00:14:11,330 --> 00:14:08,060 conclusion that we didn't find it t 295 00:14:13,820 --> 00:14:11,340 there are lots of other conclusions that 296 00:14:15,710 --> 00:14:13,830 you can find online from this is 297 00:14:21,110 --> 00:14:15,720 worthless you guys doing and you 298 00:14:24,290 --> 00:14:21,120 actually finally choose your best you 299 00:14:26,810 --> 00:14:24,300 prefer option you kind enough to 300 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:26,820 finalize some other way that you can use 301 00:14:29,630 --> 00:14:27,330 these data 302 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:29,640 I mean we're observing bunch of stars 303 00:14:37,970 --> 00:14:35,610 and stars tend to do crazy things so 304 00:14:43,430 --> 00:14:37,980 this is the Sun here this is a what is 305 00:14:45,620 --> 00:14:43,440 called aa but basically a flare up from 306 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:45,630 the star from from the Sun you can see 307 00:14:49,670 --> 00:14:47,730 this is the wide circle represents the 308 00:14:53,180 --> 00:14:49,680 sides of the Sun so you can see how much 309 00:14:55,580 --> 00:14:53,190 bigger this is these also emits in the 310 00:14:58,430 --> 00:14:55,590 radio and we can detect that also 311 00:15:02,320 --> 00:14:58,440 Jupiter here has Aurora which also emits 312 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:02,330 in the radio and we can detect that some 313 00:15:07,970 --> 00:15:05,850 work now it's been detecting radio 314 00:15:10,700 --> 00:15:07,980 emission from other stars and branders 315 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:10,710 as well so the reason why this is 316 00:15:15,950 --> 00:15:14,370 important is because so we know as I was 317 00:15:17,780 --> 00:15:15,960 saying earlier this is a habitable zone 318 00:15:19,850 --> 00:15:17,790 this green here 319 00:15:22,010 --> 00:15:19,860 shape and depending on the size of the 320 00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:22,020 planet I mean of the star the larger 321 00:15:27,710 --> 00:15:24,720 star the more bright you are and the 322 00:15:32,630 --> 00:15:27,720 more the harder you are so they have it 323 00:15:33,740 --> 00:15:32,640 also on campus away from that star but 324 00:15:34,890 --> 00:15:33,750 this is not the end of the story right 325 00:15:39,780 --> 00:15:34,900 so 326 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:39,790 earth it seems that you need a magnetic 327 00:15:45,019 --> 00:15:41,890 field surrounding your planet to protect 328 00:15:48,390 --> 00:15:45,029 you from crazy things coming from your 329 00:15:51,510 --> 00:15:48,400 host star so that's something that we 330 00:15:52,890 --> 00:15:51,520 also want to do with this data in the 331 00:15:55,050 --> 00:15:52,900 future so maybe next year I'll tell you 332 00:15:56,370 --> 00:15:55,060 more about this there are a lot of 333 00:15:59,400 --> 00:15:56,380 things that I didn't tell you about from 334 00:16:01,740 --> 00:15:59,410 the break listened initiative we have an 335 00:16:05,030 --> 00:16:01,750 REU program so you have any undergrads 336 00:16:07,829 --> 00:16:05,040 interested on this please let me know 337 00:16:10,079 --> 00:16:07,839 yeah many other things but you can all 338 00:16:13,079 --> 00:16:10,089 the obvious questions or you can also go 339 00:16:16,290 --> 00:16:13,089 to our website and we actually have a 340 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:16,300 monthly collaborative meeting where we 341 00:16:21,269 --> 00:16:18,010 basically gathering a lot of a lot of 342 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:21,279 people it's happening tonight at 2:00 343 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:25,330 a.m. we're kind of shifting schedule so 344 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:27,250 like everyone from the world can join 345 00:16:35,370 --> 00:16:32,170 but yeah you're awake and not too 346 00:16:44,310 --> 00:16:35,380 intoxicated maybe you want to join yeah 347 00:16:52,110 --> 00:16:44,320 thanks all right got time for one 348 00:16:54,269 --> 00:16:52,120 question hi I was wondering if you could 349 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:54,279 give some feedback of what Europe you 350 00:17:00,560 --> 00:16:56,890 might be about the WoW signal some 351 00:17:02,340 --> 00:17:00,570 decades ago and also tabi star right 352 00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:02,350 yeah very interesting 353 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:07,329 Thanks ah so the WoW signal I haven't 354 00:17:10,980 --> 00:17:08,890 looked very deep on it but what I can 355 00:17:12,929 --> 00:17:10,990 tell you is that most of the SETI 356 00:17:13,890 --> 00:17:12,939 community at the moment on belief that 357 00:17:16,049 --> 00:17:13,900 is absurd 358 00:17:19,530 --> 00:17:16,059 that is muscle ascetic community don't 359 00:17:22,290 --> 00:17:19,540 believe that is a real signal the reason 360 00:17:27,569 --> 00:17:22,300 was that we are going too much into 361 00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:27,579 details you were observing - I don't 362 00:17:30,419 --> 00:17:28,569 know if this I don't know if you're 363 00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:30,429 ready astronomer or not if this will 364 00:17:36,180 --> 00:17:33,520 make sense or not basically the signal 365 00:17:37,549 --> 00:17:36,190 even though appear once they never saw 366 00:17:40,590 --> 00:17:37,559 it again 367 00:17:44,070 --> 00:17:40,600 not even in a following observation 368 00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:44,080 basically a few minutes later so there 369 00:17:51,159 --> 00:17:48,320 is a lot of once you find a signal 370 00:17:53,919 --> 00:17:51,169 you really want to find it again and 371 00:17:56,169 --> 00:17:53,929 again and I just one telescope with 372 00:17:58,720 --> 00:17:56,179 multiple telescopes and then you can 373 00:18:01,269 --> 00:17:58,730 start believing that this comes from 374 00:18:03,730 --> 00:18:01,279 actually that location otherwise there 375 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:03,740 are so many our we call a radio 376 00:18:09,370 --> 00:18:05,450 frequency interference coming from earth 377 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:09,380 that is very hard to remove otherwise 378 00:18:13,779 --> 00:18:11,450 about Taavi star we actually have been 379 00:18:16,539 --> 00:18:13,789 doing observations of that so but also 380 00:18:19,149 --> 00:18:16,549 know don't know what TV star is so this 381 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:19,159 is a very interesting star which I wish 382 00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:21,129 I have time to talk to you about it 383 00:18:29,549 --> 00:18:26,240 which the source of all talk but it has 384 00:18:35,980 --> 00:18:29,559 a was the score by Kepler and has very 385 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:35,990 strong tips on their entrepreneur's and 386 00:18:41,379 --> 00:18:38,450 usually these tips are related to 387 00:18:42,850 --> 00:18:41,389 planets going in front of the stars or 388 00:18:45,100 --> 00:18:42,860 in this case these tips are very large 389 00:18:48,129 --> 00:18:45,110 and they're very weird they're not the 390 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:48,139 usual type so astronomers have been 391 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:50,090 stretching their heads for more than a 392 00:18:55,659 --> 00:18:52,250 year really trying to figure out why 393 00:19:00,519 --> 00:18:55,669 this is coming from still under heavy 394 00:19:03,430 --> 00:19:00,529 debate there has been a very recent 395 00:19:06,129 --> 00:19:03,440 event another dip happening basically 396 00:19:09,310 --> 00:19:06,139 two weeks well last weekend the weekend 397 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:09,320 before that so it is very very nice very 398 00:19:12,700 --> 00:19:11,210 hot topic a lot of telescopes were 399 00:19:15,249 --> 00:19:12,710 you're see rectly looking at it so I 400 00:19:21,669 --> 00:19:15,259 suspect many news in the next following 401 00:19:23,550 --> 00:19:21,679 weeks on this so yeah alright let's
