Habitable Planets Are Super Common According to a New Study

Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about a new study that tries to estimate the total amount of Earth like planets in our galaxy.

Even most of the G type stars may be too active for life. As I understand it, our star is unusually mellow, by a wide factor.

[tayzonday]

It would still take us 200 years to reach a star that is 20 light years away at 1/10c using nuclear pulse propulsion — with no easy way to slow down once there. We’re going to have to send sentient machines to do this exploring. Machines aren’t bothered by a few hundreds or thousands of years in transit.

[davisjugroop]

What are the variables?
Atmosphere, weather and climate, star systemnstabilty, planet core, magnetic field, water, gravity, ...etc

[CaliforniaBushman]

Pretty clear that G, K, M - Y size stars have the best lifespans to allow for an evolved genome.

[pierrebeaudet]

Wondering what is the impact of double stars on these statistics ? I understand that more than 50% of the stars are double stars and these systems may not be as stable as single star systems, which I believe should impact the stability and hence the probability to find life on the planets orbiting around them.

Content creating beast!!!
Keep em coming:)YouTube’s finest.

Surely all kinds of life is out there. We should hide ourselves for as long as possible, rather than advertise we're here. We have an extraordinarily beautiful planet that others would love to have for themselves!

[johnvanort]

Anton I pray for you! You have a great heart and that isn’t a common trait. Thank you for being the person you are.

[yugotuba]

Your channel is the best man, thanks so much for doing this for us🙏

[mst]

One word, exciting. I love the universe. Even if it’ll definitely kill me.

[pawelkarpinski]

6:39 Dear Collegues, in the article by Bryson et al., where exactly in the text is that 300 milions habitable planets mentioned?

[dwightalexander]

I wish i could live long enough to know if there are an intelligent aliens out there in our galaxy, since travelling light speed is impossible for now

[Ninisu]

Thank you for the wonderful introduction... You are a wonderful person too...

[kaltkalt]

There are 5, 702 planets in the Milky Way with life, and only 13 have intelligent life.
However I’m not sure earth counts as one of them anymore.

[bobrussell]

Wow ! Thank goodness we have Anton. BREATHTAKING NEWS, but still a modest presentation, with no sensationalism !

[wayneshirey]

The news from the scientific community about the chances of life in our galaxy takes us on a rollercoaster ride of positive and negative hypotheses. Still, I am grateful that they are seriously searching.

[codydickinson]

Hello anton, wonderful person and fellow earthing. I miss the intro and music!! Happy place . What da math bring it back!!

[ry_an.]

Life (as we *don't* know it) could honestly exist on any planet. I feel like just because it has "earth-like" qualities, does not necessarily mean it has life. Maybe a planet such as 55 Cancri E could be a potential for extreme life, compared to a planet like Luyten or Kepler 186f

[justindeloach]

Bought a wonderful person tshirt, just recived it today! Awesome! Love your channel 🙌

[RhodeIslandWildlife]

Thank you wonderful Anton.
You do get that our chances of actually finding an habital planet that doesn't require terra-forming are over 10, 000 to 1.
If we physically check 5, 000 planets we've still only got a 50/50 chance.
I love your positive attitude, but we will need to get exponentially better at space travel before we start considering this as a possibility.
