Potential Life in TOI-700? Everything You Need To Know!

You're about to embark on a journey to explore the stellar system of TOI-700 and discover what lies beyond our planet! Who knows, we may find a planet with sentient life on it! So buckle up and join us as we explore the unfamiliar world of exoplanets! Our mission today is to discover whether the planets of TOI-700 could sustain life. We'll be studying the star system, the four planets orbiting it, and the conditions which could make a planet habitable. What we discover could be rock-solid evidence of life beyond our planet! So let's explore!
There are many planets out there in the universe, and scientists think that one of them might have people living on it. Space scientists look carefully at the sky to try to find signs of these people and they hope one day they will be able to find the planet that has people living on it. It might be a long time until we find it, but it's exciting to think about!
We hear the word exoplanet everywhere we go now, but what is it?
Exoplanets are planets that are not in our own Solar System. Scientists have discovered lots of them since 1990 and some of them are close enough that we might be able to get a picture of them and find out if anyone lives there in the future! How do we find these planets?

Imagine life in TOI 700
Thinking the same and doing the same documentary about our blue planet

There are a many issues with finding life on other planets. (here are a few)
1. We don't have a definition of what life is, so how can we look for it if we don't know what we are looking for.
2. What is "habitable zone"? Whether or not a planet is inhospitable to earth based life, does not automatically mean it is not suitable for other types of life.
3. Does life have to be carbon based?
4. Is there only one recipe for life? If the answer to this question is no, then theoretically life could exist virtually anywhere in the entire universe, even in the depths of space, far from any planet/star. If the answer is yes, then life could be exceedingly rare in the universe, maybe only one planet per galaxy, or maybe even only this planet. On the other hand, as the universe was created by the big bang, there should be no reason to think, that the elements necessary for life only exist in our sector of the universe, they should exist everywhere. So, it may be that any star with a planet, will at some point in it’s existence, have conditions on the planet that are exactly the same as they were on earth when life formed. This does not mean that life persisted long enough to be come intelligent or even multicellular, just that it formed.
So basically, there are so many unknowns at this point that we can’t even begin to understand the likelihood of life existing elsewhere in the universe.

It's hard, because we're only searching for something equivalent to earth / earth-based life. Perhaps there are exotic forms of life that don't require water, an earth like habitable zone, etc. There's no way to tell either or at the moment.

never thought i would start learning astronomy at 3:58AM in australia lol, this is also awesome news, we might be able to (in a hundred or more or less years idfk) move to a new planet and start the cycle again! its really fascinating, although the change life may be there aswell is a bit eerie

Any and all life need 3 things.. 1 Energy but not too much not too little. 2 elements 3. Liquid such as water or methane like the methane lakes possible on titan. Finding life not carbon based is hard, due to carbon's ability to readily form bonds with other atoms giving flexibility to the form and function that biomolecules can take such as DNA and RNA which are essential for the defining characteristics of life, growth and replication. Any life found not carbon based would most likely be bacterial not complex intelligent like us unfortunately even silicon based life would be weak and primitive due to the weak nature of silicon bonds. Carbon is the only way a lifeform can be intelligent.

We need water to survive, but it doesn't mean Aliens needs water to survive, may be they need other to survive.

[DannyWOT]

Jesus Christ can we STOP spending half a video telling everyone what an exo-planet is and how we find them. We've seen that more times than the 5, 200 exoplanets discovered to date.
THANK YOU.

If I have twins, they'll be named clickbait and speculation.

I applaud the scientific community for developing the technology to detect potential habitable planets. With that said this technology will be useful when humans develop the technology to get us there within a reasonable amount of time which, at present, has not been achieved with our present understanding and theories of such. It will be useful information to be used in the future to pick out the planets that are the best choices for such an endeavor. There is also the issue of human nature going on our past encounters with indigenous populations and the proven problem of humans gravitating towards pushing them out and/or changing their culture to conform with our own selfish need to make others conform to our culture and norms not to mention the propensity to spread disease to these beings and their ecosystem or visa versa that would be deadly to us and/or them. Protocols and rules would have to be established in line with some type of prime directives on so many levels.

[DUSTY_SUSHI]

Reading through the comments, it seems like there’s so many technological shortcomings that need to be overcome before we can really start exploring even more. But at the same time there’s like billions of star systems, billions of potential inhabitable planets, and ONLY earth has life? I just don’t believe that, there’s gotta be more waaaayy out there. Given the infinite possibilities of space there’s just no way only earth has life, or just has humans even

Any life on what you consider not able to support life "as we know it" doesn't mean a different form of intelligent life can't exist. It would be adaptable to anything it forms on.

"The perfect size for a planet is about twice as big as Earth and only 25-30% bigger". I don't get it.

[Jamesdylandean]

Every place that I check to see how long day on TOI 700E is it says that it circuits it s sun in about 28 days. A day is how long it takes to rotate on its axis, not circuits its star. Earth takes about 365 days to circuit the sun, TOI 700 E is moving about 13 times faster in orbit than the Earth. But, the length of its day is unanswered unless, TOI 700E is locked in position and so the day is the same as the circuit of its sun is.

[adamhughes]

To something out there we are the Aliens!!!

[LoveHandle]

Oh how we so desperately want to find life on other planets.

[mm-dwrr]

There are so many goldilocks planets out there. l s'pose all it takes is one! 🦖

[tommitk]

Planet d is subearth? And planet e minineptune?

Who else was waiting for snoop dog beat drop at 5:34

4:21 "The perfect size for a planet is about twice as big as Earth and only 25 to 30% bigger." Huh?!? xD
I imagine what's meant is mass vs. diameter but... yeah, wow. sentence
