That's a lot of clear explanation (including the math) packed into 21 minutes. Thank you, Professor Kipping.

[alansouthwell]

I'll be 70 soon and cherish the fact I've lived to see so many amazing discoveries and achievements. If I had one wish, it would be the confirmed discovery of another earth-like world with a techno signature.
Thanyou for all your videos, they are both informative and thought-provoking.

[fredrikio]

There are three voices that I just can’t get enough of. Sagan’s, Attenborough’s and Kipping’s.

Thank you so much for all the fantastic content you choose to share with us mere mortals! 🙏🏻🥰

Every day that Cool World uploads a video is a good day

[ZackZeysto]

Awesome research. Thank you and the Cool Worlds Lab for this amazing work.

[phrozenwun]

That opening alone is enough for me to like this video!

Thank you for including maths.

[parsias]

This explanation deserves an award. Well done. Congrats on the soon to be published paper!

[toddhall]

Been waiting for some new Cool Worlds. This makes me happy.

[bigjermboktown]

If there is another planet out there like ours I sure hope they have a professor David Kipping teaching them about the universe! You are definitely one hell of a narrator!

[caralladas]

One of your best videos recently. Congrats for that Nature publication

[AdamConder]

Came for Earth-like exoplanet discoveries: Got a Maths lesson.

[richtigmann]

it's crazy how we keep just discovering more and more... I'm exciteed to see what we will continue to discover

[Davidbmr]

If I’m interpreting this correctly, you’ve made the Fermi paradox even more terrifying. The question gets even louder: Where the hell is everybody?

[Lemurion]

Wow, I am always amazed by how far our knowledge of exo-planets has come. I remember growing up in the seventies and all the science fiction I read (some of which was much older) held it as an artifact of faith that the only way to detect exo-planets was to physically reach other stars.

[jahismighty]

Always a treat to find a new Cool Worlds video in the feed. Thank you!

[AshesOfEternity]

If only I could be a benevolent ruler, charmed by your eloquent intellect, offering patronage and protection to your works and kin in exchange for listening to you talk about it over the occasional glass of wine.

[mattpike]

Thanks for these videos, they're always fun to watch. Best of luck to you and your team with the exomoon research 👍

[VoiheiaPhysics]

The more strange is that while life can be possible in exoplanets, the development of technology in most (possible all) is not possible. The Copernicus principle has become the Copernicus Paradox!

[LycanDreams]

Oh shit! you have an actual research paper coming out? That’s really cool. I can’t wait to read it.

[StarSnack]

Most times, I'm intensely following along and absorbing as much as I can.
Other times, this brain is full of "attractive humannnn, soothing voice! beautiful mind... wow"

Either way, I love all your videos equally. Thank you for keeping us in the loop on all these incredible discoveries about our stunning universe.
