I’d certainly seen this exoplanet somewhere in my mainstream news world somewhere … so nice to see a breakdown here from “Dr Becky” about how the science isn’t so clear cut.
Anyone else able to provide insight on what the possible outcomes of the newly acquired data will be?
EDIT: what’s with the downvotes? Genuinely confused … is there some rule/culture against youtube videos or something?
Pretty good breakdown of the current science on the topic. Thanks.
I really don’t think this video is click bait. It’s reason for existing might be the media hype and clickbait crap that has been produced … but all the video does is dig into the published science and generally dispel what all the media hype is probably saying. It’s the opposite.
At some point, if anti-clickbait behaviour is going to be sufficiently superficial, it’s likely as bad as clickbait itself (not unlike an auto-immune disease).
Downvotes are for the stupid “life on an exoplanet” click baity bullshit.
And if she implied it at all, then I never want to hear her dumb ass say another word, and she should have whatever creds stripped.
Right, so you didn’t watch the video … it’s about the paper that’s getting so much media attention and why most in the scientific community don’t think much of it and what challenges to the initial paper have been made in subsequent publications.
The video is solely about published work, by a publishing and working scientist, and not at all some mainstream media stuff.
Gotta say, at some point, if downvoters are operating at such a superficial level, their reason for existing basically disappears. Like an AI would have done a better job here. The quality of the video is precisely because it nicely dispels whatever media hype might be out there.
