  1. 30% dislikes on this video already :( there wasn't that much resistance when the ozone layer was under threat and that hole reduced in size not until after 4 decades of appropriate human behaviour...

  2.  @naybobdenod  I believe James Lovelock discovered the CFCs in the atmosphere, which were damaging the ozone layer. -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Lovelock

  3. Hmm, fascinating, what are the CRF's of the 8 planets in our solar system?

  4.  @johndifrancisco3642  Tess is only transits I think... I think ESA"s Gaia space telescope can detect wobbles, not sure though... @Cool Worlds sorry, I missed that part, I need to see your videos earlier in the day with a sharper mind instead of always late in the evening here in Europe. I have done some citizen science exoplanet hunting myself and have come across a lot of graphs, where 2 dips are very similar, but couldn't verify it as an exoplanet, because there wasn't a 3rd dip... hence my worries for wishful-thinking...

  5. This method can keep predicting planets, but it has to stop somewhere; is there a rule or limit for that?

  6. Uhm... how can a dust particle from the Oort cloud transiting the star's disc be separated from an exoplanet transiting the same star's disc from a single or even a dual transit? Three transits are really necessary then to confirm it is a planet and not an accidental encounter in my humble opinion... I'm a bit confused here. o_O

  7. I would rank civilisations in a different way: Type 1 = a civilisation, which can adjust the orbits of asteroids. Type 2 = a civilisation, which can adjust the orbits of small moons. Type 3 = a civilisation, which can adjust the orbits of terrestrial planets. Type 4 = a civilisation, which can adjust the orbits of ice/gas giants. Type 5 = a civilisation, which can adjust the direction of stars. Type 6 = a civilisation, which can adjust the direction of supermassive black holes.

  8. Haha, yeah, that's true...:) hummm... I ment adjusting the orbit significantly enough to cool Earth's climate for example... I ment that the orbital adjustments have to result into benefits for the civilisations themselves, which could be stomping the ground strategically nonetheless. :D

  9. There isn't a mass limit on what can orbit around in a certain star system?

  10. I'm interested in a live Q&A. My question beforehand; Why are there more exomoon transits after the exoplanet transit than exomoon transits before the exoplanet transit? Shouldn't it be equal amounts -> 50/50?

  11. Oh wait, the graph at 15:30 is a prediction, nevermind.
