  • there was an planet with 1.4 earth mass in an solar system ( not ours)

  • The smallest known planet is Mercury, don't argue because it's true. In other news: YOU LOSE. GOOD DAY SIR.

  • Shut the fuck up!

  • and not a single fuck was given on that day...

  • the hot neptune wtf its the COLD neptune retard

  • @CIAInferno No dude, you are wrong. The video is describing another solar system, not ours. In different solar systems, you can find "Hot Jupiters."

  • @CIAInferno pay attention to the things in the video.

  • is it possible that two planets will revolve around the star on opposite headings ?

  • @haroos power of computer defies physics

  • that was underwhelming...

  • thats the size of chucks dick

  • i think we will never find the smallest planet cause the universe is fucking HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Smaller than Pluto?

  • 30 lights years = 180 Trillion miles.

  • meh. nice info i guess

  • this name makes no sense

    "Smallest planet may have been found" there is no smallest planet like there is no smallest rock

  • holy shit! its niburu!

  • Are you sure it's a planet or planetoid(like pluto)?

  • You obviosly had to be trippin when u posted this vid... So tell ur mum to buy mushrooms like everyone else & stop picking them from the back garden!!!

  • your dumb.. its a science channel.. u cant capture a video from a such distance.. so its a computer animation.. ur watching tooo much sci-fi..

  • Naw man, if he was trippin, he wouldnt have figured out how to post a vid.

    Probably drunk lol.

  • shit vid man sorry but it scks =[

  • idiot video

  • Here we go again, EJLfilms, a premiere Numpty retard flamer, with more of their stupid provocative comments. Thank God he seems incapable of reproducing so his gene pool will die with him. Most of it is in the tissue bin next to his computer.

  • maybe to understand that we're just a whiff of insignifficance and that there are more important things that we could care about TOGETHER. Maybe anytime the humans will understand this and stop fighting each other... we are nothing compared to space, it's ridiculous to fight due to territorial reasons or to keep power...

  • well there would be no real point in living if we were into perfection everything has its's balance there wont come a day when we wont be fighting. think of it we humans strive for perfection but we can never obtain. i think there is a metahpor fo it its was something like this its not its not the result that matters its the journey to it..... or omething like that i cant really remember would be nice if some1 corrected me:)

  • @Sakakawea310 So, fight for control of Mars?

  • @rusher38 LOL would probably be the future XD

  • @Sakakawea310 I thought the world is at war over religion and security.

  • @Sakakawea310

    Time to start kicking alien butt.

  • @Sakakawea310 If you haven't figured this out yet, humans will always fight. That's part of life. If we didn't fight all of the time, then there would be ciaos all over the world and not just in a small area.

    Point-we can't stop fighting

  • @EJLfilms Yea well humans are curious, and we need to expand humanity cuz Earth wont feed every single human alive for too long, so we need more land to feed our famlies and wee ned a good spot, so we need to check out all "fucking spots". About wars: We agree :)

  • @HUNDuffman

    "Earth wont feed every single human alive for too long,"

    -That is bullshit. Earth will always be more than enough for humans.

  • @ACEDcomputers lol? remember what happened to lake chad right? its happening to other water supplies also. Water will not live as long as humans do.

  • @doggie37

    It got moved, either to the oceans or another river. The water we have is the exact same as the water the dinosaurs drank. We will NEVER run out of water because we ALWAYS return the water. When you piss, you are returning water. When you shit, you are returning water. When you sweat you are returning water.

    We will NEVER, EVER run out of water.

  • @ACEDcomputers why do you have to make me sound stupid... you should at least give me a chance =[

  • @ACEDcomputers Lol no offence n shit but tell this to a chineze guy. And water pwnz, i know it wont run out, its just gonna be screwed, i mean most of it will be salt water, it needs to be destilized and stuff, and then re-contaminated with the ideal amount of minerals, so its supposed to be xpensive. If not, then :D:D:D:D.

  • @ACEDcomputers if u remember lake erie u will know that all good things get ruined...of course it made a recovery but still.. the earth could get hit by a meteror or the sun could go out. now this wont happen for a long time but still. nothing is impossible :)

  • I love you for your fucking silent

  • no, the smallest planet is spax3's ass

  • ppl called it as xena but its not the smallest

  • nope its officially called Eris :P

  • Stop being retarded. Sorry, but someone needed to tell you that.

  • you mean just like dragon balls? SWEET!

  • you been watching too much indiana jones lolol

  • You know dragon ball z was ONLY a show right. Turn off your TV.

  • Silicon occurs everywhere, it is a predominant mineral. Occurring not only in rocks, but in the structure of plants and bones and so forth...

    One might as well be saying "Lets get all the beach sand on the planet to one place" ... Beach sand is largely SiO2 also!

  • Comment removed

  • If they are counting this as a planetary body then they better reinstate Pluto. Seriously how can people think that they're all high & mighty as to demote a planet & make it part of the Kuiper belt. that's like telling a midget (no offense) "Oh sorry you just don't make the cut anymore we have new standards & well.. to put it frankly, you're just no longer human, ummm yeah you're also going to have to leave this house. BUT HEY! Cheer up, you can always play w/the other animals outside. YAY!"

  • planents are not sentient beings. They are not conscious, unlike a midget. Pluto does not care that you are defending it.

  • People, we can infer this wisdom from Uranus. Uranus is almost like Neptune, and we can see why Uranus is tilted because it might've been affected long ago like this video..

  • Do not believe that a planet is different from a moon. Some people find big moons, so to be more respected, they call it a planet.

    There are some other criterias for planets. I believe it must have a satellite. So... there could be tons of tiny objects around Pluto which have satellites which are even smaller than they are.

    HAHA!! on Family Guy, Peter had a gravitational pull!!

  • the Egyptians used ramps to push the limestone blocks into place. But the great pyramid at Giza is more than 150 yards high, which would in theory require a ramp extending at least 750 yards into the desert - an unlikely scenario.

  • Unlikely things happen everyday.

  • they used wood pieces to make the blocks roll over more easily, to transform the sharp edges into a cylinder shape

  • Bullshit

  • Don't forget about INTERNAL ramps!

  • YOUTUBE/YAHOO NEW WORLD ORDER!!

  • Hey dexxtter your complex ideas and concepts may be more accepted amongst YouTubers, IF YOUR SPELLING WASN'T SO LOUSY.

    Bad spelling immediately lowers one's credibility, makes one appear to be a retard.

  • nearest galaxy with humanlike inteligent life is, unfortunatelly, NGC 300 - far around 7 Mly from here,

    then also M82, NGC 5128 and NGC 4395

  • yes yes im sure someone named illuminatislut knows the secrets of the universe

  • hm, are you really sure???

    ;p

  • are you really sure??

    I think that's the real question.

  • yes, I am sure

  • umm....isn't that what the freaks are saying is planet X? Other freaks call it Nibiru...

    So on one side the gov says theres no planet X, on the other they say they've found this lil system almost exaclty like the planet X solar system...

    lol wow, is it also in a 3500yr orbit? lol

    Others say we are approching the center of our solar system. Definatly some crazy shit happening out there...cant wait to see how it all actually happens..

  • u do realise seeing it happens means we`re approaching OUR doom, right??

  • Thier saying we dont know if its going to kill us all...It might just make a livable hell on earth.

  • You better break out your cryogenic chamber if u plan on sticking around to see our solar system collide with another...

  • Plerase dont suject me to your inability to harness your own linear space-time. Thanks!

    Imortality is possible people, not in the conventional way we see in "the highlander" but in perseption.

    When your having fun, time moves fast, when your not, time moves slow. This is not just a quinkydink..

    Linear space-time is relitive people. You live in a paradox of endless possibility. Use it!

  • We're not approaching the center of our GALAXY, we will be crossing the galactic plane. Imagine a dinner plate, with the center being the center of the galaxy. Imagine bodies of mass rotating around the center above, and under neath the plate. The plate is the galactic plane, and we will be crossing from one side of the plane to the other.

  • actually we ARE spiralling towards the galactic centre.

    we are also spiralling towards our sun

    the moon is spiralling away from us though :(

  • Comment removed

  • Yes. But dexxtteer is referring to the end times scenario. We are drawn to the center of the galaxy, but aren't even close right now. However, we are close to crossing the galactic plane. The moon spiralling away at 3.8 cm per year. Galaxies are also expanding away from each other (generally), and the "Universe" is becoming larger. Which would mean it's expanding into something else. Likely, there are more than one "Universal Bubbles" expanding... which negates the name.

  • you do know science is a religion of material. You can study how things more and interact your whole life. in fact, you could do it for millions of years, and get no where. I understand you tryign to tell someone what they were confused on. But why? Who cares if we are crossing this line of calculations. We came from the center of the galaxy, in a black hole. So obviously the end would be into one. But that does not explain anything other than how things interact. Which is a belief/ theory.

  • We came from the center of the galaxy? no. We came from a single point smaller than an atom.

    Why inform someone on what they are confused about? The same reason why anyone else has for years. I don't understand the purpose of your comment. I simply informed him that the Mayan 2012 prediction is simply based on the birth of a new sun, (our solar system crossing from one side of the plane to the other). This is symbolic to their people, and that would indicate the beginning of a new calender.

  • isnt the big bang just a theory (also the best thing we can go on at the moment)

  • Yes, it's just a theory. And we actually only understand a small fraction of what is going on out there in space.

    Our kind was meant to go into space. Even if there is a God, do you think he would create all that real estate and have it wasted?

    If there is a God, than God and science have to match up. There has to be more out there than what most consider. Humans cannot live on this planet forever, and we were meant to travel the galaxies. That is why we were given the gift of rational thought

  • yes i agree we need to colonise planets to ensure our survival for many thousands of years to come and maybe we might find a race that are well primative to us now and maybe they might considers us as gods (if we dont destroy them lol)

  • Actually, I believe that is where our ancestors got their 'Gods' from. And I believe that as technology advanced on Earth, the frequency of their visitations diminished due to fear.

    Either way, to think that Human kind will live on Earth forever without migrating is ignorant.

  • yeah i believe the same thing seeing pyramids being a good example of a hidden technology given to us then taken away again or hidden. and yeah everything will have to move to survive eventualy hopefully we'll see something that will help us very soon (its a hint :) )

  • we made the pirymids. stop trying to make it as though humans arent capable of making such great things. you can make a pyramid out of suger cubes cant you?? well just scale it up

  • since when did sugar cubes wiegh over 10 tons. even most cranes cant lift that much and what the hell would they use wooden rollers yeah theyed get cruched as soon as the stone goes on them and hey they didnt even have iron tools or anything so yeah we couldnt have done it ourselves. using sugar cubes is a poor example

  • they eygiptians had swords. meening they had metal. an like i said all you have to do is up scale everything. they easily had the man power too pull it off. hens why no more pyramids were made after they relised the slaves. an if your sayin alians did it. well why did they make it out of stone. the alians would have to overcome the same obsticals we did using the same materials meening if they can do it we can do it too. an why did these alians leave?

  • 1) yeah they had metal the would need a huge crane bigger than the pryamids themselves to lift the stone and like i said not even nowadays cranes can lift the stone used.

    2)there wasnt enough people around for miles your talking about way more than 50,000 people

    3)yeah i am saying aliens did or assisted in making them and why they left look at calosity's last comment

    4)you cant just scale everything up, we could to a certain limit but not to the pryamids of giza scale its much too heavy

  • so why is it the alians left???? a water based planet able too support life an all manner of resorces an they just left it???? if the alians aint smart enough to understand a good thing then they are sure too stupid too make the pyramids never mind a space craft capable of travaling faster than the speed of light an even if they did have one theyd arrive at earth in the wrong time peroid they had intended. if you dont know what i meen look up the theory of reletivity

  • 1) maybe the aliens left because they thought they had helped us enough. and did you even read the comment i suggested you read the one by calosity "And I believe that as technology advanced on Earth, the frequency of their visitations diminished due to fear."

  • fear of what??? some poxy men with poxy guns an poxy ships. MADE OF WOOD!!!!. ye becuse all higher life forms fear things made out of wood an guns that take a hole minute to fire 2 rounds an 30 seconds to relode. oh my these alians must of been bricking it. give me a break

  • fear of us as technology get greater so does our weaponry and back then they might have thought that theyve done what we needed or something i dont know i can only imagine (with realism)

  • and with relism. as soon as they thought we had become a threat proceed to blow us too smitherines. with all there weapons. if they can master space travle im sure a few tanks an fighter jets wont be a problem for them. so no the pyramids were not built by alians. we did it. just admit it thats humans are capable of amazing things

  • what if they dont want to attack us, why are you so closed minded. and why dont you tell me how they built surely if we built it then we would know, and since we are capeable of such things and btw the ramp theory wont work because the time problem so tell me how. ill tell you one thing, do research instead of just saying what youve learnt in school. not everything in this universe revolves around violence there is peace but for some its usualy peace through power instead of understanding

  • peace in the universe. boy oh boy oh boy. you know so little so naive. all intelegent life is violent. the smarter somthing is the more blood there is. look a chimps vs us. they can be violant but were far worse. an why would the alians give us fucking pyramids. there was plenty of other stuff the could have. an you say they took the tech away. you cant uninvent the nuke can you???

  • no, peace can be everywhere but its people that deny it and want power that brings violence if we all got together and talked about problems then fixed them there would be peace but no there will always be someone who hates the idea. and of corse you can un invent the nuke its easy all you do is get rid of any existance of it and all the plans on how to make one and why dont you use your little imagination and open your mind slightly. i dont know why but all i can do is use my grey matter.

  • you could never uninvent the nuke. you cant just get rid of someones knoledge if einstine didnt exist some one ells would have an made the nuke possible. an if the knoledge of a nuke cant be deleted then why is there no alian tech on the planet why cant a single person find out how to make a space drive capable of geting us out of our own solar system. and weres your evidence??? u have none. you only have the belife that alians did it. an you cant mesure toutch see belife. so its not evidence

  • why would they give us tech for a space drive more than 2000 years ago. how else were the pyramids built its imposible for us to do it so how are people with "swords" in a desert going to do it more than 10,000 bc. and what else were the pyramids built for the pharoes, hell no there was not one mummified boddy found in them chambers. there are drawings on on the walls of space craft.

  • obvously you dont know what they ment when asking. how did we make the pyramids. they were refering to. "how did the people at the time make them" and your still not answering why would they give us pyramids. id love too see were your coming up with this absolute horse shit about space ships writen on the walls. iv never seen them. i bet you havent too. dont forget the eygiptians also painted a man with a dogs. hawks hippos crocs head. they drew weird things. show me the proofe of alain involmnt

  • right the initial arguement was about we making the pyramids not about aliens so lets go back to the begining.

    1) the stone used in the making of the pyramids were 2.5-15 ton, nothing back then could support that amount of weight.

    2) they couldnt have had a mass amount of slaves because there wasnt enough people around for miles.

    3) the only idea left is that they had help from some other being.

  • the quary they got the stone from was only half a mile away. poeple today have replicated how they think hte pyramids were made using the same tools they would have used. it takes up to 200 men to pull an push a block waighing 12 tons. an there were only 4 12 tone blocks used in the berial chamber. the rest were smal in comparison an took about 20 men to pull. they had thousnads at hand living around the pyramid site. an maybe it was built inside out. still weres the proofe of alians

  • You're thinking far too simply about it. The pyramids were built facing exactly the directions of NSEW. Multiple pyramids, all over the world... and many different times in history, were built with the base of it exactly the same size as each others. Ancient writings speak of un-natural light sources (for example, a light bulb). Also, they have found examples of ancient batteries made from pottery, copper, and acidic fluid. AKA, the "Baghdad Battery". Why is this not a possibility with you?

  • The reason why the pyramids were built was to hold items inside to be preserved over long periods of time. The Pyramid is an ideal way to withstand the battle against the elements for thousands of years. If there is intelligent life, then they started very similar to us. Learning from a primitive beginning and thus resulting in space travel. They likely recognized where we were in that journey and tried to help us preserve the past to educate the future. Its not that far fetched, really.

  • dude, another theory!! 1-generation theories are enough, but theories on top of other theories on top of theories might be dangerous!! Could create conflict of ideas, and just because of some stupid ideas!!

  • Like davidank said, these theories are not just guesses. They are based on facts, tested, and hypothesized. So you are suggesting that we as humans should not try to find our origin or our destination? Just lay around in a stagnant pool of water waiting to die? Nah. I'd rather "Theorize" than do nothing. Dude.

  • gee you must be smart because you used the word "dude" sarcastically, implying that youre just so fucking intelligent that you have no time for simple slang terms such as "dude" and "man". In other words youre some kind of asshole with no friends. Go THEORIZE about that you FAG!

  • Hahah. That's what I thought.

  • A theory in science in not equal to a guess. A scientific theory is much more than a guess. A theory is supported by evidence & has passed all falsification tests. This is when a theory indeed might even be considered a law. The Big Bang is one of these theories. There is much evidence supporting it. Predictions founded on its premises have been observationally verified. Just a friendly FYI. Source: Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, and etc.

  • I just read that comment somewhere else -.-

    You just copied a guy

  • Actually that is my own words I was careful to not copy & put things in my own words, 2nd that info is throught the internet in many places as it is a fundamental law on the BBT - 3rd, I did say the sources are other than myself. Please undertand a comment in it's entirety and not interpert it for what you want it to be.

  • Sure. Wish I had time to read it.

  • It's funny how a lot of people get bent out of shape on here. It's rediculous. I was merely trying to pass along info to help someone clarifiy something. I never claimed the info I gave was from my mind. People get off on slamming people on here. Again I find it immature & humurous. Thanks for your comments.

  • Sure. Wish I had time to read it.

  • if we are facing a star with planets rotating in the same plane as us, then we can detect.. but if we are on different plane, we wont be able to detect.. so no wonder we found only 200 extra solar planets

  • its like neptunes moons where they switch orbits once in a while

  • huh?

  • cool

  • why is neptune hot, being so far from jah sun?

  • insane amounts of radiation

  • Lol not because of radiation. Its so hot because it's close to the sun.

    Most exoplanets (if not all lol) we discover are giants near a star, because then they are easier to detect.

  • im confused....

  • is it possible for a gas giant. to have moons the size of earth some this like romulus and reamus

  • like earth

  • can 2 planets share an orbit

  • yes,they can.

  • If they dont we will not have our solar system and also we will be thrown to the outskirts of the solar system and Die

  • Wow! Cool! But I think NASA would appreciate that if you correctly called that a "planetoid." Ha ha!...ha

  • or how about "asteranet"? Sounds more groovy.

  • The aliens might be offended by the name "Aliens".

  • Then we shall call them, Klingons.

    =D

  • You mean the things William Shatner uses fixed onto his head to keep his toupee from falling off?

    (It's spelt 'Cling-Ons' BTW!!)

  • Maybe "peoples of another planet" would be more politically correct.

  • We will some day be the aliens in another galaxy, think about that..

  • we may already b aliens 2 other planets :P

  • we are probably aliens to this planet. think about that

  • it's a possibility

  • we're going nowhere,we'll be dead before the century is out!

  • If we keep thinking like that, maybe. We'd have a better chance if we believed there is something beyond a 100 years to live for.

  • What if in that planet there are little gray men with fat heads, and they land on top of the british house of parliaments, and the alien steps out saying

    "Peoples of America, kiss my ass, or die!"

  • BE nice to Americans hon. Not all Americans are bad just like not all interantional people are bad. How can we speak for all of us when we don't know everyone in the world? God bless you my friend †

  • Thank you sweetgirk4jc

    but I meant that as a joke, I mean how dumb would those Aliens be if they landed in UK to make thier demand to the peoples of USA?

    LOL I dont hate America, I love it (^_^)

  • ohhhhh we are not alone out there - there's another planet, wow!

  • There has been 287 planets discovered last time I knew. So yes there is other planets :P

  • famousOnTheInternet wots your site all about? 'Strike a light!...'  LOL

  • i think the only possible explanation is that its darths death star. obviously.

  • The force is with you...

  • What's with the comments?? This isn't our sun. It's a red dwarf sun not too far away; 30 light years. Our sun is about 8.3 light minutes away from the earth.

  • the dictionary definition of a planet has changed. pluto is no longer a planter because a planet must be above a particuler size. if pluto wasnt big enough theres no way that thing is.

  • .... it says its a 5 earth mass planet. That means it's 5 times HEAVIER than earth. So yes, it is a planet

  • Mass isn't weight it's size!! and volume!!

  • No, mass is the quantity of matter of an object. Measured in kg.

  • and your forgetting that its kg(squared)

  • No, I'm studying (or did...since vacations startet 3 weeks ago) that, and it's Kg. Not Kg^2

  • very true, however i think Pluto was also removed from being a planet because it was just a barren ice land,

  • Dont believe this... I think the whole thing is dense. Maybe the star is rotating towards us or is simply expanding faster. Very perturbing...

  • No offense.... but really poor detail here -_-

  • yeah

  • 23,000 viewer woo :P

  • One for the Nibiru idiots.

    Wee can see this planet, but can't see Nibiru? Wow...very weird...NOT...because hint: Nibiru doesn't exist morons!

  • biggup from the dwarf massive

  • i like turtles

  • me too

  • IT'S A METEOR, FUCKBAG.

  • I LIKE TURTLES...

  • me too

  • How can it be the smallest planet if it is 5 times bigger than earth?.That would mean our planet was smaller!!!

  • is states, "5 times as MASSIVE" not bigger, there is a difference in that.

  • What does that mean though massive?Is there another meaning apart from being big?

  • Greater in mass.

    Two objects could be the same size, but one is denser than the other, meaning it was more massive.

  • Meaning it is more heavier or more compacted? I think i get it now thanks!!

  • They mean the smallest planet discovered outside our own solar system.

  • I was thinking the same thing

  • I think it means the smallest extrasoler planet.

  • Naturaly i dont really mind, but is anyone else afraid of dwarves?

  • nope, just you! ;)
