@darklinkmetroid i like your idea, but i dont discard the other possibility. A UFO wont ignore our specie. As they are cientists too (as like curiosity to know more) probably they had been made experiments with us, or just maybe watch! Our mind and fisiology could be strange to them. Like we think about our beautiful animals we have. Everything will change after we make contact with them, i wonder.
This research has been discredited. The scientific community is united in declaring that none of the data presented support the conclusions. The researchers are now perpetrating a deception.
@studiousx3 Oh yes science gets a bad rep for realizing that it was incorrect and changed to accommodate. Turn your head to religion then, they'll give you a definitive answer, will not change their idealogy under any circumstances, and won't require you to think; It would actually be better if you don't.
CHECK OUT "2012 UFOs Connections and Revelations" ON YOUTUBE This is a compilation of evidence revealed by former and present American presidents, astronauts, military personnel, politicians along with credible aired UFO footage. This compilation also contains planned revelations regarding knowledge of life beyond Earth along with it's current and ever ongoing presence which is being hidden from the public.

To be fair, most scientist don't say (or aren't suppose to say) "you need this for all life," but they say (or should say) "you need this for all predicted possible life." (The second option leaves the possibility that there is life that does not follow the rules, but has not been predicted.)
In science, nothing is absolute. The closest thing in science to a doctrine is a theory, like the theory of evolution, or the theory of gravity, or germ theory.

I love most of the stuff TYT do, but casually throwing around hypothesise like they're doing here makes them sound little better than drunkards in a bar sharing anal-probe stories.
With a estimated 3,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 ( 3 sex-tillion ) stars in our Universe. This is NO great suprise to me either. The Earth being the ONLY planet with life ? That, I doubt ! A wonderful proof that "LIFE FINDS A WAY !!" It is great pity with the more than 500 planets know to NASA we have NO way to travel and investigate them in person. Even probes would take a very long time to there !! I hope one day we can travel there to "seek out new life...To boldly go.."
not really a new life form. what they did is put a known life form into an environment where phosphorus was absent to force it to adapt, which it did--apparently. its not 100% yet though, because the testing necessary to determine this apparently does not play well with arsenic.
@Nebbyker Because our planet hasn't hit that point yet. Once we become completely international and there's no longer a difference in race, religion, language, color, body type because of geographic location (and it will happen eventually - it's for the better), then we'll be able to band together.
Bullshit! There are people of the same race who comit crimes against people of the same race. It's a mental problem. Someone will always want this or that, or someone will always hate someone else for having something they don't have. Banding everyone together, isn't going to help the problem.
This clip tells me people who watch TYT are really stupid. I don't know if this guy Cenk is that stupid or is he just dumbing it down for his audience.
There are all sorts of creatures out there that people don't know about. Like the one I have. It's this strange creature that lives in my pants and has a big bushy mane and long neck with a purple head. It's been attached to my pelvis as long as I can remember. And it can change size! It really seems to enjoy neck rubs, but it cries sticky tears when I stop. It's right above those two mysterious hairy tumors I have that really hurt when they get hit.
@azmanabdula They have created "amino Acids" with silicon instead of Carbone amino acids are used to build up dna and protein but they havent found any life with it yet, but now find a life that uses arsenic instead of phosphorus isnt it so strange thought that6 it could be silicon based lifeforms out in the universe and those would need totally different environment then the life on earth.
I know this is off-topic... but it kinda annoys me when Ana says she's an underground gamer. Is being a gamer so nefarious that you need to go "underground"?
If it is, I want to know what the hell games she's playing because I want in.
The guy fails to understand that not all atom structures are suitable of forming any kind of connections. And living too far from sun makes everything freeze. Too close makes everything liquid.
I agree with this show on most part but bacteria forming isn't as easy as they make it sound like.
The Young Turks fail miserably every time I see them try to cover a science-related topic. The researches didn't find microbes "with arsenic in its DNA."
They found microbes with phosphorus in their DNA, put them in a phosphorus-poor environment (with arsenic), and allowed the cells to utilize arsenic where phosphorus would normally be found.
Try a simple wikipedia search next time, blow hard dipshit.
Cenk's just a little off on view of scientists on this subject. It's not that xenobiologists say that life has to be exactly like Earth. We just don't know enough about what other conditions could create some form of life to make informed guesses about how to find them. The fact that we look for Earth-like planets and places with liquid water is simply because that's the only example of places where life can evolve that we know of.
Life could be more common in gas giants for all we know.
Please dont let it be just humans. I'd probably kill myself if it was absolutely true that it was just humans. The thought of that just scares me on a profound level. we're shit.
OK so they found microbes...how many people are dying on earth or how much are we fucking things up on Earth. Honestly instead of putting Billions and trillions into Nasa how about putting it in poverty and Earth conservation? Of
Course the next step is to fully fuck up Earth and go to the next planet and fuck that up...
What about billions of dollars spent on your media and tv you watch, which helps nobody, oh but you want to shit on NASA.
Yes, lets all just be ignorant monkeys and live in the Dark Ages for all time like you said. Lets all waste money on religio churches and temples that rob, OH IM SORRY, help the poor. Lets all pray to imaginary sky gods.
Oooh Evil NASA! Never mind that NASA's discoveries and technologies help prevent poverty, improve medicine, infastrucure, and the like.
I don't give rat's ass about the media or TV. Monkey's living in the Dark ages? Ignorant much? Technology is essential now, never said it wasn't. Just that spending billions on satellitesgoing into deep space is a waste of money altogether which could be used to benefit those living in poverty. Wait till U become impoverished, you'd be pissed off at those monkey's spending money on crap like this. Fix the problems here first then talk. And don't get me started on the environment.
Go live in a third world country, then you'll see what REAL poverty is. And NASA isn't wasting our money you moron, blame Wall Street and their fuck ups for that. Fix our problems here? What does that have to do with scientific research and study? If there were people like you in the world running things back then we would have never progressed, no moon landings cure for diseases nothing. If you want to help the poor, then go help them, stop wasting time on an internet site.
Nasa gets funding from the government. Um please explain to me how exploring outer space is gonna fix our problems atm? Cause I'd rather we fix our problems now than fuck up this planet and move on to the next.
@wssher Nasa does a lot A LOT more than just look for other planets we can live on. They have provided us with GPS systems, telecommunications and they have made great headway in Cancer research, etc. etc.. THe money that they receive is less than 6% of the US budget. We would not progress with anything if we do not look and work towards the future....I know a lot of average Joes and Joannas that have had cancer, that use GPS and most everyone I know.uses telecommunications even in Bolivia.
I've already explained myself and why you make no sense in your whining about NASA, and so have a bunch of other posters cmsalvagio, obaeyens, who are way smarter than you.
NASA does amazing things and you're a fucking loser...and a troll.
"Honestly instead of putting Billions and trillions into Nasa how about putting it in poverty and Earth conservation?"
Tell me why are you spending so much money on your TV, computer, internet, mobile phone while you could have used it to helps a poor person you take in your home? How exactly did you help this world to be a better place?
TV? I don't own a TV thank you very much. I gave up watching years ago. Course I have a computer, I need it for work same with a phone, internet etc. However, please explain to me how sending probes to different planets and parts of space really benefits humans atm. And yes I give charity, I give to relief efforts when there's a disaster in the world. Besides I don't waste billions and trillions of dollars, Nasa does. The money can be used for problems on Earth instead.
"However, please explain to me how sending probes to different planets and parts of space really benefits humans atm. "
The technology created for that is used in every day equipment. No NASA, no weather satellites, no GPS, no detailed maps,... The materials invented is being used in your jacket, your cooking plates,... You won't even be aware that a disaster happened.
Wow your stupidity is amazing. You're either a troll, or little spoiled uneducated American kid who is too dumb to learn. They have seen NEW LIFE, something that is structurally unlike YOU, and ME, and the billion other people rich, poor, middle class, humans. Unlike animals. Unlike anything ever seen before in the history of EVER.
I'm not American or spoiled U fucking retard. Thanks for generalizing. Oh yeah about this "new life". Yeah it's great, still won't change anything for the regular Joe. BTW the way you've been acting all moronic like I pity U.
What if instead of wasting our money on pointless bullshit research like this, we spend it on how to solve world hunger or how to fix the economy ? who gives a flying fuck about this crap or life outside this world, let's fix our planet problems first !!!
@fackafacka That's EXACTLY what I have been saying for years now! I don't give a fuck about a planet so far away that we need a special machine to see it! We got people here that are homeless and living in serious poverty...and it doesn't take a special machine to see that just take a trip downtown -_-
So spend some of your paycheck to help those homeless people. Why are you wasting your time typing on the internet posting on forums asshole, GO HELP THE HOMELESS THEN.
"We got people here that are homeless and living in serious poverty.."
Tell me what have you done to help those homeless people?
Also throw away anything that has been created by the help of these scientists, throw away your mobile phone, satellite dish, plasma TV, X-ray machines, cancer treatment,....
@obaeyens I actually go help feed the homeless on a regular basis, don't try to give me talks about helping the homeless when you probably don't even give a shit about them! I never said that scientists aren't important, they are crucial, but there are some things that we could honestly waste less time on and go fix our planet first. My uncle in Germany is a scientist so I don't have some hatred against scientists.
"don't try to give me talks about helping the homeless when you probably don't even give a shit about them! I"
You would be surprised in what I do last year I spent about 2500 euros in helping people that did not have the money and I have done this for the last 5 years.
The problem of poor people is not related to science. If you use the science money then it will end up in some politicians bank account. The science and technologies actually helps people.
I agree with Cenk. I'm not arrogant enough to believe that this is the only planet in existence with life on it. Out of the trillions of rocks in space, there's got to be something out there. Not saying they're little green aliens. Just... something.
@salasmomonicesalas If you want to apply that thought, apply it properly to the limitation of thinking that God represents. A human myth to explain the world around them when there was no science, actually think about it.
@SchumiPython Yahweh is not portrayed as a very nice character in the Bible. In fact, if a human did even one of the acts committed by God---drowning the entire world/all his children except one family, commanding other tribes to be massacred, including women, innocent babies, unborns, and even cattle, etc.---that human would be worse than any terrible figure mankind has ever seen. Sounds negative to me. And I don't see how humans being capable of negativity makes them not trustworthy...
you're not putting you're faith in God, you're putting you're faith into what humans (2-3 thousands years ago) thought God was like.
just in bible you can find many contradictions on God's nature, so I'd stick to the scientists. They don't claim to be perfect and yet they make less mistakes then the perfect God
i have been waiting for this along time , now atheists will not askl the dumb questions " why God created this big universe for us only , no babies, there are creatures on other planets.and how great is God !!
I don't necessarily agree, Cenk. The chance of a life form developing in the course of millions of years is extremely slight. And this particular life form developed from the 'normal' life form based on Phosphorus, so it's basically only a sub-species.
However, I do agree it's not surprising that there are other life forms in California.
If Pokemon can be made out of rock I'll believe anything. But seriously life is going to have all kinds of crazy combos. Rock monster! I called it. When you discover it give me credit.
uuumm Certain lifeforms, with DNA, might be inclined to produce Arsenic but "Arsenic in it's DNA" is suggesting other elements can't exist within the lifeform. .... D:P
The only real reason that I have doubt that there's life on other planets is that we have no conclusive idea how life started on Earth is the first place. For all we know it could have been a 1 and 3 Sextillion thing for all of the conditions and chemical activity to come together in exactly the right way for this to happen.
@CrackeTheSkull The sheer vastness of the universe makes it practically impossible to ever count out the possibility of life on other planets, but I hear your point. Hopefully we'll be invaded by space-dinosaurs or something.
Given the size and composition of just the OBSERVABLE universe, it's almost 100% sure that extra terrestrial life exists.
It'd be inconceivable to think that the only existing life resides on our tiny and insignificant hunk of rock orbiting our insignificant and wholly unremarkable star in our wholly unremarkable and standard galaxy.
Look up the Drake Equation, it's limited and very basic, but also an educated guess that makes a lot of sense.
Still, to be the devils advocate, while there are about 8 billion people on Earth. There is still only "one, you"... Whos to say its not the same with life on Earth in regards to the universe.
Or maybe the universe is circular and life was a fluke, or maybe its so rare it only happens once pr hundred universe cycles for example.
What evidence of that is there? A 2000 year old book? That's not evidence, it's a cop out. If it's possible for God to have existed forever then why isn't it possible for there to be some sort of omnipresent non-intelligent force that triggered the big bang? There's still a lot of stuff to learn about the universe. Who knows what science will lead us to know in the coming decades. It's intellectual bankrupt to just say "God did it" for all the mysteries of the universe until we know for sure.
@FrogJon "If it's possible for God to have existed forever then why isn't it possible for there to be some sort of omnipresent non-intelligent force that triggered the big bang?" Or for that matter, why wouldn't it be possible for the cosmic dust of the universe to have always existed? And who's to say that the big bang that formed this universe was the first big bang? It is entirely possible that the big bang that created this universe obliterated a previous universe. Think about it.
I agree, I would have said what you mentioned as well but I wouldn't be able to include that in my comment due to the limit on characters. What it all comes down to is, we can guess all the answers to the big question but nobody actually KNOWS. That could change in the future, or maybe we'll never know. I'm okay with it either way. What I'm not okay with is people believing an unsupported conclusion to be the truth and dismissing any of the other countless possibilities.
I love science, but I'm also religious. They dont go against each other. Who stated all of this. Who created the big bang, who started everything? How does science answer that?!?!?
It's kinda funny how earthling's imaginations have been so channeled by their delusion of specialness. Any speculation that they are not the top of the pops must be met with ABSOLUTE evidence before it is grudgingly accepted . Yet when it came to atomic power they showed themselves perfectly happy to act based entirely on theory.
This reflex must be noted in any dealings with humans.
What's funny is this also reminds me of how the Star Fox 64 player's guide described the bird-like creatures that live in Solar, the sun in that game. It says that they have "highly advanced DNA" that enables them to live in those harsh conditions.
@Wildy1357 i think its because it was not written in the bible first DUH. I dont know how bad ur education is but let me share with u a little bit of truth. ANYTHING not written in the bible is false and should be disregarded at every turn. ur lucky we dont throw ppl like u who question Scripture off the side of the planet anymore
Technical flubs with the story's title- NASA didn't discover it directly. It was the USGS at Menlo Park which was funded by NASA, which isn't as good for this kind of research as a lot of California universities/facilities. If NASA did take credit it's kind of a faux pas for them.
Also it's not to say they found these bacteria already like this. They are able to survive on very low amounts of phosphorus which they were gradually weaned off and replaced with arsenic in a laboratory.
in an arsenic environment that is free of phosphorus it is just that. without phosphorus means an environment about which scientists would have said 1 year ago that no known life form can grow in that environment.
you underestimate those microbes, the fact is that dependig on the environment they can be both: arsenic based or phosphorus based. only one of these present, with the other one being absent, is acceptable for them. that makes them the first known arsenic based life.
I remember months ago seeing a show talking about how there could be other life forms in that lake. The reason is that lake has such extremely high acidity that no normal life could live in it. One theory is that proteans came on an asteroid that eventually became life. The theory states that multiple types of life could be on earth because of the massive amount of asteroids that hit earth in its early years. Watch "Through The Wormhole" episode "How did we get here" for what I'm talking about.
the authors claimed that the microbe, when starved of phosphorus, is capable of substituting arsenic for a small percentage of its phosphorus and sustain its growth.[2][3] Immediately after publication, other microbiologists and biochemists expressed doubt about this hypothesis, and the claim that this bacterium uses arsenic instead of phosphorus in its metabolism is robustly debated in the scientific community.

The Young Turks fail miserably every time I see them try to cover a science-related topic. The researches didn't find microbes "with arsenic in its DNA."
They found microbes with phosphorus in their DNA, put them in a phosphorus-poor environment (with arsenic), and allowed the cells to utilize arsenic where phosphorus would normally be found.
Try a simple wikipedia search next time, blow hard dipshit.

Cenk's just a little off on view of scientists on this subject. It's not that xenobiologists say that life has to be exactly like Earth. We just don't know enough about what other conditions could create some form of life to make informed guesses about how to find them. The fact that we look for Earth-like planets and places with liquid water is simply because that's the only example of places where life can evolve that we know of.

I don't necessarily agree, Cenk. The chance of a life form developing in the course of millions of years is extremely slight. And this particular life form developed from the 'normal' life form based on Phosphorus, so it's basically only a sub-species.
However, I do agree it's not surprising that there are other life forms in California.

Given the size and composition of just the OBSERVABLE universe, it's almost 100% sure that extra terrestrial life exists.
It'd be inconceivable to think that the only existing life resides on our tiny and insignificant hunk of rock orbiting our insignificant and wholly unremarkable star in our wholly unremarkable and standard galaxy.
Look up the Drake Equation, it's limited and very basic, but also an educated guess that makes a lot of sense.

What evidence of that is there? A 2000 year old book? That's not evidence, it's a cop out. If it's possible for God to have existed forever then why isn't it possible for there to be some sort of omnipresent non-intelligent force that triggered the big bang? There's still a lot of stuff to learn about the universe. Who knows what science will lead us to know in the coming decades. It's intellectual bankrupt to just say "God did it" for all the mysteries of the universe until we know for sure.

Also it's not to say they found these bacteria already like this. They are able to survive on very low amounts of phosphorus which they were gradually weaned off and replaced with arsenic in a laboratory.

I remember months ago seeing a show talking about how there could be other life forms in that lake. The reason is that lake has such extremely high acidity that no normal life could live in it. One theory is that proteans came on an asteroid that eventually became life. The theory states that multiple types of life could be on earth because of the massive amount of asteroids that hit earth in its early years. Watch "Through The Wormhole" episode "How did we get here" for what I'm talking about.
