National Geographic Live! - Kevin Hand: Exploring Alien Oceans

[CocoaLuv22]

i thought i was the only person who had that 'our universe' book! it was actually really good.. i might just have to go to ebay 4 that one

[TaePoDongIII]

We need Mass Effect aliens.  Hell just call the Reapers over here I'm bored as hell.

[majer75]

didnt we discouver a micro orginism that was based on arsinc

[LegendJ0e4]

Kids that saying this is science, the youtube channel is NationalGeographic geography not fucking science LOOOL

[jellehenk]

@LegendJ0e4 *facepalm*

[drummer9042]

@LegendJ0e4 really dude?

[ChangeTheirMinds]

You would expect people who are subscribed to this channel to have at least an ounce of intelligence, not immature little brats who think its funny to say the new word they just learnt on the playground.

[hackneykidd]

Loved it

[JanisdEhun]

funny

[mohannad636]

please dont git any aline stuff to earth i dont want them to eat me alive o.0

[vinsong]

faggots. Yummy sht.

[HerEyesWereWild]

Fascinating stuff. I wish he had gone into more detail on it!

[KBno14]

feel like i'm at uni

[mistajacks]

The need to post the entire presentation. This discussion is great.

[TheForbes44]

facsinating!!

[XmojotronX]

some theorist say that ufos are actually advance and evolved humanoid beings from the future that are capable of time travel.

[XxModernDayRaiderxX]

theres 1000000000000 planets out there what idiot thinks were the only ones?

[rohontsiawaks]

It wouldnt suprise me if one of those probes weve got out there ends up snapping a picture of some type of plant life on another world.

[theneeg]

Scientists are surprisingly closed-minded when it comes to what is "habitable". Water is a substance needed for life on OUR planet. It is simply a compound of elements that was abundant here so organisms started to evolve based on that. Whos to say the same thing couldnt happen with a different element on some other planet.

[HerEyesWereWild]

@theneeg True, but it does seem more likely that life would evolve in a stable and abundant fluid. Water is one we now has spawned life before, but there are other similar substances, like hydrocarbon lakes etc.

[EatMangos]

@theneeg Do you know what science is about? It's about extending theory from what we know. You can't simply speculate because there's no proof against it. It's like saying that a god exists because you can't disprove it. Until there is any evidence that life can be sustained without water (or on another life form that /is/ dependent on water), scientists will (and should) not even humor such theories.

[theneeg]

@EatMangos actually science is not just about expanding what we already know... science can be based on things that we had no idea about and there are hundreds of obvious examples of this if you thought about it..

[MuayThai4Llfe]

@theneeg What would the be built from and get all protein? Would they just be some flying Iron mass? You have to think why we are in this world.. because It's the only way to evolve as organisms and then evolving. They have a lot in their mind when they all saying that.. please.. It's not like their getting to extreme elementals with 5 protons and 3 electrons.

If they were other "Aliens" I think they would be just like us. Humankind

[theneeg]

@MuayThai4Llfe "NASA has indeed uncovered an entirely new life form on our planet that "doesn't share the biological building blocks of anything currently living" on Earth."

It seems my theory is indeed possible. Look it up.

[MuayThai4Llfe]

@theneeg Ofc that one. But actually NASA known it for a longer time and they know why it evolved that way. It just went viral in that way. And the newspaper is ofc making a lot of money.

[theneeg]

@theneeg Google search- Arsenic based microbes for an example of exactly what I'm talking about, for those who thought it was a ludicrous idea..

[1JustinBurkett1]

Pfft.. Exploring Alien oceans? Why? So we can destroy something else before we come to understand its full beneficial properties. The cure for cancer could be in the forest in my backyard and as we speak it's being chopped down for some corporate bombardment. Not to mention what we've done to our worlds waterways already. Call me when you find a habitable planet that locks the doors to such viral ignorance.

[hellboy221345]

that was very interesting

[McC1oudv2]

I was first actually

[ChrisTheBest1992]

All is a plan from the american government,let us not fall to his trap...

[MrDeidert]

Call me a fool but I really think the only way our species will not destroy itself is if we come in contact with a more advance Alien race to tell us how stupid we are acting...

[IllegalAlien1]

@MrDeidert No way. As soon as we ran into a more advanced spiecies out in space it would not try to help us out. We would try to fight it probably right away. We don't get alone with each other for small differences like skin tone and nationality. If we ran into a creature with an entirely different evolutionary history it would kill us all for its own safty and it would be right to.

[MuayThai4Llfe]

@MrDeidert I dont think they would be so advanced really. If so they would have contacted us somehow and they also have to live under same physic circumstances as us..

[eirho11]

@MrDeidert The day the earth stood still...

[DeathsWill228]

@MrDeidert If we dont tear our selves apart at the contact, then I agree.

[TheMatias2]

This is very interesting! I hope I can live to see something like that!

[TheZombiebeaver]

lol arthur c clarke wrote about this 14 years ago



[djbarratt]

AT LAST!!! An intelligent video, not the childish crap we've been getting recently.

[WakingLife55]

I cant believe all these little kids even commented on this video, I cant imagine how much time you people waste calling each other fags on a scientific channel -_-

[narezul]

@WakingLife55 seriously, wouldnt you expect discussins and rational arguments? but its youtube and mommy and daddy dont want to be bothered with the pile of trash they made so go online and vent your lonliness and anguish and show everyone what a shit bag youve been taught to act like

[dreicemoney]

find the aliens already, this is boring

[xJean2010yuhh]

If you press 7 repeatedly it sounds like he's farting :]

[XxFiNaLFanTasYxX01]

i kinda want that book hes talking about^^

[AnubisEye009]

I used to make gay and gender jokes all the time when I was in the 3rd grade. lol

[WingedSoulies]

youtube?

troll magnet

only immature people do that

they needa be left alone or put down

[WingedSoulies]

Also, republicans dont care bout this

lmfao:fact

sad? a bit

[yosobro2140]

The 2 top comments are gay

[Adawg4008]

lots of fags under me

[rath223]

wow thats quite amazing

[ILikeWeatherGuy]

very cool! :) i wannt that answer to that question too

[Beachybeaches]

And by then i shall be a zoologist travelling space to categorize these bizarrely wonderful species

[MujakiKid]

So cool! I hope we find some form of life eventually! Those moons always make me think of the show Cowboy Bebop where the whole solar system had colonies and Ganymede was like a water city!

[doomers100]

lol you think opening a jar is alien -.-

[qwertman99]

Its penut butter jelly time.

[soraianakib]

Fascinating!



[chris850t]

So crazy!

[Beachybeaches]

I like fish too

[vangbro920]

cool man...

[thaGkillah]

i like fish... mhhh yum

[k2wax]

@TheRsm1k3 You deserve a cookie

[x15Lovex]

so many fags below me...

seriously this is a scientific channel...shouldn't we have more curiosity for the science rather than behave like lil kids...?

[WingedSoulies]

@x15Lovex n ur callin somone a fag?

whos a lil kid?

the one who tries to insult others? or the ones that dont have interest in science

STFU N GTFO UR HIGH CHAIR

[x15Lovex]

@WingedSoulies

how old r u? 13? 14? geez

how do u know i have no interest in science? i happen to major in microbiology and psychology thank you very much.

[93mystic]

@x15Lovex True that.

[faiz434]

@x15Lovex Welcome to the internet hahaha.

[vipnon1965]

I think life can survive at boundless levels. I bet in the vacuum of space creatures do survive like they do in the deep of our oceans. Life has evolved in so many forms that are still amazing us.

[MrSpockZilla1]

You have got to be kidding me. This guy is talking about life on other worlds and the only thing people truly care about on here is who is the first to fucking comment and who's a "fag". Do you even know how incredibly pointless that is? The human race is doomed. This information is pointless anyways. Humans spend more time and money on killing and ripping each other off than exploring life from other worlds. Dumbass race.

[faab007]

@MrSpockZilla1 Thankfully the people yelling first here are not the scientist working on these projects

[elmalacopa]

@MrSpockZilla1 WELL SAID

[XRenkoX]

@MrSpockZilla1 thanks for enforcing the very idea your trying to battle. talk about hope and inspiration and battling evil and destroying the dumb ass race through the grace of your own words and thoughts.

[agahajak]

@MrSpockZilla1 umad

[agahajak]

@MrSpockZilla1 umadfag?

[Mauromoustakos]

@MrSpockZilla1

These are not humanity. These are the users of youtube. It would have been a great mistake to judge humanity from the users of youtube.

And it is an equally big mistake to talk for humanity as if there are no political, economic, ideological and historical differences.

But let's see some interesting videos. Let us read some books.

-.

[Adawg4008]

@MrSpockZilla1 fag

[MrSpockZilla1]

@Adawg4008

It's a pleasure knowing your life won't amount to anything. But keep on trolling.

[Dinoboy05]

@Adawg4008 idiot

[jkl1234567890]

@MrSpockZilla1 lmao you are doing exactly what you hate: ripping on others

[NewOrleansboii]

@MrSpockZilla1 Homo Sapiens are doing quite well.. If it was any other species, the habitat would have possibly be destroyed by now.

[MrSpockZilla1]

@NewOrleansboii

You're thinking we had technology to stop forest fires beyond 200 years ago.

[newf360]

@MrSpockZilla1 You are completely right. With so many idiots in this world and the way things are going the humane race doesn't stand a chance.

[xJean2010yuhh]

@MrSpockZilla1 QQ

[Spec0pps117]

@MrSpockZilla1 I wouldn't be so cynical, don't worry, natural selection will kill off the weak and the stupid soon enough...

[narezul]

@MrSpockZilla1 evolution takes time. try to forgive the monkeys and do your best to ignore them. i fail all the time

[Jumpyaisback]

@MrSpockZilla1 dumbass race like your face! HAHAHAHAHAHA p.s your gay

[MrSpockZilla1]

@Jumpyaisback

Figures... because even if I was a homosexual that somehow would be wrong? You're a prime example.

[Jumpyaisback]

@MrSpockZilla1 nah dw just trolling had to reply something stupid also yes you have a valid point

[oriocoookie]

@MrSpockZilla1 ok ... lets help make it better ... any suggestions?

[MrSpockZilla1]

@oriocoookie

Too many suggestions to count. My suggestions have already been suggested by people more powerful than I.

[oriocoookie]

@MrSpockZilla1 power is in numbers .... spread the word .. ideas cannot be killed

[61third]

@MrSpockZilla1

what a dumbass.. humans are not a race were a species fucking idiot.

[MrSpockZilla1]

@61third

I hope you don't breed, wow...

[61third]

@MrSpockZilla1

I hope you go back to school and learn to spell.

[MrFlex1080]

@61third The point he is stating has nothing to do with his spelling. And the comment he has written contains no obvious spelling errors. So chill the fuck out.

[61third]

@MrFlex1080 you have no confidence in the human species.. IN order for humans to flourish. Billions have to die.

[DarthScosha]

@MrSpockZilla1 How is the human race doomed ? Sorry, i just wanna know ur point of view ?

[MrSpockZilla1]

@DarthScosha

My point of view is irrelevant. How is the human race doomed? I keep trying to type up something but every time I do it branches off into 20 different things. I have no words to begin. 

[linenlines]

@MrSpockZilla1 very true

humans are selfish

only after 2000 years are we learning killing eachother might be a bad thing

discovery is second priority

money controls the politicals

politcals control the people

[Hollow9Tail]

@linenlines 2000 years? there are more human history than just 2000 years...

[Hollow9Tail]

@linenlines but u got a point :P

[linenlines]

@Hollow9Tail =)

[drummer9042]

@MrSpockZilla1 You have no idea how much i agree with that haha

[lxamitxl]

love this channel.

[Hortgeek]

I don't think I want all these fags under me.

[GhostRider222]

Why would we be interested into 'Alien oceans' when we haven't explored even 1% of our own oceans?

[hellagunner1]

@GhostRider222 you find a way to survive the deadly pressure :3

[GhostRider222]

@hellagunner1 There has been an expedition around the middle of 20th century in the marianas trench. They didnt get to the bottom but a good 9-10 thousand kilometers. We have times better technology now and its not that hard to survive he deadly pressure.

[tellme32]

@GhostRider222 we've explored more than 1%... lol

[GhostRider222]

@tellme32 I think you don't realize that most of the ocean life is under 200m of depth, where we haven't been nearly as much as in the upper parts. Inform yourself, every time scientists go to a goddamned rainforest they stumble upon an abundance of new species. The ocean is just as that, but millions of times bigger. Actually, most species live under the water. So no, not even 1%

[faab007]

@GhostRider222 What makes you say there is more life 200m beneath the ocean surface? source?

[GhostRider222]

@faab007 Facts?

[MasterAsra]

@GhostRider222 There isn't actually all THAT much life that far below the surface. Scientists find a lot of new species, but nowhere near as many as in the Rainforest. It's too alien and there isn't enough light or food for life to thrive most of the time.

It's useful, but eh. In the end, finding life on another world would prove a lot more to the world than finding a new kind of boneless blobfish or glow in the dark squid. Not that deep sea exploration isn't as expensive.

[MasterAsra]

@MasterAsra Err important, not expensive. Also the only reason we don't know how many planets are in the solar system is because the words used for "planet" are incredibly loose. In many older definitions, most of the largest asteroids would count as one. It's always been a pick-and-choose thing to the scientific community, which is why the term exo-planets are used so much in our solar system.

[GhostRider222]

@MasterAsra Actually it's mostly because we cant see shit past Pluto.

[MasterAsra]

@GhostRider222 We've detected a lot of "exo-planets" past Pluto. At least one is larger than pluto, but they all seem to be basically like Pluto in that they are all small, lifeless rocks. Which is to be expected at that distance.

[GhostRider222]

@MasterAsra Ever heard of chemosynthesis and the abundance of life around hydrothermal vents at the sea floor(which aren't that rare)? There's an underwater laboratory somewhere and its one of its kindSince scientists have it easier for diving sessions and studying, they find a new species every time they go out. And that's just one. You need less finances to go to a rainforest and be there for weeks/months and do studies. And besides, nothing tells me I shouldn't believe my professor in the uni

[melrobRTF]

@GhostRider222 why not?

[GhostRider222]

@melrobRTF Cool story bro. We dont even know how many planets there are in the solar system.

[CysticJI24]

Why do they focus on water in other worlds when there is so much more to explore here
