Kepler Worlds - Jon Jenkins (Science Shorts)

SETI Talks Archive: http://seti.org/talks

This is a "Science Shorts" version of Jon Jenkins talk on the Kepler Mission.

The Kepler Mission began its science observations just one year ago on March 12, 2009, initiating NASA's first search for Earth-like planets. Initial results and light curves from Kepler are simply breath-taking, and they reveal as much about the instrument as they do about the stars Kepler observes. Dr Jenkins will discuss how much we've learned over the past year about the instrument and the stars and how we are modifying the Science Pipeline to reveal small Earth-like planets.

Exactly how do we go about "looking into the spiritual realm"? I'm asking because I'm interested. While we're at it, what is the spiritual realm? There's been a lot of talk about it for our entire written history but I know of no evidence to support its existence. I think that IR and other optical technologies are our best bet, to be honest. Even then the odds are stacked against us.

sure lets spend a few million dollars on dream catchers and spirit stones. If you miss my sarcasm - in my opinion such things do not belong in science.

Nice inference captain obvious.
