How We Found Tatooine - Laurance Doyle (SETI Talks)

In this talk, Dr. Laraunce Doyle talks about how he led the Kepler team that discovered the Kepler-16b circumbinary planet.
He also discusses several techniques for the detection of circumbinary planets (CBP, planets that circle two stars at once). This involves detection by transits (which in the case of CBP produce a quasi-periodic signal), eclipsing binary (EB) timing, dynamical timing of EBs, and a new detection technique called the "eclipse echo" EE method. With all these acronyms the detection of CBP around EBs with the EE method should make NASA happy. : )

The graphics were outstandingly COOL! and the talk was very interesting . . . Keep up the good work!

I am kind of tired of people saying life could not exist where the environment changes too rapidly like temperatures. Why the hell not? seems evolution can allow almost any kind of adjustment.

Great talk, pity the footage of Laurance froze during it although the editors did try to work around that.

Yeah. Great talk! Don't bother me much that there were almost no video of Dr. Laraunce Doyle. The audio, the animations and the video clips are by far the most important part of a SETI-talk.
Hope the audio problems from 2011 now is sorted out for good. (ok sound this talk)
Thanx for upload and i wish you all the best for 2012.
