One of the arguments often invoked to make this case is that the physical constants of the Universe are (apparently) finely tuned to permit life. But cosmologist Denis Sciama presented a thought-provoking analysis of this line of thought and suggested it might be possible to even test intelligent design. Join us today as we explore this fascinating concept.Written & presented by David Kipping, edited by Jorge Casas→ Support our research: https://www.coolworldslab.com/support→ Get merch: https://crowdmade.com/collections/cool-worlds→ Check out our podcast: www.youtube.com/@CoolWorldsPodcastTHANK-YOU to D.

How fast are you moving? Remarkably you are moving, by some definitions, around a million miles per hour. But, why don't we feel this motion? Is this speed useful in some way? And what does the question of speed really even mean? Join us today as Cool Worlds explores our motion through space.

NSF Graduate Fellow Alex Teachey of the Cool Worlds Lab explains our new paper which devises a method to cloak entire planets from extraterrestrial civilizations! This was a really fun little paper which started out from the idea of how to broadcast or signal our presence, but as we worked on it we realized it could also be used a cloaking device too. As always, ask us your questions in the comments below and we'll get back to you!::More about this Video::► Kipping & Teachey (2016): "A Cloaking Device for Transiting Planets" http://arxiv.org/abs/1603.08928► BBC article on Stephen Hawking's comments about avoiding alien contact: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8642558.stm► Outro music by Taylor Davis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl9kI1yQKZk::Playlists For Channel::Latest Cool Worlds Videos ► http://bit.ly/NewCoolWorldsCool Worlds Research ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsResearchGuest Videos ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsGuestsQ&A Videos ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsQAScience of TV/Film ► http://bit.ly/ScienceMovies::Follow us::SUBSCRIBE to the channel http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsSubscribeCool Worlds Lab http://coolworlds.astro.columbia.eduTwitter https://twitter.com/david_kippingInstagram https://www.instagram.com/cool.worldsTHANKS FOR WATCHING!!

Twelve years ago, NASA predicted around 50 Earth-like planets would be discovered by the Kepler telescope, planets with the same size, warmth and host star as we do. And yet, we're left essentially none. What happened? Why did those predictions not match reality? And what can we learn from these 50 lost dreams...Written & presented by Prof David Kipping→ Support our research program: https://www.coolworldslab.com/support→ Get Stash here! https://teespring.com/stores/cool-worlds-storeTHANK-YOU to our supporters D.

After discovering thousands of planetary systems orbiting other stars, we are finally at a point where we can start looking at the patterns we see to hopefully understand how they formed. But hold the phone - because maybe the configurations we see are nothing but purely random. Dynamical evolution tends to disorder initially pristine systems, so do planets even still remember how they formed? Is the ordered nature of the Solar System typical or rare? This week we dive into these questions by discussing a new research paper by Prof Kipping on the topic.::More about this Video::► Kipping (2017), "Do planets remember how they formed?": https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.04987► GitHub repo of the microstate visualizations: https://github.com/CoolWorlds/exoinformatics► Cake number: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cake_number► Eulerian number: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eulerian_number► Kepler Orrey by Dan Fabrycky: http://astro.uchicago.edu/~fabrycky/kepler/► Columbia University Department of Astronomy: http://www.astro.columbia.edu► Cool Worlds Lab website: http://coolworlds.astro.columbia.edu► Outro music by 8-bit Universe "Harder Better Faster Stronger [8 Bit Cover Tribute to Daft Punk]": https://8bituniverse.bandcamp.com/track/harder-better-faster-stronger-8-bit-tribute-to-daft-punk::Playlists For Channel::Latest Cool Worlds Videos ► http://bit.ly/NewCoolWorldsCool Worlds Research ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsResearchGuest Videos ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsGuestsQ&A Videos ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsQATabby's Star ► http://bit.ly/TabbysStarScience of TV/Film ► http://bit.ly/ScienceMovies::Follow us::SUBSCRIBE to the channel http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsSubscribeCool Worlds Lab http://coolworlds.astro.columbia.eduTwitter https://twitter.com/david_kippingInstagram https://www.instagram.com/cool.worldsTHANKS FOR WATCHING!!
