    This is great! Thank you. My students ask me sometimes, if I believe in aliens. I always say, "Yes. But I just don't think they've been here." I used to love Ancient Aliens, but then I became a historian and realized that we just don't give ancient cultures enough credit. I have often wondered, "What if we are just the first one that's risen? Or what if intelligence only arises once in a million years?" It's a little depressing and reminds me of the movie As Good As it Gets. What if we are as good as it gets? But then I think, we've only searched such a small portion of the sky. Once scientist I in an interview with Neil Degrasse Tyson, said that of the sky, we have only searched the equivalent of a glass of sea water. You can't look at a glass of sea water and say that fish don't exist. Definitely something to wonder about. And be hopeful about.

      ..."you didn't fail, Dad. You proved that we're all we've GOT." I actually think that is the opposite of depressing

      Unfortunately due to the unimaginably large distances in our Universe and its constant expansion, till we can achieve faster than light travel (FTL), we're going nowhere fast, and will be stuck here forever in our little solar system prison. It's sad but true.
      Trying to explore the Universe beyond our solar system using relatively primitive chemical rockets, is like the famous quote by Albert Einstein "The definition of insanity is keep doing the same thing over and over again, while expecting different results". 😆

    I took an astrobiology course in college and did a presentation on the meteor 'fossils' found discussed in this video. Microscopic balls of aligned iron were noticed, which are similar to Magnetotactic bacteria found on earth. Some organisms use magnetic material to orient and migrate along geomagnetic field lines. Using this mechanism they are able to find optimal oxygen gradients in the soil to thrive.

    One note - the "solidified core" theory for Mars has been largely abandoned because the data we now have shows it isn't. Seismology data from the InSight lander has determined that it has a fully liquid core that is much less dense than Earth's core. There is still a lot of research being done on the subject, but the current theory for why Mars had a magnetic field and lost it, based on extreme temperature and pressure experiments using the data from InSight, is a different dynamo mechanism. The iron-sulfur-hydrogen mix of Mars' core originally was mixing and creating a dynamo by circulation, but it eventually settled into layers of high sulfur and low sulfur concentrations. By stratifying, the core of Mars no longer has the circulation to make a dynamo.
    Earth's core by contrast has more iron, and less sulfur and hydrogen and it's divided into an inner and outer core. The inner core is solid and helps maintain the dynamo in 3 major ways. The first is by the rotation of the inner core (which is currently slowing in a long-scale cycle it's gone through before), the second is heat convection between the inner and outer core, and the third is the confining of the outer core into a shell that constrains its flow.
    For anyone wondering why we believe Mars once had a magnetic field - ferrous igneous rock is magnetized when it forms in a magnetic field, and much like similar rock formations on Earth, the oldest Mars rock is similarly magnetized in a sort of "fossilized magnetic field" that even gives some details about the structure of the field. This is the same sort of "fossilized magnetic field" that lead researchers to realize the Earth's magnetic field reverses periodically.

    if you are reading this, take a deep breath. Inhale deeply, exhale deeply. Close your eyes and visualise yourself finishing your work, getting the grades you desire, getting to summer and not being worried, visualise what you want, visualise relaxation and hope. It will be okay, you will pass, you have been putting work in, the fact that you chose to listen to this shows you care enough to take the first step to concentrate. You can do it. Say "I can do it." Don't be so hard on yourself, we all hustle, and we all want to be successful, but only those who work hard will get there. It is up to you to see in what end you will be, it is all up to you, and it will always be your choice.
    Choose wisely,
    I do love you though, I love you because you have a heart. I love you because we are alive together. I understand your fear to start, your fear to be successful, your fear to be your best. But don't be afraid, you deserve everything you want because that is what is so great about being human. We can get it if we look for it, we can manifest it. Believe in yourself. Take breaks, deep breaths, take it slow, enjoy the process, don't see it as a burden. If you have the privilege of dreaming, then make your way toward it.

    Regarding Gobekli Tepe, don’t forget that it may be dated at over 10,000 years old, but we don’t know how long ago it was actually built.

It's far, far older and changed dramatically over the thousands of years from what we popularly understand.

      @@M_Sebu I appreciate your interest in the subject :) Unfortunately, I’m unsure of what you’re asking haha To biologists some words carry highly specific meanings and implications. For example, the simple use of the word “life”. Along with that comes the implication that the organism can carry out its own set of metabolic reactions, and replicate itself, along with many other things. Viruses cannot do this. Therefore we do not expressly include them as living organisms although I would argue that while in a cell which it’s hijacked it’s cellular machinery to replicate itself, it is indeed using the cell as a living extension of its genetic program which is perhaps what you were proposing. Keep in mind tho, that host cell is desperately fighting to get rid of the virus or to kill itself to prevent it from replicating. If you guessed viruses are really good at shutting down a cells ability to kill itself then you’d be right :)
      It goes from a simple piece of chemical genetic material to completely rewriting the metabolic programs of the cells they infect. Otherwise, viruses really are just physics, chemistry, and Darwinian evolution

    These questions of "where is everyone" and "are we alone?" always lead me to the conclusion that we should treat the Earth as unique, life on it as one of kind, and do everything we can to protect it. That means becoming multiplanetary, and bringing as much life along with us as we can, and spread it as far as possible. We very well could be the only intelligent life in the entire galaxy and we're the only species on this planet that can leave it. We have a responsibility.

      Yeah I don't see why it gets treated as beyond arbitrary. Many features of 'life' can be found in fluid and gas dynamics or even geological errosion for example but not all at once. So really its just a sliding scale between what appears what better fits our defintion and what doesn't, when in fact they're just chunks within the same soup of energy and matter. If living organisms must exchange with their environment (consumption,excretion) , then they are effectively not separate and distinct, but instead could be descibed as a kind of complex in the environment through which energy travels in a highly evolved way.
