      Uhm... how about "Oh no, it's wildfire!"?
      But really, degrading Dance to his role as Tywin when he did so much more in his career...

    Is simply a question of number: in our galaxy there are 250 billions of star, one out ten of them have planets and this mean 25 billions of solar system but only one out 100 of them have planet similar to our Earth and this mean 2.5 billions of Earth like planets. It's very difficult to argue that none of them have life maybe not intelligent life( while I think that someone MUST have ) but the life exist in our galaxy. If we think there are not less than 300 billions of Galaxies in our universe the mere possibilty of life is certain

    I think it's neat how the bands of light that make the "Sun's fingerprint" resembles the sheets of DNA sequence with all those dark little lines across them both.

    I think this is the closest we're gonna get of Charles Dance in something of Doctor Who.
    I loved Missy, but a wish the rumors of Charles Dance as the Master were true, he would've rock

    Can they show the next part so it actually relates to life on other planets and not just colors?

  • @aaronjames2062
    @aaronjames2062 Před 7 lety

    Surely if exo-planets are so far away, say 50 million light years then we are seeing them as they were 50 million years ago and because of that there is a chance the alien life has developed there since the 50 million years.(50 million years is just an example)

  • @xdev9538

    Aliens exist the universe is so big a grind of sand is the earth compared to every single beach is the universe that is the smality of earth and to think those trillions of planets near the sun wont have the write distance and heat to house other life tell me about the one Dalek who gave presents to little boys and girls.

    this didn't explain anything! just like the last video, you show the light-show and then not show the explanation of why this allows us to tell if there's life on other planets. if you just want us to see the lightshow, why call the video "Life On Other Planets? Let's Test!" it should have been called "light show with brian cox, after which we won't show you the science" ha-rumph.

      Just watch the actual show, it was really entertaining, I watched it when it came out. I don't know if, maybe its still on iPlayer or something?
