Downvotes are for the stupid "life on an exoplanet" click baity bullshit.
And if she implied it at all, then I never want to hear her dumb ass say another word, and she should have whatever creds stripped.
Right, so you didn’t watch the video … it’s about the paper that’s getting so much media attention and why most in the scientific community don’t think much of it and what challenges to the initial paper have been made in subsequent publications.
The video is solely about published work, by a publishing and working scientist, and not at all some mainstream media stuff.
Gotta say, at some point, if downvoters are operating at such a superficial level, their reason for existing basically disappears. Like an AI would have done a better job here. The quality of the video is precisely because it nicely dispels whatever media hype might be out there.
Dr Becky is an actual astrophysicist (PhD) and her content is great and based on a thorough analysis of published science. Maybe watch the video first next time ?
I'm gonna be honest man, you seem like you would be a chore to be around in real life
