- Subtitles by explosiveskull
- 2
- 00:01:40,273 --> 00:01:40,707
- Mmm.
- 3
- 00:01:48,749 --> 00:01:50,385
- Sorry.
- 4
- 00:01:52,654 --> 00:01:54,654
- Uh, yesterday,
- 5
- 00:01:54,656 --> 00:01:56,658
- we were talking
- about the, um...
- 6
- 00:01:58,461 --> 00:01:59,629
- The Fermi paradox.
- 7
- 00:02:02,230 --> 00:02:05,466
- Right, the Fermi paradox.
- 8
- 00:02:05,468 --> 00:02:07,768
- Worse.
- 9
- 00:02:07,770 --> 00:02:10,604
- The, uh contradiction of having
- a high probability
- 10
- 00:02:10,606 --> 00:02:13,640
- of life existing elsewhere
- in the universe
- 11
- 00:02:13,642 --> 00:02:16,680
- while having no actual evidence
- to prove it.
- 12
- 00:02:18,748 --> 00:02:21,150
- The Drake equation.
- 13
- 00:02:21,152 --> 00:02:25,756
- It gives us every reason to believe
- that life should be common in our galaxy
- 14
- 00:02:27,758 --> 00:02:29,226
- Exciting right?
- 15
- 00:02:30,695 --> 00:02:32,862
- So why haven't
- we found anything?
- 16
- 00:02:32,864 --> 00:02:36,665
- Over 100 billion stars
- in the Milky Way,
- 17
- 00:02:36,667 --> 00:02:38,534
- the vast majority
- of which host planets,
- 18
- 00:02:38,536 --> 00:02:40,836
- many of those planets
- capable of supporting life
- 19
- 00:02:40,838 --> 00:02:44,077
- and still we have
- found nothing.
- 20
- 00:02:45,310 --> 00:02:48,746
- No sign of anyone
- or anything else.
- 21
- 00:02:48,748 --> 00:02:51,385
- And believe me, we're looking.
- 22
- 00:02:54,255 --> 00:02:59,158
- Night after night, after night,
- we're staring up at the sky,
- 23
- 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,893
- burying ourselves
- in mountains of data.
- 24
- 00:03:01,895 --> 00:03:05,699
- All because we know one day,
- we will crack this thing.
- 25
- 00:03:07,602 --> 00:03:08,771
- And if we don't,
- 26
- 00:03:10,704 --> 00:03:12,471
- you will right?
- 27
- 00:03:15,509 --> 00:03:17,209
- Yeah, go ahead.
- 28
- 00:03:17,211 --> 00:03:18,878
- Didn't NASA predict
- 29
- 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,882
- we'll find evidence life exists
- beyond Earth within the next decade?
- 30
- 00:03:21,884 --> 00:03:23,483
- After you've been
- in this field a while
- 31
- 00:03:23,485 --> 00:03:25,818
- you'll learn to take predictions
- with a grain of salt.
- 32
- 00:03:25,820 --> 00:03:28,621
- But the game is changing though.
- 33
- 00:03:28,623 --> 00:03:31,659
- The TESS and James Webb
- telescopes launch soon,
- 34
- 00:03:31,661 --> 00:03:34,231
- we'll stand a much better shot at finding
- something. It just seems like you...
- 35
- 00:03:37,401 --> 00:03:40,438
- Please. Don't stop.
- This is getting interesting.
- 36
- 00:03:41,305 --> 00:03:42,705
- If you're frustrated
- 37
- 00:03:42,707 --> 00:03:45,408
- that you personally
- haven't found anything,
- 38
- 00:03:45,410 --> 00:03:47,646
- then maybe it's pointless
- for you to keep looking.
- 39
- 00:03:48,646 --> 00:03:49,979
- Hmm.
- 40
- 00:03:49,981 --> 00:03:52,548
- I'm curious, is that a fact
- or just your opinion?
- 41
- 00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:53,817
- Look, I just think...
- 42
- 00:03:53,819 --> 00:03:54,985
- - You think. So it's your opinion.
- - Yeah.
- 43
- 00:03:54,987 --> 00:03:59,289
- If you feel this is a
- dead end that wastes your time,
- 44
- 00:03:59,291 --> 00:04:01,692
- might as well do other things.
- 45
- 00:04:01,694 --> 00:04:04,461
- What other things could be
- more important to humanity
- 46
- 00:04:04,463 --> 00:04:06,763
- than answering the question,
- "Are we alone?"
- 47
- 00:04:06,765 --> 00:04:08,636
- Uh, reproduction?
- 48
- 00:04:09,501 --> 00:04:11,771
- Or like, love, even?
- 49
- 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,576
- Love? That's pretty good.
- 50
- 00:04:17,009 --> 00:04:18,410
- Remind me of your name.
- 51
- 00:04:18,412 --> 00:04:19,578
- Kiefer.
- 52
- 00:04:19,580 --> 00:04:21,513
- Nice, Kiefer.
- 53
- 00:04:21,515 --> 00:04:22,950
- Uh, you're seeing
- anyone, Kiefer?
- 54
- 00:04:25,486 --> 00:04:26,819
- - No not really.
- - Hmm.
- 55
- 00:04:26,821 --> 00:04:29,788
- Okay. Why don't we do
- what scientists do?
- 56
- 00:04:29,790 --> 00:04:30,959
- Let's take a look
- at the data.
- 57
- 00:04:34,795 --> 00:04:38,697
- All right.
- L is the value of love.
- 58
- 00:04:38,699 --> 00:04:43,506
- Now, we have 250 students
- in this class, or...
- 59
- 00:04:44,573 --> 00:04:47,974
- At least,
- enrolled in this class.
- 60
- 00:04:47,976 --> 00:04:52,380
- Four out of every five of you
- statistically will get married.
- 61
- 00:04:52,382 --> 00:04:54,850
- So, that's 200 students married.
- 62
- 00:04:54,852 --> 00:04:59,788
- Now last year we learned that
- two out of five marriages
- 63
- 00:04:59,790 --> 00:05:01,555
- will end in divorce.
- 64
- 00:05:01,557 --> 00:05:05,895
- Which gives us 120.
- 65
- 00:05:05,897 --> 00:05:09,832
- One hundred and twenty of you who
- will fall in love and stay married.
- 66
- 00:05:09,834 --> 00:05:11,967
- That's less than
- half the people in this class.
- 67
- 00:05:11,969 --> 00:05:13,503
- But that's just marriage.
- 68
- 00:05:13,505 --> 00:05:15,671
- You're absolutely right.
- Let's talk about the 85%
- 69
- 00:05:15,673 --> 00:05:17,306
- of relationships
- that end in break-ups.
- 70
- 00:05:17,308 --> 00:05:21,511
- Or the 20% of breakups that lead to
- depression, or the 3% that lead to suicide.
- 71
- 00:05:21,513 --> 00:05:23,913
- Well, wait. Let's talk
- about the 56% of people
- 72
- 00:05:23,915 --> 00:05:26,583
- who admit to a history of
- infidelity in their relationship.
- 73
- 00:05:26,585 --> 00:05:28,585
- Those are just
- random statistics,
- 74
- 00:05:28,587 --> 00:05:29,921
- they don't actually
- prove anything.
- 75
- 00:05:29,923 --> 00:05:31,391
- Proof?
- 76
- 00:05:32,793 --> 00:05:34,459
- Good.
- 77
- 00:05:34,461 --> 00:05:36,631
- I wanna ask you guys something.
- And be honest.
- 78
- 00:05:38,398 --> 00:05:41,035
- Raise your hand if you've
- ever been hurt by love.
- 79
- 00:06:02,523 --> 00:06:04,091
- Plug values into
- the Drake Equation,
- 80
- 00:06:04,093 --> 00:06:07,594
- we'll sure as hell get a
- number higher than zero.
- 81
- 00:06:07,596 --> 00:06:10,000
- You get to choose what you
- waste your time on, Kiefer.
- 82
- 00:06:11,935 --> 00:06:13,870
- Outer space
- is a safer bet.
- 83
- 00:06:15,538 --> 00:06:16,674
- Is that a fact?
- 84
- 00:06:20,910 --> 00:06:22,810
- Excuse me?
- 85
- 00:06:22,812 --> 00:06:25,581
- Is that a fact or is that
- just your opinion?
- 86
- 00:06:27,984 --> 00:06:29,622
- It's an educated opinion.
- 87
- 00:06:32,923 --> 00:06:35,327
- Let's open up
- our books to page 237.
- 88
- 00:06:59,952 --> 00:07:03,120
- I was reading this article
- online about life hacks.
- 89
- 00:07:03,122 --> 00:07:05,724
- I read one that says
- increase productivity
- 90
- 00:07:05,726 --> 00:07:09,561
- and maximize your health with a
- 30-minute bike ride every morning.
- 91
- 00:07:09,563 --> 00:07:11,097
- I'm like, that's not
- a life hack.
- 92
- 00:07:11,099 --> 00:07:13,465
- That's just something
- you can do.
- 93
- 00:07:13,467 --> 00:07:14,469
- Just exercise.
- 94
- 00:07:17,773 --> 00:07:20,473
- Hey, those aren't images
- from the galactic center.
- 95
- 00:07:20,475 --> 00:07:22,141
- Nope.
- 96
- 00:07:22,143 --> 00:07:25,545
- Isaac, you can't be shifting the
- telescope to fish for Earth masses.
- 97
- 00:07:25,547 --> 00:07:27,747
- This is your advisor's
- grant money, not yours.
- 98
- 00:07:27,749 --> 00:07:29,683
- - Switch it back.
- - I did. Relax.
- 99
- 00:07:29,685 --> 00:07:31,051
- It's still there.
- Switch it back, please.
- 100
- 00:07:31,053 --> 00:07:33,154
- I don't... Is that time stream
- data transferred yet?
- 101
- 00:07:33,156 --> 00:07:36,190
- It says one minute.
- 102
- 00:07:36,192 --> 00:07:38,726
- I don't know why you can't just wait for
- the TESS to launch like everyone else.
- 103
- 00:07:38,728 --> 00:07:40,828
- I'm just getting a head start.
- 104
- 00:07:40,830 --> 00:07:44,165
- While every citizen scientist
- and their dog wait for that data,
- 105
- 00:07:44,167 --> 00:07:47,235
- I can actually be looking for
- a habitable planet.
- 106
- 00:07:47,237 --> 00:07:49,672
- Come on, you're telling me
- you just want to be another guy
- 107
- 00:07:49,674 --> 00:07:53,008
- sitting at home looking at
- TESS data in your underwear?
- 108
- 00:07:53,010 --> 00:07:56,111
- Actually, yes.
- That's a life-hack.
- 109
- 00:07:56,113 --> 00:07:57,781
- I might go commando.
- 110
- 00:07:57,783 --> 00:07:59,916
- Just a robe.
- Get a nice breeze going.
- 111
- 00:07:59,918 --> 00:08:01,918
- - Hey, Joelle. Hi.
- - Hey.
- 112
- 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,019
- You didn't hear what we were
- just talking about, did you?
- 113
- 00:08:04,021 --> 00:08:05,857
- Doesn't matter. Um...
- 114
- 00:08:05,859 --> 00:08:06,960
- This is somewhere here.
- 115
- 00:08:09,595 --> 00:08:12,996
- Ah! All right, now, your error
- calculations were great,
- 116
- 00:08:12,998 --> 00:08:15,866
- but you mislabelled the axes on your plots.
- I didn't dock you for it.
- 117
- 00:08:15,868 --> 00:08:20,072
- Just something to keep in mind
- for the formal report. Okay?
- 118
- 00:08:20,074 --> 00:08:22,009
- You should be happy.
- You did well.
- 119
- 00:09:28,813 --> 00:09:30,183
- You're falling apart, Isaac.
- 120
- 00:09:31,116 --> 00:09:32,719
- What were you thinking?
- 121
- 00:09:34,321 --> 00:09:36,787
- Misappropriating
- telescope time like that,
- 122
- 00:09:36,789 --> 00:09:38,189
- it's not acceptable
- 123
- 00:09:38,191 --> 00:09:39,824
- I know.
- 124
- 00:09:39,826 --> 00:09:42,126
- You'll be replaced on your
- advising professor's project.
- 125
- 00:09:42,128 --> 00:09:45,931
- That won't be necessary. Look, I've been
- detecting planet transits on my own time.
- 126
- 00:09:45,933 --> 00:09:49,234
- All right? It was never my intention
- to sabotage anyone else's project.
- 127
- 00:09:49,236 --> 00:09:53,008
- Right now we insist
- that you take a break.
- 128
- 00:09:54,977 --> 00:09:57,977
- What happened at yesterday's lecture?
- There were complaints.
- 129
- 00:09:57,979 --> 00:09:59,678
- Nothing. It was just a bad day.
- 130
- 00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:00,914
- It's been more than one day.
- 131
- 00:10:00,916 --> 00:10:02,285
- You're right.
- It's been about two years.
- 132
- 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,622
- I know that
- things have been tough,
- 133
- 00:10:07,624 --> 00:10:10,091
- but I have to
- draw the line somewhere.
- 134
- 00:10:10,093 --> 00:10:13,194
- Use your break to get this wild
- goose chase out of your system.
- 135
- 00:10:13,196 --> 00:10:15,195
- I'd still like to be
- in the lab on weekends...
- 136
- 00:10:15,197 --> 00:10:17,030
- You aren't listening.
- 137
- 00:10:17,032 --> 00:10:19,069
- Facilities are for
- active staff only.
- 138
- 00:11:30,914 --> 00:11:33,183
- Three, two, one...
- 139
- 00:11:38,020 --> 00:11:39,287
- ...and lift off...
- 140
- 00:11:39,289 --> 00:11:41,957
- The Falcon 9 rocket carrying
- the TESS telescope.
- 141
- 00:11:41,959 --> 00:11:44,927
- Dr. John Rickman from TESS
- joins me.
- 142
- 00:11:44,929 --> 00:11:46,461
- Yes.
- We're inviting astronomers
- 143
- 00:11:46,463 --> 00:11:48,996
- from all around the world
- to participate in this effort.
- 144
- 00:11:48,998 --> 00:11:51,265
- Our data is your data.
- 145
- 00:11:51,267 --> 00:11:54,437
- Any one of you can lead us
- to what I believe
- 146
- 00:11:54,439 --> 00:11:56,776
- will be the greatest
- discovery of our time.
- 147
- 00:11:58,142 --> 00:12:02,111
- You see, TESS will observe
- hundreds of thousands of stars
- 148
- 00:12:02,113 --> 00:12:03,847
- during this
- revolutionary mission.
- 149
- 00:12:03,849 --> 00:12:06,250
- And this means
- an enormous amount of data.
- 150
- 00:12:06,252 --> 00:12:08,118
- And we're gonna need your help
- 151
- 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,989
- to analyze every bit of it.
- 152
- 00:12:15,193 --> 00:12:16,926
- Jeremy, I need
- access to the cluster,
- 153
- 00:12:16,928 --> 00:12:20,333
- otherwise I have only my home computer and
- laptop to run through these test data sets.
- 154
- 00:12:22,535 --> 00:12:26,005
- There's a lot. It'll take me a thousand
- hours to do all of that work here...
- 155
- 00:12:30,078 --> 00:12:32,311
- We would like
- everyone involved
- 156
- 00:12:32,313 --> 00:12:34,980
- In this community-wide effort
- 157
- 00:12:34,982 --> 00:12:37,218
- to go ahead
- and reach out to others.
- 158
- 00:12:39,020 --> 00:12:41,321
- No matter what level of
- astronomer you are,
- 159
- 00:12:41,323 --> 00:12:43,389
- professional, academic,
- independent,
- 160
- 00:12:43,391 --> 00:12:45,292
- you can contribute
- to this search.
- 161
- 00:12:45,294 --> 00:12:48,131
- From work, from home,
- wherever you like.
- 162
- 00:12:50,332 --> 00:12:53,300
- So, we're encouraging you,
- prepare yourself.
- 163
- 00:12:53,302 --> 00:12:55,403
- Mark your colanders.
- Get excited.
- 164
- 00:12:55,405 --> 00:12:57,304
- Because in the coming weeks,
- 165
- 00:12:57,306 --> 00:12:59,976
- we'll be releasing
- the first segment of data.
- 166
- 00:13:02,012 --> 00:13:05,948
- I want to remind everyone that the
- search will enter its second phase
- 167
- 00:13:05,950 --> 00:13:09,185
- when the James Webb telescope
- launches next year.
- 168
- 00:13:09,187 --> 00:13:11,554
- It is 100 times
- more powerful than Hubble.
- 169
- 00:13:11,556 --> 00:13:16,257
- And allows to see into the atmospheres
- of planets discovered by TESS
- 170
- 00:13:16,259 --> 00:13:17,929
- for signs of life.
- 171
- 00:13:19,298 --> 00:13:22,565
- You have no messages.
- 172
- 00:13:22,567 --> 00:13:26,404
- So we're looking forward to a very
- exciting future of planet-hunting.
- 173
- 00:13:47,194 --> 00:13:51,362
- So nobody wants to be
- an unpaid intern huh?
- 174
- 00:13:51,364 --> 00:13:54,900
- It's better than dealing with
- pretentious millennials all day.
- 175
- 00:13:54,902 --> 00:13:58,039
- Okay. First of all, you're the
- most pretentious person that I know.
- 176
- 00:14:00,008 --> 00:14:01,042
- Thank you.
- 177
- 00:14:02,543 --> 00:14:06,146
- Second, you get to
- teach people about space.
- 178
- 00:14:06,148 --> 00:14:07,580
- I mean,
- what's bigger than that?
- 179
- 00:14:07,582 --> 00:14:09,650
- Literally that's the
- biggest thing there is.
- 180
- 00:14:09,652 --> 00:14:12,953
- Yeah, but all we get
- to do is teach it.
- 181
- 00:14:12,955 --> 00:14:16,623
- And in this small, tiny amount of time
- they give us for original research...
- 182
- 00:14:16,625 --> 00:14:18,292
- What are we supposed to
- do with that?
- 183
- 00:14:18,294 --> 00:14:21,195
- That's not enough time to
- make any significant discovery.
- 184
- 00:14:21,197 --> 00:14:22,296
- Who said we have to?
- 185
- 00:14:22,298 --> 00:14:23,931
- No one.
- 186
- 00:14:23,933 --> 00:14:25,368
- But don't you want to?
- 187
- 00:14:27,004 --> 00:14:28,671
- I'm good.
- 188
- 00:14:28,673 --> 00:14:34,310
- Charlie, we work in a field where we can
- push the boundaries of everything we know.
- 189
- 00:14:34,312 --> 00:14:37,279
- Sorry, I just don't feel like
- we can do that from a classroom.
- 190
- 00:14:37,281 --> 00:14:41,117
- Wow. That's an incredibly way to talk
- about the thing that I love doing.
- 191
- 00:14:41,119 --> 00:14:43,352
- Come on, Charlie,
- that's not what I meant.
- 192
- 00:14:43,354 --> 00:14:45,054
- Sure,
- got a big shot over here.
- 193
- 00:14:45,056 --> 00:14:46,188
- You know
- that's not what I meant.
- 194
- 00:14:46,190 --> 00:14:47,259
- Uh-huh.
- 195
- 00:14:50,195 --> 00:14:53,868
- Come on, Charlie. You and I both know
- that there's something out there.
- 196
- 00:14:57,303 --> 00:14:59,005
- Can't just stop looking.
- 197
- 00:15:01,206 --> 00:15:04,174
- Okay.
- 198
- 00:15:04,176 --> 00:15:08,082
- And besides, if someone doesn't do this kind
- of work then you have nothing to teach.
- 199
- 00:15:10,484 --> 00:15:12,417
- Jeez.
- 200
- 00:15:12,419 --> 00:15:14,021
- See? Pretentious.
- 201
- 00:15:17,458 --> 00:15:20,462
- Ooh. Hey, you wanna...
- You wanna ride?
- 202
- 00:15:21,429 --> 00:15:23,263
- No. No, I'm good.
- I'll walk.
- 203
- 00:15:23,265 --> 00:15:25,398
- You sure?
- My car's right over there.
- 204
- 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,335
- Hey listen, um, you wouldn't
- have any interest in
- 205
- 00:15:28,337 --> 00:15:31,004
- helping me out with my data,
- would you?
- 206
- 00:15:31,006 --> 00:15:33,474
- It'd be like old times.
- 207
- 00:15:33,476 --> 00:15:36,076
- Undergrad labs.
- 208
- 00:15:36,078 --> 00:15:38,346
- You know,
- just with the baby coming.
- 209
- 00:15:38,348 --> 00:15:41,650
- There's not gonna be
- a lot of time. I'm sorry.
- 210
- 00:15:41,652 --> 00:15:43,121
- No. Don't be.
- 211
- 00:15:45,488 --> 00:15:47,456
- Anyway, uh,
- thanks for the drink.
- 212
- 00:15:47,458 --> 00:15:49,527
- - Yeah.
- - Hey, are you sure you're okay?
- 213
- 00:15:54,065 --> 00:15:55,566
- I will be. Hmm.
- 214
- 00:15:57,101 --> 00:15:58,269
- See you around.
- 215
- 00:16:00,537 --> 00:16:03,039
- Hey, we should do this
- more often, huh?
- 216
- 00:16:03,041 --> 00:16:04,410
- Call me back once in a while.
- 217
- 00:16:16,554 --> 00:16:18,089
- Dr. Bruno.
- 218
- 00:16:18,091 --> 00:16:19,626
- Stay. Stay.
- 219
- 00:16:20,593 --> 00:16:22,295
- How'd you know I live here?
- 220
- 00:16:22,762 --> 00:16:25,129
- Uh, oh. I, um...
- 221
- 00:16:25,131 --> 00:16:28,468
- I was hoping to apply
- for the researcher position.
- 222
- 00:16:31,072 --> 00:16:32,307
- What's your name?
- 223
- 00:16:33,373 --> 00:16:34,508
- Clara.
- 224
- 00:16:36,109 --> 00:16:37,445
- Clara.
- 225
- 00:16:38,079 --> 00:16:39,812
- It's late.
- 226
- 00:16:39,814 --> 00:16:42,214
- Right. I'm sorry. I will come back
- tomorrow if that would be better for you.
- 227
- 00:16:42,216 --> 00:16:44,451
- Um, but this is Eva.
- 228
- 00:16:44,453 --> 00:16:48,224
- And I was just wondering would it be at
- all possible for her to get some water?
- 229
- 00:16:52,427 --> 00:16:53,696
- Please?
- 230
- 00:17:08,646 --> 00:17:11,413
- All right. So, um...
- 231
- 00:17:11,415 --> 00:17:14,152
- What level of post-secondary
- education do you have?
- 232
- 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,754
- Wait. You did go
- to school right?
- 233
- 00:17:18,756 --> 00:17:20,157
- Yes.
- 234
- 00:17:20,159 --> 00:17:23,792
- I had bits of high school here and there.
- But I moved around a lot.
- 235
- 00:17:23,794 --> 00:17:26,196
- Okay, so you're not a student.
- 236
- 00:17:26,198 --> 00:17:28,601
- Have you worked professionally
- in any field of science before?
- 237
- 00:17:29,434 --> 00:17:30,834
- I haven't. No.
- 238
- 00:17:30,836 --> 00:17:34,405
- Can you program or
- write data-handling code?
- 239
- 00:17:34,407 --> 00:17:36,372
- Or have any
- qualifications at all?
- 240
- 00:17:36,374 --> 00:17:39,176
- Look, I'm under-qualified.
- 241
- 00:17:39,178 --> 00:17:41,313
- For sure.
- But I'm a fast learner.
- 242
- 00:17:41,315 --> 00:17:43,148
- And I work very hard.
- 243
- 00:17:43,150 --> 00:17:45,217
- Especially when it comes to
- things I care a lot about.
- 244
- 00:17:45,219 --> 00:17:48,322
- I've wondered almost every single day
- of my life what else could be out there.
- 245
- 00:17:49,590 --> 00:17:50,758
- Haven't you?
- 246
- 00:17:54,162 --> 00:17:55,530
- Okay. Um...
- 247
- 00:17:57,499 --> 00:17:59,668
- Well, I guess I'm gonna need
- some time to consider this.
- 248
- 00:18:00,501 --> 00:18:02,535
- Yeah.
- 249
- 00:18:02,537 --> 00:18:05,141
- I'll give you a call tomorrow.
- What's your phone number?
- 250
- 00:18:05,574 --> 00:18:07,173
- Um...
- 251
- 00:18:07,175 --> 00:18:10,413
- I don't have a cellphone
- or a landline.
- 252
- 00:18:19,489 --> 00:18:21,826
- I'm guessing you saw I had
- a room available in my ad.
- 253
- 00:18:24,327 --> 00:18:26,329
- Do you have
- many other applicants?
- 254
- 00:18:28,298 --> 00:18:31,200
- Are you fielding
- a lot of other options?
- 255
- 00:18:31,202 --> 00:18:34,172
- Well, I'm sorry, but I don't
- think this is going to work out.
- 256
- 00:18:35,438 --> 00:18:36,541
- Wow.
- 257
- 00:18:38,509 --> 00:18:40,312
- That is an incredible
- vinyl collection.
- 258
- 00:18:41,612 --> 00:18:42,814
- Thanks.
- 259
- 00:18:43,415 --> 00:18:45,615
- Can I?
- 260
- 00:18:45,617 --> 00:18:46,782
- Just, like, one song?
- 261
- 00:18:46,784 --> 00:18:48,620
- - Yeah.
- - Great.
- 262
- 00:19:11,277 --> 00:19:13,247
- Did you paint the Helix?
- 263
- 00:19:14,380 --> 00:19:16,548
- That mural in school?
- 264
- 00:19:27,996 --> 00:19:29,662
- You like Dylan?
- 265
- 00:19:29,664 --> 00:19:30,767
- Yes.
- 266
- 00:19:31,667 --> 00:19:32,899
- Is this an original?
- 267
- 00:19:32,901 --> 00:19:34,703
- It was one of my favorites.
- 268
- 00:19:35,504 --> 00:19:36,903
- Why is it empty?
- 269
- 00:19:36,905 --> 00:19:39,005
- We lost it
- when we moved in here.
- 270
- 00:19:39,007 --> 00:19:40,373
- Who's we?
- 271
- 00:19:40,375 --> 00:19:41,378
- My wife and I.
- 272
- 00:19:44,780 --> 00:19:45,950
- Where is she?
- 273
- 00:19:46,717 --> 00:19:47,785
- She's gone.
- 274
- 00:20:06,571 --> 00:20:08,372
- Well, thank you.
- 275
- 00:20:08,374 --> 00:20:09,940
- Yeah.
- 276
- 00:20:09,942 --> 00:20:11,477
- Thank you for everything.
- 277
- 00:20:12,543 --> 00:20:14,379
- Come on, Eva, come on.
- 278
- 00:20:16,816 --> 00:20:18,619
- Would you be able to
- start first thing tomorrow?
- 279
- 00:20:21,421 --> 00:20:22,623
- Yeah.
- 280
- 00:20:24,691 --> 00:20:25,826
- Good.
- 281
- 00:20:27,827 --> 00:20:29,364
- I'll show you your room.
- 282
- 00:21:00,595 --> 00:21:01,998
- Shh. It's okay, girl.
- 283
- 00:21:21,452 --> 00:21:24,087
- Before we start,
- a couple ground rules. Okay?
- 284
- 00:21:24,089 --> 00:21:26,589
- We're gonna keep this
- objective and professional.
- 285
- 00:21:26,591 --> 00:21:28,792
- We are not roommates,
- we are not friends.
- 286
- 00:21:28,794 --> 00:21:31,394
- We are research partners.
- All right?
- 287
- 00:21:31,396 --> 00:21:33,130
- - Got it.
- - Good.
- 288
- 00:21:33,132 --> 00:21:35,733
- So, I think we should start
- something we're gonna be doing.
- 289
- 00:21:35,735 --> 00:21:37,467
- Americano with
- three extra shots.
- 290
- 00:21:37,469 --> 00:21:38,869
- And the warm water with honey.
- 291
- 00:21:38,871 --> 00:21:40,403
- Thank you.
- 292
- 00:21:40,405 --> 00:21:42,707
- Can you take that?
- 293
- 00:21:42,709 --> 00:21:44,042
- - Thank you.
- - Thanks.
- 294
- 00:21:44,044 --> 00:21:45,810
- You sure that's all you want?
- 295
- 00:21:45,812 --> 00:21:47,379
- Yeah. This is perfect.
- 296
- 00:21:47,381 --> 00:21:49,080
- Sorry. So the basics.
- 297
- 00:21:49,082 --> 00:21:51,916
- Basics. Um, do you know
- what the transit method is?
- 298
- 00:21:51,918 --> 00:21:53,619
- Uh, hopefully I will soon.
- 299
- 00:21:53,621 --> 00:21:55,824
- It's a good place to start.
- 300
- 00:21:58,725 --> 00:22:04,130
- All right. Let's pretend
- that this is a star.
- 301
- 00:22:04,132 --> 00:22:07,768
- Now, this is a transit.
- 302
- 00:22:07,770 --> 00:22:11,070
- It's anything that passes in front
- of a star, in this case, a planet,
- 303
- 00:22:11,072 --> 00:22:13,774
- that dims the light we receive
- from the star.
- 304
- 00:22:13,776 --> 00:22:15,674
- This is the light
- 305
- 00:22:15,676 --> 00:22:19,814
- dimming while the transiting
- object passes in front of the star.
- 306
- 00:22:19,816 --> 00:22:21,749
- So, we measure the brightness
- over time
- 307
- 00:22:21,751 --> 00:22:24,618
- so that we can determine different
- qualities of that planet.
- 308
- 00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:26,820
- The size,
- even temperature,
- 309
- 00:22:26,822 --> 00:22:28,726
- just by analyzing
- curves of light.
- 310
- 00:22:29,627 --> 00:22:31,126
- - Okay?
- - Okay.
- 311
- 00:22:31,128 --> 00:22:33,397
- Right. So...
- 312
- 00:22:36,032 --> 00:22:37,769
- Go. Find the transit.
- 313
- 00:22:40,103 --> 00:22:41,940
- Hmm. Here.
- 314
- 00:22:42,974 --> 00:22:44,506
- That's a new planet.
- 315
- 00:22:44,508 --> 00:22:45,642
- - What?
- - Mmm-hmm.
- 316
- 00:22:45,644 --> 00:22:46,876
- That is amazing.
- 317
- 00:22:46,878 --> 00:22:49,012
- It's incredible, right?
- 318
- 00:22:49,014 --> 00:22:53,850
- So, you are gonna be finding the
- dips, and I will be vetting the data.
- 319
- 00:22:53,852 --> 00:22:57,120
- And then how are we gonna know
- which planets have life?
- 320
- 00:22:57,122 --> 00:23:00,925
- Well, we're the only planet that we
- know capable of sustaining life, so...
- 321
- 00:23:00,927 --> 00:23:02,693
- We're the best
- reference point for it.
- 322
- 00:23:02,695 --> 00:23:04,561
- We use this light data
- 323
- 00:23:04,563 --> 00:23:05,930
- to find other planets
- 324
- 00:23:05,932 --> 00:23:08,899
- that are as similar as possible
- to Earth in mass and temperature.
- 325
- 00:23:08,901 --> 00:23:12,603
- It's an over-simplification,
- but if we find another Earth...
- 326
- 00:23:12,605 --> 00:23:13,907
- We can find life.
- 327
- 00:23:17,077 --> 00:23:20,079
- Now, next year the James Webb
- Space Telescope is gonna launch
- 328
- 00:23:20,081 --> 00:23:24,119
- and we need our planet candidate to
- be the first follow-up observation.
- 329
- 00:23:24,885 --> 00:23:25,988
- All right.
- 330
- 00:23:26,653 --> 00:23:27,989
- Good.
- 331
- 00:23:29,858 --> 00:23:31,460
- Can I ask you something?
- 332
- 00:23:32,995 --> 00:23:34,093
- Yeah.
- 333
- 00:23:34,095 --> 00:23:36,732
- Why is finding life out there
- so important to you?
- 334
- 00:23:38,933 --> 00:23:40,837
- You know what people
- are scared of most?
- 335
- 00:23:41,505 --> 00:23:42,670
- Death?
- 336
- 00:23:42,672 --> 00:23:43,738
- The unknown.
- 337
- 00:23:43,740 --> 00:23:48,176
- Which unfortunately this
- universe is chock-full of.
- 338
- 00:23:48,178 --> 00:23:50,978
- Sure, we've been chipping away
- at it for thousands of years,
- 339
- 00:23:50,980 --> 00:23:52,951
- but we still know
- basically nothing.
- 340
- 00:23:54,585 --> 00:23:55,687
- So how do we
- process that?
- 341
- 00:23:56,887 --> 00:23:58,155
- We do what we've always done.
- 342
- 00:23:59,123 --> 00:24:01,089
- We make things up.
- 343
- 00:24:01,091 --> 00:24:04,827
- Create these elaborate bed-time
- stories to explain it all.
- 344
- 00:24:04,829 --> 00:24:07,931
- But if we found something,
- 345
- 00:24:07,933 --> 00:24:11,867
- even the smallest clue that
- something else exists out there,
- 346
- 00:24:11,869 --> 00:24:13,572
- something entirely different,
- 347
- 00:24:15,173 --> 00:24:16,643
- we wouldn't be
- the dark anymore.
- 348
- 00:24:17,810 --> 00:24:19,178
- We wouldn't have to be scared.
- 349
- 00:24:20,847 --> 00:24:22,946
- So...
- 350
- 00:24:22,948 --> 00:24:25,215
- You think that the only reason
- we tell stories
- 351
- 00:24:25,217 --> 00:24:26,817
- is because we're scared?
- 352
- 00:24:26,819 --> 00:24:28,686
- Terrified.
- 353
- 00:24:28,688 --> 00:24:32,758
- Okay, but what if telling stories
- is just a part of human nature?
- 354
- 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,530
- I'm done playing pretend.
- I think we all should be.
- 355
- 00:24:37,798 --> 00:24:38,933
- Okay. Okay.
- 356
- 00:24:40,735 --> 00:24:42,100
- What about this?
- 357
- 00:24:42,102 --> 00:24:45,070
- Let's say there's this
- scientist who is brilliant,
- 358
- 00:24:45,072 --> 00:24:46,505
- and very well-respected
- 359
- 00:24:46,507 --> 00:24:50,175
- who makes game-changing, world-altering
- advancements in his filed.
- 360
- 00:24:50,177 --> 00:24:52,745
- But he's also religious
- 361
- 00:24:52,747 --> 00:24:54,615
- His driving force is his faith,
- 362
- 00:24:54,617 --> 00:24:57,083
- his belief in God,
- a bedtime story.
- 363
- 00:24:57,085 --> 00:24:59,887
- But the result of his work
- is science and progress.
- 364
- 00:24:59,889 --> 00:25:01,257
- What would you say to him?
- 365
- 00:25:02,158 --> 00:25:04,157
- - What would I say?
- - Yes.
- 366
- 00:25:04,159 --> 00:25:06,898
- I'd say "Skip church and get back to work.
- You'll get more done faster."
- 367
- 00:25:08,131 --> 00:25:10,064
- Oh, I think he did just fine.
- 368
- 00:25:10,066 --> 00:25:11,600
- What?
- 369
- 00:25:11,602 --> 00:25:13,938
- Sir Isaac Newton.
- I think he did just fine.
- 370
- 00:25:27,218 --> 00:25:28,755
- All right,
- we've got work to do.
- 371
- 00:25:31,990 --> 00:25:35,057
- These are M dwarf stars.
- Smaller, dimmer than our own.
- 372
- 00:25:35,059 --> 00:25:38,160
- Now, TESS mainly focuses on
- brighter, bigger stars like ours.
- 373
- 00:25:38,162 --> 00:25:41,699
- But that means
- one roughly every 365 days.
- 374
- 00:25:41,701 --> 00:25:43,668
- These M dwarf stars,
- 375
- 00:25:43,670 --> 00:25:45,803
- planets orbit them
- in a matter of weeks.
- 376
- 00:25:45,805 --> 00:25:47,138
- So, less waiting around.
- 377
- 00:25:47,140 --> 00:25:50,141
- Exactly. So if we focus on these
- stars, we have edge
- 378
- 00:25:50,143 --> 00:25:52,078
- over everyone else
- looking through this data.
- 379
- 00:25:53,780 --> 00:25:54,979
- That's it. That's...
- 380
- 00:25:54,981 --> 00:25:56,848
- So is that gonna be a...
- Really?
- 381
- 00:25:56,850 --> 00:25:58,752
- - We got one.
- - That's so cool.
- 382
- 00:26:00,354 --> 00:26:02,121
- Why the rush?
- 383
- 00:26:02,123 --> 00:26:04,891
- The James Webb telescope will follow
- up on planets discovered by TESS.
- 384
- 00:26:04,893 --> 00:26:06,893
- If we're the first ones
- with the perfect candidate,
- 385
- 00:26:06,895 --> 00:26:09,663
- we have a chance to be
- part of something huge.
- 386
- 00:26:09,665 --> 00:26:11,131
- You mean when we
- find out we're not alone.
- 387
- 00:26:11,133 --> 00:26:12,367
- Mmm-hmm.
- 388
- 00:26:20,943 --> 00:26:22,945
- There. Is that a planet?
- 389
- 00:26:24,714 --> 00:26:28,081
- No. You see that sharp drop,
- it's probably nothing.
- 390
- 00:26:28,083 --> 00:26:29,620
- Keep looking.
- 391
- 00:26:32,822 --> 00:26:34,255
- So, do you ever eat,
- 392
- 00:26:34,257 --> 00:26:36,758
- or does doing this just
- completely sustain you?
- 393
- 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,330
- Food? What's that?
- 394
- 00:26:41,232 --> 00:26:42,964
- - Hi.
- - Hey.
- 395
- 00:26:42,966 --> 00:26:46,435
- So, that strange dip you caught,
- it's a planet. A promising one.
- 396
- 00:26:46,437 --> 00:26:48,037
- Look. Right there.
- 397
- 00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:50,406
- Unfortunately, TESS' cadence
- missed the full transit,
- 398
- 00:26:50,408 --> 00:26:53,142
- so we need to get a new transit
- ourselves to help prove it.
- 399
- 00:26:53,144 --> 00:26:55,781
- Which means
- we're gonna need a telescope.
- 400
- 00:26:56,481 --> 00:26:58,050
- Thank you.
- 401
- 00:26:59,919 --> 00:27:01,153
- Anything?
- 402
- 00:27:01,454 --> 00:27:03,721
- No.
- 403
- 00:27:03,723 --> 00:27:06,727
- We're supposed to apply for
- telescope time months in advance.
- 404
- 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,228
- Well, what about that one?
- 405
- 00:27:11,230 --> 00:27:14,834
- We need... We need one like the one I
- used to operate through the university.
- 406
- 00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,338
- So why don't we use theirs?
- 407
- 00:27:22,442 --> 00:27:25,177
- Keep an eye out for the campus security.
- This is gonna take a while.
- 408
- 00:27:25,179 --> 00:27:26,348
- Okay. Got it.
- 409
- 00:27:27,148 --> 00:27:28,350
- Okay.
- 410
- 00:27:29,250 --> 00:27:30,851
- Come on.
- 411
- 00:27:30,853 --> 00:27:32,255
- Go.
- 412
- 00:27:44,933 --> 00:27:46,100
- Where's the telescope?
- 413
- 00:27:46,102 --> 00:27:48,870
- A lot of our research is based
- in the galactic center,
- 414
- 00:27:48,872 --> 00:27:51,238
- which is only visible from
- the southern hemisphere.
- 415
- 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,480
- The one we use is a remote robotic
- telescope based out of Chile.
- 416
- 00:27:57,114 --> 00:28:00,214
- Normally we access it
- with just a couple clicks.
- 417
- 00:28:00,216 --> 00:28:04,286
- But given my current
- employment status,
- 418
- 00:28:04,288 --> 00:28:05,991
- I gotta make a phone call.
- 419
- 00:28:10,427 --> 00:28:12,263
- Hello. Hi, uh, ola.
- 420
- 00:28:13,397 --> 00:28:17,134
- My name is Dr. Bruno
- Dr. Isaac Bruno.
- 421
- 00:28:17,136 --> 00:28:23,206
- I last accessed the telescope on
- March 14th at approximately 3:00 a.m.
- 422
- 00:28:23,208 --> 00:28:27,046
- Si, si. Uh, could I have the telescope
- shifted to new celestial coordinates?
- 423
- 00:28:28,447 --> 00:28:30,083
- No, no. I have permission.
- 424
- 00:28:31,885 --> 00:28:33,121
- From... Uh...
- 425
- 00:28:34,021 --> 00:28:35,123
- Dr. Charles Durant.
- 426
- 00:28:36,122 --> 00:28:39,858
- Yes, ID number 917836187.
- 427
- 00:28:39,860 --> 00:28:41,860
- No, he's not...
- 428
- 00:28:41,862 --> 00:28:44,196
- Listen, this only gonna take
- a couple of hours, okay?
- 429
- 00:28:44,198 --> 00:28:46,264
- And then we'll put
- the telescope back...
- 430
- 00:28:46,266 --> 00:28:48,967
- Clara, hold on, what are you...
- 431
- 00:29:17,468 --> 00:29:21,503
- All right, she said it will take
- 15 minutes, but it will be ours.
- 432
- 00:29:21,505 --> 00:29:22,507
- What did you say?
- 433
- 00:29:24,107 --> 00:29:25,309
- I asked her how her day was.
- 434
- 00:29:26,576 --> 00:29:28,510
- I was about to get to that.
- 435
- 00:29:28,512 --> 00:29:30,982
- Yeah. I knew you were.
- 436
- 00:29:41,493 --> 00:29:44,929
- The observatory is
- pre-processing the images now,
- 437
- 00:29:44,931 --> 00:29:46,967
- It's gonna be a little while
- until we can download the data.
- 438
- 00:29:54,274 --> 00:29:56,210
- So what are these rocks you take
- everywhere with you?
- 439
- 00:29:58,646 --> 00:30:02,183
- This is obsidian from
- the Huayhuash pass in Peru.
- 440
- 00:30:04,285 --> 00:30:05,987
- Amethyst from Zambia.
- 441
- 00:30:07,088 --> 00:30:09,989
- Celestine from Australia.
- 442
- 00:30:09,991 --> 00:30:11,993
- It's really rare there,
- actually, this was a gift.
- 443
- 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,929
- Pyrite from Navajun.
- 444
- 00:30:16,097 --> 00:30:17,563
- This piece is pretty impure,
- 445
- 00:30:17,565 --> 00:30:21,001
- but I watched them chip them out of
- the ground like they were designed,
- 446
- 00:30:21,003 --> 00:30:22,536
- printed as perfect cubes.
- 447
- 00:30:22,538 --> 00:30:23,937
- What about one?
- 448
- 00:30:23,939 --> 00:30:25,539
- You're gonna like this one.
- 449
- 00:30:25,541 --> 00:30:27,277
- It's a meteorite
- from Antarctica.
- 450
- 00:30:28,077 --> 00:30:29,280
- Chondrite.
- 451
- 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,612
- - Wow.
- - Yeah.
- 452
- 00:30:31,614 --> 00:30:33,450
- You know this is older
- than the Sun?
- 453
- 00:30:33,716 --> 00:30:36,184
- Mmm-hmm.
- 454
- 00:30:36,186 --> 00:30:39,087
- Why did you go to Antarctica?
- 455
- 00:30:39,089 --> 00:30:41,323
- That was actually the one
- continent that I couldn't get to,
- 456
- 00:30:41,325 --> 00:30:43,525
- but that was my first one.
- 457
- 00:30:43,527 --> 00:30:45,962
- - That's what made me want to travel.
- - Why?
- 458
- 00:30:45,964 --> 00:30:49,165
- I grew up around here,
- group care, foster homes.
- 459
- 00:30:49,167 --> 00:30:50,766
- And they weren't great
- for the most part,
- 460
- 00:30:50,768 --> 00:30:54,638
- but they used to let us go on these
- trips to the waterfront or to the island.
- 461
- 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,708
- You know, and me being me
- I would sneak off,
- 462
- 00:30:58,710 --> 00:31:01,544
- and I would find families with
- really nice beach towels and snacks
- 463
- 00:31:01,546 --> 00:31:05,486
- and I would sort of befriend them
- and pretend they were my own.
- 464
- 00:31:06,686 --> 00:31:08,553
- And anyway,
- one day we went to the pier
- 465
- 00:31:08,555 --> 00:31:12,422
- when I snuck off, I met
- this guy who was a sailor.
- 466
- 00:31:12,424 --> 00:31:15,994
- He was this huge Icelandic guy
- with this big red beard
- 467
- 00:31:15,996 --> 00:31:19,230
- and these glacial blue eyes,
- like yours, and...
- 468
- 00:31:19,232 --> 00:31:22,301
- He let me help
- get his boat ready to sail.
- 469
- 00:31:22,303 --> 00:31:27,139
- He taught me all about the proper rigging
- and even how to signal with morse code.
- 470
- 00:31:27,141 --> 00:31:31,177
- And I loved that
- as an eight-year-old.
- 471
- 00:31:31,179 --> 00:31:34,314
- And when we were done, to say
- thank you, he gave me that.
- 472
- 00:31:34,316 --> 00:31:37,353
- Then he told me that not only did it
- come from opposite side of the planet,
- 473
- 00:31:38,220 --> 00:31:39,518
- it came from the stars.
- 474
- 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,157
- Meteors aren't stars.
- 475
- 00:31:42,724 --> 00:31:44,193
- It had a story.
- 476
- 00:31:44,660 --> 00:31:46,196
- He had a story.
- 477
- 00:31:46,695 --> 00:31:48,095
- And a life.
- 478
- 00:31:48,097 --> 00:31:51,565
- And I promised myself right then
- and there, that when I grew up,
- 479
- 00:31:51,567 --> 00:31:54,739
- I was gonna travel the world and
- I was gonna make my own stories.
- 480
- 00:31:56,740 --> 00:31:59,978
- And when I'm done being on the
- move, I'll throw them in the ocean.
- 481
- 00:32:01,078 --> 00:32:02,213
- Give them back to the earth.
- 482
- 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,748
- But for right now
- they're all I've got.
- 483
- 00:32:05,750 --> 00:32:07,319
- They're my pieces of home.
- 484
- 00:32:12,424 --> 00:32:14,259
- So when did you move back?
- 485
- 00:32:14,759 --> 00:32:16,659
- A year ago.
- 486
- 00:32:16,661 --> 00:32:18,227
- All of the bouncing around
- 487
- 00:32:18,229 --> 00:32:21,799
- really started to take a toll on me,
- so I decided it was time to come back.
- 488
- 00:32:21,801 --> 00:32:24,667
- And selling paintings
- to get by...
- 489
- 00:32:24,669 --> 00:32:28,505
- And also, I found Eva, so we've just
- been taking it easy, hanging out.
- 490
- 00:32:28,507 --> 00:32:31,511
- A-ha. So you speak Spanish.
- What else you got?
- 491
- 00:32:37,284 --> 00:32:38,849
- That's French. Easy.
- 492
- 00:32:42,790 --> 00:32:44,126
- Japanese.
- 493
- 00:32:48,662 --> 00:32:49,829
- German?
- 494
- 00:32:49,831 --> 00:32:51,496
- Afrikaans.
- 495
- 00:32:52,734 --> 00:32:55,201
- People pretend that
- we're all so different.
- 496
- 00:32:55,203 --> 00:32:57,336
- But really, just everybody
- wants the same thing.
- 497
- 00:32:57,338 --> 00:32:59,572
- They all want to hear
- "Thank you,"
- 498
- 00:32:59,574 --> 00:33:01,143
- they wanna be asked
- how their days are.
- 499
- 00:33:02,276 --> 00:33:03,613
- They wanna hear "I love you."
- 500
- 00:33:04,713 --> 00:33:06,346
- Sounds like there's
- a story there.
- 501
- 00:33:06,348 --> 00:33:08,484
- - More than one.
- - Oh.
- 502
- 00:33:09,685 --> 00:33:12,553
- But I never really
- let anything get too far.
- 503
- 00:33:12,555 --> 00:33:14,825
- Whenever the conversation
- turned to marriage and kids,
- 504
- 00:33:16,126 --> 00:33:17,394
- I knew it was
- my time to go.
- 505
- 00:33:18,128 --> 00:33:19,363
- Hmm.
- 506
- 00:33:20,597 --> 00:33:22,399
- Not the right version
- of my life, you know?
- 507
- 00:33:24,734 --> 00:33:27,171
- Yeah. I do.
- 508
- 00:33:44,723 --> 00:33:46,356
- Uh, excuse me.
- 509
- 00:33:46,358 --> 00:33:48,893
- Campus is closed right now.
- You're not supposed to be...
- 510
- 00:33:48,895 --> 00:33:52,530
- Shit. Clara.
- Clara, hey, come on.
- 511
- 00:33:52,532 --> 00:33:55,500
- Campus security. We'll have to find
- a way to get the data later. Go.
- 512
- 00:33:55,502 --> 00:33:56,870
- - Go, go, go.
- - Okay, okay.
- 513
- 00:34:14,221 --> 00:34:18,258
- Don't you ever use my name for something
- so stupid and irresponsible again!
- 514
- 00:34:18,260 --> 00:34:21,231
- Do you realize you put
- my career in jeopardy?
- 515
- 00:34:24,633 --> 00:34:26,136
- Hello.
- 516
- 00:34:26,401 --> 00:34:27,801
- Hi.
- 517
- 00:34:27,803 --> 00:34:30,538
- Charlie, Clara.
- Clara, Charlie.
- 518
- 00:34:30,540 --> 00:34:33,407
- - Nice to meet you, Charlie.
- - You too.
- 519
- 00:34:33,409 --> 00:34:35,576
- Hope he hasn't made
- your life a living hell yet.
- 520
- 00:34:35,578 --> 00:34:36,679
- Thank you.
- 521
- 00:34:39,848 --> 00:34:41,485
- You definitely got something.
- 522
- 00:34:43,253 --> 00:34:44,355
- Is it an Earth mass?
- 523
- 00:34:45,590 --> 00:34:46,725
- But...
- 524
- 00:34:47,858 --> 00:34:49,524
- But?
- 525
- 00:34:49,526 --> 00:34:51,827
- It's contaminated
- with stellar activity.
- 526
- 00:34:51,829 --> 00:34:55,431
- Plus you're gonna need a spectrum if you
- want the mass and all the other fun stuff.
- 527
- 00:34:55,433 --> 00:34:57,533
- No one's gonna give you
- any telescope time now,
- 528
- 00:34:57,535 --> 00:34:59,938
- unless you get someone with
- considerable clout to help you out.
- 529
- 00:35:02,473 --> 00:35:03,508
- No.
- 530
- 00:35:05,612 --> 00:35:06,613
- No.
- 531
- 00:35:07,579 --> 00:35:08,945
- We'll find another option.
- 532
- 00:35:08,947 --> 00:35:10,680
- There aren't any, genius.
- 533
- 00:35:10,682 --> 00:35:12,920
- Sorry, guys, what are we
- talking about?
- 534
- 00:35:16,689 --> 00:35:18,156
- After Isaac's little stunt,
- 535
- 00:35:18,158 --> 00:35:20,658
- it will be a cold day in hell before
- he books telescope time again.
- 536
- 00:35:20,660 --> 00:35:22,893
- You need a good rep and
- referrals and that sort of thing.
- 537
- 00:35:22,895 --> 00:35:24,596
- And Isaac just... Splat.
- Took a dump all over that.
- 538
- 00:35:24,598 --> 00:35:26,364
- - Charlie.
- - We have a friend.
- 539
- 00:35:26,366 --> 00:35:28,635
- Isaac's ex-wife, Rebecca.
- 540
- 00:35:28,637 --> 00:35:30,702
- She's is an Endowed Chair
- at CalTech.
- 541
- 00:35:30,704 --> 00:35:32,972
- She got poached, moved to
- California, she's kicking ass.
- 542
- 00:35:32,974 --> 00:35:35,941
- As long as you don't put
- her career at risk too,
- 543
- 00:35:35,943 --> 00:35:39,012
- she could probably get you time
- on the Keck telescope.
- 544
- 00:35:39,014 --> 00:35:40,980
- - I mean, if you're not too proud to ask for help.
- - Right.
- 545
- 00:35:40,982 --> 00:35:42,582
- Isaac, let's talk to Rebecca.
- 546
- 00:35:42,584 --> 00:35:43,551
- Thanks for the data, Charlie...
- 547
- 00:35:43,553 --> 00:35:44,752
- Look, if you go make
- things right with her,
- 548
- 00:35:44,754 --> 00:35:46,720
- you can also catch the next
- transit three days from now.
- 549
- 00:35:46,722 --> 00:35:48,792
- Charlie, this is the part
- where you stay out of it.
- 550
- 00:35:51,626 --> 00:35:53,930
- You're just making things harder
- for yourself, asshole.
- 551
- 00:35:55,766 --> 00:35:57,235
- Sorry.
- 552
- 00:36:00,936 --> 00:36:03,840
- Believe it or not
- he's the smartest guy I know.
- 553
- 00:36:04,876 --> 00:36:06,544
- Was it as bad
- as I think it was?
- 554
- 00:36:08,945 --> 00:36:10,248
- The worst.
- 555
- 00:36:19,692 --> 00:36:20,693
- Hey.
- 556
- 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:23,793
- Hey.
- 557
- 00:36:23,795 --> 00:36:26,862
- Um, do you have
- any extra pajamas?
- 558
- 00:36:26,864 --> 00:36:28,701
- Other than band T-shirts.
- 559
- 00:36:29,836 --> 00:36:31,869
- Uh...
- 560
- 00:36:31,871 --> 00:36:36,276
- Yeah. Should be... Should be
- something in your closet.
- 561

- that Rebecca never wore.

- Are you sure?
- 563
- 00:36:40,848 --> 00:36:41,949
- Yeah.

- Isaac.

- Finding some other lifeforms
- isn't going to bring him back.

- I know that.

- - Rebecca...

- For you.
- 620
- 00:42:01,928 --> 00:42:03,163
- Yeah.
- 621
- 00:42:08,703 --> 00:42:11,105
- Here. I know you.

- It's okay.
- 623

- No one will blame you
- for not finding anything.

- I'm sorry, Isaac.
- 625
- 00:44:08,331 --> 00:44:09,333
- Look.
- 626
- 00:44:12,369 --> 00:44:13,537
- Oh, my gosh.
- 627
- 00:44:16,908 --> 00:44:18,277
- It was right on time.
- 628
- 00:44:21,413 --> 00:44:25,214
- Mag 13.5. Just right
- for a James Webb follow-up.
- 629
- 00:44:25,216 --> 00:44:26,449
- The planet's diameter is...
- 630
- 00:44:26,451 --> 00:44:31,021
- Twelve thousand eight hundred
- kilometers. Sound familiar?
- 631
- 00:44:31,023 --> 00:44:33,957
- With a density of 5.4 grams
- per centimeter cubed...
- 632
- 00:44:33,959 --> 00:44:35,226
- It's definitely an Earth mass.
- 633
- 00:44:35,228 --> 00:44:36,360
- Yeah.
- 634
- 00:44:36,362 --> 00:44:38,294
- The planet's distance
- to the star?
- 635
- 00:44:38,296 --> 00:44:40,498
- 0.5 astronomical units.
- 636
- 00:44:40,500 --> 00:44:43,067
- Which gets me to around 303K.
- 637
- 00:44:43,069 --> 00:44:45,006
- Inside the habitable zone.
- 638
- 00:44:46,874 --> 00:44:48,375
- Twenty light-years away from us.
- 639
- 00:44:56,985 --> 00:44:59,153
- You might've just
- discovered Earth 2.0.
- 640
- 00:45:03,491 --> 00:45:05,928
- Thank you, Rebecca.
- 641
- 00:45:14,002 --> 00:45:15,969
- Oh, man.
- 642
- 00:45:15,971 --> 00:45:18,575
- All right, I need to submit this
- to NASA immediately.
- 643
- 00:45:19,576 --> 00:45:22,579
- Of course.
- You owe me a sandwich.
- 644
- 00:45:45,603 --> 00:45:48,270
- Oh, my God!
- Oh, my God!
- 645
- 00:45:56,282 --> 00:45:57,550
- I wanna show you something.
- 646
- 00:46:01,954 --> 00:46:03,256
- I found our star.
- 647
- 00:46:05,192 --> 00:46:07,094
- It's a little hard to see
- with all the city light. But...
- 648
- 00:46:09,129 --> 00:46:10,565
- It's there.
- 649
- 00:46:23,211 --> 00:46:24,446
- Got an idea.
- 650
- 00:46:29,718 --> 00:46:31,987
- Sorry, the resolution's
- not great.
- 651
- 00:46:33,455 --> 00:46:37,290
- There's software that's gonna
- virtually catalog
- 652
- 00:46:37,292 --> 00:46:39,994
- all of the stars discovered
- by TESS.
- 653
- 00:46:39,996 --> 00:46:42,499
- I'll be like a map
- of the galaxy.
- 654
- 00:46:43,699 --> 00:46:47,137
- This is just a
- Hubble deep field image.
- 655
- 00:46:48,304 --> 00:46:50,073
- It'll have do for now.
- 656
- 00:46:51,508 --> 00:46:53,144
- Yeah. It'll do.
- 657
- 00:46:58,716 --> 00:47:01,185
- Seems too beautiful to
- just be random.
- 658
- 00:47:02,620 --> 00:47:06,289
- It's beautiful
- because it's random.
- 659
- 00:47:06,291 --> 00:47:10,159
- Doesn't it seem like there's so
- much intention behind all of it?
- 660
- 00:47:10,161 --> 00:47:14,463
- Like somebody
- painted this... Canvas.
- 661
- 00:47:14,465 --> 00:47:19,403
- If some God was trying
- to paint a perfect universe...
- 662
- 00:47:19,405 --> 00:47:21,374
- They did a pretty shitty job.
- 663
- 00:47:23,443 --> 00:47:25,379
- Just look at the way
- things happen.
- 664
- 00:47:26,780 --> 00:47:29,815
- Supremely unintelligent design.
- 665
- 00:47:29,817 --> 00:47:34,152
- Oh, I know that I feel
- a connection to all this.
- 666
- 00:47:34,154 --> 00:47:36,221
- And people use all different
- kinds of words for it,
- 667
- 00:47:36,223 --> 00:47:38,056
- but there is something else.
- 668
- 00:47:38,058 --> 00:47:40,660
- Something that
- reaches out to me.
- 669
- 00:47:40,662 --> 00:47:42,194
- And I don't know
- how to explain it.
- 670
- 00:47:42,196 --> 00:47:45,765
- Clara, that connection you feel
- 671
- 00:47:45,767 --> 00:47:50,502
- basically just boils down to a release of
- chemicals in the brain, like serotonin.
- 672
- 00:47:50,504 --> 00:47:52,475
- - There's more to it than that.
- - There really isn't.
- 673
- 00:47:57,346 --> 00:47:59,846
- Look, if some incredibly
- advanced species out there
- 674
- 00:47:59,848 --> 00:48:03,852
- confirmed some metaphysical
- connection to everything exists,
- 675
- 00:48:03,854 --> 00:48:07,521
- then maybe I'd look at the data.
- But for now...
- 676
- 00:48:07,523 --> 00:48:11,094
- It's just an unproven,
- human-made concept.
- 677
- 00:48:13,530 --> 00:48:15,634
- Wouldn't you want there to be
- something more to all this?
- 678
- 00:48:18,402 --> 00:48:20,469
- Wouldn't you want that comfort?
- 679
- 00:48:20,471 --> 00:48:22,605
- That certainty of knowing
- that we're going to be okay?
- 680
- 00:48:22,607 --> 00:48:26,512
- Or that we don't just fade away into
- the darkness when all this is over?
- 681
- 00:48:28,447 --> 00:48:30,150
- It's not about what I want.
- 682
- 00:48:32,251 --> 00:48:34,521
- I can't just choose
- to believe otherwise.
- 683
- 00:48:39,658 --> 00:48:41,227
- I'm sorry.
- 684
- 00:48:44,631 --> 00:48:47,301
- I've always had a feeling that the
- universe can still surprise us.
- 685
- 00:48:52,606 --> 00:48:54,809
- We can't prove something
- based on a feeling.
- 686
- 00:49:09,490 --> 00:49:10,792
- Did you feel that?
- 687
- 00:49:14,863 --> 00:49:16,166
- Prove it.
- 688
- 00:49:26,909 --> 00:49:28,713
- Wait.
- 689
- 00:49:32,283 --> 00:49:33,651
- I'm sorry.
- 690
- 00:50:01,847 --> 00:50:04,549
- Why do you keep
- moving those around?
- 691
- 00:50:04,551 --> 00:50:07,554
- Um, it just helps me figure out
- what I need to get to next.
- 692
- 00:50:10,890 --> 00:50:12,324
- What do you mean?
- 693
- 00:50:12,326 --> 00:50:13,991
- I mean, you said it yourself.
- 694
- 00:50:13,993 --> 00:50:15,727
- We're not friends, we're not
- roommates, we are research partners.
- 695
- 00:50:15,729 --> 00:50:17,463
- And we made our discovery, so...
- 696
- 00:50:17,465 --> 00:50:19,231
- Exactly.
- 697
- 00:50:19,233 --> 00:50:21,434
- Finding a planet candidate
- is just the first step.
- 698
- 00:50:21,436 --> 00:50:24,106
- I mean, there's still
- plenty of analysis to do.
- 699
- 00:50:27,977 --> 00:50:29,345
- You don't have to leave.
- 700
- 00:50:46,295 --> 00:50:47,894
- I'm sorry for last night.
- 701
- 00:50:47,896 --> 00:50:50,264
- - I shouldn't have done that to you.
- - No. I made you uncomfortable.
- 702
- 00:50:50,266 --> 00:50:51,435
- No, you didn't.
- 703
- 00:50:58,843 --> 00:51:01,477
- Okay, then. We should
- go tell Charlie the good news.
- 704
- 00:51:01,479 --> 00:51:03,313
- Charlie?
- 705
- 00:51:03,315 --> 00:51:04,648
- He'd be mid-lecture by now.
- 706
- 00:51:04,650 --> 00:51:06,349
- Okay. So we'll crash it.
- 707
- 00:51:06,351 --> 00:51:08,887
- I don't really wanna be seen
- on campus.
- 708
- 00:51:11,056 --> 00:51:12,992
- Hence crashing.
- 709
- 00:51:16,562 --> 00:51:19,030
- If you'll only look up from your
- phones to glean one piece of information
- 710
- 00:51:19,032 --> 00:51:20,667
- from me all semester,
- let it be this.
- 711
- 00:51:22,035 --> 00:51:23,901
- Data.
- 712
- 00:51:23,903 --> 00:51:26,537
- Data is everything to us. Yes?
- 713
- 00:51:26,539 --> 00:51:28,639
- Without data we wouldn't
- understand what we're looking at.
- 714
- 00:51:28,641 --> 00:51:32,944
- But if you're like me and staring at
- graphs all day is not a lot of fun to you,
- 715
- 00:51:32,946 --> 00:51:34,882
- well, there's a way
- to make it fun.
- 716
- 00:51:39,586 --> 00:51:44,524
- Sonification is the process of
- converting data into sound.
- 717
- 00:51:44,526 --> 00:51:48,827
- What we're listening to right now
- are vibrations from Saturn's rings.
- 718
- 00:51:48,829 --> 00:51:50,832
- Consider what you're
- actually listening to.
- 719
- 00:51:54,803 --> 00:51:56,369
- Pretty trippy, right?
- 720
- 00:51:56,371 --> 00:51:57,904
- Let's switch it up. Hmm.
- 721
- 00:52:01,109 --> 00:52:04,012
- Listening to data is very
- useful for detecting patterns.
- 722
- 00:52:04,014 --> 00:52:07,015
- If you think about it, basically
- every song on your radios,
- 723
- 00:52:07,017 --> 00:52:08,716
- on your streaming devices,
- 724
- 00:52:08,718 --> 00:52:10,517
- can be broken down into data.
- 725
- 00:52:10,519 --> 00:52:14,789
- Now, I've put the MP3 of this
- sonified track on e-class.
- 726
- 00:52:14,791 --> 00:52:16,058
- What I want you to do
- 727
- 00:52:16,060 --> 00:52:20,362
- is go home and reverse
- the sonification process.
- 728
- 00:52:20,364 --> 00:52:22,667
- Convert the sound
- back into data.
- 729
- 00:52:23,768 --> 00:52:25,904
- That's it.
- Get the hell outta here.
- 730
- 00:52:32,443 --> 00:52:35,644
- So this is how you think
- college students dress?
- 731
- 00:52:35,646 --> 00:52:38,481
- You look like you're about to drop
- a really, really obnoxious mix tape.
- 732
- 00:52:39,886 --> 00:52:41,919
- Hey, Dr. Rickman from TESS is
- coming to give a lecture next month.
- 733
- 00:52:41,921 --> 00:52:43,520
- You guys should sneak
- into that as well.
- 734
- 00:52:43,522 --> 00:52:44,888
- I recommend dressing
- exactly like this.
- 735
- 00:52:44,890 --> 00:52:47,625
- We may need to
- talk to him a little sooner.
- 736
- 00:52:47,627 --> 00:52:48,762
- What are you
- talking about?
- 737
- 00:52:50,662 --> 00:52:51,866
- We found our planet.
- 738
- 00:52:53,067 --> 00:52:54,699
- - Seriously?
- - Yeah.
- 739
- 00:52:55,737 --> 00:52:57,472
- Are you kidding me right now?
- Hang on a second.
- 740
- 00:52:58,139 --> 00:53:00,041
- Hello. Now?
- 741
- 00:53:00,741 --> 00:53:02,541
- Like right now?
- 742
- 00:53:02,543 --> 00:53:04,680
- Yeah. Yeah, okay.
- I'm coming. I'm coming.
- 743
- 00:53:06,180 --> 00:53:07,682
- I'm having a baby.
- 744
- 00:53:12,720 --> 00:53:14,687
- Hi, my wife is
- having a baby. Our baby.
- 745
- 00:53:14,689 --> 00:53:16,757
- Uh, it's Maya Durant.
- M-A-Y-A.
- 746
- 00:53:16,759 --> 00:53:19,759
- Just love to know
- what floor she's on, please.
- 747
- 00:54:15,088 --> 00:54:16,557
- Isaac.
- 748
- 00:54:19,025 --> 00:54:21,626
- You're gonna be a father.
- 749
- 00:54:21,628 --> 00:54:22,662
- He's not breathing.
- 750
- 00:54:22,664 --> 00:54:23,929
- I don't
- have a heartbeat.
- 751
- 00:54:23,931 --> 00:54:25,664
- Isaac.
- 752
- 00:54:25,666 --> 00:54:26,835
- He's not breathing.
- 753
- 00:54:31,272 --> 00:54:33,073
- Just give her
- some space. Just focus on me.
- 754
- 00:54:33,075 --> 00:54:34,741
- Still no heartbeat.
- 755
- 00:54:34,743 --> 00:54:36,479
- No!
- 756
- 00:54:38,279 --> 00:54:39,782
- I'm so sorry.
- 757
- 00:54:46,121 --> 00:54:47,223
- Isaac?
- 758
- 00:55:20,792 --> 00:55:22,195
- What are
- you thinking about?
- 759
- 00:55:24,296 --> 00:55:25,999
- That it's all just luck.
- 760
- 00:55:29,803 --> 00:55:30,971
- All this.
- 761
- 00:55:31,203 --> 00:55:32,904
- Us.
- 762
- 00:55:34,841 --> 00:55:38,246
- It's just this total
- cosmic accident.
- 763
- 00:55:42,050 --> 00:55:45,617
- Just one minuscule variation,
- 764
- 00:55:45,619 --> 00:55:47,352
- a slight shift,
- one way or another,
- 765
- 00:55:47,354 --> 00:55:50,155
- and the last
- 13.8 billion years
- 766
- 00:55:50,157 --> 00:55:52,961
- could have gone in infinite
- number of ways, but...
- 767
- 00:55:55,830 --> 00:55:57,566
- Here we are.
- 768
- 00:56:02,071 --> 00:56:03,774
- Recycled matter.
- 769
- 00:56:06,041 --> 00:56:07,610
- Dust.
- 770
- 00:56:15,051 --> 00:56:17,051
- So many things
- have to go right
- 771
- 00:56:17,053 --> 00:56:18,889
- to make anything.
- 772
- 00:56:19,991 --> 00:56:22,294
- An atom, a star, a...
- 773
- 00:56:25,930 --> 00:56:27,599
- A tiny person.
- 774
- 00:56:33,405 --> 00:56:35,007
- He was ours.
- 775
- 00:56:37,175 --> 00:56:39,580
- For less than a minute,
- he was ours.
- 776
- 00:56:43,216 --> 00:56:44,618
- And then...
- 777
- 00:56:49,656 --> 00:56:50,892
- He wasn't.
- 778
- 00:56:53,826 --> 00:56:56,027
- Isaac?
- 779
- 00:56:56,029 --> 00:56:59,831
- I wish I could tell you why bad
- things happen to good people.
- 780
- 00:56:59,833 --> 00:57:02,737
- Or why life just stops.
- 781
- 00:57:04,705 --> 00:57:05,974
- But I can't.
- 782
- 00:57:08,742 --> 00:57:11,678
- All I know is that
- the universe went our way
- 783
- 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,716
- and we're here, and so was he.
- 784
- 00:57:15,217 --> 00:57:17,116
- He was here.
- 785
- 00:57:17,118 --> 00:57:19,453
- His atoms were here.
- 786
- 00:57:19,455 --> 00:57:22,292
- And they're not gone.
- They've only changed.
- 787
- 00:57:25,860 --> 00:57:27,762
- I read somewhere
- that once two atoms
- 788
- 00:57:27,764 --> 00:57:29,196
- come in contact
- with one another,
- 789
- 00:57:29,198 --> 00:57:31,800
- they can become
- linked, intertwined.
- 790
- 00:57:31,802 --> 00:57:34,334
- And then no matter
- how far they're separated,
- 791
- 00:57:34,336 --> 00:57:37,171
- they still know
- one another's state,
- 792
- 00:57:37,173 --> 00:57:39,040
- instantly, over light years.
- 793
- 00:57:39,042 --> 00:57:40,275
- Quantum entanglement.
- 794
- 00:57:40,277 --> 00:57:41,346
- Yeah.
- 795
- 00:57:43,915 --> 00:57:45,650
- You're still connected to him.
- 796
- 00:57:46,817 --> 00:57:48,451
- I'm not sure
- that's how that works.
- 797
- 00:57:48,453 --> 00:57:50,355
- Yeah, but you
- feel him, don't you?
- 798
- 00:57:54,992 --> 00:57:58,063
- Maybe somewhere, somehow,
- he still feels you.
- 799
- 00:58:41,811 --> 00:58:43,880
- Now you've got one
- from every continent.
- 800
- 00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:52,490
- This one will be both of ours.
- 801
- 00:58:55,191 --> 00:58:57,195
- Then maybe
- that means you can stay.
- 802
- 00:59:09,373 --> 00:59:12,808
- Stop looking at what
- you're drawing and just feel it.
- 803
- 00:59:12,810 --> 00:59:14,076
- - Feel this?
- - Yeah.
- 804
- 00:59:14,078 --> 00:59:15,479
- Let's draw the bite
- out of your apple.
- 805
- 00:59:15,481 --> 00:59:16,546
- Mmm.
- 806
- 00:59:16,548 --> 00:59:18,548
- It's gonna fall.
- 807
- 00:59:22,220 --> 00:59:24,287
- Now you gotta
- wear it till it falls off.
- 808
- 00:59:24,289 --> 00:59:27,257
- Uh, fire, and that's earth,
- and this is air.
- 809
- 00:59:27,259 --> 00:59:28,993
- My tooth went through my lip.
- 810
- 00:59:28,995 --> 00:59:31,128
- Get something out of it.
- 811
- 00:59:31,130 --> 00:59:32,899
- It's kind of
- Wonder Woman-ey.
- 812
- 01:00:46,544 --> 01:00:47,546
- Hello?
- 813
- 01:00:48,513 --> 01:00:50,082
- Yeah, that's me.
- 814
- 01:00:53,587 --> 01:00:56,121
- What are you talking about?
- That doesn't make any sense.
- 815
- 01:00:56,123 --> 01:00:58,525
- No, we gave you
- all of our data. It's been...
- 816
- 01:00:59,493 --> 01:01:01,692
- Go back. Take a look. Hello?
- 817
- 01:01:01,694 --> 01:01:03,064
- Hello?
- 818
- 01:01:04,298 --> 01:01:07,133
- What's going on?
- 819
- 01:01:07,135 --> 01:01:09,702
- Somebody discovered our planet
- candidate using the TESS data
- 820
- 01:01:09,704 --> 01:01:12,571
- and they submitted it
- a week before us.
- 821
- 01:01:12,573 --> 01:01:15,275
- Some guy from Ladakh, India,
- 822
- 01:01:15,277 --> 01:01:16,643
- is gonna be credited
- with our discovery.
- 823
- 01:01:16,645 --> 01:01:17,710
- - Not us.
- - Okay.
- 824
- 01:01:17,712 --> 01:01:19,612
- But we still found it, right?
- 825
- 01:01:19,614 --> 01:01:22,014
- I mean, it doesn't really
- matter whose name goes on what.
- 826
- 01:01:22,016 --> 01:01:24,351
- Yes, yes, yes it does!
- It really does.
- 827
- 01:01:24,353 --> 01:01:25,686
- It means that we're
- not gonna be a part
- 828
- 01:01:25,688 --> 01:01:27,387
- of the next couple
- of years of analysis.
- 829
- 01:01:27,389 --> 01:01:28,990
- What do you mean
- the next couple of years?
- 830
- 01:01:28,992 --> 01:01:30,658
- And if they find signs of life?
- 831
- 01:01:30,660 --> 01:01:32,596
- We're definitely not
- gonna be a part of that.
- 832
- 01:01:33,128 --> 01:01:34,495
- Okay.
- 833
- 01:01:34,497 --> 01:01:36,396
- Well, then why don't we
- just find another candidate?
- 834
- 01:01:36,398 --> 01:01:38,166
- - Just start the whole process over.
- - No, no, Clara, stop!
- 835
- 01:01:38,168 --> 01:01:39,234
- Stop! Stop!
- 836
- 01:01:39,236 --> 01:01:41,370
- At this point, finding a better
- planet candidate
- 837
- 01:01:41,372 --> 01:01:44,109
- in time for James Webb
- is basically impossible.
- 838
- 01:01:45,442 --> 01:01:46,511
- Isaac.
- 839
- 01:01:47,377 --> 01:01:48,680
- It's over.
- 840
- 01:01:50,715 --> 01:01:51,950
- It's over.
- 841
- 01:01:57,722 --> 01:02:01,191
- We made our most
- intriguing discovery so far.
- 842
- 01:02:01,193 --> 01:02:03,393
- Uh, TESS 421a.
- 843
- 01:02:03,395 --> 01:02:06,062
- And 421a,
- it orbits an M dwarf.
- 844
- 01:02:06,064 --> 01:02:08,031
- Uh, it's in
- the Goldilocks zone
- 845
- 01:02:08,033 --> 01:02:09,567
- where the temperature,
- 846
- 01:02:09,569 --> 01:02:11,335
- you know, is just
- right for liquid water.
- 847
- 01:02:11,337 --> 01:02:13,004
- It's about
- 20 light-years away.
- 848
- 01:02:13,006 --> 01:02:16,007
- And, uh, its size
- is closer to Earth's
- 849
- 01:02:16,009 --> 01:02:18,110
- than any other
- planet recorded.
- 850
- 01:02:18,112 --> 01:02:20,045
- Has TESS
- found any initial evidence
- 851
- 01:02:20,047 --> 01:02:22,079
- to suggest that there
- is life on this planet?
- 852
- 01:02:22,081 --> 01:02:25,383
- Uh, no, that's not
- the primary objective of TESS.
- 853
- 01:02:25,385 --> 01:02:28,553
- I mean, we're merely
- an Earth survey mission
- 854
- 01:02:28,555 --> 01:02:30,191
- to search for
- Earth-like planets.
- 855
- 01:02:31,693 --> 01:02:34,259
- Webb's infrared capabilities
- will allow us...
- 856
- 01:02:34,261 --> 01:02:37,430
- The objective of TESS is to
- find Earth-like planets.
- 857
- 01:02:37,432 --> 01:02:40,467
- ...its atmosphere will
- determine composition,
- 858
- 01:02:40,469 --> 01:02:43,072
- identify bio-signature gases...
- 859
- 01:02:46,541 --> 01:02:50,076
- Wait. Everyone is looking
- for Earth-like planets.
- 860
- 01:02:50,078 --> 01:02:53,113
- They're all... They're all looking
- for circumstances that are right,
- 861
- 01:02:53,115 --> 01:02:54,816
- but what...
- 862
- 01:02:54,818 --> 01:02:57,088
- What if we look
- for things that are wrong?
- 863
- 01:02:58,321 --> 01:02:59,520
- What do you mean?
- 864
- 01:02:59,522 --> 01:03:01,823
- Even if a planet has life,
- 865
- 01:03:01,825 --> 01:03:04,159
- it could just be microbial,
- it would be too small.
- 866
- 01:03:04,161 --> 01:03:05,395
- We wouldn't be able to see it.
- 867
- 01:03:05,397 --> 01:03:07,596
- The only way to truly know if
- we find an advanced species
- 868
- 01:03:07,598 --> 01:03:09,732
- is to see the result
- of their existence.
- 869
- 01:03:09,734 --> 01:03:11,634
- Atmospheres affected
- by fossil fuels
- 870
- 01:03:11,636 --> 01:03:14,437
- or large mega-structures that
- are big enough to make a transit.
- 871
- 01:03:14,439 --> 01:03:16,840
- Or, uh, uh,
- solar energy harvesting.
- 872
- 01:03:16,842 --> 01:03:18,175
- You know, footprints.
- 873
- 01:03:18,177 --> 01:03:19,843
- The older and more
- evolved civilizations
- 874
- 01:03:19,845 --> 01:03:22,548
- are bound to have produced
- unnatural phenomena.
- 875
- 01:03:24,682 --> 01:03:25,784
- Anomalies.
- 876
- 01:03:26,819 --> 01:03:28,552
- How would we even start?
- 877
- 01:03:28,554 --> 01:03:30,524
- We download the next
- batch of TESS data
- 878
- 01:03:31,390 --> 01:03:33,126
- and we go through all of it.
- 879
- 01:03:33,759 --> 01:03:35,859
- Process of elimination.
- 880
- 01:03:52,279 --> 01:03:53,679
- Okay.
- 881
- 01:03:53,681 --> 01:03:54,746
- I'm done being a hermit.
- 882
- 01:03:54,748 --> 01:03:56,216
- I need to get out
- of this apartment.
- 883
- 01:03:56,218 --> 01:03:58,250
- Uh, I'm, I'm making
- real progress here.
- 884
- 01:03:58,252 --> 01:03:59,319
- Come on, just...
- 885
- 01:03:59,321 --> 01:04:00,589
- I'm sorry. I can't tonight.
- 886
- 01:04:07,262 --> 01:04:10,166
- Okay, well, I'm going out.
- 887
- 01:04:12,501 --> 01:04:14,803
- - What?
- - I'm going out.
- 888
- 01:04:14,805 --> 01:04:16,473
- - Where?
- - Dancing.
- 889
- 01:05:45,736 --> 01:05:47,238
- You need a Tylenol
- or something?
- 890
- 01:05:47,605 --> 01:05:48,640
- Mmm-mmm.
- 891
- 01:05:51,409 --> 01:05:52,510
- What are you doing?
- 892
- 01:05:54,813 --> 01:05:56,479
- Uh...
- 893
- 01:05:56,481 --> 01:05:58,648
- Drawing... Evolution.
- 894
- 01:05:58,650 --> 01:06:01,320
- Huh. Nice.
- 895
- 01:06:07,627 --> 01:06:10,263
- You know, Eeva's much
- closer to me these days.
- 896
- 01:06:11,464 --> 01:06:12,629
- Oh, yeah?
- 897
- 01:06:12,631 --> 01:06:14,999
- When I found her,
- she was a stray,
- 898
- 01:06:15,001 --> 01:06:16,904
- just wandering
- without a home.
- 899
- 01:06:19,672 --> 01:06:21,875
- Maybe it's her who found me.
- 900
- 01:06:24,344 --> 01:06:25,846
- Maybe I'm a stray.
- 901
- 01:06:27,414 --> 01:06:28,816
- Holy shit!
- 902
- 01:06:30,584 --> 01:06:31,852
- I think I found something.
- 903
- 01:06:35,455 --> 01:06:36,658
- I found something.
- 904
- 01:06:39,460 --> 01:06:40,726
- What am I
- looking at here?
- 905
- 01:06:40,728 --> 01:06:41,830
- You'll see it.
- 906
- 01:06:42,630 --> 01:06:43,933
- This is bad data.
- 907
- 01:06:45,301 --> 01:06:47,434
- What are you talking
- about? Look at this.
- 908
- 01:06:47,436 --> 01:06:49,469
- The data captured
- over these days...
- 909
- 01:06:49,471 --> 01:06:51,939
- Look at the strange, periodic
- dimming of the light.
- 910
- 01:06:51,941 --> 01:06:53,975
- That suggests
- strategically scattered
- 911
- 01:06:53,977 --> 01:06:55,376
- objects orbiting that star.
- 912
- 01:06:55,378 --> 01:06:56,843
- This is too intentional
- to be debris.
- 913
- 01:06:56,845 --> 01:06:58,680
- This could be some
- sort of partial Dyson sphere.
- 914
- 01:06:58,682 --> 01:07:01,582
- Some advanced civilization
- harvesting their star's energy.
- 915
- 01:07:01,584 --> 01:07:03,585
- Charlie, would you
- look at this?
- 916
- 01:07:03,587 --> 01:07:05,386
- You know aliens are always the last
- thing we're supposed to consider, right?
- 917
- 01:07:05,388 --> 01:07:07,355
- Charlie, this is
- not natural, man.
- 918
- 01:07:07,357 --> 01:07:09,090
- It's bad data.
- 919
- 01:07:09,092 --> 01:07:10,726
- There was movement
- on the spacecraft.
- 920
- 01:07:10,728 --> 01:07:12,561
- This batch
- is riddled with errors.
- 921
- 01:07:12,563 --> 01:07:13,795
- I'm surprised
- you don't know that.
- 922
- 01:07:13,797 --> 01:07:15,467
- Oh, shit.
- 923
- 01:07:16,802 --> 01:07:18,501
- I think you might be
- too close to this.
- 924
- 01:07:19,838 --> 01:07:21,003
- Is everything okay?
- 925
- 01:07:21,005 --> 01:07:23,807
- Hey, I heard you were,
- uh, under the weather.
- 926
- 01:07:23,809 --> 01:07:24,974
- You look like
- you're on the mend.
- 927
- 01:07:24,976 --> 01:07:26,810
- Uh, not really,
- 928
- 01:07:26,812 --> 01:07:29,045
- but I just came in here
- to get a glass of water
- 929
- 01:07:29,047 --> 01:07:31,051
- and then I'm gonna
- go back to bed.
- 930
- 01:07:34,587 --> 01:07:35,986
- How's Maya?
- 931
- 01:07:35,988 --> 01:07:38,523
- Uh, good, good. I mean, Maya's
- a little nuts, you know.
- 932
- 01:07:38,525 --> 01:07:39,758
- It's kinda hard
- to get any sleep
- 933
- 01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:41,892
- when the baby's crying
- every seventh minute.
- 934
- 01:07:41,894 --> 01:07:43,794
- Mmm-hmm.
- - I'm afraid I'm gonna come home one day
- 935
- 01:07:43,796 --> 01:07:45,697
- and she's gonna have a note
- taped to the kid's forehead
- 936
- 01:07:45,699 --> 01:07:47,965
- that says she's
- moved to Puerto Plata
- 937
- 01:07:47,967 --> 01:07:49,901
- and she was never
- really into dad-bod.
- 938
- 01:07:49,903 --> 01:07:51,571
- Come on.
- 939
- 01:07:51,573 --> 01:07:52,638
- But besides that, we're good.
- 940
- 01:07:54,575 --> 01:07:57,442
- Well, if she needs
- a tour guide,
- 941
- 01:07:57,444 --> 01:07:58,944
- just toss her my way.
- 942
- 01:07:58,946 --> 01:08:01,580
- I guess sometimes
- I miss being on the move.
- 943
- 01:08:01,582 --> 01:08:03,419
- - Goodnight, you guys.
- - Hey, goodnight.
- 944
- 01:08:09,692 --> 01:08:11,090
- Hey!
- 945
- 01:08:11,092 --> 01:08:12,626
- What the hell's
- the matter with you?
- 946
- 01:08:12,628 --> 01:08:14,662
- Come on, Charlie,
- not now, please.
- 947
- 01:08:14,664 --> 01:08:17,432
- She's sick and you're
- looking at shit data?
- 948
- 01:08:17,434 --> 01:08:19,533
- You should be
- making her soup.
- 949
- 01:08:19,535 --> 01:08:21,102
- You spend all your time
- looking up at the stars,
- 950
- 01:08:21,104 --> 01:08:22,703
- you're gonna miss what's
- right in front of you.
- 951
- 01:08:22,705 --> 01:08:24,805
- Again.
- 952
- 01:08:24,807 --> 01:08:26,841
- All right? This whole hiatus
- thing bore fruit, right?
- 953
- 01:08:26,843 --> 01:08:29,011
- You met Clara.
- You got closure with Rebecca.
- 954
- 01:08:29,013 --> 01:08:30,712
- I mean, she's moving on
- with her life.
- 955
- 01:08:30,714 --> 01:08:31,916
- You deserve that, too.
- 956
- 01:08:33,918 --> 01:08:34,953
- What do you mean by that?
- 957
- 01:08:36,486 --> 01:08:39,155
- She got in touch with Maya
- 958
- 01:08:39,157 --> 01:08:40,992
- to say congratulations
- on the baby.
- 959
- 01:08:42,527 --> 01:08:44,561
- And?
- 960
- 01:08:44,563 --> 01:08:47,800
- And she asked our opinions on
- the best online baby registries.
- 961
- 01:09:18,133 --> 01:09:19,468
- Hey.
- 962
- 01:09:24,039 --> 01:09:26,739
- Oh, I mean, you don't
- have to stop. I...
- 963
- 01:09:26,741 --> 01:09:27,776
- It's fine.
- 964
- 01:09:36,018 --> 01:09:37,487
- How are you feeling?
- 965
- 01:09:39,656 --> 01:09:41,058
- You don't have
- to worry about me.
- 966
- 01:09:44,495 --> 01:09:45,830
- But I do.
- 967
- 01:09:52,636 --> 01:09:53,805
- This is for you.
- 968
- 01:09:55,139 --> 01:09:56,675
- It's not great.
- 969
- 01:09:59,810 --> 01:10:01,643
- I tried to do
- everything you told me.
- 970
- 01:10:01,645 --> 01:10:05,617
- I got charcoal
- all over my hands.
- 971
- 01:10:08,887 --> 01:10:12,188
- I just figured, you know, you're
- never in any of your own sketches.
- 972
- 01:10:12,190 --> 01:10:14,994
- You're always busy
- observing everything else.
- 973
- 01:10:17,763 --> 01:10:19,599
- I just wanted to
- let you know that...
- 974
- 01:10:23,536 --> 01:10:24,771
- I see you.
- 975
- 01:10:31,144 --> 01:10:34,549
- And I know I've been
- distracted lately.
- 976
- 01:10:39,988 --> 01:10:42,958
- I've been thinking about that
- look on Charlie's face when he...
- 977
- 01:10:45,594 --> 01:10:47,697
- When he was holding
- his baby for the first time.
- 978
- 01:10:48,729 --> 01:10:51,665
- Everything just
- made sense to him.
- 979
- 01:10:51,667 --> 01:10:53,736
- And I realized that
- all this time, I...
- 980
- 01:10:57,105 --> 01:10:59,742
- I've just been
- chasing that look.
- 981
- 01:11:02,245 --> 01:11:04,712
- I thought that this,
- all of this, you know,
- 982
- 01:11:04,714 --> 01:11:07,886
- the work, I thought that maybe
- if I could find life somewhere,
- 983
- 01:11:10,186 --> 01:11:12,720
- if I could just find something
- living, then maybe...
- 984
- 01:11:12,722 --> 01:11:13,992
- Isaac...
- 985
- 01:11:21,266 --> 01:11:22,968
- I think it's time to give up.
- 986
- 01:11:25,102 --> 01:11:27,106
- - I tried but I failed.
- - Get up.
- 987
- 01:11:28,107 --> 01:11:29,807
- - Come on.
- - What?
- 988
- 01:11:29,809 --> 01:11:31,709
- Come on, get up.
- 989
- 01:11:31,711 --> 01:11:33,677
- Look, we are going to try
- to find something tonight,
- 990
- 01:11:33,679 --> 01:11:34,911
- but this time no more data.
- 991
- 01:11:34,913 --> 01:11:37,847
- I need you to trust something
- more than just your eyes.
- 992
- 01:11:37,849 --> 01:11:39,384
- I don't understand.
- 993
- 01:11:39,386 --> 01:11:42,320
- You said that there was a virtual map
- created from the TESS data, right?
- 994
- 01:11:42,322 --> 01:11:45,022
- Yes, but only two batches
- of data have been released...
- 995
- 01:11:45,024 --> 01:11:47,258
- Set it up.
- 996
- 01:11:51,231 --> 01:11:52,868
- We're gonna pick a star.
- 997
- 01:11:55,369 --> 01:11:56,769
- At random?
- 998
- 01:11:56,771 --> 01:11:58,874
- No, not at random.
- 999
- 01:12:00,141 --> 01:12:01,243
- Give me your hand.
- 1000
- 01:12:04,045 --> 01:12:05,080
- Here.
- 1001
- 01:12:09,351 --> 01:12:11,054
- I want you to see what I see.
- 1002
- 01:12:12,321 --> 01:12:14,355
- - What?
- - You said it yourself.
- 1003
- 01:12:14,357 --> 01:12:15,989
- Right? We're dust.
- 1004
- 01:12:15,991 --> 01:12:18,125
- We're made up of the same stuff
- that this universe is.
- 1005
- 01:12:18,127 --> 01:12:20,061
- You're not just in it,
- Isaac. It's in you.
- 1006
- 01:12:20,063 --> 01:12:22,096
- So find it.
- 1007
- 01:12:22,098 --> 01:12:23,968
- - Use it.
- - Clara, this is crazy.
- 1008
- 01:12:24,968 --> 01:12:26,037
- Trust me.
- 1009
- 01:12:30,241 --> 01:12:31,242
- All right.
- 1010
- 01:12:32,342 --> 01:12:33,345
- I'll try.
- 1011
- 01:12:34,845 --> 01:12:35,981
- Close your eyes.
- 1012
- 01:12:37,348 --> 01:12:39,185
- - Come on...
- - Close them.
- 1013
- 01:12:48,793 --> 01:12:50,230
- Let yourself drift...
- 1014
- 01:12:57,203 --> 01:12:58,739
- To where you've been...
- 1015
- 01:13:10,284 --> 01:13:12,152
- And where you can go next.
- 1016
- 01:14:20,225 --> 01:14:21,228
- Turn it off.
- 1017
- 01:14:30,136 --> 01:14:32,004
- Isaac...
- 1018
- 01:14:32,006 --> 01:14:34,072
- I can't believe
- I let you talk me into that.
- 1019
- 01:14:37,310 --> 01:14:40,279
- I saw you feel something.
- You just need to try...
- 1020
- 01:14:40,281 --> 01:14:41,816
- When are you going to get it?
- 1021
- 01:14:43,250 --> 01:14:45,952
- You want the world to be this
- magical, connected place,
- 1022
- 01:14:45,954 --> 01:14:47,420
- but you know that it's not.
- 1023
- 01:14:47,422 --> 01:14:48,488
- And so you sugarcoat it
- 1024
- 01:14:48,490 --> 01:14:50,524
- with these
- bullshit philosophies.
- 1025
- 01:14:50,526 --> 01:14:51,958
- Because the truth is
- 1026
- 01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:53,927
- you can't stand it
- just like the rest of us.
- 1027
- 01:14:53,929 --> 01:14:55,895
- Isaac, I saw you feel
- something back there.
- 1028
- 01:14:55,897 --> 01:14:57,463
- I saw you feel something
- inside of yourself
- 1029
- 01:14:57,465 --> 01:14:59,499
- that you couldn't explain,
- so what do you do?
- 1030
- 01:14:59,501 --> 01:15:01,235
- You reject it
- because you can't prove it.
- 1031
- 01:15:01,237 --> 01:15:02,870
- - No, because...
- - You trust your data
- 1032
- 01:15:02,872 --> 01:15:04,205
- more than you
- trust yourself. It's sad.
- 1033
- 01:15:04,207 --> 01:15:06,376
- - Because I'm objective!
- - No. Because you're lost.
- 1034
- 01:15:10,947 --> 01:15:12,246
- And I care about you.
- 1035
- 01:15:12,248 --> 01:15:14,250
- And all I wanted to do was...
- 1036
- 01:15:14,252 --> 01:15:16,451
- What, you wanted to make me
- another chapter in your scrapbook?
- 1037
- 01:15:16,453 --> 01:15:18,019
- - Come on.
- - Huh?
- 1038
- 01:15:18,021 --> 01:15:19,988
- You wanted to have
- some great experience
- 1039
- 01:15:19,990 --> 01:15:21,924
- and then up and leave
- just like you always do?
- 1040
- 01:15:21,926 --> 01:15:23,092
- - No...
- - It's like you said,
- 1041
- 01:15:23,094 --> 01:15:24,960
- you missed being
- on the move, right?
- 1042
- 01:15:26,598 --> 01:15:28,267
- You wanna talk about trust?
- 1043
- 01:15:32,171 --> 01:15:33,439
- I trusted you.
- 1044
- 01:15:34,573 --> 01:15:36,372
- Right up until the moment
- that I realized
- 1045
- 01:15:36,374 --> 01:15:38,943
- that I'm just a pit stop on
- your way to somewhere else.
- 1046
- 01:15:40,946 --> 01:15:41,949
- Isaac...
- 1047
- 01:15:52,926 --> 01:15:54,325
- Eva.
- 1048
- 01:15:54,327 --> 01:15:55,494
- Come on, girl,
- I wanna go.
- 1049
- 01:15:55,496 --> 01:15:57,098
- Eva!
- 1050
- 01:15:59,233 --> 01:16:00,365
- Where is she?
- 1051
- 01:16:00,367 --> 01:16:01,566
- Clara, she's right there.
- 1052
- 01:16:03,639 --> 01:16:04,907
- Eva?
- 1053
- 01:16:06,041 --> 01:16:07,641
- - What's going on?
- - Eva?
- 1054
- 01:16:07,643 --> 01:16:09,375
- Clara! Clara!
- 1055
- 01:16:09,377 --> 01:16:11,010
- - Eva...
- - Clara? Hey, hey, hey!
- 1056
- 01:16:11,012 --> 01:16:12,279
- - What, what is happening?
- - Isaac...
- 1057
- 01:16:12,281 --> 01:16:13,346
- What's happening?
- 1058
- 01:16:13,348 --> 01:16:14,482
- I don't know where I'm going.
- 1059
- 01:16:14,484 --> 01:16:15,549
- Clara! Stop, stop!
- 1060
- 01:16:15,551 --> 01:16:16,917
- Hey, no, no!
- 1061
- 01:16:16,919 --> 01:16:18,286
- No, no, no.
- No, no, no, no...
- 1062
- 01:16:18,288 --> 01:16:20,321
- Clara, wake up! Clara!
- 1063
- 01:16:20,323 --> 01:16:23,160
- Help! Help! Clara!
- 1064
- 01:16:36,139 --> 01:16:37,307
- Mr. Bruno?
- 1065
- 01:16:37,976 --> 01:16:39,277
- She's awake now.
- 1066
- 01:16:43,314 --> 01:16:44,450
- What's wrong with her?
- 1067
- 01:16:45,649 --> 01:16:46,951
- We, um...
- 1068
- 01:16:48,954 --> 01:16:51,224
- We think it's some sort of
- rare auto immune disease.
- 1069
- 01:16:52,558 --> 01:16:54,057
- Her skin is being affected,
- 1070
- 01:16:54,059 --> 01:16:55,426
- her muscles are atrophying.
- 1071
- 01:16:55,428 --> 01:16:57,093
- Her connective tissue's
- breaking down
- 1072
- 01:16:57,095 --> 01:16:58,995
- and her organs...
- 1073
- 01:16:58,997 --> 01:17:01,432
- It's her heart, her lungs,
- her kidneys,
- 1074
- 01:17:01,434 --> 01:17:02,968
- they've been failing
- for some time now.
- 1075
- 01:17:02,970 --> 01:17:05,539
- No, no. This, this doesn't
- make any sense. She...
- 1076
- 01:17:08,108 --> 01:17:11,142
- She...
- She's been tired. She's...
- 1077
- 01:17:11,144 --> 01:17:12,210
- Been a little under
- the weather.
- 1078
- 01:17:12,212 --> 01:17:13,447
- Other than that,
- she's been fine.
- 1079
- 01:17:14,115 --> 01:17:15,680
- Fine?
- 1080
- 01:17:15,682 --> 01:17:17,116
- The state that you
- brought her in here,
- 1081
- 01:17:17,118 --> 01:17:18,954
- I'm surprised
- she can even walk and talk.
- 1082
- 01:17:20,187 --> 01:17:22,121
- The corticosteroid
- she was taking
- 1083
- 01:17:22,123 --> 01:17:24,359
- might have relieved
- her symptoms, but...
- 1084
- 01:17:26,594 --> 01:17:29,231
- Mr. Bruno, it was only
- a matter of time.
- 1085
- 01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:32,399
- We'll do what
- we can for Claira.
- 1086
- 01:17:32,401 --> 01:17:33,436
- Clara.
- 1087
- 01:17:34,503 --> 01:17:36,306
- I'm sorry. Clara.
- 1088
- 01:17:54,524 --> 01:17:55,960
- Why didn't you tell me?
- 1089
- 01:17:57,795 --> 01:17:59,596
- It wouldn't have
- made any difference.
- 1090
- 01:18:02,100 --> 01:18:04,070
- I was always
- gonna end up here.
- 1091
- 01:18:23,121 --> 01:18:24,223
- I brought you these.
- 1092
- 01:18:41,576 --> 01:18:43,145
- I don't wanna go.
- 1093
- 01:18:47,282 --> 01:18:49,150
- I really wanna stay.
- 1094
- 01:18:50,285 --> 01:18:51,384
- I wanna stay.
- 1095
- 01:18:51,386 --> 01:18:52,486
- Hey, hey.
- 1096
- 01:18:52,488 --> 01:18:53,719
- I wanna stay.
- 1097
- 01:18:53,721 --> 01:18:55,789
- You're not going anywhere.
- 1098
- 01:18:59,662 --> 01:19:02,266
- Because there is nowhere
- for me to go, right?
- 1099
- 01:19:05,634 --> 01:19:07,070
- I didn't say that.
- 1100
- 01:19:10,307 --> 01:19:12,309
- I'm sorry.
- 1101
- 01:19:18,549 --> 01:19:19,651
- I'm sorry.
- 1102
- 01:19:29,127 --> 01:19:31,063
- Pretty entangled, huh?
- 1103
- 01:19:37,636 --> 01:19:38,704
- Yeah.
- 1104
- 01:19:55,722 --> 01:19:56,790
- Clara?
- 1105
- 01:19:58,792 --> 01:20:00,128
- What are you doing?
- 1106
- 01:20:01,227 --> 01:20:03,231
- I don't need to
- move them anymore.
- 1107
- 01:20:05,666 --> 01:20:06,669
- What?
- 1108
- 01:20:16,245 --> 01:20:17,747
- You gotta rest, okay?
- 1109
- 01:20:20,183 --> 01:20:22,119
- Just remember them like that.
- 1110
- 01:20:23,619 --> 01:20:24,754
- For me.
- 1111
- 01:20:25,622 --> 01:20:28,126
- Yeah. I will.
- 1112
- 01:21:01,827 --> 01:21:02,830
- Clara?
- 1113
- 01:21:04,563 --> 01:21:05,699
- Isaac?
- 1114
- 01:21:10,736 --> 01:21:12,770
- No, no. Something's wrong.
- Something's wrong.
- 1115
- 01:21:12,772 --> 01:21:14,539
- Nurse? Hey, nurse?
- 1116
- 01:21:14,541 --> 01:21:17,775
- Nurse! Hey. Hey,
- something's wrong, okay?
- 1117
- 01:21:17,777 --> 01:21:19,747
- - I'll be right back.
- - Don't go. Don't go.
- 1118
- 01:21:22,383 --> 01:21:24,920
- I wish I could see your
- face when you see it.
- 1119
- 01:21:27,389 --> 01:21:28,687
- What?
- 1120
- 01:21:30,359 --> 01:21:32,525
- You're gonna
- have to stand aside...
- 1121
- 01:21:32,527 --> 01:21:34,593
- - Sir, step aside, please.
- - All right.
- 1122
- 01:21:34,595 --> 01:21:36,795
- Clara?
- 1123
- 01:21:36,797 --> 01:21:38,868
- Clara, can you
- hear me? Clara. Clara!
- 1124
- 01:21:40,270 --> 01:21:41,271
- Okay.
- 1125
- 01:21:54,651 --> 01:21:55,786
- Mr. Bruno?
- 1126
- 01:21:56,853 --> 01:21:57,922
- Mr. Bruno?
- 1127
- 01:22:01,291 --> 01:22:02,460
- Her belongings.
- 1128
- 01:22:10,868 --> 01:22:12,237
- I'm so sorry.
- 1129
- 01:25:39,829 --> 01:25:42,730
- I'd like to thank Dr. Rickman
- for coming here to speak with us today.
- 1130
- 01:25:42,732 --> 01:25:44,297
- Please. A round of applause.
- 1131
- 01:25:44,299 --> 01:25:46,600
- Thank you for being here, sir.
- Thank you so much.
- 1132
- 01:25:51,274 --> 01:25:53,941
- Um, can you excuse me
- for a second, Dr. Rickman?
- 1133
- 01:25:53,943 --> 01:25:55,309
- I'll be right back.
- 1134
- 01:25:55,311 --> 01:25:57,312
- Excuse me.
- 1135
- 01:25:57,314 --> 01:26:00,214
- Hey, Isaac, man,
- what are you doing here?
- 1136
- 01:26:00,216 --> 01:26:02,117
- You didn't return any
- of my calls. What's going on?
- 1137
- 01:26:02,119 --> 01:26:03,652
- I need to speak to Rickman.
- 1138
- 01:26:03,654 --> 01:26:05,121
- Jesus. You look like you
- haven't slept. Are you okay?
- 1139
- 01:26:05,123 --> 01:26:06,188
- I'm fine.
- 1140
- 01:26:06,190 --> 01:26:07,689
- Did they figure out
- what she had?
- 1141
- 01:26:07,691 --> 01:26:09,558
- Charlie, I'm serious.
- 1142
- 01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:11,227
- I need to speak
- to Rickman now.
- 1143
- 01:26:11,229 --> 01:26:12,827
- I don't think
- that's a good idea.
- 1144
- 01:26:12,829 --> 01:26:14,131
- - Charlie.
- - Isaac,
- 1145
- 01:26:14,133 --> 01:26:16,233
- you need to stop this.
- You are not thinking...
- 1146
- 01:26:16,235 --> 01:26:17,603
- This is real.
- 1147
- 01:26:19,804 --> 01:26:20,807
- Please.
- 1148
- 01:26:43,764 --> 01:26:47,231
- My wife's a huge fan.
- And so am I.
- 1149
- 01:26:47,233 --> 01:26:50,171
- Um, Dr, Rickman,
- this is Dr. Bruno.
- 1150
- 01:26:51,372 --> 01:26:53,872
- I thought you
- two should meet.
- 1151
- 01:26:53,874 --> 01:26:56,209
- Gentlemen, I have a plane to catch at 7:00.
- I haven't time for this.
- 1152
- 01:26:56,211 --> 01:26:59,646
- Dr. Rickman, please. I...
- 1153
- 01:26:59,648 --> 01:27:02,649
- I found an anomaly in the most
- recent batch of TESS data.
- 1154
- 01:27:02,651 --> 01:27:04,885
- What kind of an anomaly?
- 1155
- 01:27:04,887 --> 01:27:07,287
- Uh, it's a nearby system.
- Orange dwarf star.
- 1156
- 01:27:07,289 --> 01:27:09,189
- Jupiter mass planet
- orbiting just outside the...
- 1157
- 01:27:09,191 --> 01:27:11,925
- No, we're not interested in Jupiter masses.
- They're uninhabitable.
- 1158
- 01:27:11,927 --> 01:27:14,296
- Yes, but I think you
- might be interested
- 1159
- 01:27:14,298 --> 01:27:16,267
- in what I found
- orbiting with it.
- 1160
- 01:27:18,869 --> 01:27:21,039
- This step, right here.
- 1161
- 01:27:22,373 --> 01:27:24,741
- The algorithm skipped
- right over it, but I...
- 1162
- 01:27:26,111 --> 01:27:27,409
- I got lucky.
- 1163
- 01:27:27,411 --> 01:27:28,880
- Happened to notice it.
- 1164
- 01:27:29,813 --> 01:27:31,280
- It's most likely an exomoon,
- 1165
- 01:27:31,282 --> 01:27:34,883
- which is a nice find,
- Dr. Bruno,
- 1166
- 01:27:34,885 --> 01:27:36,185
- but it's nothing anomalous.
- 1167
- 01:27:36,187 --> 01:27:38,121
- That's what I thought.
- 1168
- 01:27:38,123 --> 01:27:40,991
- And then I accessed the
- online Kepler data archives
- 1169
- 01:27:40,993 --> 01:27:42,228
- and I found this.
- 1170
- 01:27:45,730 --> 01:27:47,164
- And this.
- 1171
- 01:27:47,166 --> 01:27:48,668
- And these.
- 1172
- 01:27:49,970 --> 01:27:52,103
- Multiple transits
- from this star
- 1173
- 01:27:52,105 --> 01:27:54,342
- with this same period.
- And this step...
- 1174
- 01:27:56,075 --> 01:27:58,913
- It's in the exact same spot
- relative to the planet.
- 1175
- 01:28:00,346 --> 01:28:01,716
- It's not a moon.
- 1176
- 01:28:03,084 --> 01:28:04,250
- I checked.
- 1177
- 01:28:04,252 --> 01:28:05,821
- And double-checked.
- 1178
- 01:28:06,420 --> 01:28:08,253
- And triple checked.
- 1179
- 01:28:08,255 --> 01:28:09,354
- This guy checks.
- 1180
- 01:28:09,356 --> 01:28:10,658
- Hmm.
- 1181
- 01:28:12,994 --> 01:28:15,127
- Hmm. All right.
- 1182
- 01:28:15,129 --> 01:28:17,666
- Looks like I'm
- missing my flight.
- 1183
- 01:28:28,278 --> 01:28:31,913
- You know, that whole aliens-are-the-last-
- thing-to-consider business
- 1184
- 01:28:31,915 --> 01:28:33,350
- is getting harder
- by the minute.
- 1185
- 01:28:34,783 --> 01:28:35,853
- Yup.
- 1186
- 01:28:39,390 --> 01:28:41,426
- Charlie, I got another
- favor to ask you.
- 1187
- 01:28:43,194 --> 01:28:44,796
- If this thing checks out,
- 1188
- 01:28:46,864 --> 01:28:48,233
- I want you to take
- the lead on it.
- 1189
- 01:28:49,834 --> 01:28:52,001
- What the hell are you
- talking about?
- 1190
- 01:28:52,003 --> 01:28:54,738
- This could save your career.
- This is your big discovery.
- 1191
- 01:28:54,740 --> 01:28:56,208
- No, it doesn't belong to me.
- 1192
- 01:28:57,141 --> 01:28:58,209
- It's hers.
- 1193
- 01:29:00,011 --> 01:29:02,049
- Well, that's why
- you should share it.
- 1194
- 01:29:02,815 --> 01:29:04,084
- I just did.
- 1195
- 01:29:06,919 --> 01:29:08,789
- Look, I'll see
- this part through.
- 1196
- 01:29:12,191 --> 01:29:13,991
- Besides, you'd
- look a lot better
- 1197
- 01:29:13,993 --> 01:29:15,162
- on the front
- of the paper anyway.
- 1198
- 01:29:20,434 --> 01:29:23,071
- Well, there is definitely...
- 1199
- 01:29:24,337 --> 01:29:25,808
- There is something there.
- 1200
- 01:29:27,007 --> 01:29:29,941
- But we vet the data
- with our full attention,
- 1201
- 01:29:29,943 --> 01:29:30,809
- but for now,
- 1202
- 01:29:30,811 --> 01:29:35,080
- we cannot draw
- any wild conclusions.
- 1203
- 01:29:35,082 --> 01:29:37,086
- With all due respect,
- Dr. Rickman,
- 1204
- 01:29:37,986 --> 01:29:39,088
- yes we can.
- 1205
- 01:29:40,522 --> 01:29:41,791
- Here.
- 1206
- 01:29:42,358 --> 01:29:43,359
- Look.
- 1207
- 01:29:48,096 --> 01:29:50,532
- This planet
- is orbiting the star
- 1208
- 01:29:50,534 --> 01:29:53,902
- just outside
- the habitable zone.
- 1209
- 01:29:53,904 --> 01:29:56,503
- Now this object
- is orbiting with the planet,
- 1210
- 01:29:56,505 --> 01:30:00,274
- but closer to the star, and
- inside the habitable zone.
- 1211
- 01:30:00,276 --> 01:30:01,944
- Now if we take
- gravitational pull
- 1212
- 01:30:01,946 --> 01:30:03,945
- and Lagrangian points
- into consideration,
- 1213
- 01:30:03,947 --> 01:30:06,515
- it seems fairly obvious
- that wherever this object is,
- 1214
- 01:30:06,517 --> 01:30:08,484
- it's stuck at the L1
- point of this planet.
- 1215
- 01:30:08,486 --> 01:30:10,319
- But L1 is unstable.
- 1216
- 01:30:10,321 --> 01:30:13,056
- I mean, if it ended up there,
- why hasn't it drifted off?
- 1217
- 01:30:13,058 --> 01:30:14,557
- So when we launch
- the James Webb,
- 1218
- 01:30:14,559 --> 01:30:16,860
- and it's orbiting Earth
- at our L2 point,
- 1219
- 01:30:16,862 --> 01:30:20,129
- which is also unstable,
- 1220
- 01:30:20,131 --> 01:30:21,530
- it's just going to drift off?
- 1221
- 01:30:21,532 --> 01:30:24,167
- No, I mean, everything
- we have at L1 and L2
- 1222
- 01:30:24,169 --> 01:30:26,103
- is an artificial satellite.
- 1223
- 01:30:26,105 --> 01:30:27,775
- They all have
- thrusters, they're...
- 1224
- 01:30:33,546 --> 01:30:35,880
- Under control.
- 1225
- 01:30:35,882 --> 01:30:39,387
- So, something
- is keeping it there.
- 1226
- 01:31:07,550 --> 01:31:08,982
- Good morning,
- everyone.
- 1227
- 01:31:08,984 --> 01:31:10,618
- Or good afternoon
- or evening
- 1228
- 01:31:10,620 --> 01:31:14,556
- to many of you who are watching
- this from around the world.
- 1229
- 01:31:14,558 --> 01:31:17,625
- Fifty years ago, we sent
- astronauts to the moon,
- 1230
- 01:31:17,627 --> 01:31:20,495
- as the whole world watched.
- 1231
- 01:31:20,497 --> 01:31:23,898
- And then after that
- we stopped watching.
- 1232
- 01:31:23,900 --> 01:31:26,035
- We stopped looking up.
- 1233
- 01:31:26,037 --> 01:31:29,471
- Well, not everyone,
- but we as a species,
- 1234
- 01:31:29,473 --> 01:31:32,375
- we lost interest
- in what was above us.
- 1235
- 01:31:32,377 --> 01:31:36,511
- But in recent years
- that has begun to change.
- 1236
- 01:31:36,513 --> 01:31:38,982
- Finding flowing water
- on Mars,
- 1237
- 01:31:38,984 --> 01:31:41,083
- soon sending men
- and women to live there,
- 1238
- 01:31:41,085 --> 01:31:43,552
- space is once again
- uniting us
- 1239
- 01:31:43,554 --> 01:31:46,622
- as curious human beings.
- 1240
- 01:31:46,624 --> 01:31:50,096
- Well, today, our curiosity
- 1241
- 01:31:50,563 --> 01:31:52,462
- has paid off.
- 1242
- 01:31:52,464 --> 01:31:54,498
- Ladies and gentlemen,
- let me present first,
- 1243
- 01:31:54,500 --> 01:31:56,637
- TESS-1417.
- 1244
- 01:31:58,338 --> 01:31:59,939
- It's 200 light-years away.
- 1245
- 01:32:01,041 --> 01:32:03,342
- It's home to four exoplanets,
- 1246
- 01:32:03,344 --> 01:32:05,413
- one of them a Jupiter mass.
- 1247
- 01:32:06,080 --> 01:32:08,250
- And then, this.
- 1248
- 01:32:09,149 --> 01:32:11,450
- It's a large object.
- 1249
- 01:32:11,452 --> 01:32:14,420
- It orbits with the planet
- 1250
- 01:32:14,422 --> 01:32:18,290
- within the habitable zone.
- 1251
- 01:32:18,292 --> 01:32:19,960
- For the
- past two years,
- 1252
- 01:32:19,962 --> 01:32:22,394
- SETI has monitored
- the constant radio signal
- 1253
- 01:32:22,396 --> 01:32:24,697
- created by the
- object's presence.
- 1254
- 01:32:24,699 --> 01:32:28,269
- Although nothing in the
- signal suggests communication,
- 1255
- 01:32:28,271 --> 01:32:32,340
- there are frequent shifts that
- indicate the object's movements.
- 1256
- 01:32:32,342 --> 01:32:36,113
- It adjusts itself
- with the utmost precision.
- 1257
- 01:32:37,380 --> 01:32:39,114
- And therefore
- we have concluded
- 1258
- 01:32:39,116 --> 01:32:42,050
- that this artificial object,
- 1259
- 01:32:42,052 --> 01:32:44,218
- it's the result
- of intelligent life.
- 1260
- 01:32:48,491 --> 01:32:50,226
- The panel
- will now take questions.
- 1261
- 01:32:50,228 --> 01:32:51,561
- Uh, yes.
- 1262
- 01:32:51,563 --> 01:32:52,628
- Can you elaborate
- 1263
- 01:32:52,630 --> 01:32:56,098
- on what you believe this
- "artificial object" to be?
- 1264
- 01:32:56,100 --> 01:32:57,400
- We cannot begin to comprehend
- 1265
- 01:32:57,402 --> 01:32:59,569
- the architecture
- of an object this large,
- 1266
- 01:32:59,571 --> 01:33:01,338
- but it does not
- change the fact
- 1267
- 01:33:01,340 --> 01:33:04,644
- that this mega-structure
- is being commandeered.
- 1268
- 01:33:06,078 --> 01:33:08,077
- We believe it to be some
- sort of space station.
- 1269
- 01:33:16,522 --> 01:33:19,791
- Isaac finally picks the
- right star and all this happens.
- 1270
- 01:33:19,793 --> 01:33:22,059
- It's crazy, right?
- 1271
- 01:33:22,061 --> 01:33:24,164
- You still never told me
- how he did it.
- 1272
- 01:33:25,199 --> 01:33:26,969
- I guess he just knew
- where to look.
- 1273
- 01:33:36,410 --> 01:33:38,177
- What are you
- thinking about?
- 1274
- 01:33:39,714 --> 01:33:41,283
- It's all just luck.
- 1275
- 01:33:44,152 --> 01:33:47,255
- This is this total
- cosmic accident.
- 1276
- 01:33:52,629 --> 01:33:54,829
- What are these rocks you
- take everywhere with you?
- 1277
- 01:33:59,234 --> 01:34:00,603
- They're my
- pieces of home.
- 1278
- 01:34:09,113 --> 01:34:10,615
- Oh, my God.
- 1279
- 01:34:15,387 --> 01:34:18,190
- It's seems too beautiful
- to just be random.
- 1280
- 01:34:20,459 --> 01:34:22,061
- This one will be
- both of ours.
- 1281
- 01:34:29,201 --> 01:34:30,301
- Isaac?
- 1282
- 01:34:39,779 --> 01:34:42,683
- I wish I could see your
- face when you see it.
- 1283
- 01:36:42,511 --> 01:36:43,648
- Isaac.
- 1284
- 01:36:49,686 --> 01:36:51,853
- - How are you?
- - Good.
- 1285
- 01:36:51,855 --> 01:36:53,322
- How's your son?
- 1286
- 01:36:53,324 --> 01:36:54,489
- Great.
- 1287
- 01:36:54,491 --> 01:36:56,524
- Paul will be two
- in a couple of weeks.
- 1288
- 01:36:56,526 --> 01:36:57,926
- He's getting big.
- 1289
- 01:36:57,928 --> 01:36:59,730
- Wow.
- 1290
- 01:37:01,299 --> 01:37:03,468
- Sorry for being
- so cryptic on the phone.
- 1291
- 01:37:04,637 --> 01:37:06,036
- First contact isn't something
- 1292
- 01:37:06,038 --> 01:37:08,273
- you spill the beans about
- in an open line.
- 1293
- 01:37:09,607 --> 01:37:10,774
- They made contact?
- 1294
- 01:37:10,776 --> 01:37:11,911
- That's what it seems.
- 1295
- 01:37:13,412 --> 01:37:15,480
- Two weeks ago,
- an electron spin detector
- 1296
- 01:37:15,482 --> 01:37:17,582
- at Los Alamos was
- observing a particle
- 1297
- 01:37:17,584 --> 01:37:19,683
- for an unrelated project.
- 1298
- 01:37:19,685 --> 01:37:22,552
- The particle started
- spinning bizarrely.
- 1299
- 01:37:22,554 --> 01:37:25,290
- Soon we realized
- it was being manipulated
- 1300
- 01:37:25,292 --> 01:37:27,692
- to get our attention.
- 1301
- 01:37:27,694 --> 01:37:29,995
- They must have
- exploited entanglement
- 1302
- 01:37:29,997 --> 01:37:32,431
- - to instantly send us data through quantum states.
- - Wait, wait, wait.
- 1303
- 01:37:32,433 --> 01:37:33,932
- I don't understand.
- What kind of data
- 1304
- 01:37:33,934 --> 01:37:35,834
- could you send through
- spinning particles?
- 1305
- 01:37:35,836 --> 01:37:38,804
- The particle would vary between
- two specific transformations only.
- 1306
- 01:37:38,806 --> 01:37:41,474
- So we assigned zeroes to the
- first spin, and ones to the other.
- 1307
- 01:37:41,476 --> 01:37:42,541
- Binary.
- 1308
- 01:37:42,543 --> 01:37:43,576
- Not just that.
- 1309
- 01:37:43,578 --> 01:37:46,379
- The zeroes and ones were
- in Morse code patterns.
- 1310
- 01:37:46,381 --> 01:37:47,813
- It's beyond us how,
- 1311
- 01:37:47,815 --> 01:37:48,882
- but they must have
- found a way
- 1312
- 01:37:48,884 --> 01:37:50,350
- to probe us
- relatively recently
- 1313
- 01:37:50,352 --> 01:37:52,485
- if they're using Morse
- to send a message.
- 1314
- 01:37:52,487 --> 01:37:53,824
- Well, what did
- the message say?
- 1315
- 01:38:09,673 --> 01:38:10,842
- Bec...
- 1316
- 01:38:11,942 --> 01:38:14,377
- I don't understand.
- 1317
- 01:38:14,379 --> 01:38:16,448
- Somehow they
- know all about us.
- 1318
- 01:38:16,947 --> 01:38:19,082
- About you.
- 1319
- 01:38:19,084 --> 01:38:20,850
- We figured they
- can anticipate you
- 1320
- 01:38:20,852 --> 01:38:22,520
- listening for
- the next message.
- 1321
- 01:38:24,523 --> 01:38:25,958
- Let's find out.
- 1322
- 01:38:28,828 --> 01:38:29,929
- How?
- 1323
- 01:38:32,097 --> 01:38:33,667
- Stand by, Isaac.
- 1324
- 01:38:40,140 --> 01:38:42,476
- Los Alamos is
- detecting transformations again.
- 1325
- 01:38:47,914 --> 01:38:51,117
- It's not Morse code.
- 1326
- 01:38:51,119 --> 01:38:53,586
- Maybe they're
- building a file?
- 1327
- 01:38:53,588 --> 01:38:55,154
- Then we'd
- need a format.
- 1328
- 01:38:55,156 --> 01:38:56,792
- Okay. Try a text file.
- 1329
- 01:39:04,099 --> 01:39:05,766
- Try an audio format.
- 1330
- 01:39:11,939 --> 01:39:12,975
- Okay.
- 1331
- 01:39:31,095 --> 01:39:32,097
- Play it.
