An interview with Didier Queloz, Nobel laureate and exoplanet hunter

of our solar system. But in 1995, that search entered a new phase, when Didier Queloz and Michel Mayor found the first clear evidence of a planet orbiting another star: 51 Pegasi b. Since then, more than 5,000 exoplanets have been found. This week, Alok Jha asks Nobel laureate Dider Queloz, how the “exoplanet revolution” has influenced the search for life elsewhere.

Dider Queloz is the founding director of the Center for the Origin and Prevalence of Life at ETH Zurich and the director of the Leverhulme Centre for Life in the Universe at the University of Cambridge. We also hear from Emily Mitchell, the co-director of the Leverhulme Centre, on what an international collaboration of scientists called the “Origins Federation” has set out to study. Alok Jha,This is the first of two episodes on the grand scientific quest to search for life beyond Earth.

If the question's like this: what's the reason for the non-existence of life on these planets ? The Answer: There may have been life on them and advanced civilizations, but because of the devastating wars, life ceased, and Earth may be the last planet on which life still exists

Without a doubt. We'll never make contact with them though.

alokjha DidierQueloz Is there life elsewhere in the universe? Life, yes. Barbra Streisand, no. Gina Lollobrigida, no. Sophia Loran, no.

DidierQueloz alokjha The reason may b that he is tired of wars,starvation, inequality, injustice,& crippling of humanity on th Earth. Hence, he wants to find peace & happiness somewhere else. 👼👼👼💁

DidierQueloz alokjha Me too...

DidierQueloz And here's me down the pub

the life there needs to pass the big filter, probably not easy.

alokjha DidierQueloz Very nice piece, had expected the backwards 'are we alone,' approach and was about to skip to the next podcast. Geothermal vents would have existed from the surface of the early Earth ( Some a few metres down still do) all the way down to deep oceans.

alokjha DidierQueloz If found life elsewhere beyond this world, would we change our attitudes to everything here ? May be that could the biggest question to come out of the continuing search for the exclusive ET.

Could AI Enable Humans to Work 4 Days a Week?The ChatGPT revolution opens the door to a four-day work week, according to a Nobel Prize-winning economist Pipe dream that, but ChatGPT AI is transformative technology. And now that its released, cannot be suppressed. Still need to vet output and avoid hacking. Humans can enable us to work 4 days a week. Tech lords will not save us. Bad journalism! Lol someone update that Nobel price that our current economic system prioritize profits and infinite grow, not quality of life much less improving giving life for the worker.
