>clickbait article
>NASA, who is known for bullshitting and saying stupid shit for attention
>le "rumors" (made up bullshit)
Time to stop posting, OP.

>>8063980
>NASA press release/livestream
>implying it won't be fucking nothing in the end
Anyone here remember Felisa Wolfe-Simon and her discovery of a bacterium that could supposedly use arsenic in place of phosphorous in its DNA? And how NASA advertised it as a discovery that would change how we think about life in the universe?

Not falling for this.

>>8063987


>If it was aliens, it wouldn't be released to the public

Why exactly do people believe this? What benefit would governments/science organizations gain from keeping their biggest finding and achievement of all time a secret?

>>8063980
Even though I want to believe very badly that they actually discovered microscopic ayy lmaos, it's too unlikely that they actually did because dailymail says so.

>>8063989
This image is single-handedly ruining /sci/.

Every fucking thread some pessimismfag has to come in and post it.

Fuck you.

>>8064007
but it's correct.

>>8064007
it's a meme now, like gorillaposting.

>>8064007
Have you ever thought that maybe those "pessimismfags" have a point?

>>8064007
Hello there singularitycuck

>>8064001
Because me and other people like me will tell everyone that we're in contact with the aliens and make shit up to milk the mulderfags and christfags for all their cash.

Might try to organize them into a big cult, too. Depends how many of them get my peepee going. Basically, if you don't think a revelation like this would fuck shit up, you don't have enough imagination.

Explain the dropoff, then, faggots.

>>8064025
The drop off represents a catastrophe of some kind. The green line represents if no disaster ever occurs.

>>8064025
Shitskin invasion.

>>8063980
Every single time they do the same "It mayy be ayyliumaos payy atention to us!" and it's never ayys, I'm tired of their bs.

>>8064307
I stopped caring desu. This time it was interesting though, a lot of new planets.

So what did they announce?

>>8064307
> ayy lmaos revealed in 10 years from now
> no one cares because all of the bs destroying the hype
yeah whatever, fucking space niggers.

>>8065011
That you're mom reached critical mass.

>>8065011

They've discovered like 1284 confirmed exoplanets in one go with Kepler, including 550 or so Earthlikes.

>>8065069
Actually it is quite something.

Apparently they got these all from just one patch of sky in Lyra, which is pretty good sign for planet-hunting odds.

Repeat every year forever.

>>8065276
Yes, you are, but that is beside the point.

>>8063980
>That question mark in the headline
you know they just use the word "alien" for marketing right?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines

>A headline with a question mark at the end means, in the vast majority of cases, that the story is tendentious or over-sold. It is often a scare story, or an attempt to elevate some run-of-the-mill piece of reporting into a national controversy and, preferably, a national panic. To a busy journalist hunting for real information a question mark means 'don't bother reading this bit'

Does this not happen at least once every 6 months?

Any time you see it written "Nasa" instead of "NASA" you can be sure that the article is complete shit. Daily mail is always shit anyway

>>8065319
Every. Fucking. Time
Remember when they announced finding liquid brine on Mars? Or that fucking "unexplained dip in brightness on a star"-thing?
Everybody goes bat-shit crazy, spamming ALIENS and AYLMAO all over the fucking place. Meanwhile, some poor scientist is sitting there, regretting ever saying "huh, that's odd!" out loud

>>8065778

They still haven't figured out the star though.

>>8064018
It must be confusing to think of yourself as intelligent and yet remain so unsuccessful in your own life.

What is your rationalization? I'm curious.

>>8065784
We won't know with certainty for a long time.

>>8064040
>So what if every civilization since time immemorial has collapsed, it'll be different this time.

>What do you think we are paying them for?
I have no idea, but unless it's stacking paperclips it might be a good idea to give them a bit more.

>>8064025
Look at the year of your post, now extrapolate 2016 from the graph. It should click in for you

>>8063980
how many of these are in the 'Goldilocks Zone'? And how many of those are large enough to have a magnetic field to keep the atmosphere from blowing away? And how many of those have a larger planet in its solar system to divert extinction event sized asteroid from knocking out life every few thousand years?
