And welcome to Punk Science TV in case you caught the earlier one. We are
actually live so sometimes things
happen but this is a punk
science TV and I am Doctor Manjir
and this time we're talking
about and hopefully we can get it
right this time this time.
we're talking about ENCELADUS. so
that's one of Saturn's moons and
what has been found on ENCELADUS.
If I can just show you it
are these actual sort of plumes
of water which are like this,
if you can see these plumes of water,
which are really quite
large that are coming from ENCELADUS
and this was a big
surprise when the CASSINI probe actually
found these really large
jets and see how fine they are actually
they're really quite
fine jets of water. So this was found
and this was quite a surprise
on ENCELADUS. We weren't expecting
to find this really
really massive jets of water.
It's quite small moon around
Saturn and people have done studies
to see if they get bigger.
when it's in orbit. It's further
away from Saturn in its orbit
it's closer. So there's a
lot of investigation going on
at the moment and the other thing
that has been found on and
ENCELADUS if I can.. just hopefully.
it won't crash it this time
are coming from ENCELADUS the water plumes have also be found to have
complex organic molecules which
is very very interesting. So
basically it's got scientists excited because they're
wondering if because ENCELADUS has complex organic molecules and
water. If that is any life on ENCELADUS
and at the moment,
really, we don't know what actually
triggers life. What is it
that actually started life in the
first place, But scientists
tend to think that all you need
is some organic molecules, some
water and some energy and life will
just kick into gear and
people like Paul Davis has pointed
out that actually there's a
lot of order to even just one DNA molecule
and somebody's also
said it it's like expecting that
are Boeing 747
going through a junk yard to produce the works of Shakespeare. It's not just
the words and the letters, the order that you put them in is important
In any case this is what scientists
think that all you need is
some water, some complex organic
molecules and some
energy so they got quite excited
when these things were found
on ENCELADUS. And so they're thinking
this could be the signs
of life, but what I'm saying is,
it's not necessarily the sign
of biological life because really
we should expect ENCELADUS
and other worlds to have these properties
of water plumes jets
and complex organic molecules because
I think it's happening as
a result of the black hole principle. So
it should be happening at
every single level. Now we do know
that water is produced by
black holes. If I can just show
you, black holes we know spew
water vapour and also complex
organic molecules have also
been seen coming out of a black
holes. So it's not out of the
question that the same process is
happening on ENCELADUS
the water plumes and the complex
organic molecules are just
simply part of the black hole principle
process. And if this is
the case and we should expect to
see intermittent water plumes of
quite high power coming out from
other planets and other moons
as well, I mean we even see them out of
stars and sunspots,
so you know it's it's quite incredible
but that's the way that
it is because it's the same pattern
all the way down all the
way all the way down from a galactic centre
all the way down to a
thunderstorm and also the interior
of our planet. That's where
all the oceans come from. So we
should see the same sort of
process all the way down so complex,
organic molecules and water
in intermittent plumes and jets,
and that is so far what we've
been finding on ENCELADUS, on Mars,
we talked about previously
having these jets of methane so
I mean that's quite a more
simple organic molecule, but we're
getting the same sort of
process all the way down. So finding
the the actual organic
molecules of water on ENCELADUS
doesn't necessarily mean
it is actual alien life. It doesn't
have to be aliens and
that's me say that it's actually
you know me being more
pragmatic I suppose then some of
the scientists. So this is it
from Saturn's moons of ENCELADUS and
