Tomorrow Daily - Kepler-452b is a potential "Earth 2.0" with exciting possibilities, Ep. 214

2015-07-23
on today's show NASA announces earth to point O and I've already got kales bags facts and eSports is cracking down on cheaters who are taking drugs you know winners don't use drugs tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the besties talk shows in our universe I'm Ashley Skala that's kale anonymous I know I like I just said I'm hurt broken by these by these terrible revelations in gaming it's easy with a new sport for stuff to kind of subtly slip in and like for us to start figuring out where like it's it's a learning process growing pains growing its growing pains and there's a lot to talk about behind that because it kind of people didn't even think about yeah it was just kind of a thing it suddenly blew up yeah and we'll get to it but let's talk about a new place to live yeah let's hit headlines about a new place to live let's talk about this Airbnb not here yeah I saw this on our B&B you guys I was super fascinated earth to point o is NASA's account okay so we got to talk about earth to point o this was this morning now so now it's a pretty big deal and we'll explain why they have discovered a kind of cousin to Planet Earth in the Kepler this is called kepler-452b not eggs not see 452 big those other ones are those other ones are total garbage it is a near near the size of Earth it's about sixty percent bigger in is orbiting in the habitable zone of a star that is similar to our own Sun which is very which is pretty rare a lot of times you have it's too close it's too far and then even if it is in that sort of Goldilocks zone it is not the son or the star that it orbits is not good for sustaining life so that means that this planet kepler-452b is in an area where liquid water is possible and its location also means that it could be rocky just like Earth it could be like Earth you guys it could be it could be you know they do expect it to have active volcanoes though um and they also and maybe a slightly thicker atmosphere than our earth currently does however a year there is only 385 days it's only 20 days more than earth earth year sweet like an extra month yeah you get like an extra month to do stuff it is unfortunately for 200 light-years away in the Cygnus constellation which you can actually see pictures of they have NASA's got their big photo gallery of all these amazing photos taken by satellites and you can see photos of the Cygnus constellation but you can see this is like the whole they have a bunch of pictures on nasa.gov like I encourage you if you love space like I do go over there look over everything it's super fascinating and also and I thought this was the most interesting part that this system has a 1.5 built or a 1 billion year head start in terms of evolution or development of life if there is life there they would have an extra billion years of evolution on us it's a million years older than Earth and there you have like so many Marvel movies out have already some oh my god guys there in like phase funny right now oh it's like MCU phase 20 at least um yeah I love this I think this is so cool it marks the first time that we've seen sort of what I have I think of as look kind of the earth hat trick which is right place right size and similar star that it orbits so this is the very first time we've seen all three of those things be the case for a planet to the layman how do they know as much information and how what don't they know about it like how did they find this thing so we have a Kepler we actually have a space as satellite that has been taking pictures of the Kepler system very specifically for a while since our satellite it's been out there for a long time and I think last year we actually reported on this right before you came in and started co-hosting two of the i believe it's four or six mechanisms on the satellite broke like they broke down so they've only been able to get kind of a really focused view of kepler as a system and they still though have been receiving data and they've been studying it and kind of making these determinations as they've gotten information in so the Kepler satellite still giving us like amazing information and data on this start on this system on the kepler system so super incredible that we're even able to know and and one of the reasons are one of the ways that they're able to kind of see size and different things like that is they will look at as they're watching it they'll see you know things cross in front of it um that kind of helps determine how big or small things are alright cool um but yeah it's start booking your strategy yeah you can't book your air B&B just yet I you know I tweeted this morning and I really mean this like we don't really know what's over there right so we just kind of know it's there and we have some ideas as to what it could be like and for me I can't help but think that maybe a like a billion years ago when they were when Kepler was in the same position that Earth is in right now evolutionary wise there were humans there or some type of living sentient beings there who discovered earth and rely God's 1400 light light years away and we're gonna name it like you know Zach's Iran you know for 685 looks like they were humans but they said Zach so Jax Iran and so well of course that a little bit different language than it then then what we have here but yeah I love this idea of like maybe we're looking at planet that's looking right back at us and neither of us really know this is really base prime and stuff it's really terrifying to think about it like maybe because of space and time like we're looking at them so far you know a long time ago or you know actually what if there was an earth to tomorrow Daily Show where might be I there would be what they called it tomorrow daily to know like why are we calling it that but I know so ya know it's probably out there hey Dave space kale hey earth to hey 2.0 Ashley come at me bro I will fight you for supreme there can only be one okay I'll and her alright that brings us to our hashtag of the day which is which is TD 45 to be so oh great good luck with that 450 to be its number the number four or five to you don't have to type it all out and be ridiculous t2 uh would you move there if you knew nothing about it but you knew humans could survive there like if you knew humans could live on the surface like you say they say we know humans could live there like there's oxygen and you can go there and you could live there would you go live there first of all it's not a good idea to send me first I'm not I'm not a good thing first I'm saying if they just said the possibilities there we can get you there in your lifetime we figured out you know let's say we figured out wormhole travel like they we know how to bend space and time and we can get you there really quickly like within five years if I can decide in 10 years yeah okay he's in 10 years I will have like experienced enough life on this planet okay where I could be like all right I'm literate I'm ready to make an impact I'm ready to do a nupe new phase of my life exam math and the earth nearer to the ends you know that sort of thing so but yes the answer is yes you would go bring tons of books so many movies I would learn everything and then it would die on that plan you'd have to bring here's the thing like what if like let's say even if they were advanced civilization people there were think there were beings that live there they all of their technology be totally different than ours well bring a DVD player what do you can't plug it in I'd bring a generator Oh fair enough i would get weatherby pedal or whatever or sunbae sunbae be yeah come on Ashley your power you're the host of tomorrow daily we can figure things out they can make a human heart out of nothing right very true okay what am I getting uh I feel like I feel like I would go it's hard because i don't think i would go if i knew nothing about it beyond just humans could survive there cuz like what sure you could breathe air but then like if there's a bunch of volcanoes and there's not any technology or i would be really bummed out like in fact cuz i love the idea of getting up in the morning and not knowing if we're gonna discover something like earth to point out like that's really exciting for me and if there was just none of that on kepler-452b i think i would i think i would be really sad i think i would die sad lady here's here's the catch though for you not to extend this any longer than it needs to be but you report on all this stuff all the time wouldn't you want to be a part of at least one of the stories if there's Wi-Fi on girl you know i want there's a mcdonalds they'll be a wife oh I want to be part of the story where we upload our consciousness into robots like I would like to end up a Cylon before my death that's my goal that's a gold life that's on my bucket list number one right there you're creepy he right now creepy lady I will take it what about you and Logan no not going not know music festivals now music crash hold on kepler-452b Oh looking to start his own all right tell me about okay so so so so serious you're gonna get through this real as real quick okay um whether you like it or not e sports or video game video game sports is as big as real sports and because it's a new thing maybe there's some problems that we haven't discovered yet namely Edo ping and or taking performance-enhancing drugs yes there are drugs you can take to make yourself game better um caffeine is a lower level laughing lower level right it's now being discovered that adderall is being taken by a lot of people playing the game and because there's no there's no rules against it just yet people are taking it well they've decided to make a stand with that the electronic sports league has announced yesterday that they're planning to start up a the drug testing for drugs like adderall that seems to be the one a new one that's like very popular monks really elite and by the way I just really want I want to mention this really quickly the video that you guys are watching over what we're talking about none of these people have like been convicted of doping they haven't even been accused this is just a really great compilation of eSports gaming that I found online that was made by a redditor and I loved it so much that I want to put on the show so just to be clear this is just a compilation this has nothing to do specifically like with any allegations of doping or anything like that in eSports ok please continue yeah I mean it gives you it gives you an example of what it looks like you're sitting there playing video games there's a huge audience there's millions of dollars at stake like this is a real serious thing and people have a reason to take these drugs a reason to take these drugs I don't quote me on that but so now they're trying to crack down there's good they're gonna partner with the Germany nada the national anti-doping agency doping um panting so yeah they're gonna try and make measures to kind of prevent this yeah there was an interview recently where some guy got kicked off a team and basically felt the need to tattle on everybody and say everyone was taking adderall um so yeah I mean it kind of blew the doors open don't know how deep it's going we don't know if there's other drugs that are being taken or there I read some like I read a bunch about this after i started reading it and um there's there's no word on whether because you can take a caffeine pill that's really really really high caffeine and that's not good for you so I mean we don't know if they're going to start tackling that yeah there's no word if they're just saying that now they're gonna start cracking down there's going to be some sort of rules in place which is which is good that's a good thing I mean I think it's good that they're gonna policies and I know that you had mentioned earlier before we started feeling they're going to do like support networks like to help sort of players who are dealing with that this is an immense amount of pressure these gamers runner it's the same amount that you would be under if you were playing in a pro football game or if you then and it's not a justification for doing that but it is a very serious thing that these players have so much anxiety and so much stress about winning like at all costs and so that's all they do day night it's all they do tinnitus is play the game that they play professionally and train train train so for for the ESL to say okay this is obviously a problem and we're acknowledging that and we're gonna make it better and we're going to try to give these athletes a support network which most other professional sports leagues have yeah hello our network look I know it's hilarious I know tell relentless I know it's hilarious to think that there's performance-enhancing drugs to play video games but there's millions of dollars at stake and not everyone is going to be taking these drugs here's here's here's the real issue not everyone is going to be taking these drugs and it's not fair to the people that aren't taking the drugs that other people are they shouldn't have to accommodate to that they're like well they're taking them so I have to take them to be as good so it needs to be balanced it's only fair to the people that are coming to see the shows and are being like these guys are amazing gamers so it's ridiculous it's just like professional sports though yeah that's not ridiculous at all i think that so that is a logical sound argument it's not fair to the people who don't and it's not fair to the fans because it's it's not genuine it's not a genuine win you used something to help you win so I I think it's a good thing I mean I also adderall is not a legal drug unless you have a prescription right so that's already you're already breaking the rules so it's like whether or not you're playing starcraft real good it's like you're not taking an illegal drug while you're on a team to win millions of dollars so not good shame shame shame you're gonna getcha go to break let's come back with into it and our user feedback don't click away it's tomorrow daily this week I'm playing portal stories Mel which is a community developed free mod that lays on top of portal 2 all you need to do is own the original game we played a lot of planetside 2 it's a free-to-play now on PlayStation 4 so I've been playing telltale games Game of Thrones it's based on the HBO series but it's not about those characters it's about an entirely different northern house and sometimes some of the characters from the show show up with Terry I've been playing rocket League and is a blast it is competitive as it gets I kamarag last time I played a game where I'm standing up screaming at other people this brand new story new puzzles best part pletely free it's been pretty mellow so far wasn't really Game of Thrones he didn't really capture that tension and that anxiety but the most recent episode not only was extremely nerve-racking but it made me cry massive player battles in an open world sci-fi setting can't really beat that simple it's easy to play hard to master it's awesome telltale i think is doing a really good job of making really feel like you're playing the game of thrones and that you're navigating these conversations and these people's motives to further your own in a way that's both dangerous and entertaining so i would check it out welcome back to the show we've returned it's a thursday we like to talk about stuff that we love on thursday so this is into it i'd almost felt like you just drop the bass on us alright can I go first this week yeah you seem pretty excited about it I am super excited so I had heard a lot about how great the Muppets TV show was going to be the pilot the the stuff they showed a comic con apparently was amazing and they finally ABC released the footage from what they showed at comic-con oh not the first episode but the foot first like 10 minute presentation that was what was sort of given to ABC to decide if they want to go to series with it and it is awesome it's so so good it's everything you love about the Muppets it is smart and and funny and just brilliantly done the way that they're gonna do it is it's gonna be kind of documentary style we're almost like the office but it's about the Muppets like imagine if you were doing like the office but it's gonna be backstage at like I guess a variety show like they're verte the muppet show but it's about their personal lives beyond the show this is such a fantastic so like I guess a cross between the office and 30 rock but with Muppets like is that that's probably the best way to describe it and it is so good this 10 minutes is so funny and brilliant and and again classic Muppets like there are still some great Muppet jokes in there but there are also some great jokes that are like oh man like this is perfect like these are perfect modern Muppet jokes like I love so it's really great I I can't I don't want to spoil it I'm gonna tell you like oh this happens when this happens but usually you should a hundred percent watch it it's worth 10 minutes your time and just jump on the internet go over go over to youtube look up abc's channel and just watch it because it is so good and so funny and the conceit of the show is great and i can't wait to see it this fall I cannot wait it's great yeah I haven't been this excited about a muppets property in a really long time really what about the Muppets I didn't see muppets most wine oh that was terrible I heard that wasn't very good but I loved The Muppet movie with Jason Segel yeah that was great puppets but then before that there wasn't really a whole lot for a long time so it's true and I love like Muppets Take Manhattan what's your favorite rub it oh my gosh my favorite Muppet um I mean I really love beaker beakers a awesome up it but I have to say Sadler in waldorf like I oh yeah okay fair enough I'd be like yeah yeah yeah that's that's exactly good that's good all right you win okay tell me what you're into so I'm into it I just got into two days ago thanks to producer Logan who made the suggestion he's like oh you're gonna let you probably like this it's humans this is a British television show it's airing in BBC but also airing on AMC BBC is obviously we're to their two episodes ahead but it is about basically robots are now servants like they've created humanoid robots that are servants and will like work in our house and it's about the singularity it's about this sort of there are helpers but they're slowly getting smarter and some of them happening your dark histories that we that we don't know about gosh I can't go any further than that but if you're kind of into that sci-fi where sci-fi is where like technology starts to help us out but what are the ramifications of I'm working how where does it I what is it unravel and like the stories of like how it affects the world and stuff like that hello it's just fantastic they get they approach it at the way i say is it's the pacing is perfect british television has pacing down to a tee whereas sometimes american television and this is this isn't universal but sometimes american television can be like we got to hit them hard at the beginning and then it's kind of as that slow along and then they do the ending thing but this thing has like perfect pacing all the way through consistent yeah it's really good humans if you end up watching it let me know because I love no other people that really like it I love it you should check it out too I definitely will know thanks for the suggestions loser Logan you're welcome awesome you're so well all right you want to kick to this next thing ya hey guys let's talk about you it's time for user feedback yesterday we introduced the flying car we did the flying car is coming real soon unfortunately and so we asked you we had hashtag TD fly car and we asked you who would you give a flying car too yeah you couldn't get you can keep it yeah you had to give it away to somebody freaking jerk okay so here are some of here are some of the answers first off we got Frank who says the animal the animal troll well let's just communicate on the animal patrol and Africa should have this flying card to hunt down these poachers brilliant yeah he's referring to a poacher thing that we're trying out coach I know who's that love me wrapping it all together tying it all together with a nice little smart person Frank next up we have Leo who says i'd give the flying car to Donald Trump so he can fly away from Planet Earth I have to say a lot of people wrote that answer it wasn't just Leo there's like I think five other people who said just give the car to dumping him fly away out of Earth people are trying to get rid of Donald Trump you don't want him around make sense next up we got Mitchell Mitchell says I would send one to a young mechanic for him to build a service station and repairs for future accidents no now you're literally making somebody and on Trish entrepreneur by doing that like that Rachel entrepreneur that's kind of like it's kind of an emotion that's good I like that one that's you're helping out somebody who maybe didn't didn't have any a lot of prospects in life and now he's gonna be a billionaire with a flying car franchise good job Mitchell flying car fixers that's what I'm gonna call it lastly we have one from will Oh will who says i'll give it to that mexican drug lord el chapo so he can get to trump faster LOL who's gonna get the car first let me go to fly over there is it gonna be i'll chop 0 2 gets very edgy answer to give it to a cartel drug attack in the car to make art mean well I mean well uh Mitchell's like I'm gonna help some young mechanic feels like a drug lord although to be fair I think he probably has enough money to buy a car right now so I'll chop yeah I probably just pay in cash for a flying car give me those yeah alright cool alright so that brings us of course to our last piece of user feedback which is your phone tag refer of the day alright so Gregor Rodin Greg took this picture with his one plus one and I have to say this is incredible reminds me of that movie fire in the sky so aliens obviously on their way he says check out this picture of the Sun setting along the coastline in Alabama the sky looked like it was on fire we've been watching the skies ever since and while there have been other nice sunsets none have looked as good as this one it was taken with the one plus one that is an amazing picture Wow everything's orange everything is orange in that picture he didn't use a filter I'm assuming not he just said take him with one plus one can I tell you a story about one plus one that I read the other day that I thought was really fascinating I'm really I'm kind of getting an astrophotography like I want to take pictures of the stars in less light polluted area so it might go out to the desert and like try on my Fuji my x100 team but I saw it post online on this website about astrophotography where they used a one plus one and got some amazing Star photos like of the night sky with not a lot of light pollution they were able to get pictures of stars with a cell phone why it was amazing why are they able to do that on the one plus one and nothing else um well because the sensor is really good uh the aperture i think i think is the lowest i want to say the iphone is like 2.3 and on the oneplus one its f-stop 2 point 0 is Louis so it's nuts in more light so when you're in less light foot area or I will actually pull the light for the stars and stuff hmm seriously you guys that one plus one camera my it's one of the best out there like I really mean I haven't tried it personally but from what I have read in seen from people's pictures it's a really amazing camera and I'm really impressed with that like I really I'm always impressed by an excellent smartphone camera and the one plus one is definitely one of those so for what it's worth I don't know it takes amazing pictures that astrophotography stuff i'll show it to you after the show it's incredible anyway that's it if you want to send us some photography you can email us tomorrow at cnet com and you know just tell us you took it and give us permission because that seems important and then also if you want to find the show online you can always send your user feedback sits at tomorrow daily on Twitter but really you want to hang out with us and you can do that on twitter if you want to send me some arms you can tweet at me I Matt Cail anonymous or if you want to talk about humans yeah at Cal mostly send me some arms cuz i miss my art please send killer arms but yeah and then you're well you are I'm over at Ashley's schedule on Twitter it's super easy to find me as well but that's it for the show guys will be back on Monday that's it for us for this week hopefully kale will get some arms by then but if not we'll see you next time be good humans by you
