The Astronomy, Space and Science News Podcast
Exciting New Exoplanet Discovery, Evolving Dark Energy, and Insights into the Moon's Magnetic Field
In this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover the discovery of a potential new exoplanet, TOI 2818C, located over a thousand light years away in the constellation Papus. This intriguing planetary candidate is estimated to be 10 to 16 times the size of Earth and orbits its host star in less than 16 Earth days. We delve into the innovative transit timing variations method employed by astronomers, which revealed the presence of this companion planet alongside the hot Jupiter TOI 2818b, and discuss the implications for our understanding of planetary formation in hot Jupiter systems.
Dark Energy's Mysterious Evolution
We also explore a groundbreaking study suggesting that dark energy may be evolving over cosmic time scales. Utilizing data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), scientists are piecing together the largest three-dimensional map of the universe, revealing hints that dark energy's influence could be changing. This discovery could challenge current cosmological models and reshape our understanding of the universe's fate.
Dynamic Lunar Magnetic Field
Additionally, we examine findings from China's Chang'e 6 mission, which indicate that the Moon's magnetic field has been more dynamic and lasted longer than previously thought. The analysis of lunar samples reveals a resurgence of the magnetic field around 2.8 billion years ago, suggesting that the Moon's interior remains geologically active, challenging earlier beliefs about its magnetic history.

2025 coming up on Spaceime a new
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:12.070
exoplanet discovery using a new system a
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:14.230
new study claims dark energy could be
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.189
evolving over cosmic time scales and
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:19.429
claims the moon's magnetic field is more
00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:21.750
dynamic and lasted far longer than
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:24.230
previously thought all that and more

[Music]
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.549
Garry astronomers have discovered a
00:00:48.559 --> 00:00:50.950
potential new exoplanet the new
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.310
planetary candidate cataloged as TOI
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:56.389
2818C is estimated to be between 10 and
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:58.790
16 times the size of the Earth but with
00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:01.310
an orbital period less than 16 Earth
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.750
days it was found just over a thousand
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:05.429
lighty years away in the planetary
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.149
system in the constellation Papus a
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:09.910
report in the Astrophysical Journal
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:12.390
claims the new discovery was made using
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.670
transit timing variations these involved
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:17.590
using the timing of a known planet
00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:19.990
transiting across the host star to infer
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:21.990
the presence of a second exoplanet in
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:24.789
the system after identifying an unusual
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:26.469
trend in the movement of the hot Jupiter
00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:29.429
planet TOI 2818b the authors ran a
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:30.670
series of model
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.030
simulations they pointed to the presence
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.590
of a small planetary companion the
00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:37.590
study's lead author Ben Monte from the
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:39.749
University of New South Wales says it's
00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:41.429
rare for hot Jupiters to have other
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:43.590
planets near them so this new planet
00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:45.510
could have serious implications for how
00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:47.910
hot Jupiters form and in turn it could
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.550
help astronomers understand other
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.469
systems an exoplanet is any planet
00:01:52.479 --> 00:01:54.789
outside our solar system like the
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:56.550
planets in our solar system which orbit
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.069
the sun most exoplanets orbit a host
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:03.190
star so far over 5,500 exoplanets have
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:05.429
been confirmed by NASA but there are
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.590
trillions more expected to be out there
00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:09.589
waiting to be discovered and that's just
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.150
in our Milky Way galaxy of the known
00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:14.790
exoplanets around 500 are known to be
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.510
hot Jupiters these are hot gaseous
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:19.430
worlds like Jupiter but orbiting
00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:21.830
extremely close to their host stars
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.750
usually each orbit takes just a few
00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:26.470
hours or a couple of days at most even
00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:28.390
lesser known are companion planets the
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.229
hot Jupiters planets orbiting the same
00:02:30.239 --> 00:02:32.710
star as the hot Jupiter one way of
00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:34.630
hunting exoplanets is known as the
00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:37.190
transit method it involves monitoring
00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:38.949
planets as they pass in front of a star
00:02:38.959 --> 00:02:41.350
as seen from Earth when this happens the
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.430
planet briefly blocks out some of the
00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:46.150
stars light that dip in stellar light
00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:47.750
the regularity of the dip and its
00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:49.910
duration can tell astronomers a lot
00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:52.550
about the planet's orbit and size and if
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.390
it's close enough for a spectra to be
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.470
taken scientists can also find out about
00:02:56.480 --> 00:02:58.390
the planet's atmosphere possibly even
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.430
its composition m says planets usually
00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:03.589
make good clocks and an exoplanet's
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.270
orbit around a star should remain
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.509
reasonably stable ensuring consistent
00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:10.390
timing between transits however if you
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:12.229
have more than one planet at play in the
00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:13.830
system then the planets will tend to
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.190
push each other around with their
00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:17.509
gravity and that will make each of the
00:03:17.519 --> 00:03:19.589
planets speed up and slow down just a
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:21.750
little bit this means the transits will
00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:23.430
arrive slightly earlier or slightly
00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:25.270
later than normal and you can then use
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.270
that to infer another planet is causing
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.149
these timing variations monte colleagues
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:31.990
made their discovery by going through
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.910
three years of data from the NASA
00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:35.990
transiting exoplanet survey satellite
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:40.110
tests one known exoplanet is TOI
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:42.390
2818b it was discovered using the
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.030
transit method however when analyzing
00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:46.949
the data the authors noticed that its
00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:49.830
transit dips were not evenly spaced they
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.710
were occurring closer together over time
00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:54.309
something must have been influencing
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:56.789
this planet's orbit and that prompted a
00:03:56.799 --> 00:03:59.270
closer investigation the tricky thing is
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:00.710
there are a number of plausible
00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:02.630
explanations as to why a planet should
00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:05.350
arrive early for example tides of the
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.350
star itself can impact the gravitational
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:09.190
pull on the planet exactly the same as
00:04:09.200 --> 00:04:10.550
what we see between the moon and the
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:12.710
earth but when this is the case the
00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:14.630
planet is typically spiraling inwards
00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:17.189
about to get swallowed by the star that
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:18.789
would make the transits of this planet
00:04:18.799 --> 00:04:21.749
arrive earlier and earlier so Monte and
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:23.030
colleagues needed to work through all
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.430
the possible variations of explanations
00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:27.670
that could cause the timing variation
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.230
seen in the data after extensive
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.310
examination the only option that fitted
00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:34.230
all the observations was the existence
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.629
of another planet in the system the
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:38.550
first exoplanets were discovered back in
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.350
the mid1 1990s while scientists haven't
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.189
yet found an exoplanet that can support
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.270
life like the Earth they have identified
00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:48.150
a number of Earth-sized rocky exoplanets
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:49.670
some of which are in the habitable zones
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.150
of their host stars that's the region
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:53.909
around the star where temperatures would
00:04:53.919 --> 00:04:56.230
allow liquid water essential for life as
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.110
we know it to exist on a planet's
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:01.110
surface monte says whenever astronomers
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.110
find new planets they throw up new
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:04.870
puzzles about how these planets are
00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:06.870
formed and hot Jupiters are a great
00:05:06.880 --> 00:05:09.189
example of that hot Jupiters were the
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.110
first exoplanets discovered but
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.510
scientists really don't fully understand
00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:15.670
exactly how they form or even why
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.510
they're there we know that when stars
00:05:17.520 --> 00:05:19.270
have planets and these planets are
00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:21.110
transiting so they pass along our line
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:22.950
of sight blocking the star these planets
00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:25.110
make excellent clocks they orbit their
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.909
stars perfectly in motion every time
00:05:27.919 --> 00:05:29.350
they come back around they block the
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:31.270
star in the same way for the same amount
00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:33.029
of time and so when that doesn't happen
00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:35.110
if these transits are occurring early or
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:36.950
late we know something else is going on
00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:38.230
there's something else in the system
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:39.830
that's causing some sort of dynamics to
00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:41.670
occur and that's affecting the planet
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:43.110
that we see and so that's exactly what
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:44.950
happened here this is one star that we
00:05:44.960 --> 00:05:47.110
knew had a planet already a hot Jupiter
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.110
so every 4 days this giant planet went
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.430
around the star blocked the light but in
00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:53.270
our team working with a PhD student here
00:05:53.280 --> 00:05:55.430
Brendan McKe we found that this hot
00:05:55.440 --> 00:05:57.189
Jupiter was arriving earlier and earlier
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:58.629
and earlier so it looked like it was
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.230
almost spiraling into its host star
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:01.990
which led us to think something else was
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:03.749
going on here to look at the system more
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:05.749
closely and ultimately we're able to
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:07.350
determine that the thing that's going on
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:08.710
is that there's another planet in the
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.629
system now this is not unusual a lot of
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.390
exoplanets that we find have siblings
00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:16.469
orbiting the host star but uh we don't
00:06:16.479 --> 00:06:18.469
see that very often with hot Jupiters
00:06:18.479 --> 00:06:20.150
yeah that's right so we know that most
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.070
planets are in multiple systems like the
00:06:22.080 --> 00:06:23.430
solar system right there's eight planets
00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:27.110
here and about 10% of all of the planet
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.350
systems that we see have these timing
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.350
variations so we see the interactions
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.189
between two planets these are typically
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.749
planets near what we call a resonance
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.150
and so they orbit each other in some
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.790
ratio of periods so say 10 days and 20
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.070
days or something like that so you get
00:06:42.080 --> 00:06:44.309
the same effect of pushing a child on a
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:45.749
swing that every time the two planets
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:47.430
come to each other at the same point in
00:06:47.440 --> 00:06:48.870
the orbit they give each other a little
00:06:48.880 --> 00:06:50.390
kick and so these little kicks add up
00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:51.590
and all of a sudden you get a big
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.990
perturbation what is rare is to see this
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.029
in a hot Jupiter system there's only
00:06:56.039 --> 00:06:59.430
about five or so hot Jupiters that have
00:06:59.440 --> 00:07:00.870
any sort of companion that has been
00:07:00.880 --> 00:07:02.629
detected meaning another planet and so
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.550
this is a fairly small sample that we've
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.150
added to and these are important because
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:07.510
they help us understand how these hot
00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:08.870
Jupiters form we're talking about
00:07:08.880 --> 00:07:10.629
something near the hot Jupiter not
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:12.390
something much further out I take it
00:07:12.400 --> 00:07:14.710
that's right so we weren't able to
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:16.550
uniquely say exactly where the other
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.110
planet is there's a solution at 8 days
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:20.710
so the hot Jupiter goes around every 4
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:22.469
days this other planet could be at 8
00:07:22.479 --> 00:07:24.790
days or 12 days or inside of the hot
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:26.550
Jupiter even at 2 days and there's a
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:27.909
solution that works with all of these we
00:07:27.919 --> 00:07:29.510
need more data to figure out in which of
00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:31.589
these orbits it is but we know that yeah
00:07:31.599 --> 00:07:33.670
in a resonance with the hot Jupiter
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:35.270
there's a planet that's probably between
00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:37.270
about 5 and 10 Earth masses and that's
00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:38.390
all you need to create these
00:07:38.400 --> 00:07:40.150
pertabbations so it's a small thing it
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:41.749
could have even started perhaps as a
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.070
moon of this hot Jupiter and got pulled
00:07:44.080 --> 00:07:45.990
away by the tidal forces from the host
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.510
star over time it's possible we don't
00:07:47.520 --> 00:07:48.950
really know where how where it's formed
00:07:48.960 --> 00:07:50.469
from there are a lot of questions which
00:07:50.479 --> 00:07:52.550
are being raised as a result of this
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:54.629
such as a sort of dynamical forces that
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:56.550
could be involved and you looked at two
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.110
hot excitations and another one called
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:00.950
cold migration yeah that's right so
00:08:00.960 --> 00:08:02.629
there's two main theories for how hot
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:04.869
Jupiters form we think that in almost
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:06.869
all cases they would have formed much
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:08.469
further away from their star like where
00:08:08.479 --> 00:08:10.150
Jupiter is in our solar system there's
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:12.390
just not enough material close to a star
00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:14.070
early in it life to create a Jupiter so
00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:15.990
it forms further away and it moves in
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:17.430
and there's two different ways that
00:08:17.440 --> 00:08:19.350
could happen one is that it moves very
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.189
smoothly through the protolanetary disc
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:22.629
when the system is young and just
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.469
migrates in in a very calm way we call
00:08:24.479 --> 00:08:26.150
this cold migration and the second one
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.869
is warm or hot migration where there's
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:30.390
some sort of interaction and say two
00:08:30.400 --> 00:08:32.310
giant planets nearly collide with each
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.630
other kicks one into a big orbit that
00:08:34.640 --> 00:08:36.149
eventually spirals inwards towards a
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:38.709
star and so that's a much more dynamic
00:08:38.719 --> 00:08:40.310
process probably perturbs everything
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:42.230
else in the disc we would expect if that
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:45.030
was common then these planets typically
00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:46.790
wouldn't have other planets in the
00:08:46.800 --> 00:08:47.990
system they would all get ejected
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.310
through this exciting process where cold
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.070
migration would preserve planets along
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:53.670
the way they just kind of smoothly
00:08:53.680 --> 00:08:55.910
migrated with a hot Jupiter and so the
00:08:55.920 --> 00:08:57.750
more hot Jupiters we can find with
00:08:57.760 --> 00:08:59.990
companions or rule out companions with
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.070
that can help us understand how common
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.310
these two different methods are we don't
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:05.829
think it's strictly one or strictly the
00:09:05.839 --> 00:09:07.509
other we think both happen at different
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:08.870
amounts of time it's just a matter of
00:09:08.880 --> 00:09:10.150
then trying to figure out how common
00:09:10.160 --> 00:09:12.550
each one is and so this and other
00:09:12.560 --> 00:09:14.150
planets like this will help us really
00:09:14.160 --> 00:09:15.990
understand how common cold migration is
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:17.509
that doesn't just work for distant
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:19.430
exoplanets we can employ that same
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.030
technique to try and find out more about
00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:22.870
our own solar system because if you look
00:09:22.880 --> 00:09:25.350
at the nice model we think that's how
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:28.230
our Jupiter and behind it Saturn acted
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:29.990
in the early days of the solar system
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:31.670
they moved inwards a little bit and then
00:09:31.680 --> 00:09:33.590
migrated back outwards again yeah
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.829
absolutely this isn't a theory that was
00:09:35.839 --> 00:09:37.430
developed recently the theory that goes
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.110
back to our own solar system and a lot
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:40.389
of what we think we understand about
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:41.750
planet formation comes from our solar
00:09:41.760 --> 00:09:43.910
system the nice model and then the grand
00:09:43.920 --> 00:09:45.190
tac model which kind of built on the
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:47.430
niece model both predict that Jupiter
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:49.350
and Saturn all that the planets would
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.110
have moved around quite a bit in the
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:52.870
early solar system because of
00:09:52.880 --> 00:09:54.790
interactions with the protolanetary disc
00:09:54.800 --> 00:09:56.150
when the system was young we're talking
00:09:56.160 --> 00:09:58.150
the first 10 20 30 million years of the
00:09:58.160 --> 00:10:00.949
solar systems life and so that is
00:10:00.959 --> 00:10:02.550
certainly something that the exos solar
00:10:02.560 --> 00:10:04.870
systems resemble in many ways and as
00:10:04.880 --> 00:10:07.269
Jupiter moved inwards it did two things
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.430
one it flung a lot of material into the
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.269
outer part of the solar system but at
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:12.949
the same time it also caused the
00:10:12.959 --> 00:10:15.030
compression of protolanetary material
00:10:15.040 --> 00:10:16.949
that was already in front of it that is
00:10:16.959 --> 00:10:19.670
towards the sun and that helped form
00:10:19.680 --> 00:10:21.829
Mercury Venus Mars and the Earth yeah
00:10:21.839 --> 00:10:23.430
what what we really need for planets to
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:26.630
form is a change in density if you have
00:10:26.640 --> 00:10:28.389
everything just in a disc and it's all
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:29.990
uniform you don't really get the
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:31.350
interactions that you need for stuff to
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:32.949
clump together to start forming a planet
00:10:32.959 --> 00:10:34.550
you need stuff to move past each other
00:10:34.560 --> 00:10:35.750
and then thing you know different
00:10:35.760 --> 00:10:37.670
material gets caught either just through
00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:39.670
electrostatic forces or through gravity
00:10:39.680 --> 00:10:40.790
and then you start building little
00:10:40.800 --> 00:10:42.230
clumps that get bigger and bigger in
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:43.829
time and so anything you can do to speed
00:10:43.839 --> 00:10:45.670
up that process helps this the
00:10:45.680 --> 00:10:47.350
protolanetary disc only lasts a few
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:48.550
million years so you need to form your
00:10:48.560 --> 00:10:50.389
planets quickly and so if you can have
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:52.389
giant planets moving around causing
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.710
clumps causing over dense regions
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:56.949
causing material to just shift its orbit
00:10:56.959 --> 00:10:58.949
a little bit to bump into new stuff that
00:10:58.959 --> 00:11:00.790
really helps you form planets more
00:11:00.800 --> 00:11:02.710
quickly and more effectively before your
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.949
protolanetary disc dissipates so where
00:11:04.959 --> 00:11:07.910
to now with this research so uh there's
00:11:07.920 --> 00:11:10.230
still a lot of planets to be
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:12.150
characterized with TESS tess has now
00:11:12.160 --> 00:11:14.949
been observe observing for just over
00:11:14.959 --> 00:11:17.590
five years so the baseline how long we
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:19.350
have data for is longer than the Kepler
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:20.710
mission so we can start looking at
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.630
systems and seeing more subtle dynamical
00:11:22.640 --> 00:11:23.829
effects that you couldn't see with
00:11:23.839 --> 00:11:25.190
Kepler because the time scale wasn't
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:26.790
long enough the machine the the mission
00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:28.550
only went for four years uh we can now
00:11:28.560 --> 00:11:31.030
start seeing in TESS it also is all sky
00:11:31.040 --> 00:11:33.110
so where Kepler was only one field of
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.110
view tess is reobserving across the
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.030
whole sky and so there's a lot of data a
00:11:37.040 --> 00:11:38.870
lot of hot Jupiters that haven't even
00:11:38.880 --> 00:11:40.150
been discovered yet in test because
00:11:40.160 --> 00:11:41.670
there's just so much data to sift
00:11:41.680 --> 00:11:43.269
through that not only will we be able to
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:45.269
find thousands of these things they're
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.269
big signals giant planets close to their
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:48.470
stars but we're going to have this
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:50.150
manyear baseline to start looking at the
00:11:50.160 --> 00:11:51.750
dynamics of these so it's a really
00:11:51.760 --> 00:11:54.310
exciting time to be working on this
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.389
because the data is just so rich and
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.230
every month becomes richer so that's one
00:11:58.240 --> 00:11:59.750
aspect that we're excited about we're
00:11:59.760 --> 00:12:03.110
also going on into the dynamics of
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.670
planets around binary stars so in the
00:12:05.680 --> 00:12:07.509
same way that we can have perturbations
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:09.030
when a planet interacts with another
00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:10.949
planet if there's two stars like
00:12:10.959 --> 00:12:13.030
canonically Tatooine from Star Wars if
00:12:13.040 --> 00:12:14.710
you have two stars with a planet going
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:16.230
around it you'll see interactions
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.470
between those three objects together and
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:21.110
so we can measure the two eclipses very
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.110
well over lots of different telescopes
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:24.470
lots of different data sets going back
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.389
decades combining those together to look
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:27.590
for really subtle signals that are the
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:29.430
sign of a planet and so our next big
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:31.430
project is trying to find circum planets
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.110
around binary stars that's senior
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.430
lecturer Ben Monte from the University
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.350
of New South Wales and this is spacetime
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.829
still to come a new study claims dark
00:12:41.839 --> 00:12:43.910
energy could be evolving over cosmic
00:12:43.920 --> 00:12:45.910
time and the reclaims the moon's
00:12:45.920 --> 00:12:48.150
magnetic field has lasted far longer
00:12:48.160 --> 00:12:50.389
than expected all that and more still to
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:59.110
come on Spaceime
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:07.509
[Music]
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:09.750
A new study suggests that the mysterious
00:13:09.760 --> 00:13:11.670
force known as dark energy may be
00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:14.150
evolving changing how it will affect the
00:13:14.160 --> 00:13:16.470
ultimate fate of our universe the
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.150
findings come from the dark energy
00:13:18.160 --> 00:13:20.629
spectroscopic instrument DESI a survey
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:22.069
putting together the largest
00:13:22.079 --> 00:13:23.590
three-dimensional map of the universe
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:26.550
ever made it's designed to track dark
00:13:26.560 --> 00:13:28.790
energy's influence over the past 11
00:13:28.800 --> 00:13:31.350
billion years the new observations
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:32.870
reported on the pre-press physics
00:13:32.880 --> 00:13:35.110
website archive.org are showing hints
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.350
that dark energy widely thought to be a
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:39.509
cosmological constant might actually be
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:41.790
evolving over time and in unexpected
00:13:41.800 --> 00:13:44.790
ways desi is an international experiment
00:13:44.800 --> 00:13:46.949
with more than 900 scientists from over
00:13:46.959 --> 00:13:49.110
70 institutions around the world and
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:50.550
it's managed by the United States

National Laboratory desi scientist Alexi
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:57.750
Laund from the University of California
00:13:57.760 --> 00:13:59.670
Santa Cruz says the findings are
00:13:59.680 --> 00:14:02.470
extremely intriguing they suggest that
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:04.069
science is on the cusp of a major
00:14:04.079 --> 00:14:05.910
discovery about dark energy and the
00:14:05.920 --> 00:14:08.870
fundamental nature of the universe taken
00:14:08.880 --> 00:14:11.350
alone Desi's data are consistent with
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.430
the standard model of the universe the
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.629
so-called lambda cold dark matter theory
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:17.990
however when paired with other
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:19.269
measurements there are mounting
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.110
indications that the impact of dark
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:23.750
energy may be weakening over time and
00:14:23.760 --> 00:14:25.590
that other models may actually be a
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:27.829
better fit now those other measurements
00:14:27.839 --> 00:14:29.509
include the light left over from the
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:31.590
dawn of the universe known as the cosmic
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.790
microwave background radiation or CMB
00:14:34.800 --> 00:14:36.990
others include exploding stars known as
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.430
supernova and how light from distant
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:42.030
galaxies warp by gravity known as weak
00:14:42.040 --> 00:14:44.710
lensing the findings suggest astronomers
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:46.790
need to modify their standard model of
00:14:46.800 --> 00:14:48.550
cosmology in order to make these
00:14:48.560 --> 00:14:51.269
different data sets make sense together
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:53.590
so far the preference for evolving dark
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:55.990
energy hasn't risen to five sigma that's
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:57.670
the gold standard in physics that
00:14:57.680 --> 00:14:59.150
represents the threshold of a new
00:14:59.160 --> 00:15:01.670
discovery however different combinations
00:15:01.680 --> 00:15:03.350
of the desi data with the cosmic
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.590
microwave background weak lensing and
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:08.470
supernova data sets range from 2.8 to
00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.430
4.2 sigma and anything above a three
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:14.790
sigma event has a 0.3% chance of being a
00:15:14.800 --> 00:15:17.430
statistical fluke nevertheless many
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:19.750
three sigma events do fade away as more
00:15:19.760 --> 00:15:22.389
data becomes available desi is one of
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:24.710
the most extensive surveys of the cosmos
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:26.870
ever conducted the state-of-the-art
00:15:26.880 --> 00:15:28.550
instrument which captured light from
00:15:28.560 --> 00:15:31.110
5,000 galaxies simultaneously is now in
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.389
its fourth of 5 years of surveying the
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:35.670
skies and there are plans to measure
00:15:35.680 --> 00:15:37.670
approximately 50 million galaxies and
00:15:37.680 --> 00:15:40.870
quazars by the time the project ends the
00:15:40.880 --> 00:15:43.110
new analysis uses data from the first 3
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:44.870
years of observations and includes
00:15:44.880 --> 00:15:47.030
nearly 15 million of the best measured
00:15:47.040 --> 00:15:50.069
galaxies and quazars it's a major leap
00:15:50.079 --> 00:15:51.829
forward improving the experiment's
00:15:51.839 --> 00:15:53.829
precision with a data set that more than
00:15:53.839 --> 00:15:55.749
doubles what was used in Desi's first
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:57.910
analysis which also hinted at an
00:15:57.920 --> 00:16:00.790
evolving dark energy and it's not just
00:16:00.800 --> 00:16:02.389
that the data continues to show a
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:04.790
preference for evolving dark energy but
00:16:04.800 --> 00:16:06.629
that the evidence is becoming stronger
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:09.350
and stronger now than what it was before
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:11.829
desi tracks dark energy's influence by
00:16:11.839 --> 00:16:14.030
studying how matter is spread across the
00:16:14.040 --> 00:16:16.790
universe see events in the very early
00:16:16.800 --> 00:16:19.189
universe left subtle patterns in how the
00:16:19.199 --> 00:16:21.670
matter is distributed through space it's
00:16:21.680 --> 00:16:23.910
a feature which scientists refer to as
00:16:23.920 --> 00:16:25.629
barionic acoustic
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:28.150
oscillations that pattern is providing a
00:16:28.160 --> 00:16:30.629
cosmic scale standard ruler with its
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:32.470
size at different times directly
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.189
affecting how the universe is expanding
00:16:35.199 --> 00:16:36.790
by measuring the ruler at different
00:16:36.800 --> 00:16:38.550
distances it shows scientists the
00:16:38.560 --> 00:16:41.030
strength of dark energy through history
00:16:41.040 --> 00:16:42.629
as the data is getting more and more
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:44.389
precise astronomers are finding
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:46.069
potential cracks in the model and
00:16:46.079 --> 00:16:47.910
they're realizing they may need
00:16:47.920 --> 00:16:50.230
something new in order to explain all
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:52.470
the results when they're put together
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:54.710
it's a fascinating puzzle and needless
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:56.790
to say we'll keep you informed with what
00:16:56.800 --> 00:17:00.949
they find this is spaceime still to come
00:17:00.959 --> 00:17:03.030
claims the moon's magnetic field lasted
00:17:03.040 --> 00:17:04.789
longer than expected and later in the
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:06.870
science report a new study warns that
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:08.949
sugary beverages may be increasing a
00:17:08.959 --> 00:17:11.029
woman's risk of mouth cancer all that
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:29.029
and more still to come on Spaceime
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.270
new data released by Beijing from its
00:17:31.280 --> 00:17:33.350
Changi 6 sample return mission to the
00:17:33.360 --> 00:17:35.190
far side of the moon has shown evidence
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:36.789
of what appears to have been a
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:38.549
significant resurgence of the moon's
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:41.350
magnetic field about 2.8 billion years
00:17:41.360 --> 00:17:43.669
ago the findings are offering new
00:17:43.679 --> 00:17:45.590
insights into the dynamic history of the
00:17:45.600 --> 00:17:47.830
lunar magnetic field and consequently
00:17:47.840 --> 00:17:50.150
its impact on the moon's interior and
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:53.029
surface evolution china's Changi 6
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:54.710
mission was launched back on May the 3rd
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:56.789
last year from the Wing Chang satellite
00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:59.909
launch center on Hinan Island its lander
00:17:59.919 --> 00:18:02.150
and rover touched down on the lunar far
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:04.710
side on June the 1st the lander's
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:06.710
robotic scoop and drill then took
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:08.789
samples of the lunar regular total mass
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:10.190
of
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:13.510
1,935.3 g these were placed into an
00:18:13.520 --> 00:18:15.110
ascent module which was then launched
00:18:15.120 --> 00:18:17.190
back into lunar orbit where it rendevous
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:18.470
with the orbiter module and was
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:20.230
transferred to an atmospheric re-entry
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:22.549
module for the return to earth the
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:24.710
samples have provided the first basaltic
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:26.549
rocks and regular from the moon's far
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:29.110
side in the process filling a crucial
00:18:29.120 --> 00:18:30.870
gap in science's understanding of the
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.430
lunar magnetic field's history see
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:35.430
previous studies based on samples from
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:37.350
the lunar knee side were able to put
00:18:37.360 --> 00:18:39.110
together a general timeline of the
00:18:39.120 --> 00:18:41.830
moon's magnetic field but they left out
00:18:41.840 --> 00:18:44.470
key uncertainties about its evolution
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:46.070
the new research has undertaken
00:18:46.080 --> 00:18:48.310
paleomagnetic analysis of the samples
00:18:48.320 --> 00:18:49.990
measuring the ancient magnetic field
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:52.669
strength ranging from 5 to 21
00:18:52.679 --> 00:18:54.710
microteslas the findings show a
00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:56.789
resurgence in magnetic field intensity
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.070
at 2.8 billion years that follows a
00:19:00.080 --> 00:19:02.950
decline around 3.1 billion years ago the
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:04.549
findings challenge the previous
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:06.630
hypothesis that the lunar dynamo
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:08.549
weakened after 3 billion years and the
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:10.470
lunar core solidified and has remained
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:12.789
inactive ever since the authors believe
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:14.549
the magnetic revival could have been
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:16.870
driven by a basaltic magma ocean or
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:18.870
possibly processional forces with
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:20.630
potential contributions from core
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:22.150
crystallization
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:24.150
now it all suggests that the moon's
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:25.830
interior has remained geologically
00:19:25.840 --> 00:19:27.830
active for far longer than originally
00:19:27.840 --> 00:19:29.590
thought and that suggests significant
00:19:29.600 --> 00:19:31.590
fluctuations in the lunar magnetic field
00:19:31.600 --> 00:19:34.789
between 3.5 and 2.8 billion years ago
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:37.190
all as a result of a highly unstable
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:39.990
dynamo during this period it's a
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:42.310
fascinating discovery and changes our
00:19:42.320 --> 00:19:45.430
understanding of the moon's history this
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:46.740
is spaceime
00:19:46.750 --> 00:20:02.470
[Music]
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:04.230
and time now to take another brief look
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:05.669
at some of the other stories making news
00:20:05.679 --> 00:20:07.549
in science this week with the science
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:09.830
report a new study has found that
00:20:09.840 --> 00:20:11.750
consuming lots of sugary beverages may
00:20:11.760 --> 00:20:13.830
increase a woman's risk of mouth cancer
00:20:13.840 --> 00:20:16.549
regardless of whether or not they smoke
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:18.390
the findings reported in the Journal of
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:20.470
the American Medical Association looked
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:22.350
at data on
00:20:22.360 --> 00:20:25.830
162,62 women 124 of whom developed mouth
00:20:25.840 --> 00:20:27.870
cancer over 30 years of follow-up
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:30.789
studies overall women who drank one or
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.830
more sugary beverages per day were 4.87
00:20:33.840 --> 00:20:35.590
times more likely to develop mouth
00:20:35.600 --> 00:20:37.669
cancer than those who consumed less than
00:20:37.679 --> 00:20:40.149
one sugary drink a month now that's
00:20:40.159 --> 00:20:41.990
equivalent to an extra three cases of
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.789
mouth cancer for every 100,000 people
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:46.710
when heavy smokers were excluded the
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:48.470
increased risk from sugary drinks was
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:50.549
even higher with women who drank one or
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:53.350
more drinks per day at 5.46 times the
00:20:53.360 --> 00:20:55.029
risk of mouth cancer compared to women
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:57.430
who drank less than one drink per month
00:20:57.440 --> 00:20:59.430
the authors say the findings may reveal
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:01.430
a previously unknown cause of mouth
00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:03.669
cancer in women and so further studies
00:21:03.679 --> 00:21:05.510
should look to see if the same thing is
00:21:05.520 --> 00:21:07.990
true among men
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:10.390
a new study claims agricultural drought
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:12.549
is likely to become harder to predict as
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:14.950
the world continues to heat up the
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:16.789
findings reported in the journal Nature
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:18.710
Climate Change is based on statistics
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:20.950
and computer simulations showing that
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:23.110
predictability of droughts may decrease
00:21:23.120 --> 00:21:25.750
by more than 70% if the world warms to
00:21:25.760 --> 00:21:29.350
either 2° or 3° C above pre-industrial
00:21:29.360 --> 00:21:32.230
levels it shows Australia is one of the
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:34.470
most affected regions in the world along
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:37.029
with North America Amazonia Europe and
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:39.350
both Eastern and Southern Asia the
00:21:39.360 --> 00:21:40.789
authors say this decrease in
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:43.029
predictability is due to changes in the
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:44.950
soil as well as the interactions between
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:46.950
the land and the air and increasingly
00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:49.070
dry conditions more
00:21:49.080 --> 00:21:51.669
generally a new study warns that less
00:21:51.679 --> 00:21:54.149
than half the claims made about ADHD
00:21:54.159 --> 00:21:56.549
symptoms in popular Tik Tok videos align
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:58.390
with current scientific and clinical
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:00.789
standards the findings are reported in
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:02.549
the journal plus one assessed the
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:04.070
content of more than a 100 of the most

popular Tik Tok videos with a hashtag

00:22:09.120 --> 00:22:11.590
the videos claims about ADHD were
00:22:11.600 --> 00:22:14.549
accurate they then asked 843

undergraduate students about their Tik
00:22:16.320 --> 00:22:18.789
Tok ADHD viewing habits and what videos
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:21.190
they would recommend students either
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:23.590
formally or self-dagnosed with ADHD
00:22:23.600 --> 00:22:26.470
reported watching #ADHD Tik Toks more
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:28.350
frequently than students who didn't have
00:22:28.360 --> 00:22:30.950
ADHD and those who watched those videos
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:32.549
were more likely to say they would
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:33.990
recommend them regardless of how
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.149
accurate they really were while the
00:22:36.159 --> 00:22:37.909
authors acknowledge social media can
00:22:37.919 --> 00:22:39.830
provide useful information and a sense
00:22:39.840 --> 00:22:42.230
of community for those with ADHD they
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:44.630
often don't match expert opinion and
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:47.270
could lead to people overestimating ADHD
00:22:47.280 --> 00:22:49.110
prevalence and think more negatively
00:22:49.120 --> 00:22:50.909
about their own
00:22:50.919 --> 00:22:53.510
symptoms lg and Samsung have just
00:22:53.520 --> 00:22:56.310
released their latest high-tech TVs with
00:22:56.320 --> 00:22:57.909
the details we're joined by technology
00:22:57.919 --> 00:23:01.110
editor Alex Harro from techadvice.life
00:23:01.120 --> 00:23:04.070
i just saw LG's 2025 range that go from
00:23:04.080 --> 00:23:05.909
smaller TVs that also work beautifully
00:23:05.919 --> 00:23:08.070
as monitors you know 32 in all the way
00:23:08.080 --> 00:23:10.630
through to 100in TVs i mean there was an
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:13.590
80in transparent LED all that stuff
00:23:13.600 --> 00:23:15.029
we've seen in science fiction but one of
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:17.110
the TVs that LG has been working on for
00:23:17.120 --> 00:23:18.950
some years as well as their market
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:21.990
leading OLED where each pixel is its own
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:23.750
light source and you can have ultimate
00:23:23.760 --> 00:23:25.270
blacks because everything is switched
00:23:25.280 --> 00:23:27.270
off there's no light shining through a
00:23:27.280 --> 00:23:29.750
liquid crystal display that then has to
00:23:29.760 --> 00:23:31.510
show black and then also have light
00:23:31.520 --> 00:23:33.909
going through it qet is quantum dot and
00:23:33.919 --> 00:23:36.070
nano cell technologies and these use
00:23:36.080 --> 00:23:39.190
mini LED backlighting to create a um
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:41.350
vibrant picture now there are different
00:23:41.360 --> 00:23:44.149
levels of this QNET technology lg uses a
00:23:44.159 --> 00:23:46.870
branding called EVO to denote the higher
00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:48.710
quality versions of its technologies and
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:52.070
when I saw a QLED and then an QLED Evo
00:23:52.080 --> 00:23:53.590
side by side well you can see that the
00:23:53.600 --> 00:23:56.950
EVO version had even more rich colors it
00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:58.390
was able to display even more colors
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:00.549
than the cheaper version but this is all
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.430
in the aim of giving consumers a modern
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:05.510
television with all the streaming and
00:24:05.520 --> 00:24:07.830
all the apps that you expect now one of
00:24:07.840 --> 00:24:09.909
the things that LG is doing is they're
00:24:09.919 --> 00:24:12.950
offering 5 years of updates for the
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:15.430
television operating system this is
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:16.789
important because just like when you buy
00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:18.789
a phone it has all sorts of security and
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:20.630
feature updates and you know you get the
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:22.149
next version of iOS or the next version
00:24:22.159 --> 00:24:24.310
of Android and you've got new features
00:24:24.320 --> 00:24:25.990
and also as we were saying before
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:28.070
importantly security updates so this is
00:24:28.080 --> 00:24:29.669
important for TVs because if your TV's
00:24:29.679 --> 00:24:31.269
stuck you had it for 5 years and you
00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:32.630
can't update it anymore maybe
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:34.070
vulnerabilities i mean there's a reason
00:24:34.080 --> 00:24:35.510
why they don't have the little cameras
00:24:35.520 --> 00:24:37.269
on televisions anymore now they have
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:38.789
microphones now again because you can
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:40.390
now talk to your TVs and get it to
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:41.990
change channels or change brightness or
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:44.549
improve the vocal track so the voices
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:46.149
are louder but if your TV is several
00:24:46.159 --> 00:24:48.230
years old can have vulnerabilities now
00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:51.029
Samsung has also come out with its new
00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:53.830
range of OLED TVs and Samsung is the
00:24:53.840 --> 00:24:55.669
other company that's making OLEDs and
00:24:55.679 --> 00:24:58.149
these TVs come with 7 years of security
00:24:58.159 --> 00:25:00.549
and OS updates it's really sad but isn't
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:02.390
it in the olden days in the days of
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:05.110
cathode ray tubes you'd buy a TV it last
00:25:05.120 --> 00:25:07.830
you 20 years or so and uh you'd only
00:25:07.840 --> 00:25:10.470
upgrade when color TV came out or when
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:12.630
we moved to flat screens well in a way
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:14.390
it's the same because flat screens from
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:16.149
10 years ago a lot of them wouldn't
00:25:16.159 --> 00:25:17.590
necessarily have had internet
00:25:17.600 --> 00:25:18.789
connections or you would have had to
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:21.269
have plugged in an Ethernet cable or
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:23.110
Wi-Fi and that can be turned off so the
00:25:23.120 --> 00:25:25.190
TV the flat screen TV is still a flat
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:27.269
screen TV it'll still pick up free toear
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:29.269
channels it might have some measure of
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:30.950
internet connectivity but if that is
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:33.190
turned off the TV cannot be hacked into
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:35.590
so it still can do what it can do but it
00:25:35.600 --> 00:25:37.430
just misses out on the newer features it
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:39.350
does and the benefit of being able to
00:25:39.360 --> 00:25:41.830
plug an Amazon Fire Stick or a Google
00:25:41.840 --> 00:25:44.070
Stream Box or an Apple TV is that that
00:25:44.080 --> 00:25:46.310
is then on HDMI 1 or whichever HDMI
00:25:46.320 --> 00:25:47.350
you've got and this could also be like
00:25:47.360 --> 00:25:50.070
for a Fox box as well and you are using
00:25:50.080 --> 00:25:52.390
that as the TV operating system because
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:54.789
it's plugged into an HDMI source so
00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:56.149
you're sort of bypassing any of the
00:25:56.159 --> 00:25:58.070
smarts in the TV at all and you're
00:25:58.080 --> 00:25:59.590
offloading it all to whatever's plugged
00:25:59.600 --> 00:26:01.830
into the HDMI port and that device is
00:26:01.840 --> 00:26:03.350
connected to the internet and that
00:26:03.360 --> 00:26:04.870
device is getting updates that's Alex
