To _try_ and get some perspective on what a "Trillion" represents, I offer you this: 1 million seconds = about 11 days. 1 Billion seconds = about 32 YEARS. 1 *_TRILLION_* seconds .. would take you back in time to ~24,000 B.C.

Hey, Thoughty2. I've been watching your videos for years now. I dont think I've ever commented (im quite a quiet chap). I just wanted to say thanks for all the entertaining information and hours and hours of videos. A cup of tea and one of your videos always uplift my day ❤

Lord Beerus is obviously to blame for the missing planets.

Hey Thoughty2, it's been awhile since since I've seen anything from you on here, glad this one popped up when it did. I love the way you present the ideas and concepts in these videos, and the topics themselves are always very deep and interesting. On that note, my daughter is 17 and is becoming increasingly curious about this sort of thing. I personally have a deep love for cosmology, quantum effects, and the like. It's the science of reality, or how we study the building blocks of existence, as I'm fond of saying. So naturally, the more she hears and learns the more she comes to me and we engage in very long, deep rooted & complex conversations about what is and could be. It's always better when you have someone to share your interests with, or even just an objective outside opinion. We just talked about this exact topic a few days ago, but of course I didn't have the numbers off the top of my head, so this came at great time. I've shared the video with her, and told her to look at more of the content you've produced on similar subjects. Long story, sorry.Really just trying to say thank you, & I'm a big fan, & that this stuff helps hold our little family together. Stay thoughtful my friend

I just want to say these videos have helped me immensely. Been struggling a lot with daily life, for a rather long time, I'm still fighting the good fight; but these topics let me get out of myself for a bit and leave certain headspaces behind. I discover much grander perspectives and broader perceptions. I can see all the wonder, humor and intrigue of an array of subjects and experiences that illuminate the wider scope of life and not just what I see from my little window of simply trying to function in society. And all that is very much appreciated

When we talk about things being unlikely, I think the sheer scale of the universe handles that easily. When we talk about trillions of planets over the course of tens of billions of years, it feels like almost any chance outcome should happen, and happen quite often. Take into account how many more years the universe has ahead of it...

These are my favorite Thoughty2 videos. Ones about space, planets, the search for life in our universe. They give me inspiration to look forward to getting older, to seeing how many more amazing discoveries we uncover in this lifetime…. Thank you Thoughty2 🙏🏼

Thank you for all the amazing content you and your team provide. It's truly remarkable and gives a whole new perspective to life.

Thanks for the video!! I always look forward to seeing a new one from you!! I have Long Covid and try to do quizzes to help keep my brain functioning with the brain fog. I always try to give you credit for getting a question right!! So thanks for all the great content. And your book, Stick a Flag in It, I’ve listened to it at least 4 or 5 times on audible. ❤

this an why files are my favourite channels atm. keep up the good work thoughty, and thankyou 👊🏼

Hey, Thoughty2. I've been watching your videos for years now. I just want to say these videos have helped me immensely

Keep it up Aaron, you have one of the best youtube channels! Love your work.

Frozen and irradiated planets don’t exactly sound like my first vacation choice..

The term "Solar System" is derived from our Star (the Sun), which is named "Sol"... so ALL other planetary systems would be "Star Systems", or named after that planetary system`s parent Star... i.e. Rigel System, etc.

Love your videos ThoughtyTwo! I've been a proponent of the rogue planet seeding Earth hypothesis since reading Sitchin's 12th Planet many years ago (25 yrs ish). I also wear a winged disc pendant for that reason. Compelling stuff!

This type of reasoning and logical discussions merging the realms of science metaphysics and speculation is the way forward. We need these discussions in school not just memorising concepts in a textbook as facts and leaving no space for discussion. Natural curiosity should be preserved.

good work on these videos man, they are both informative and fun to watch

_"Your world exists in an area of congregation, an area that has many inhabited worlds. You do not see this within your own Solar System, but beyond your Solar System, this is most certainly true. You do not live in a sparsely populated part of the universe. You do not live in a region that is uncharted and unknown to others. This gives you certain disadvantages because your world is being scrutinized by many powerful forces. They are seeking an Intervention now because humanity has reached a point in its development where it has built an infrastructure that other races believe they can use for themselves."_ *The Allies of Humanity, Book Two* (free online)

Thank you I've been a subscriber for a very long time. You bring knowledge to many of us.

Listen, I LOVE your videos, I just love feeling calm from your voice rly... I just want to say that I think you will get better by staying in your type of content. Again,אני אוהב את החשבון שלך ואין מה להגיד, אתה יודע לתת אינפורמציה בצורה מעניינת ואני אוהב אותך

Always love it when he talks about space and history

I love your videos! I always learn so much watching you and always makes me want to learn to more!!! So thank you Thoughty2 for your wonderful insight on all things interesting ❤😊

Thank you for all of your hard work over the years

Great video as always I love this channel I always end up with more questions after watching one of these videos..Great stuff..

Been watching for years at this point Always love your videos Please keep them coming

Your humour is why I keep coming back to your videos, Thoughty2. It gets me every time. 😂

Thanks and keep up the good work, favourite youtube channel!

Thank you Arran. You really crushed it this year. Here's to 2024 being even more stellar of a year. 🍻

One of my top 3 UKposts choices for learning new facts (easily half my screen time), and given that you're up there with Tasting History with Max Miller and PBS Eons, I hope you understand you are doing an awesome job and I'd really like you to keep doing it for a very long time.

Never a disappointing video!! I always love the topics you pick to talk about!! Thanks for another GREAT video

As always quality content, really appreciated.

Thank you, great job, great subject, rarely covered and its my favorite type of content, past-educational correction. PS no mustache, the shadow looks good man!

Why does the title say "2 Trillion Planets Have Gone Missing and We Don't Know Why" when that was nothing about it

Everytime I watch a Thoughty2 video I always end up thinking the same thing - "How come I haven't heard of this before!?"

Man I love/hate your videos! I always end up doing hours of rabbit hole busting and theory crafting which is fun but SOOOO time consuming and metal marathon running. also, sir. WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK?! if school taught me anything its that learning is not meant to be fun! 😂 Thank you for the 1000's of hours of entertainment you have provided me and 10000+ hours of dedication you have put into this channel, I can imagine just a few of the challenges you have faced along the way!

Love your work keep it up!

What do you mean they are missing!? Is the universe collapsing!? 😮

The only reason we think rogue planets can't have life is because we have only us to go off of. If life is out there it likely will be forged by planetary conditions be it a hot Jupiter or a frozen rogue planey.

Love your space videos, very informative and enjoyable!!!

I love your humours Tristan on all your subjects and was wondering if you would consider doing a video about a Mouris wilson's I'll fated attempt at conquering mount everest. That is if you have not already done so and I have missed it. Many thanks Happy Christmas and keep em coming 👍

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

Great video as usual but I'm surprised you didn't mention about the giant impact theory for how the moon was created (most likely) and how that could have been the rogue planet bringing life

Hey Thoughty2, great work as always and looking good dude!

Thoughty2 - One the best long term channels I have been subscribed to ❤️

Thanks for telling... Don't ever loose the calm narrating. My northern soul (Finland) is in constant agitative state with american repetition and emotional hype. Your calm demeanour is priceless. Thank you!

Thanks, your insights keep on being a surprise: always something new to learn.

Really Really Appreciate your work. Thank you

We can tell you put considerable amounts of effort into these videos I never get bored watching. Well done man.

My kids and I absolutely LOVE your videos -- thank you for being YOU, and making all of the wonderful content! Please know you're very much appreciated in our home.☺

I find your ideas intriguing and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Love your videos took a break and now im back you and the why files and info graphics show are the best UKposts channels for knowledge and interesting things

nice video, thank you! humans are not very good at 'thinking outside the box' we are usually very earth- and human-centric

Certainly an interesting idea and does nicely close up the Panspermia concept. I'll also note, that even if humanity was stuck on Earth till the sun was going to explode, it does give us the idea of editing our species to be able to survive in a different atmosphere, make our own atmosphere MUCH denser, and intentionally Y33T ourselves away from our host star, relying on this Rogue Planet concept to survive as a species. That said, if we last even a few hundred more years we will be more than advanced enough to go just about anywhere we want in the galaxy, never mind the billions of years from now in this hypothetical Y33Ting.

Still some of the best information in story form on the Internet! Keep up the great job!

I had not been this excited about since I was a kid. I learned a lot through your video. Very cool.

I see a few problems with the panspermia theory. First of all, the odds of a celestial body passing close enough to seed the planet looks to me to be about the same odds as life starting on our planet on it's own. I'm not sure how close they need to travel, maybe they don't have to travel very close but as mentioned, space is hostile but so was earth 3.7 billion years ago. The life blocks that seeded our planet would have had to be the most perfect building blocks for life as they would have a very harsh environment to survive. An interesting theory though but I'm not 100% sure what it really changes as building blocks for life on other planets and such is not in dispute far as I know.

you didnt count 2 trillion so how can you lose them? clickbait

Brilliant as always, thank you 🌍

That was actually a great affiliate promo too, BTW. Not needing it right now, but it's a great idea! Thanks for sharing that.

never been this early 😂

I gave you a down-vote for the clickbait title.

Great video Thoughty. The sheer numbers are truly mind boggling. You went off on quiet a tangent with the evolution of life in our universe. The missing planet phenomenon can exist within the creation view as well, something you didn't mention. I'm surprised you didn't mention the most famous missing planet of all, Nibiru!

Thanks for the great vid!

Hope you keep smiling. Great work

Greenhouse gas list: - Methane - Water Vapor Also, what your call a green house gas is really not. In a green house glass is used to trap hot air. Gases don't trap hot air, rather they convert light energy to heat energy.

Ive always loved your videos and your voice, keep it going please 💜💜💜💜💜

Awesome theory, thanks as always for keeping us thinking and not just accepting.

Thanks for what you do Thoughty2

Man haven’t heard “hey foughty two here” in a while. Nice to be back!!

The thickness of atmosphere required could possibly go toward solving the Fermi Paradox, as it would make getting off their planet several magnitudes more difficult.

That's a cool thought experiment tbh. That's some stuff I would love to see in sci-fi entertainment. The idea of an alien species or space colony inhabiting a rogue planet, or even a planet with an elliptical orbit around a star.

Back when I was a kid, there were only 9 planets know in all of existence. Now we know of thousands. It was 1992 when the first planet was detected anywhere other than our solar system. Then as recent years came, they started turning up in their thousands with better orbiting space telescopes.

Thanks for another thought provoking video.

Great videi. Super inspiring, but i have no idea where the title comes in. Did i miss a part where you mention planets disappearing? Or is that reference in "rogue planet"? But you explain a way rogue planets are yeeted out. I'm confused. Love it but confused.

Thanks as always

Love your videos, Mate.

Like you very much buddy. Love the sound of your voice, calm and cool

Great video as always

I love your videos dude that is a lot to think about

I cant believe I only just figured this out but, Thoughty2, 42. 42 is the the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.

the alien coo at 3:28 really caught me off guard lol i tilted my head and opened my eyes not entirely unlike my dog does when she thinks she hears the word "dog park"

Thanks great video

MORE OF THIS !!!!

It is videos like this that help keep me humble about my intellectual capacity. Not because of the nature of its content or the information that it presents us with, but because while everyone else is discussing such matters in the comments section I remain mesmerized by the phrase **unseemly planet yeeting behavior** 🤣

Thanks - great channel.

Thanks thoughty2!

3:20 hahaha yup, it blew my mind

Love the videos, brah.

love this thanks

There are scales in our universe that are so immense, it's understandable if we can barely grasp them. There's so much yet to learn in science. It's hard for us to comprehend dynamic chaotic systems. Especially vast systems. What if at those immense scales, we don't yet fully grasp how things fully work? Like density, mass, Electromagnetism, static charges, fluid dynamics, temperature, pressure, radiation, velocity, etc. *I think there is a lot left to learn about these behaviors on VAST scales throughout our cosmos? I hope we continuously try to improve our understanding of the cosmos over time because it would be foolish to think we fully understand these things. Especially when talking about scales of galactic filaments, multiple galaxies interacting, and many more cosmic bodies & structures. We are getting better & better but some things are just so vast it's understandable we don't yet fully grasp them yet. I'm curious to see where things go as we advance our ability to study these things.

Love your vids, bring back the stash ✌️😉

Great episode my friend I could tell you how it’s done but maybe next time we come back again

We only see a fraction of light amongst other fractions of sense so maybe they resonate or shine out of our view frame and frame rates. Even reflecting it or echoing another frequency could deem them invisible.

A lot of great info was divulged in this video. Thanks 42

No one can fathom just how vast the universe really is. It would take 100,000 light years to travel all the way from one end of the Milky Way to the other. Now, there’s a galaxy that would take 9 BILLION light years to do the same…and that’s just ONE galaxy 😮‍💨

"If that doesn't blow your mind, I'm worried you don't have a mind to blow" epic statement is epic, this gets me all the time 😂

I admit, its 2.15 am and I am tired so not taking in much so did I miss where you talked about missing planets? All I heard was life on other planets lol.

Star dies, or expires a bunch of its mass, it no longer has the same gravitational pull and its plants wander off. I’d always assumed that, and moons and planets being knocked out of stable orbit by meteors, comets or other rogue planets like space snooker, would be the primary ways planets wander off. Or slightly unstable orbits becoming more unstable over time, like how our moon is moving away from Earth by about an inch per year. On a long enough timeline it will no longer be in an orbit around us and will bumble along looking for another celestial body to crash into and/or orbit.

Thanks for this video

THANKYOU MATE. I LOVE UR CONTENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
