I was trying to explain why the arguments saying it's impossible are inconclusive and we shouldn't throw out the possibility too quickly, but I'm afraid I didn't make my case very well. This video is a second attempt. Hopefully this time it'll come across more clearly! šŸ’Œ Support us on Donatebox āžœ donorbox.org/swtg šŸ‘‰ Transcript and References on Patreon āžœ www.patreon.com/Sabine šŸ“© Sign up for my weekly science newsletter.
