NSF Graduate Fellow Alex Teachey of the Cool Worlds Lab explains our new paper which devises a method to cloak entire planets from extraterrestrial civilizations!

As always, ask us your questions in the comments below and we'll get back to you! • ::More about this Video:: • ► Kipping Teachey (2016): A Cloaking Device for Transiting Planets http://arxiv.org/abs/1603.08928 • ► BBC article on Stephen Hawking's comments about avoiding alien contact: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8642558.stm • ► Outro music by Taylor Davis: • The Avengers Theme - Violins Cover - ... • ::Playlists For Channel:: • Latest Cool Worlds Videos ► http://bit.ly/NewCoolWorlds • Cool Worlds Research ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsResearch • Guest Videos ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsGuests • Q A Videos ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsQA • Science of TV/Film ► http://bit.ly/ScienceMovies • ::Follow us:: • SUBSCRIBE to the channel http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsSubscribe • Cool Worlds Lab http://coolworlds.astro.columbia.edu • Twitter / david_kipping • Instagram / cool.worlds • THANKS FOR WATCHING!!
