Y’a-t-il un plan B pour la Terre ? | Marc Pircher | TEDxToulouse


is there a plan b for the earth

that’s a question actually

a few dozen years when that

pose and me it’s been 40 years that I

works in the space that I

is working on making satellites and

make instruments that look

space or where are the stars that

look at the earth it’s sometimes the

the same one telescopes all the

wavelengths and I’m doing this for who

I did that for 40 years

for astrophysicists for

planetologists for geophysicists

for 12.2 oceanologists for

meteorologists

and then all the lots that you want

except astrologers except the

astrologers and so we worked and

we worked with all these

scientists who are often good

scientists because we select

the best to try to do the

best instruments to do

advance knowledge of their

discipline they are each in their

disciplined

so there are some who watch

the universe trying to see how old

he’s trying to see if by chance he

are not the conditions of life a little

everywhere and then there are those who watch

the earth who looks at how they are

develop how they are I the

like in his system a system

flat earth like a ship

spatial you will see and then look here

how life interacts on earth then

once we’ve done a series

of instruments for much discussed with

both can be said that

finally yes the question to the

question finally she exists

the question are asked and the question

this poses why because the man in

does it’s an explorer and the man

since all time what he did

he operated a region here lives in

a region then when they had

bigger thing was elsewhere since

moves and its pearlescent pigments

country then the peasants exploit peas have

have been looking elsewhere they have strong and

they have to exploit they did the

culture they cultivated the planet and

eventually they colonized the planet

whole and there is no longer a being

living on earth who does not know that

the man exists since disturbs him

everywhere so the existence of the man on

earth and water neither present now

we know that the earth is

relatively inhabited everywhere we

was everywhere that the forest

exploited by all we will try to

understand where she is what is

space taught us then space

taught us apa that the space that we

learned that finally when we say that the

earth is round it’s true but it makes

still hundreds of years

when I do but that makes

dozens of years a few decades

since the adventurous space

she is only 60 years old

and I worked there

for 40 years two-thirds you

imagine it so in this case there

what happened is that

the image you have of your universe has

damn evolved and you have

today a lot of information that

tells us what we are

so we are we are in a universe and

billions of galaxies that you in

legs

this huge there is 13.7 billion

years

so we went back we learned from

instruments that were watched there

down deep there to try to

see right after the big bang

how did it develop

antimatter matter it all starts

at that time billions of galaxies

and our galaxy

among the billions finally went to

they date its old 13.5

billion years and then our sun

in a corner on an arm of the galaxy

and in this galaxy there are

billion canvases billions of

suns of times much bigger than the

ours and our sun our sun

what is it full of good

thermonuclear sabers belonging to

brühl samassa thing to

huge temperatures and it returns from

radiation everywhere everywhere

everywhere and around this secret sun in

does a solar system it turns out that

the further we look, the more we go

account that a lot of systems

become create like that it’s to

to say that you have a star and then

around them and a lot of stuff

which are actually the liettes of the

realization of the star and who is

find to be the planets then we

we have an incredible chance

we have an incredible chance because we have a

system finally we are not too

near the sun is not too far

of the sun are not too hot not too hot

cold and then we have to jupiter and saturn

jupiter and saturate it’s a couple

nice because if we did not

the two jupiter it would have been towards the

sun passing he had caught

so it’s been billions of years

that this system is stable

amazing no wonder because we

look at solar systems further

and we realize are not always

that it moves a bit it’s not that

rest it’s not stuff completely

static that one there is stable since

several billion years which

makes that many millions of years

the notary she is still well

well protected by the sun on one side

who pick up anything that risks

pass and then and then saturate and

Jupiter

so to go see a little bit

how does it work you saw that in

this system there are slags and

crumbs actually making them

crumbs what are asteroids and

the comet plates and there

that one I think you

know all about yon bob berry

semenko is a comet smiles we have

put one made billions of

kilometers 10 billion kilowatts

for bets to land on it and we

landed on it we were waiting for a

blog

there appeared a block of ice and we

had something at 0.43 density and that

allows scientists to better

understand our system

so after behind the distances I

will make you very simple our

solar system the earth is at a

meter of the sun put the earth a

master of the sun okay the whole the

solar system and holds in the room

pluton is at the end of the room 35

meters time away so you have

the whole solar system here the

first star

near the centaur or centaur alpha

four light years where that 256

kilometers if I’m still at a

meter to Mont-Soleil 256 kilometers

it’s bordeaux

okay and then the famous first

galaxy andromeda 2009 million

of light years ben seven first

galaxies go on the original sun

and learn a lot about it

we are still cool

good this said there are still plenty of

cold stuff in the space then has the

dimensions ben we are the little

ticket next to a big balloon

football anyway huh it’s jupiter who

the big big nice mesh

so now let’s talk about our

land which is the only one to house the

life today that we know

first we are there to live

extremely weak then we are there

what makes it possible to be there

three spatial parameters only

because I know that then

the thing is the magnetosphere the

sun I told you an atomic bomb

we will say addition of radiation from

radiation then suddenly we have a

magnetosphere that is not too bad

oriented which slows down and which deviates in

do all these rays that ever there

did not have that thing down there we were dying

our life today is dead we say we

might have adapted otherwise

since we found on the station

international a bacterium that holds

radiation at the bakhtin relay you

know how cells put some

radiations above or salted you do

most of the time that’s how

does proton therapy in medicine on

kill the cells with that but there we

we are protected gratin magnetosphere

we are protected also thanks to

escaudes then make the atmosphere

we’re gasping today because of the gases at

greenhouse effect but fortunately there

a little bit because the sun

heats up our atmosphere

homogenizes the temperature on the

planet through ocean trade

atmosphere and you have a

average temperature on the planet’s

15 degrees otherwise you I connect it the

night permanently so there too and

then it’s not that great thing

is 100 km and confident 10 km at best

at best 3 km to the east where people who

are above 3000 m for many

so in fact you have you have all the

world in a little trick

really fragile would be clara

seriously so now water then

water without water we do not live then we have

found water everywhere in the universe

so find her in everything and then and

then there on our land the 70% of water

on the oceans but finally do

a little stupid computation of volume of

the ionosphere all the salt water is

the little blue ball there the big one

blue ball went the big bible that

it’s all dirty and all

oceans grouped and the little bible

eco2 okay it’s small underneath

that you have not even actually it’s this

which circulates annually renew

every year actually in this case

what we see is that it’s

damn fragile to a little bit of

the purest foot an asteroid

fortunately we stayed for

millions of years without having too much

of collision percussion that we

was coming from space so the earth the water

and fundamental so why do we get there

is very interested in water because

that the ol in the magazine the temperature

going magazine all that man has

done for 50 years so here I have a

complicated thing but that simply says

that the water has kept all the heat

between spades accumulated since the 50

last years

so what are we doing able

this water and we see that on the way up

she climbed 7 cm since 1992 she

made 3.5 millimeters a year since the

last decade the decade before

30% less agree it speeds up and

so we say to ourselves what is that doing

what makes that is what makes

that’s my uncle ho then there are three

important parameters water waters

continental warming

the ocean is warming up and

global warming

it heats and especially the melting of

ice cream melting ice cream made 50%

from the rise of ocean water into

average on earth this not homogeneous

everywhere but on average

and then there is something you need to know

it is that we do not see it since

the satellites and you have pictures

take old photos and in 1900

you had a glacier with waters of the rhone

did source of rhône morning there nothing

strictly nothing in 108 years ago

more steel and that’s stuff

who has everywhere and today we can

to say oneself

climate warming what we

see in the atmosphere it’s some

thing that becomes consequent the cut

21 all that was talking about a lot

what is happening today

you have all the emerging countries that

say continually ban us

why we would not like you

common it is dirty and union

European

so in fact you have india and the

China who speaks at full speed

so he starts to be aware of the

problem if they start to be

aware of the problem

there is a real problem is the

real problem it is that

when we will be placed after the 21st

century and well for a thousand years 20% of

what we have already generated

will always find in the atmosphere

even if we stop tomorrow so that

keep warming up and if you

lose all the ice in Greenland

have raised the water by 7 meters 7

meters and poses a problem anyway

this net will make you a number of

climatic refugees absolutely

fabulous when you look at the earth the

earth and inhabit the earth is inhabited

we see it very well from space

with actually the lights at night and

when you look at their grains that

are rejected emerged but you

see also the waterfront it is you

a thing you in indonesia bordering the

brazil america america america

north etc.

people 7 m all this it is necessary that they

go elsewhere and that’s not in

that’s in a few we talk about 100

200 years we are not talking

thousands of years so there it takes

start asking questions but

was it then was asked

who finally gave in

there are people who start to

watch and we explore the universe on

the exploit in oranie machin for

the automatic moment to go

watch march march why because

marcela planets sisters of the earth

you saw earlier on the

solar system march in fact during

2.5 billion years ago March has

exactly had the same life as the earth

same and so we sent the

things to look at why this is

the same we look at volcanoes or the

same pace

we think that on march there is still a

home a plasma dull it’s not safe

we will do measurements in 2018 and then

we sent something in 2012 called

curiosity and who actually has demonstrated

scientifically today that march has

Living was inhabited by his

were habitable

we found water ph 7 so it goes

find lots of stuff and that actually

would say that marseille

rather livable the atmosphere this

mini bar the most possible thing of

hold on it and the temperatures

no longer suitable for us our

life to us I do protection

planetary I avoid going to lead the

life on a plea for a duration like

as what there’s been

life would not work so you have to

put in situation to say what are we going

colonize it is what now at

instead of going to explore we will exploit

so there you have lots of stuff that

shows there not telling himself since on

earth it’s getting a little small we’re going

go exploit the space in

exploitation of space its part on

march to finally say let’s go

formed mars terraformer fed up with it wants

to say what does it mean to give him a

atmosphere it’s completely

impossible

you have the saturated atmosphere of co2

90% you have just launched hydrogen

did not have hydrogen that direction

with methane and water it’s not

wrong and with the onf is actually

oxygen then after 11h then we want

call up and have brought up my

theater if we base ourselves a little

March ice caps there and then

you got some pressure from me

600,000 barca should start well and

then after eh well you started to

planting stuff is a few

millennia a few millennia

then he is there the other con d idea

extraordinary is that ben there are

billions of dhs stars of which there are

billion exoplanets have been found in

today so about 3600 but that’s

go up it goes up we always find

so in fact exoplanets are there

everywhere cases a sun machin have

ended up realizing that I

always planets around talent there

I’m having fun getting out of the box

second

that is to say that we are there

on earth in fact imagine you on

something far away and that we are

went 10000 20000 in addition to experience

technology has been 20 years

look at space with telescopes

Well, I’m not far from

persuaded that on one if ever there is

smart people on a head that

know that the land and livable

yeah since we’re trying to

watch them and the other things there

and we realize that eventually they

maybe go tally table and we have

found we found planets

against the atmosphere good so there is

maybe who’s sleeping for thousands

of years know that the earth and

habitable

so if she knows

that she is not inhabited since that

has been a shock for the last 100 years

the light in the space that radiates

rations so if 1100

light years maybe but it’s

very small without naming light finally

however, there are some who think that

could go then so they

invent ships of 100 tons

had stalled nuclear propulsion for

do something like that it takes

the energy of two years of France

two years of France completely

dedicated to 100 jal you are taken with the

budget obviously good I think we

will continue exploring the space

that it seems obvious to me we’re going

continue to go look at the land of

carve the earth to see in what

state she places herself till she

live well is what we protect her well

and then we will certainly send some

explorers like our thomas

national who makes them naughty spirit

pioneer fabulous island boy david and

of a Toulouse school l1 I you

remember and I hope very much

Sincerely, let’s not go

to exploit the airspace goes

exploit the night with grounds must

believe knowing that today the

yields are extremely low

when you send when you do

back 300 tons of the moon it took

to send three thousand tons of which has

yield one in ten thousand know

tricks that work well with on

ten does not launch terrible good so a

once we’ve seen all that

thinks we’re finally saying

well we end up with a planet

which needs to be used a whole

little bit differently and so we are on

is in a hedge on a on a diagram

where we have to start modifying our

functioning on the planet for the

protect and develop

sustainable and I think we will be

way condemned to confinement

planetary during a certain numbers

of century yet but as the earth

is finally really pretty why

because we’re really good at adapting

the proof we breathe well bought a

ticket and all that why because

We have been evolving on this

earth so we are well suited on

that’s this proton earth people there and there is

much worse as purpose since it is

really joly thank you

[Applause]
