That is the inference.

If not for Jupiter and the other Gas Giants, life on Earth would be totally different.....................

I hope we don’t lose all these wonderful things that are so complicated and expensive when society crashes. I hope somehow they can be preserved.

K2-2016-BLG-005Lb is the same size as Jupiter and has about as much chance as Jupiter of harboring life.

Too bad Kepler isn't around to learn about these discoveries with his telescope. Nonetheless, K2-2016-BLG-005Lb will follow Kepler's laws of planetary motion while orbiting its star.

I want physical proof of this exoplanet find and whether there is global warming on that planet. I suggest a mission that sends the all the leading climate change scientists to verify.

The advances in science that we are seeing now will be the future’s arcane, occult knowledge. People will be like, “Do not anger the Sun by suggesting there are other Suns!” *mass slaughter erupts*

Your comment made be remember a Twilight Zone episode where a larger computer was hidden in a cave and its output [daily advice] allowed a small community of survivors of a nuclear war to survive.

A couple of outsiders came into town to claim they were in charge now of the towen which was inside their territory. They beat up the town leader after he resisted, told them they did not belong there and needed to leave. The antagonists in good party demonikraps fashion divided the people, fearful of beatings, against their wise leader, destroyed the computer and told the people they could eat the canned food that the leader warned (on advice of computer) was radioactive and would kill them. They all gorged themselves with the food ... and only the leader survived.

I still miss Pluto. If big balls of GAS can be considered ‘planets’ why can’t she? :(

The demotion of Pluto was a political act by a supposedly scientific org, was a gratuitous and unnecessary action, carried out to belittle the US. IMHO of course. I'll stick with David Levy's view:
"To Pluto And Far Beyond" By David H. Levy, Parade, January 15, 2006 -- We don't have a dictionary definition yet that includes all the contingencies. In the wake of the new discovery, however, the International Astronomical Union has set up a group to develop a workable definition of planet. For our part, in consultation with several experienced planetary astronomers, Parade offers this definition: A planet is a body large enough that, when it formed, it condensed under its own gravity to be shaped like a sphere. It orbits a star directly and is not a moon of another planet.To Pluto -- And Far Beyond
