TEDxUniversityofGothenburg - Maria Sundin - Water - a necessity for life on Earth and other Planets January 10, 2012

Why is there water on earth? Life is highly connected to liquid water so the question arises, are there other worlds like ours?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
