I for one applaud SETI for continuing their search even with all the skeptics ridiculing them. Just because we have been searching for 60 years means absolutely nothing! The problem is people are so wrapped up in themselves that they don't think of generations ahead of them. I, for one, think it's well worth the hard work even if it doesn't happen in my lifetime. My descendants thousands of years from now will appreciate the work we put in and embraced.
It is a given that life is elsewhere that they were transmitting signals at just the right time for us to detect them here is very very very low probability. Other than getting the feather for discovering it, it will be of little material value I suspect.
+Xipo86 Seth presents on "What if aliens are out there?" Other conferences present on "Aliens are here. This is the latest intel on what they are doing." Seth seems to be behind the times by about a few hundred years.
Agreed ! Question ! why - are we humans - a parasitic and predatory race - that could house and feed the world a thousand times over - be the chosen ones ?

Any type 3 civilisations out there know we are here. Type 3 civilisations will have all the technological capabilities general relativity will allow. These are civilisations that are technologically advanced by at least 1 million years. The most pressing concern for a type 3 civilisation is establishing a communication network that will allow them overcome the distance problem the universe presents. This communication system is for their benefit not ours. If a type 3 civilisation exists it can be inferred our planet and species have already been surveyed simply because they have the technology to do so. They know we are here and they are not interested in contacting us. Even if we manage to detect them they will simply not care. They know what we are simply because they have the technology to know. If you were a leader of a type 3 civilisation, would you donate technology to a species that point nuclear weapons at each other? There will be no short circuiting history. The journey to type 3 is our journey and its being monitored by a type 3 civilisation as I type these words.SETI are in the buisness of measurement not investigation. Mr Shostak needs to look closer to home.
Back in high school, I saw couple of Mentos' shape UFOs by my own eyes, they hovering above the sky and orbiting each other for 20s then disappear, I tell my friend to look at it and he sees it too. Their movement is very fast and freely.
Seti is based on a flawed premise, which is that extraterrestrials are using radio-frequency to communicate. Seems to me that advanced extraterrestrial beings would have evolved to a level where they can communicate across Interstellar space which would disallow RF transmission because of the slowness of the speed of light. What is more logical to me that these Advanced beings would have evolved to a level whereby they communicate via telepathy which the large SETI antenna arrays they're using cannot detect. Even if aliens were using RF to communicate there's the issue of synchronicity.
@Baltimorean Adventures raw unedited content and that is assuming the life on that planet is synchronous with ours. If their Planet came and went 12 billion years ago the signals might have passed through us already long before we're able to detect them. Synchronicity greatly reduces the odds
Good points. If you have an open mind, read these books by Marshall Summers : Allies of humanity (4 books) Life In The Universe. These books will confirm your thoughts but also answer why ET is not openly here.

All is well.
Hopefully death holds the answer. Probably not, but wouldn't it be nice to die, and immediately open your eyes in a new world, and hear someone yell "next!!" As if the life you just lived was actually just a complex simulation you paid to experience.
We could go on forever like that my friend!, I would hate to have the choice, imagine how many "Just let me see what developed HERE", you would never stop in any field you chose lol
You saw how technology faster and faster is changing and has changed the world. You are one of the last guys how could grew up without the internet and all the overwhelming stuff that is going on. So if this isn’t an honor I don’t know brother
A commitment for something greater to understand and possibly achieve is always something to be admired. Hopeful to see results in near future. That is what i´ve got as a human being.
The give away for our planet being here and having life on it, would be detected by aliens in the same way we are going about looking for alien worlds that support life. The give away would be the spectral analysis of the earths atmosphere where large amounts of oxygen would immediately indicate life. And there's almost no chance that our planet hasn't been surveyed.
@@laceygreentrees1299 intelligence can be learned how much is different from person to person some just absorb more than others it doesn't mean that one unable to reach a high IQ is less than one with a high IQ it means to achieve are highest potential we all have to work together
They don't have to be more advanced. In fact most alien life is microbial. However, if we detect an alien broadcast signal, the statistical probability(given the age of the Milky Way galaxy) would be that they are a much older civilization provided that they have been broadcasting throughout their existence. However, this is a questionable premise given our planet will go radio broadcast quiet in the next 100 years. This would suggest that the radio broadcasting alien civilization (cont'd)
This was a beautiful talk, engaging, thoughtful and inspiring. Dr. Seth keep up the good work. I find it sad that so many people believe in ET without any scientific evidence but don't believe in global warming with all the evidence around us!
He is mostly anecdotal, according to himself. His brain is also porous, as he stated. Not sure he can instill confidence. The more we learn, the more we realize just how rare and miraculous we are. If we do meet ET, we will be the Indians.
You may be thinking about radio waves such as those used by AM/FM radio stations but we broadcast a lot more than this. And it gets only bigger. Obvious examples are mobile phones, GPS but also all the electromagnetic radiations produced by all kinds of electronics. Maybe we can imagine an advanced civilisation which wouldn't produce any artificial radiations but the likelihood that we're not the only one to produce those is pretty high in my opinion.
I think that is an issue he effectively ferreted around. What about nuclear explosions? Those seem like they would be easy to detect somehow, but it also seems like any place we detect those would be on its last legs.
Radio signals can only travel at the speed of light so any signal we can receive could be thousands of years old if the signal survives. If faster than light communication is possible there would be a small period of time where a civilization uses radio and FTL communication, with FTL communication eventually replacing radio when the technology becomes cheap enough to implement everywhere. We most likely have a small window to catch radio signals.
Yes the real problem is synchronicity and it doesn't address the more significant issue that advanced alien beings probably are not using radio signals they're using telepathy which cannot be detected on the SETI arrays
An intriguing issue is the capacity to travel such huge distances through space. Beyond our solar system the nearest star is about 280,000 equivalent distances from Earth to Sun, i.e., the nearest star is about 26 trillion miles from Earth. At the speed of light it takes just less than 10 minutes to reach the sun but 4.3 years to get to the nearest star. Obviously, if advanced life has been hovering in our neighborhood, then they figured out how to circumvent the speed of light barrier.
in two dozen years seth will be in his 90s, so hopefully he does get to see or hear evidence of aliens, like all of them that dedicate there lives to the 'are we alone' question, hope its sooner rather than later.
They are closer then you think!!! its all based of understanding of communication, vibrations, frequencies, energy, your thought process and your heart and it's harmonics
Everything we need is a common goal. It is not the intelligence of a species which differs from the others. One can very well kill one another by being intelligent. We only need to have an idea, a common dream. All we have to do is move forward collectively. For now, all we are doing is seeing in the short term, according to territories (countries) and their resources. We could have the universe, by our intelligence, but we prefer freedom, comfort ,security(in one way) and individual power.
What is e.t. is using something more advanced then we are? Sub space or s faster than light communication things we can't even pick up? Besides we are trying to call France with a toy walkie talkie. I don't think we are going to reach them with are current methods.
nice guy, interesting ideas - i believe that it would be selfish to support that we are alone in this galaxy... BUT on the other hand is crazy cause we are spending so much money on these equipment the same moments there are people starving. Thank you.
(cont'd) would be at most 100 years more advanced then us. Now they couldn't be technologically equivalent to us in the 1600's simply because we hadn't invented radio transmission in the 1600's. Furthermore, since we have been radio broadcasting for about 100 years, the odds would be about even that they are more advanced then us. Finally, the odds for SETI's success are really remote given that they(radio capable civilizations) are on average much older and silent.

Great speaker, funny, very interesting and comitted and pasionette about his chosen field. Of course we are not alone, the odds are against it completely
If you think about it logically, where they are from they probably thought at one point they were the only life in the universe. Just like we do. Imagine when/if we find any form of life elsewhere, dont you think we would be studying it? just as they would with us?

Hey if we pick up signals, how long did it take for those signals to reach our sensors? Will that mean that what ever signals from ETs we pick up are just from a bygone era?
We may be more unnoticed than you think. Most exoplanets discovered so far are more than 100 light-years away from us. It means the only signals they can currently see coming from Earth are from 1900 or before, certainly not a lot of interesting signals for them to study. So, if they're really more advanced than us, it's actually very likely that we find them before they find us.
Well, do this as a hobby between your 20's to your 50's and see what's different at that time. But in the meantime, put your efforts into a better life for yourself and family and friends, right here, right, now.
There is still so many variables to know if there is or was technological life out there..... Maybe their signals passed us when we were using Clovis points and they're now gone or they're using Clovis points now and we'll be gone when their signals reach us. My head hurts. Lol. I want to know the answer to this question so very bad.....this and so very many others.
It is obvious that terrestrial continents could not be formed by any known geological of chemical process. There are speculative articles in scientific journals, but non of these speculations enjoy much support. Hoffman's claim that it was a grazing collision between Earth and Theia does not make sense because the enormous heat of the collision would have melted the entire surface of the earth and liquid sial (granite) would have coated the entire surface of the earth (like Venus and Mars).
If he is right and we make contact with a more advanced society, what if they have made contact with other advanced societies? That's an awesome scenario!!
I have studied this subject for many years, I had no option really as a metallic disc came over head one evening in the 70's while I was outside my house with my friends, it was totally silent and looked like brushed aluminium and at about 1,000 feet. I have long yearned for the truth to come out over this whole thing. Does anyone see what I see in this broadcast?.....he is so precise about the time scale of 2 dozen years. WHY?.....looks like a classic case of priming to me. I believe SETI know full well about the E.T. visitations and have done for years, and that now we have so many credible people going public on you tube...Edgar Mitchell ...Gordon Cooper and ex-military bods...official disclosure is only a matter of time. Double chocolate on my cappuccino please Seth you old rascal.
Steve G, you need to get it drawn or have what you saw compared to other sighting which are similar to the craft you saw. That's what I would do if I was lucky enough to see it! You're damn lucky!
What if we are the first to seed the universe with intelligence? Somehow life would be able to take hold somewhere else in the universe because it survived the journey to a far off planet. Maybe the viking probe crashed on a planet with water and an atmosphere and the tiny bits started to grow . What if?
Stephen Hawking said if ET is out there, let him stay out there. Anyone reaching us by technology would not be intimidated by our pathetic defense measures. But that's the rub: we have no way of knowing if we are missing out on the wisdom and goodwill in the Universe, or avoiding annihilation. Sadly, the stakes are such that perhaps we should remain quiet, but only for now...
I dnt think people should be so excited that we are trying to contact our next overlords!! If we are just listening thats fine. But they are trying to contact the ETs.
I hate when they take Moore's law for granted, and don't forget that any signal we might pick up, most probably traveled thousands of light years. ( Milky Way has radius about ~50k light years 'horizontally' and 500 'vertically', and while the center shadows a lot of the other part, we are still in an outer region. ) So those who sent it are either extinct or thousands of years more advanced than us. (Moore's law? :D) With that said, I am kinda hoping for a cup of coffee anyway. :)
Humanities response, a mass psychosis on a global scale The shock would be profound and would have a major negative effect on people's sense of self, security, even for most the meaning of life, your existence. Scarey thought.
Why would aliens who can send signals necessarily be way more advanced than us? If we can send signals with our current technology now, then aliens at our same technological level would be able to aswell.
I understand that, but the point i was trying to make is that most people don't think extra terrestrials can have worse technology than us, but about the same intelligence, which to me, is a "stereotype".
Love of learning and science literacy can be sprouted from infancy; then a greater % of human potential realizable. More sociopolitical will necessary. Evidence lacking that Humans are the exalted of creation.
One trillion planets in our neighborhood alone and we still try to beat each other up over this tiny piece of crap we call earth. Can't we just go to space already?

The problem Seth has is that by ignoring the data (unless is comes in via one so his sponsored data streams) he is ultimately will undermine big science and scientific determination. The data suggests that there are non-terrestrial ‘objects’ being seen and recorded as ‘incidents’ all the time by the military and NASA. The fact the they don’t look up Seth in the phone book and talk to him, is quite an arrogant position to adopt. The question itself and the current debate amongst physicists, is much bigger than Seth can handle.

Hey if we pick up signals, how long did it take for those signals to reach our sensors? Will that mean that what ever signals from ETs we pick up are just from a bygone era?
We may be more unnoticed than you think. Most exoplanets discovered so far are more than 100 light-years away from us. It means the only signals they can currently see coming from Earth are from 1900 or before, certainly not a lot of interesting signals for them to study. So, if they're really more advanced than us, it's actually very likely that we find them before they find us.
Wellseth 2021. Yep real professor
i think it has to be .. life as we know it .. because we know of no other type of life other the one we are experiencing at this very moment ..
Well, do this as a hobby between your 20's to your 50's and see what's different at that time. But in the meantime, put your efforts into a better life for yourself and family and friends, right here, right, now.
You are pointing the antennas the wrong way. They are underground and under the sea in the Mariana's Trench
There is still so many variables to know if there is or was technological life out there..... Maybe their signals passed us when we were using Clovis points and they're now gone or they're using Clovis points now and we'll be gone when their signals reach us. My head hurts. Lol. I want to know the answer to this question so very bad.....this and so very many others.
It takes 4 million years for a radio wave to hit the end of our galaxy...
It is obvious that terrestrial continents could not be formed by any known geological of chemical process. There are speculative articles in scientific journals, but non of these speculations enjoy much support. Hoffman's claim that it was a grazing collision between Earth and Theia does not make sense because the enormous heat of the collision would have melted the entire surface of the earth and liquid sial (granite) would have coated the entire surface of the earth (like Venus and Mars).
subtitles are very very outside of time
If he is right and we make contact with a more advanced society, what if they have made contact with other advanced societies? That's an awesome scenario!!
Great talk!
Is there still cocktail parties 🤔
Fantastic !...Loved it
I have studied this subject for many years, I had no option really as a metallic disc came over head one evening in the 70's while I was outside my house with my friends, it was totally silent and looked like brushed aluminium and at about 1,000 feet. I have long yearned for the truth to come out over this whole thing. Does anyone see what I see in this broadcast?.....he is so precise about the time scale of 2 dozen years. WHY?.....looks like a classic case of priming to me. I believe SETI know full well about the E.T. visitations and have done for years, and that now we have so many credible people going public on you tube...Edgar Mitchell ...Gordon Cooper and ex-military bods...official disclosure is only a matter of time. Double chocolate on my cappuccino please Seth you old rascal.
Steve G, you need to get it drawn or have what you saw compared to other sighting which are similar to the craft you saw. That's what I would do if I was lucky enough to see it! You're damn lucky!
18:30 Dumbledore was there...he must be planning something big😳
+anwalborn lol
Holy shit I can see him
Haaaahahahah I saw him too!
😂😂😂
Well would you look at that! ...indistinguishable from magic! Lol.
What if we're so insignificant that we're the pioneer ant on the counter 😶
Really interesting guy. Can't wait for first contact !
Dave Fisher see ‘to the stars academy’
What if we are the first to seed the universe with intelligence? Somehow life would be able to take hold somewhere else in the universe because it survived the journey to a far off planet. Maybe the viking probe crashed on a planet with water and an atmosphere and the tiny bits started to grow . What if?
Great, very interesting video. Thanks.
Almost one dozen years since he said this. We'll see if he turns out to be right.
Stephen Hawking said if ET is out there, let him stay out there. Anyone reaching us by technology would not be intimidated by our pathetic defense measures. But that's the rub: we have no way of knowing if we are missing out on the wisdom and goodwill in the Universe, or avoiding annihilation. Sadly, the stakes are such that perhaps we should remain quiet, but only for now...
18:27 this guy... I think he knows something we don't.
I dnt think people should be so excited that we are trying to contact our next overlords!! If we are just listening thats fine. But they are trying to contact the ETs.
that 1997 false alarm was on the exact day that I was born.
Chance of intelligent life on that day verses reality hehe
They currently received 7 or more FRBs to date that repeating, but they still have no clue.
This guy would change his mind about the existence of E.T. walking the forest of Colorado!
I think ET is using Quantum Entanglement to communicate which is why we will never find them looking for radio signals. (maybe)
I hate when they take Moore's law for granted, and don't forget that any signal we might pick up, most probably traveled thousands of light years. ( Milky Way has radius about ~50k light years 'horizontally' and 500 'vertically', and while the center shadows a lot of the other part, we are still in an outer region. ) So those who sent it are either extinct or thousands of years more advanced than us. (Moore's law? :D) With that said, I am kinda hoping for a cup of coffee anyway. :)
is graph really exponential!
But, more importantly what if ET, from the movie "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", is out there?
Humanities response, a mass psychosis on a global scale The shock would be profound and would have a major negative effect on people's sense of self, security, even for most the meaning of life, your existence. Scarey thought.
Guess yus havnt heard of Linda Moulton-Houw
Some of us are interested in the Higgs boson...
In 20 years from today ill want my cup of coffee... :)
Make that 14 years since it was published in 2012...
Did anyone notice Dumboldoor?
Maybe he should do some public school talks.
Why would aliens who can send signals necessarily be way more advanced than us? If we can send signals with our current technology now, then aliens at our same technological level would be able to aswell.
I understand that, but the point i was trying to make is that most people don't think extra terrestrials can have worse technology than us, but about the same intelligence, which to me, is a "stereotype".
mother of god. @18:30 dumbledore!! :O
he is a brilliant person :D
11:01 exploration like in WoW? You get "The Explorer" title. Check it!
Seth is the funniest scientist that you could ever met :D
HERE'S what this lecture doesn't point out: If intelligence life is out there, there's a 0% chance they don't already know we are here.
Actually there at least 40 trillion planets (bodies over 500 miles in diameter) in our galaxy.
Seth....Seth...please contact Tom DeLonge as soon as possible....he might have some useful information for you. Thanks
Haha. Seth isn't going to talk to anyone who might change his thinking. Then he wouldn't be able to deliver any more of his presentations.
It's Dumbledore
Love of learning and science literacy can be sprouted from infancy; then a greater % of human potential realizable. More sociopolitical will necessary.
Evidence lacking that Humans are the exalted of creation.
One trillion planets in our neighborhood alone and we still try to beat each other up over this tiny piece of crap we call earth. Can't we just go to space already?
-- Alan Wilson Watts has been dead for almost 40 years now. Seems like he's been missing the point of life for quite some while now. On the long run it'll be as if he'd never existed.

--Yashida (The Wolverine).
ET is out there because he's definitely not here.
Make video n post it only if u have any proof of ET, else what's the use in reminding us of Columbus...
four years later.. looking like intelligent life might be quite rare.
The implication that we are miracles does not imply we are exclusive
The problem Seth has is that by ignoring the data (unless is comes in via one so his sponsored data streams) he is ultimately will undermine big science and scientific determination. The data suggests that there are non-terrestrial ‘objects’ being seen and recorded as ‘incidents’ all the time by the military and NASA. The fact the they don’t look up Seth in the phone book and talk to him, is quite an arrogant position to adopt. The question itself and the current debate amongst physicists, is much bigger than Seth can handle.

The conceptual framework on what ET may actually be, is very limited.
why all the if and buts ? Its statistically impossible not to be life in the universe simple as that
