He never mentioned intelligent life or technological life. Given our only example so far (Earth) it seems likely that life may be relatively common in the universe since it started here virtually as soon as life was possible here. But it also seems that technological life is likely extremely rare since it's only happened once here with countless millions of species over billions of years. It's unlikely we will ever be contacting another technological life form. The universe if a big place, and so there well may be many others. But if it's that rare we may be alone in the galaxy and so might as well be alone in the universe. Even if there are a few others in this galaxy, they may be too far away to ever detect.

It is basically the same size and mass; however it seems to be more stable and less volatile... that 11 year sunspot cycle we experience... Hera doesn't appear to have that problem.

Ooh, describe it, sounds awesome. How close was it, did you see any marking that screamed US GOV? Or was it blank with barely no symbolism, that might just be a human thing, to symbolize everything in shapes and colors.
@@RIOT690 I've been telling this tale for over 50 years, but funny thing is it seems to be never far from my current thoughts. I attended the 20th McMenamins UFO festival last year and am planning on going again this year. OK.... In the late 60s, in addition to my full time job, I ran a car repair business on the side. Sometime in December I was finishing up a job on the local chiropractor's 59 Edsel. As it was an unheated shop, it was cold and about 10 PM I decided to go into the house and grab a cup of hot coffee. My shop was detached and as I was walking to the house, something made me look up just in time to see a very low classic UFO flying saucer fly directly over me and my house. It's possible it was making a hum that caught my attention, but I'm not saying so. Although it was dark, my unshielded front porch light lit it up really well. My house was maybe 30' long and the UFO was about the same width and I'd say no more than 50' above me, making it appear quite large. On it's belly in the center was a tight triangle of three brilliant red lights. It wasn't until the next day, as I was telling coworkers about it, I suddenly realized that although that craft was quite low, it never made a whisper. No evident writing or markings, but then it was dark except for my porch light. Although it moved over me, as it went over my house, the house blocked it from any farther view, but I have kicked myself ever since for not going farther past my house so I could have watched it farther after it passed over. At the time I was cold and just wanting some hot coffee, it hadn't fully yet registered what I had just witnessed, but if I could do it over, I would proceeded to the front of the house and watched it until it disappeared. Also, I was in my mid 20's and even though I thought I knew it all, I had a lot to learn. As soon as the weather gets much warmer, I'm riding my motorcycle down to Roswell to check out the UFO museum there.
Some where out in the vast reaches of space there is a being looking up at the night sky wondering if there is life out there. Yes, there is, we are that life.
are we alone ? who cares . take care of Earth first.. so much money wasted and we still have no health care, and people still are homeless and hungry..
This talk went downhill at the end once he started promoting his political agenda. At first I thought he meant everyone there was nerds lol (and don’t worry I’m one too, so don’t take offense to that.) But why must we strive for diversity? We obviously should NOT push minorities or women out of the field on that basis, but I don’t think we should try to force more of them into it either. That will only push out other people solely on the basis of their race or gender identity, who are equally or potentially more qualified. If you ask me, we need equality, and that’s the end all be all, not forced diversity via affirmative action or worse yet quotas, just to evenly represent races and gender. I think the best way to do this is to just not consider those factors at all, and remove all methods of possible unconscious bias, if you are worried about that, because while I don’t buy it, I’d certainly take that over forcing diversity.
This duration is a bit of a problem, as it makes space exploration a painstakingly slow process. Even if we hopped aboard the space shuttle discovery, which can travel 5 miles a second, it would take us about 37,200 years to go one light-year.
@@aylbdrmadison1051: The US has a secret stargate program that began with the Philadelphia Experiment in October 1943 which included Albert Einstein and Tesla's papers.
In my opinion, a science talk shouldn’t be addressing sociological or political issues that are unrelated to the subject matter. Granted, science isn’t done in public lectures (and there is no evidence that this guy has any bias affecting his actual work), but the public perception of science, especially for astronomy, is highly important. It doesn’t matter if I agree with it or not, even though for many of the angry commenters that is their main concern it seems. If you want to promote diversity, then encourage people to go into STEM fields, that’s how you might create diversity in a merit based system. Do that, go do talks about that. I’m all for that, but it’s not part of the science here and these issues carry a heavily politicized connotation today. Sticking them inside of a science talk is weird to me. You can see people here responding to the few things he said by calling him a “cultist”; does anyone think these clearly unbiased non-cultists are going to continue watching and caring about the science he’s disseminating? Something to consider.

@@aylbdrmadison1051 obviously we are not alone in the near infinite universe. But when the nearest galaxy is 200 light-years away our only chance of ever finding advanced life out there is via light speed communication. Meaning, that communication would take at least 400 years of travel time. It is scientifically impossible to go anywhere near light-speed. To actually travel there using the most incredible advanced technology hundred years into the future would still take millions of years. Even though, it would take tens of millions of years now. At the most, using non delusional optimism, you might be able to cut that time to 1/10 and make it a million years. How about, just make it the completely absurd impossible speed of lightspeed, it will still take 200+ years. Idiocracy is in effect. For humans to even still exist in 400 years would be the first miracle. Actual travel, absurd.
@@OldHickory7 It is absurd, such as other ideas are absurd. The whole concept of the internet, as we know it, seemed absurd even 50 years ago. That doesn't mean that we should view this idea as impossible. The reason we advance as a civilization is because we are determined to pursue ideas that have only slight possibilities. I agree that lightspeed is impossible (just looking at the physics of it). BUT there is still a possibility of fast travel via wormholes. Time to embrace absurdity.

I think the answer is here on earth not in space, can substance or chemicals be brought together in such a maner as to creat life and what is the probibility if thas is proved.. else if if we find microbial life on othe planets we can start speculating the probibility...
You might not find planets like ours anyway, as maybe life has already consumed the planet (or destroyed by natural disaster) or life has not developed yet. If there is life out there I guess it is going to be very hard to find it.

With structures like the great pyramid and many others, and us still incapable of duplicating, leave alone figuring them out... i would not come say ‘hi’ either.

Or we’re waiting for their transmissions or them to get to us. Or worse yet.... either/both of those things are already here!! Man I love conspiracy theories
AW Crowe You're right, but with limited time and resources we must at least start by looking for conditions that we know can support life. That's already like looking for a needle in a cosmic haystack, which is obviously very challenging. But if we don't even know what we're searching for, then it becomes much more challenging.
We are not alone. The Universe is so big and so vast that it is just impossible for there not to be intelligent life. We live on nothing but a pale blue dot. Our existence is the best proof that we have. If life in the Universe didn't exist, then we wouldn't.
It's not that easy. Do you think that you can have life in a galaxy that was not a spiral galaxy? only 6% of galaxies are spiral. Do you think that you can have life in a dwarf galaxy, or a giant galaxy? No, you will need a galaxy like the Milky Way, not too big, not too small with stable spiral arms and many other conditions. what about a star, a solar system a planet, can you have life on Earth without a moon? Water is not the only habitable zone, there are about 10 others that all have to overlap.
Can we get thru one TED talk without a “Hillary will be president” or “I’m going to cry because Trump won” joke??? “We need diversity,...as long as they think the way I do!”
Why not just take a statistical analysis of the number of people who say they've been abducted vs. the average number of people who suffer from delirium and or patho liars, at some point the realization will hit, that 1/5 ppl state they've had some encounter with UFO or alien life, vs. a very small percentage who meet either or a combination of those two criteria.

damn this guy really crashed and burned at the end of this presentation.
Dylan Burts - Which of the hypothesis presented did he not explain adequately¿ How did he not communicate the composition issue of this and other scientific communities¿
@@deayrs by the end of his presentation, he couldnt make up his mind if he wanted to be an activist, or a scientist. to be fair, he could be fair. He should have considered bringing up his agenda to lecture the audience and viewers about diversity and his personal views of the government in another discussion. it was irrelevant to his actual topic.

Disliked for politicizing this...

If he had seen the classic "Flying Saucer" fly low and slow over his house, like I did in the late 60's, he wouldn't be asking this question.
Ooh, describe it, sounds awesome. How close was it, did you see any marking that screamed US GOV? Or was it blank with barely no symbolism, that might just be a human thing, to symbolize everything in shapes and colors.
@@RIOT690 I've been telling this tale for over 50 years, but funny thing is it seems to be never far from my current thoughts. I attended the 20th McMenamins UFO festival last year and am planning on going again this year. OK....
In the late 60s, in addition to my full time job, I ran a car repair business on the side. Sometime in December I was finishing up a job on the local chiropractor's 59 Edsel. As it was an unheated shop, it was cold and about 10 PM I decided to go into the house and grab a cup of hot coffee. My shop was detached and as I was walking to the house, something made me look up just in time to see a very low classic UFO flying saucer fly directly over me and my house. It's possible it was making a hum that caught my attention, but I'm not saying so.
Although it was dark, my unshielded front porch light lit it up really well. My house was maybe 30' long and the UFO was about the same width and I'd say no more than 50' above me, making it appear quite large. On it's belly in the center was a tight triangle of three brilliant red lights. It wasn't until the next day, as I was telling coworkers about it, I suddenly realized that although that craft was quite low, it never made a whisper. No evident writing or markings, but then it was dark except for my porch light.
Although it moved over me, as it went over my house, the house blocked it from any farther view, but I have kicked myself ever since for not going farther past my house so I could have watched it farther after it passed over. At the time I was cold and just wanting some hot coffee, it hadn't fully yet registered what I had just witnessed, but if I could do it over, I would proceeded to the front of the house and watched it until it disappeared. Also, I was in my mid 20's and even though I thought I knew it all, I had a lot to learn.
As soon as the weather gets much warmer, I'm riding my motorcycle down to Roswell to check out the UFO museum there.
My Mom saw one too in the late 60's. She said it darted in different directions really fast.
Some where out in the vast reaches of space there is a being looking up at the night sky wondering if there is life out there. Yes, there is, we are that life.
are we alone ? who cares . take care of Earth first.. so much money wasted and we still have no health care, and people still are homeless and hungry..
A person might think you care since you came here. I am assuming you knew the topic.
This talk went downhill at the end once he started promoting his political agenda. At first I thought he meant everyone there was nerds lol (and don’t worry I’m one too, so don’t take offense to that.) But why must we strive for diversity? We obviously should NOT push minorities or women out of the field on that basis, but I don’t think we should try to force more of them into it either. That will only push out other people solely on the basis of their race or gender identity, who are equally or potentially more qualified. If you ask me, we need equality, and that’s the end all be all, not forced diversity via affirmative action or worse yet quotas, just to evenly represent races and gender. I think the best way to do this is to just not consider those factors at all, and remove all methods of possible unconscious bias, if you are worried about that, because while I don’t buy it, I’d certainly take that over forcing diversity.
One of the best Ted Talks on the internet. Well said.
This duration is a bit of a problem, as it makes space exploration a painstakingly slow process. Even if we hopped aboard the space shuttle discovery, which can travel 5 miles a second, it would take us about 37,200 years to go one light-year.

@@BradWatsonMiami That Philadelphia experiment is creepy if there is truth to it.
In my opinion, a science talk shouldn’t be addressing sociological or political issues that are unrelated to the subject matter. Granted, science isn’t done in public lectures (and there is no evidence that this guy has any bias affecting his actual work), but the public perception of science, especially for astronomy, is highly important. It doesn’t matter if I agree with it or not, even though for many of the angry commenters that is their main concern it seems.
If you want to promote diversity, then encourage people to go into STEM fields, that’s how you might create diversity in a merit based system. Do that, go do talks about that. I’m all for that, but it’s not part of the science here and these issues carry a heavily politicized connotation today. Sticking them inside of a science talk is weird to me. You can see people here responding to the few things he said by calling him a “cultist”; does anyone think these clearly unbiased non-cultists are going to continue watching and caring about the science he’s disseminating? Something to consider.
Another hypothesis: life(as we know it) can only occur when we think the factors are suitable

You should look specifically for CFC's, nature does not make them, they persist for a fairly long time, but not geologic time. So their presence is undeniable proof of technological life, or else something else exciting that we have never seen before.

It is simple, We are the aliens we are looking for. We're the proof of life. We are that proof that life exists - They Are Not Alone.
It's good to find a life on other world and if we find it, how are we going there? We can never visit another planet in our life time

@@aylbdrmadison1051 obviously we are not alone in the near infinite universe. But when the nearest galaxy is 200 light-years away our only chance of ever finding advanced life out there is via light speed communication. Meaning, that communication would take at least 400 years of travel time. It is scientifically impossible to go anywhere near light-speed. To actually travel there using the most incredible advanced technology hundred years into the future would still take millions of years. Even though, it would take tens of millions of years now. At the most, using non delusional optimism, you might be able to cut that time to 1/10 and make it a million years. How about, just make it the completely absurd impossible speed of lightspeed, it will still take 200+ years. Idiocracy is in effect. For humans to even still exist in 400 years would be the first miracle. Actual travel, absurd.
@@OldHickory7 Better add lots of zeros to that nearest galaxy claim.
@@OldHickory7 It is absurd, such as other ideas are absurd. The whole concept of the internet, as we know it, seemed absurd even 50 years ago. That doesn't mean that we should view this idea as impossible. The reason we advance as a civilization is because we are determined to pursue ideas that have only slight possibilities. I agree that lightspeed is impossible (just looking at the physics of it). BUT there is still a possibility of fast travel via wormholes. Time to embrace absurdity.

What if some of the planets out there has life on them now but because they are so far away , their light reaches us in a thousands of years !!! So now we are watching their far past ???
Well the Cubs won the series the same year this was posted. He must have Been one happy SOB
and then cried his eyes out on election night
@Deathpallie : It is an obvious fact that leaders are not always good people. I highly doubt even you would dispute that as a fact. Therefore, _losing_ an election doesn't automatically make someone cry. I understand this will probably be difficult for you very soon, but you would be wise to remember that because even if your dreams of slavery come true next year, there will come a time when you are the one crying (I know this because that's how people react to things in *your* mind).
I don't think we are alone.
We are being left alone
What about using artificial wavelengths of light like a sonar? Send our light to nearby stars and blip planets like fish on a fish finder.
We are alone. Which means WE own the entire Universe. Ain't that some sh...
I think the answer is here on earth not in space, can substance or chemicals be brought together in such a maner as to creat life and what is the probibility if thas is proved.. else if if we find microbial life on othe planets we can start speculating the probibility...

Aaaaaand, your obvious racial bias (ie; racism) let you down at the end.

You might not find planets like ours anyway, as maybe life has already consumed the planet (or destroyed by natural disaster) or life has not developed yet. If there is life out there I guess it is going to be very hard to find it.
what if life on other planets already know we’re here, they just dont have the technology to reach us yet.
ProPain or are smart enough to not bother. With structures like the great pyramid and many others, and us still incapable of duplicating, leave alone figuring them out... i would not come say ‘hi’ either.
We rather destroy our planet by “playing” with nuclear material than we bother sustaining our Only home. Leave alone clean it up.
The technology to reach us has been around for millenia. So has their conciousness capacity to not come here. Sad truth.
Or we’re waiting for their transmissions or them to get to us. Or worse yet.... either/both of those things are already here!! Man I love conspiracy theories
@@19Armada84 we can actually duplicate pyramids with modern technogy and we have a fairly good idea about how they were built
Blue box mindset is very limiting. There must be conditions unlike the earth's that life can form.
AW Crowe You're right, but with limited time and resources we must at least start by looking for conditions that we know can support life.
That's already like looking for a needle in a cosmic haystack, which is obviously very challenging. But if we don't even know what we're searching for, then it becomes much more challenging.
There’s no one else. We are alone in the universe.
We are not alone. The Universe is so big and so vast that it is just impossible for there not to be intelligent life. We live on nothing but a pale blue dot. Our existence is the best proof that we have. If life in the Universe didn't exist, then we wouldn't.
You are
And just like that science is political.
Telescope would have to travel in the orbit of Pluto to catch images of life in exoplanets by 2090,Yes, there is other life in our galaxy.
Too bad TED title has no date, makes video inept.
It's not that easy. Do you think that you can have life in a galaxy that was not a spiral galaxy? only 6% of galaxies are spiral. Do you think that you can have life in a dwarf galaxy, or a giant galaxy? No, you will need a galaxy like the Milky Way, not too big, not too small with stable spiral arms and many other conditions. what about a star, a solar system a planet, can you have life on Earth without a moon? Water is not the only habitable zone, there are about 10 others that all have to overlap.

I don’t want to call up and say ‘Madam President I found a planet with life, unless I’m sure I did.’ That dated the video.
Can we get thru one TED talk without a “Hillary will be president” or “I’m going to cry because Trump won” joke???
“We need diversity,...as long as they think the way I do!”
Well I'm laughing because you had to choose between Hillary and Trump, and Americans still buy into that system.
Why not just take a statistical analysis of the number of people who say they've been abducted vs. the average number of people who suffer from delirium and or patho liars, at some point the realization will hit, that 1/5 ppl state they've had some encounter with UFO or alien life, vs. a very small percentage who meet either or a combination of those two criteria.

Spending billions on trying to find ET. Looks like we are desperate to prove it. Why? Can't we just wait until someone shows up? Then rather use all that money for cancer research?
Can you just put that on the front page of the news.
Because if they visit us first then we will probably be doomed.
Yes, let's wait for a more technological civilization to come to us and help us, like that has ever worked out. You're literally asking for genocide. Cancer will always be a thing life deals with, get over it.
