- How Many Alien Civilizations Exist in Our Galaxy?
Subscribe to Science Time: / sciencetime24
It’s the oldest and the greatest cosmic question of all: Are we alone in the Universe?
Given the fact that there are countless alien worlds with conditions similar to Earth, almost nobody believes life on our planet is unique.
More than 300 million worlds with similar conditions to Earth are scattered throughout the Milky Way. So perhaps a much better question is: Are we alone in the galaxy?
For more than 60 years all we had to answer this question was the drake equation. Which suggested there were probably between 1000 and one hundred million planets with civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Now scientists at the university of Nottingham think they’ve come up with a new “cosmic evolution”-based calculation that suggests that there are likely to be at least 36 ongoing intelligent civilizations in our Milky Way galaxy.
#aliens #science #fermiparadox
Somewhere far far away there is another civilization commenting on a video about other alien life out there 😂
They got us humans on their discovery channel
And if they did somehow know about us, They would have just said yep.... no intelligent life on that planet.
@@Redeyez2424 k
Farfar away
It’s crazy cause it’s so possible . We’re so far out internets won’t even meet each other
Facts lol
4:20 to 4:27 it’s absolutely true as how extremely big is the universe it still baffles me on how close minded people tend to think we are so special and are the only existence in the universe.
You right on that it's incredibly difficult to even explain the vastness of the universe to someone that's not aware that such scales even exist and even then they have a hard time understanding cause there mind isn't fully capable of such large measurements of space and time
I personally think there are other species out there based on the sheer numbers as you and Michio say, BUT we still have ZERO evidence, so the correct answer is we don't know.
@@seraeirian2 I would agree that we don't know if there are any who currently are in existence within our same timeline an we would definitely need some evidence to confirm that. It's literally statistically impossible to say there are not aliens and never were. The math is so mind boggling most ppl see unable to truly understand the scale of the universe but if you do understand it then it will be very easy to say yes aliens have existed in our universe without a doubt but now we need to get the evidence to show if they currently still are an it's extremely likely they do but universe is so big we may never be able to confirm it. 150 billion planets in the milky way alone (and we are a small galaxy) 2 trillion galaxies just in the observable universe... 150,000,000,000X2,000,000,000,000 🤯 an thos is only what we can see with our current technology.
👍🏽TRUE ❤❤❤💯💯💯
I think we are the last being left in our galaxy
Michio Kaku says there's 100 billion galaxies in the universe, but that's outdated information. More informed recent estimates state that there may be as many as 2 trillion galaxies in the universe. So I think that there are countless alien civilisations not just in the universe, but also in our galaxy.
Yep and 400 billion stars in the Milky Way 🌌
Then in a B years we merge with Andromeda. But we both have Half a dozen smaller satellite galaxies with us. So just our little whel house of 2 marbles n some sand grains there should be well over 100,000 active star fairing civilatztions not just talking, building, writing, math doing stuck on the same dirt civilatztions.
Only issue is distance is time. Distance means signal weakening too so we won't see aliens Maybe if no one comes to us I see it taking 700 ish years to find one's signals once we toss satellites towards other stars using lasers and relays then our little zippy craft will pick up some static coming from something they are going to pass on the way to its destination lol
he probably said that a long time ago that's why it's outdated
Im sure theres a trillion x billion galaxys. It never ends and we will never know. Then a quadrillion x quadrilion universes at the end of that
There TV..people.. are liars!!! ( earth is pear shaped ) 😆 😂
Imagine if they have 1billion years technology ahead of us. Their life span could be infinite. Their speed travel could exceed the speed of light. They would be literally Gods to us. Just one of those Aliens could have appeared to us for a brief second then come back in a thousand years for another brief second to check up on us.
You watch entirely way too many sci-fi movies, seek help
@@dadillonful
Funny you say that because i never watch sci-fi movies and ì couldn’t name one if my life depended on it.
But i smoked much weed and watch many documentaries on universe which i love btw. So i simply imagine.
I also believe that after we die our souls will be able to travel through the universe with or beyond the speed of light. Basically once we die we will be able to travel as far as our imagination has expanded while living on earth in flesh.
@@dadillonful Not really. Earth technology is about 100 years old.
A billion years old? Anything is possible.
@@niltomega2978 facts 120 years ago we had no technology… there is for sure a planet out there that’s got maybe 1000 years of technology on us.
@@howto-wiki8291
One would think...and yet...there IS the tiniest possibility that while unintelligent life abounds, intelligent life is rare, or we are the only ones. Out of millions of species on Earth, humans were the ONLY ones to evolve to contemplate it all.
There is a lot of space, we are not alone.
Define alone hahaha. No but seriously - if you mean by "alone" - some kind of life where we can communicate meaningfully with an alien counterpartner then sorry, we are very likely to be "alone" in the local group. We may at some point encounetr some sort of life that expand across the galaxy using some kind of mechanism (??) but this life would in first instance be something else than conscious or self aware or intelligent. So sorry, no bars where you joke and talk around with aliens. As in ever.
Unless we make those aliens.
@@Khannea Each star is an incubator harvesting life... But who's controlling the incubators? And who or what, lives outside this universe? To create something so massive, as the universe... Whoever did... I think lives outside of this universe!
Mind blowing amounts of space. But also between us. Seems everything was designed to have its own play ground. Plus there is the whole time thing. Closest star is 2 light years away. Most candidates are over 70 for earth planets with possible conditions like ours Toma degree. We aren't alone but we are grounded n there's no play ground or walkie-talkie.
Yes, we're alone and soon to have self extinguished.
No, but most of them won't bother because we are to primative and violent and the 13 that did decide to use Earth as a resources pit stop mostly stopped openly showing up since the purity wars
Sure, one of the conditions of such a federation is that every member will allocate room for a colony of every other member, so the survival of every member of the federation is ensured. This is a very strong incentive to join.
A billion year old civilization neither has nor needs a technology humans could even recognize much less understand LOL.
So they basically would be gods for humanity
But what about the Metaverse? Bet they haven’t got that. And if they do come looking for a fight, that’s where we can hide.
That's fundamentally not true, because that is impossible. All technology is in some way nothing more than an evolution of similar technologies. Some technology doesn't even change that much over time. For example, the wheel has lasted thousands of years with no real change. There isn't much change that can be done to begin with but that's my point. You can only advance specific technologies so far. We may not know where that limit is, but we do know that limit varies depending on the technology. Perhaps there is no limit, in that case some similarities will remain, and our capability to recognize technology will change as our knowledge grows. We can also recognize technology that is purely theoretical. In reality it will probably be obvious that it's some form of technology, even if the way it functions seems like magic, we can still comprehend its purpose.
Its alleged that due to the unfathomable size of the cosmos.
That somewhere out there, there will be someone living the same life as you.
Pretty sure Micio Kaku stated this
So that works for me

@@justsomeguy4260 or more like witches an wizards...... nothing or no one is even in comparison to God, at least not my GOD......
A thousand, a million, a billion years ahead of us, we can not begin to understand what they could be capable of.
No, not really. They could master their own biology to the point that they become essentially immortal. Time and distance would be irrelevant to them.
Its not a matter of being alone in the universe, its a matter of the fact that the universe is so enormous we might not ever cross paths with even a galactic scale race of aliens.
Decent chance we are the oldest at least in our galaxy
We cross paths with them every day, 50k of them reside on Earth.
@@Nope-ik8wv Not a chance. Our galaxy is over 13 billion years old, but our solar system is only about 4 billion years old. So there's solar systems that are 1-9 billion years older than ours, and you think that we're the oldest civilization? Lol, please.
And yet, some alien society dropped by earth and dropped humans off. "Our Father, who art in Heaven..." Seems someone found Earth and decided to colonize it.
Correct. It will take the development an understanding of space time travel wormholes an quantum mechanics/quantum entanglement before we will have much of a chance of truly exploring the continuously expanding universe.
Sensible ending: "They should be here already". Recently our scientists have found more proof that there are many more higher dimensions coexisting with ours. We are stuck in the 3rd/4th dimension. So maybe advanced civilizations move up to higher dimensions, that's why we can't see them.
Could there be a practical limit on the age of technological civilization that they would only last long enough to spread to a small area of a galaxy? maybe technological civilizations are only able to deal with technology to a certain level before destroyed, not expanding far enough to come into contact with other advanced technological civilizations?
Who put that limiters
@@heydaddy2471
Physics and math. We know a technological society uses a ton of energy. There is no getting around that. Unless we get access to fusion power soon, ours will stagnant and likely regress when our fuel resources run out.
Aside from. My other reply, the real test will be practical space travel. Without FTL, only one shot high risk colonization ships will be viable beyond a few light years.
And no trip will likely be able to take longer than a couple hundred years maximum.
Good point. Sufficient evolution to allow the building of basic tools may be all we need. Given a few tens of thousands of years early Flint knappers would probably develop space travel and not know how to deal with it.
Anything is possible. look at the last 3 years on our own planet with Covid…

The Fermi Paradox remains which brings up a concern. That advanced civilizations don’t last long enough to explore the entire galaxy. Something stops civilizations. It could be natural disasters like supernovas. But another scary possibility is that civilizations destroy themselves.
There has been higher organic life on earth for half a million years. Humanity came as a technological power around only a few thousand years ago. That's statistically a fraction. Conclusion is most world will not develop something such as higher neurology and not much life would 'do something equivalent to humanity' (which we might not recognize as "conscious" or "tool using" or "technological" or "self-awarene" or "sentient" or "sapient") and somehow makes the jump to interstellar expansion and "grabbiness".
The great filter
I have no doubt that there are numerous planets and moons in our galaxy that support unicellular and multicellular biology!!! There is a good chance that advanced interstellar civilizations are widly scattered across the galaxy also,but they are most likely quite rare!!!!
@@alotafhindi7485 ; agreed.
A definition of the Fermi Paradox.
“The Fermi Paradox is a problem that asks, where are all the aliens … in the universe? If life is so abundant, why haven't we been visited by, or heard from, anyone else?”
* The Fermi Paradox using this definition is that we have not seen any evidence for intelligent, advanced civilization, space alien life. That’s it.
* Some people have stated a version of the Fermi Paradox which concludes that there are no advanced space alien civilizations. That’s only one interpretation of the Fermi Paradox.
The Fermi Paradox by definition is much broader than that.
For instance; there is the Great Filter hypothesis which accepts that there are advanced space alien civilizations but we will never see them because something stops all of them from traveling throughout a galaxy and leaving behind evidence in multiple solar systems.
The Great Filter hypothesis is another interpretation of the Fermi Paradox.
Distance is a major problem.
Unless a more advanced race has discovered faster than the speed of light travel or another way of travelling between locations that are unfathomable distances apart

Aliens having mastered inter stellar or even intergalactic travel technology seems hard to conceive because their travel would nave been noticed . let us wait to see .
With up to a trillion other galaxies it's perfectly reasonable to assume there's other intelligent life out there right now. It's also reasonable to assume that our circumstances are quite rare so there may not be any life nearby in our galaxy but I'll keep on open mind.
True, much more likely intelligent life teems throughout the cosmos
There's also good arguments that we're alone in the galaxy, and perhaps more. Time is the enemy. It may be that countless empires have risen and fallen throughout the universe, long lost in time, forever unreachable and unknowable. As to what may exist locally, within any sort of reasonable time-frame in human terms, so far, nothing. The existence of extraterrestrial life remains as one of those thing we may believe, but cannot prove, at least for now.
Space is just so large that even many civilizations in same galaxy can be just to far from each other to ever meet or communicate or even to know that other guys exist.
Citing the size of the numbers regarding the universe and the galaxy are not sufficient enough to conclude anything.
It's also reasonable to assume life is very common. Everything else is common in the universe so life should be as well.
Lately i've been curious about life in other galaxies. I know, we haven't even found life outside of Earth in our own galaxy yet so why bother with even greater distances like that but it keeps me up at night.
There is thousands civilization in the universe, we are not alone.
✌👽
Time and planet evolution is the answer
The really big question is not whether other civilizations exist, but WHEN they existed. We tend to forget that Planet Earth has undergone several Mass Extinction events, without which civilization may very well have come into being here a hundred or two hundred million years ago and be long-gone by now. Planets which did NOT experience these mass extinctions, or a different number or severity of them, would have developed civilizations in entire different time frames. In addition to seeking live life, we should be looking for ancient ruins.
They’re already located on Mars from their past civilizations. Check it out. Ancient ruins on Mars.
@@gregthegroove this is not confirmed and only rumors and speculation.
As long as we have our towels we will be fine.
don't you mean toilet paper?
Remember they’re already here. Talk to Bob Lazar a physicist.
No we are not alone in the universe. We need to know the truth. It's time.
Yeah it’s definitely time…. That out of 8 billion smart phones and advanced camera technology… someone takes a proper picture or video… you instead of a blurry fuzzy hard to make out one… 🙄🙄🙄
@@Deetimes1the aliens use there tech to blur the pictures they even sometimes delete them off our phones remotely if we've taken to much. You have to remember the aliens we see are interstellar which means they have mastered FTL travel and have tech beyond our understanding.
So very very hard for a BASIC PERSON or an AVERAGE PERSON to wrap their heads around this..... Just keep your boots on ...your bags packed .... IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE !!
This is a trick question. Since we are the latest creation we currently exist in 3d. In 3d we are alone, no one here but us. In a 3d world with 3d equipment that can only detect 3d we can't detect the other civilizations that exist in dimensions higher than ours. There are millions of civilizations out there but they exist in the quantum part of the universe. Our planet is in quarantine. All other civilizations have to observe the Prime Directive and live us alone until we can figure out whether to go through armageddon or not. If we bypass armageddon we then get the oppertunity to move up into the quantum part of the universe where the rest of civilizations exist and we become part of the cosmic community. We have not been given the power of antigravity because the powers that be don't want us to take our bull shit of divide and conquer up into the cosmos since our mentallity has always been to divide and conquer.
Aliens could exist in another time dimension were our minds can see them yet our eyes can't.
There's plenty of evidence that they exist in our time and dimension, they just have far superior technology to us.
I was constantly abducted when i was younger and can count 5 different alien races, all with different agendas, only 5! To think how many actually exist is mind blowing.
First we need to breakthrough on fusion energy, synthesizing all foods, all chemicals, desalinating water, pollutant free transport, providing a decent, privation free living for all humanity, cure all genetic disease including mental health issues ... etc.
Then we will be ready to move out there.
While I concede carbon based life likely exists on planets similar to ours in the “Goldilocks” zone, two major issues come to mind: First, considering the age of the universe, the chances that an intelligent civilization would exist over a timespan to match up with our exceedingly brief period of modern development, adds another layer of uncertainty to the situation.I’m presuming most civilizations follow a pattern similar to ours and eventually self-destruct; Second, and perhaps more importantly, evolution on earth gave us the dinosaurs, who disappeared only due to an asteroid impact. Obviously dinosaurs, over their millions of years ruling the earth, never developed sapience (!).
First, we don't know whether dinosaurs developed sentience, we just don't have evidence that they did; a big rock can wipe out a lot of stuff. I don't (necessarily) agree with the self-destruction theory. I don't see any of the mass-extinction scenarios (except the really big rock) that wipes out man's technology. Definitely, many can and will wipe out society and set us back (ala' Mad Max) a few centuries in development, but innovation will survive and adapt. Our biggest weakness is our inability to imagine and understand the timeframes of the Universe. If a culture is just 10% more advanced than ours (in time of recorded history and development,) that is about 3,000 years. If we continue progressing for 3K years without interference, where will we be? It won't take a Billion year culture to look like magic, in a few thousand years, our own tech will look like magic to us--heck, a few hundred. (Was watching a DVD extra on Star Trek: Discovery, and the show runners were having problems with dumbing down the technology shown in the original '60s show--they had to keep the "flip phone" communicator, but make it look modern/advanced, without being too advanced. That's just sixty years.)
Well, first of all, we haven’t gone anywhere yet so you can’t say ‘a similar path to ours’ since ours isn’t known yet. Sure, there are predictions and such. But if we can even colonize the moon in the next 50-100 years, we can make major steps as a civilization.
Secondly, dinosaurs WERE sentient. You’re thinking of Sapience, which is wisdom and intelligence.
Finally, I think our judgement is desperately clouded by the parameters of our own existence. The galaxy is insanely massive. We’ve been able to detect radio signals for 100 years but the speed of light means that only radio signals within 100 light years have reached us. If you Google the diagram of how big that is, it’s similar to the ‘Pale Blue Dot’ picture where it’s such a small speck compared to the vastness of the galaxy.
Edit; oh, our galaxy is also located in a void, similar to the bootes void. Meaning there is less radiation in our vicinity of space. So that could play a factor in the rarity of life whether more radiation = more life or less life isn’t known. Obviously too much radiation can hurt us. But maybe that’s because it IS so rare. If it were more abundant, maybe life could thrive in it? Who knows.
Even if a civilisation ceased to exist a million years ago, their signals wouldn't have reached us unless we are in the same galaxy. We don't have to exist at the exact same time
There would be billions of civilizations to ours across the Universe an billions much more primitive than we,
Then you have billions of super advanced Earth creatures, who exited Earth millions of yrs ago,
An are now the Majority Civilizations,
Across the Universe.
Humanitys Ancestors were Earthly creatures.
Or did some DINOSAURS develop Technology and moved out to other planets ! Perhaps ,the possibilities are far greater then we know ! Mother NATURE wastes nothing
Approximately 400 billion stars In our galaxy alone amongst 2 trillion+ galaxies out there. If there was just 10% of stars in our galaxy that had planets with animal life to T5 civilisations,that's still a huge amount of life bearing planets in the Milky Way. Can't even begin to imagine what's out there in the entire universe...
i believe there is probably life all over the place..but 99 percent could never come close to reaching us.
This is why I believe alien sightings. There speed of travel would be 10000x ours. Meaning that thing you saw in the sky that disappeared after you saw it, yeah that was not normal or human
I grew up during the space race, a child of Apollo if you will. I've been waiting for ET to phone for decades. But the older I get, the more I learn, the more I have come to realize that the conditions necessary for life, let alone intelligent life, have to be so precise that it blows the mind. Then there are the limitations put on any space traveler by physics. We either have it all wrong or some group has figured out how to manipulate not only gravity, but matter and time itself. That is a pretty tall order.
Are there other civilizations out there? I dunno. And neither does anyone else. No calculation or computer model will ever change that. I think if they are out there, we'll never hear from them and vice-versa because that's the way it is set up. Who knows, maybe when we pass beyond this life we'll get to meet our extraterrestrial cousins. Until that time, live long and prosper. 🖖
At last, an intelligent comment. There is, apparently, some limitation on interstellar travel. Travel within your own star system may indeed be possible. Otherwise, not. The problem with that argument is that, even travelling at 10% light speed, it should still be possible for aliens to colonize the entire galaxy. Why haven't they? We don't know. We may never know.
The jump from single celled organisms to multicellular organisms alone is an incredibly unlikely thing to happen. It took a very long time for life on earth to make that leap.
I've believed in reincarnation all my life ... with clear memories of drowning in a previous life and as a child, abilities which were difficult to explain. Now as I look up into the night sky, I dream of my next incarnation in another world. One where beings communicate telepathically, disease has been vanquished and empathy connects all life on that "ideal" planet. I'm trying to learn enough now to qualify for another planet. I have a way to go ... sigh ...
For those that think we are alone, they cannot grasp the size of the universe itself. Hence why they probably think we are alone. But I say its impossible that we are alone. There are more stars in the universe, than grains of sand on earth. So how can it just be us.
Who knows ? May be there are more number of stars out there than the total number of atoms in earth.
Agreed. We are not alone at all.
I think life is common in the universe. I think intelligent/technologically inclined life is likely extremely rare. It didn't exist on Earth for the vast majority of the planet's history, and a lot of factors were at play, like the several mass extinctions there have been, that led to our evolution by complete chance. If the dinosaurs hadn't gone extinct, it's unlikely mammals would have evolved as they did, meaning we likely wouldn't exist. I think it's unlikely we will ever be contacted by another species like us or more advanced than us.
So many unlikely events is not a coincidence. I am sure there is someone behind the creation of us. If we never come in contact with a superior specie like us then I will be sticking to believing in God.
True but we ramped up quick. 200,000 years until now to be more precise. I’m holding a tiny but powerful self contained computer in my hand with a rechargeable power source, that I can type messages and send out onto a cyberspace network. 200,000 years later.
But how do you define rare in contect of the entire universe? What does rare mean? Like only a few intelligent planets that you can count on your fingers? Or hundreds? Thousands? out of the infinite number of planets in the universe
"The attenuation of many light years of space (Interstellar dust, the slight warping of electromagnetic waves by strong gravity sources, and stuff we just don't know about.) will kill any signal from another space civilization." - from the "Musings of Zorgog" 3rd Galactic Emperor. A common saying on Zorgog's home world is: "One Zorgog can't be wrong!"
Extraterrestrial aliens are here now. Apparently we don't have the ability to detect their ships with our conventional radar systems. I won't go into details but a ship appeared over a small pond, I watched three different aliens looking back at me from the ship. There were three of us there my brother a friend and myself, it literally scared the hell out of all of us. We watched it for slightly over a minute as they were watching us then without a sound it was gone. I end up buying the land and built a house with that pond directly behind my house hoping that one day I would see them again..
Its a bit more complicated than that. Why are no aliens in galaxy? Because we killed them all and conquer the galaxy. A long long time ago in a galaxy far far away... there was star wars
We do have ability to detect grays flying disks. No big deal. They crash often. They are dying lying desperate race. They want to make hybrid race for wars. But they failed. And dying and degrade. We have aircrafts at supesonic speeds. That doesnt produce much of a sound.
So what exactly you see? From how far away? How you know that aliens piloted the aircraft/spaceship? And not black project humans? How you look them? Did the ship was transperrent? Weird shape flying objects has been tested and operational by the dark government since forever. For one minute observation you decide they are aliens? Shape and size of the ship? Distance? Hover time? Vertical,horizontal speed. Color of the aircraft? Day,night? Ambient light? Did they wave at you? There are also lots and lots of parameters to be considered. Thats a lot for 1 minute observation. You not go into details because you made up the story desperate for glory.
Thats some great work from the real estate agents.
The Urantia Book stated this unequivocally in the 1930's, saying there are not just billions of inhabited worlds in space, there are actually trillions of inhabited worlds. It further states that there are some in close proximity to our precious blue marble of a planet. The Urantia Book reveals so much about life on other worlds and it's teachings are intriguing and inspiring.
It has been reasoned that due to the
Unfathomable size of the cosmos.
That somewhere out there, there will be someone living the same life as you.
Pretty sure Micio Kaku stated this
So that works for me

This is so hard to watch knowing that we have had UAP crafts around us for 80+ years and it's like they dance around that topic, which is also their main topic. Just, hard to watch.
I have concluded that my obsession with aliens is the greatest waste of time that I have ever engaged. It's simply escapism.
I firmly disagree with you , it has been confirmed that we have had visitors by our own military and throughout earths history , as to what more the military knows and private corporations is up for debate but they’ve visited us and possibly are even connected to us .Too many sources from too many people across the entirety of The earth throughout history and even now , I encourage you to keep that obsession as that same escapism could be our reality and universe 🤟🏻
Life is throughout the universe. Sentient races would be rare just because of the amount of energy it requires to develop the biological requirements to become sentient. Then you have geological disasters, asteroid impacts, stellar disturbances, disease, and of course: self-extinction. A technological race on a water world, a world with 50% or more greater gravity then ours, or 150% or more denser atmosphere would have a very difficult time getting anything into orbit. They might be more susceptible to radiation, have lower tolerance for zero gravity, or developed on a low gravity world and can't handle the g-forces required to get into orbit or outside their home system. Maybe they have no interest in leaving their home world or system. Could have possibly already visited another world in their system and brought back some parasite or other pathogen that wiped out their race. Just being able to develop technology is mind-blowing, able to venture beyond the boundaries of ones' home system is a miracle by itself. With each step the chances for extinction increase until you finally achieve that 1,000-world colonization thresh hold. And even then, there could be someone else out there who wants what you have or just might find your people tasty. It would take a very special civilization to survive expansion through their system, even more special to go beyond.
The distances are so vast we will never find anyone.
It's no doubt in my mind that intelligent life exists elsewhere, but given the destructive nature of intelligent life on resources, it's likely they may have destroyed themselves as we have been doing to our planet slowly, unless the found a way to colonize another place..
Hmm… it depends. Advancement to a certain technological level and you could theoretically solve every problem a living species could face, the nullification of the need to grow food, no need for finances and unlimited resources, the ability to create anything you need through fabrication.
Technology could eliminate many things that hold a civilization back.
There are 1.600.000 Societies in this Galaxy but only 1% are space-travelers.
The interesting thing is that we may have already had contact with non human intelligence, home grown or extraterrestial. May be our governments can answer the Fermi paradox but are choosing not to.
1000 years ago mankind held the belief that the Earth was flat and the center of the universe. All other reasoning branched out from there. If we were to find plant life on another planet, we would limit our speculations accordingly. Animal life, etc. Etc. There have been and always will be those who accept limits and those who set out to break those limits. We owe our evolution to both.
My theory is in regards to observing our own history in regards to civilizational development. We have a huge issue in maintaining a civilization and have even shown patterns suggesting civilization has a life cycle. Previous to our current civilization, no other civilization has survived intact. The only three that have been moderately successful was Egypt, the Roman Empire and the Chinese dynasties. Both Egypt and Rome fell and China is essentially a completely different entity at this point And looks to be on a trajectory of self-destruction long-term.
So more than likely what I think is actually happening is that while there may be a common number of intelligent life, the struggle to maintain a civilization is predominantly hindered by our rejection to our natural impulses and adhering more towards our consciousness. If we cannot maintain conscious discipline over our instincts, we inevitably become parasites to our own civilization. And this seems to be so common that more than likely if we ever manage to reach the Summers, we may find a number of earth-like, planets with fallen civilizations and even extinct species who were once conscious and intelligent.
Consciousness is in constant conflict with the Natural instincts of our more animalistic side. When we are in times of great poverty or struggle, our consciousness thrives. When we are in a moment of great abundance, our instincts take over and we become addicted to our abundant resources. Until we solve this issue, we may never reach space to find out what's out there.
Given our history, Its probably best for any other civilizations out there, that we remain prisoner's on this rock.
100 billion galaxies? Where did you get that ? Try 20 trillion
Indeed, I suspect there are a lot of dinosaurs, out there.
They wouldn’t be called “Dinosaurs” that’s a name for them on our planet.
Just like there is no other humans out there.
@@AdriansCreatures humanoid. Dinoid.
NOT TOO SURE ABOUT HOW MANY BUT ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT THERE ARE TWO KINDS - BOTH GOOD AND BAD...
There are so many galaxies, with so many planets, and if you had a spaceship and travel from planet to planet searching for life, you would never find any... You would die thinking we are alone in space...
Your's interesting matter
We are not alone in the universe , we are not yet ready to meet our neighbors from outer space . We are still behind the eight ball .
👌👽
We are limited in our understanding. We think that we've sussed physics . Its akin to we knew the earth was flat 600 years ago and that everything revolved around us. The universe is massive, anything is possible.
How can a claim be made that "there are more than 300 million worlds in our galaxy with conditions similar to earth" and we have yet to find 1????
We havent found a single, real, Earth like planet in the habitable zone of a yellow dwarf star, with an oxygen atmosphere, land mases and oceans. All we've done is extrapolate a figure of thousands of 'Earth like' planets based on very limited dataset.
I always thought that the idea of other alien lifeforms requiring the same atmosphere for survival as humans do is a very close minded one. How do we know that other lifeforms don't exist who can thrive in other atmospheres?
@@michaelm4464 look on Venus and Jupiter, do you see lots of life there?
@@vladislavgorshkov737 I see lots of life on Uranus

No
There are more than what we know
According to the Taygetans, there are 110,000 civilizations in our quadrant of the Milky Way.
36 civilizations? Are they sure it isn't 42?
42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything
In the big picture, I’m not convinced that Technology is progresses exponentially, unless that exponent is an imaginary number! We’ve already seen ourselves go from pretty-high technology into The Dark Ages, where people simply lost interest in technology. I think it’s more likely that technological advancement tends to be cyclical.
Gary Morrison: That's true, given our recorded history. However, the cyclical element could be as basic as disease. When a primitive (or a sophisticated) society is nearly wiped out by an infection it can't control, that society is doomed, potential technology and all.
I used to think that intelligent life must be commonplace considering all the numbers. I now think simplistic life forms may exist in the Milky Way, possibly in the solar system eg extremophiles, but intelligent life capable of space travel is extremely rare - we may be the only ones capable. There may be a few more in the Universe but so far away we'll never know.
Exactly. There's so many things that have to be in place, and without a single one of them, whatever that may be, the process halts. Everything was in place here on Earth, but without an asteroid impact 65 millions years ago, we wouldn't be here.
@@GreenDistantStar We are a created beings,God created us and he created this beatiful planet earth for humanity.
@@stefanrafa1348 I don't think so. For 99.99% of the lifetime of the Earth, humans didn't exist. The universe isn't friendly towards life like ours. The idea the Earth was created for us is absurd and without foundation, except in ancient texts created by unscientific Middle Eastern shepherds.
@@GreenDistantStarmaybe yes, maybe no Peter
@@stefanrafa1348 and our planet is ultimately doomed. Nice plan.
Do the aliens think we're too primitive for them to waste their time exploiting us? It would be terrifying if they decided to do that as an element of surprise.
I just don’t think we are anywhere close to another civilization. A scientist said that 4 billion years ago would have been the golden age of life in the universe .
@@Allyourbase1990 lol, we can't even come up with solutions to tangible problems we have faced for ions, yet we are going to believe a statement about something we have no experience with, nor have actually examined.

You watch entirely way too many sci-fi, seek immediate help
@@dadillonful Speak for yourself because you don't know me. Did you observe the aliens' actions? If so, you need a drink, but there's no guarantee it'll help.
Millions of civilizations have already come and gone and a million more are evolving as you read this. Earth is not alone, never has been.
If there are alien civilisations out there, they must be at most as advanced as us or slightly more.
Because if they are highly more advanced than us, they would have detected us and tried to contact us by sending us signals.
Why would they do that? Earth is the interstellar version of a crackhouse. We don’t even get along with each other; humans murder everything on this planet, including other humans. A truly advanced civilization has no interest in Earth
We don’t know that for sure. They could be so advanced that we are like insects to them. You wouldn’t attempt to communicate with an insect would you?
You really think they would do that
I don't think if aliens have already detected us and watching these videos
Of course they will be hiding
Why would they necessarily do so? They could be isolationists and if they're smart they probably are.
@@maxalberts2003yes contact could be a very bad thing better to leave everyone alone
There is growing knowledge there is infinity after our galaxy. Never ending universes. Our bubble of our existence is the limit to our knowledge and we could learn more, forever until our time to end. Although it never ends!
Professor Cox makes a very succinct point against the proliferation of the cosmos. How long does it take before stars can create rocky planets? Plus, using humans, it takes approx. 4-5 billion years to develop intelligent life. That's ⅔ the age of the universe. Are we special? In this slice of galaxy... yes.
Maybe you should come up with a new scale because the Kardashev scale tells us nothing. Type I II III IV V
Maybe that scale should start at 5 & go to 10 so we can add in 1 to 4 now.
The government literally said they exist. A whistleblower came forward. So I think the question has been answered.
To quote Carl Sagan:
Billions and Billions.
An astronomy professor once told us that there was a theory among some astronomers that shortly after intelligent life develops in the universe it destroys itself with nuclear weapons.
All we have to go on is one absolute truth that we know: Life in the universe is possible. We don't know how likely it is, but we know it's possible. We also don't know if the universe is finite or infinite, and that is really the key. If the universe is finite and life is extremely, extremely unlikely, then there is a chance we are alone. Even if it is finite and life is likely, we could still be alone. If however the universe is infinite, due to us knowing life is possible, there therefore must be infinitely many civilizations. It may be however that they are infinitely far apart from each other and will never meet
There is the hard step theory... that says intelligent life has a progression of "hard" steps. Soup to single cell, Single cell to multi cell ect. Based on this theory and the age of the universe (and the number of actual hard steps on most life baring planets)it is actually very possible that humans are fairly early. Perhaps not the first but perhaps in the top 1% of first civilizations, with a lot more to come later. (as in a billion or two years off yet) I believe the truth may be a mix of the hard step and dark forest theories. Where we are at a point where intelligent civs are not as abundant as we may think... but also the few that have sprung up may well be super predators/colonizers that stifle new civ by colonizing planets that may have evolved intelligent competitors, and perhaps even as predators tend to do remove competition when they run into it.
On the hard step theory it is also possible that earlier less dense stars pushed life that evolved under very different circumstances. I mean would an intelligent species that evolved on a gas giant really care about us a bunch of ants on a rock ? If we go out one day and find life floating around on a gas giant or under miles of ice as may be on Titan... it will be interesting but also not something we will likely have much in common with, and their planets won't be prime human living space.
It could go either way, either we are the first or we are the last or we are somewhere in the middle and we are all at the same level technologically restricted to our own Solar Systems.
I'm sick and tired of that question, of course there's life our there. Think of all the different species that was here. Before oxygen killed them off, I strongly believe that life started well before our solar system was even formed.
So think about it, from our planet formed. To the first lifeforms, all the way to us humans.
Even from the very first stars, could have had life from them.
Anyone else agree with me?
I totally agree with you. The majority of people posting here are very clueless and arrogant and have no idea just how big our own back yard is let alone the Milky Way and the size of the universe is way, way beyond their comprehension. Kepler studied about 530,000 stars and found more planets than stars, and it was a very primitive scan, but it's the best we could do and the data still needs to be studied but even as limited as the scan was and realizing that it could only detect transits that were facing it, it still found a few possible candidates. But lets say that if even 1 earth were found per 500,000 stars, that would mean about 200,000 earths in the Milky Way alone at 100 billion stars and 800,000 earths if 400 billion stars. Even if only 1 earth were found in every 100,000,000 stars, that would be 100 to 400 earths in the Milky Way alone.
Agree for sure , if i disagreed i would be mind numbingly stubborn person to say the least
Ofc there is life but i think that unfortunately advanced civilizations are very rare and there may be maximum 12 civs in milky way studies have shown life was not possible until 8 billion years ago when the second generation stars appeared
Interesting video! Thank you for sharing I liked it. ❤
*What makes you think, that others experiencing this little Universe, would behave like the human species, and require a home planet, when "LIFE The Real Self", resides in "The Place of LIFE", outside the experience, and NOT in what you interpret as your Universe...*
This video is making me want to buy and watch all the star wars movies. Funny :)
Beautiful not just Humans in the Galaxies
There have been studies on dolphins showing they can think in the abstract, elephants as well.
Dolphins are highly intelligent.
Hello.
Two
Only two within our galaxy.
Good luck.
To contemplate other life in the universe is pointless. If it's outside the Milky Way it's beyond any contact we could ever have.
Well sending signals out in space is a horrible idea. Might as well ring the dinner bell.
Surest sign there is intelligent life out there, is they aren’t contacting us.😢
A species intelligence doesn’t dictate the experience of interaction. We go to the zoo and the monkey throws his poop at you. Oh wait…
Are there any other civilization other than our own present civilization?
This is a question, any one can ask if he has a thinking capabilities.
. Now who has to answer to this question?
If aliens from other planets or universe or civilizations else where attack us then who will protect us. Who is responsible for our well-being?
Are we safe from the attacks of aliens in particular and from anyone in general?
When we find answer to these questions, I am sure we are safe. If we have no answer to this question then we are not safe.
Thanks for the video, raising the question of our safety and security and wellbeing of all.
I do believe it is possible for life to exist on other planets. Since if life can exist on earth,
then why not on other planets as well?
Imagine how technology advanced we be,if we had this technology during the caveman days.we be type 2 civilization by now
We’re here , they’re there . One endless continuum .
How many aliens in the universe more than you can count,just look at the stars answers right there.
Yes YOU TUBE HAD DOCUMENTED THESE EVENTS IN YR 1961-62
You know how Earth has isolated civilizations not connected to modern society, on certain islands or in Jungles? I feel like Earth is the isolated world with life separated from the rest of the other Space civilizations, while all the other civilizations in space is trading, fighting, and conquering each others planet.. Who would come to our tiny Solar System with our baby Sun? Some Civilizations probably studied Jupiter or Saturn and felt like our Solar System is dead and moved on. Or maybe our Solar System used to thrive and was destroyed like Mars and people didn’t expect life forms to continue to in our dark young smaller system.
I'm a firm believer that most planet's in our own solar system are inhabited. Including our own moon.
This is all 3 Dimensional thinking. We are Light Beings. Earth is where we come to be physical; experience emotions, free will, being Human. Everything starts with 'thought', as of now Humans are not ready. Too much Fear.
If we get rid of the military, around the world, earth will grow.
Metaphysics is the best study ive found. Sacred Geometry, meditation are great.
Answer is 9 different species yaksha,kinnera,gandharva, manava,dhanava,etc
Sometimes people do not believe that there are other forms of life besides Earth is because they never come in contact wirh the other beings. Sun Set Ranches located in Hudspeth, Texas has a lot of extraterestial activity. So do New Mexico and Arizona just to name a few.
I am aware of 7 , there may be more . What I know you would not believe and the US gov. kinow's as well .
We are the descendants of extra terrestrial beings. There are many civilizations across multiple galaxies. We have also interbred with other beings within this galaxy. constellations like Orion where Sirius, also known as the Dog Star is located, are other beings we are familiar with. they are within our history. This even dates way back tens of thousands of years ago
There is no proof of that. That is a theory.
We - are - most - likely - alone.
Anyone saying we are not have no evidence and are just playing a number game.
Humans still asking the questions are we alone . While aliens traveling to different worlds and they been doing it before the earth was made.
Proxima Centauri B is 4.2 light years from our Sun. They had visit Earth way back 1961-1962. That aliens of 4-7 visited and met Sps. Barney and Betty Hills from New Hampshire.
Not to the entire galaxy, just within a radius of about 100 hundred light years.
