How amusing would it be if it turns out whoever was doing all the surveys asking governments if they had a plan to fight alien invasions, turned out to be aliens.
how amusing would it be that now, Russia would get attacked by aliens and then asked for support from the US, as agreed before. Elon musk about how he would tweet about if they found an alien. me: Yeah, that's what a hidden alien would say, lol.
The US government has plans for an invasion by Canada, something to do with rattling nickels in a tin can. We do have several plans depending on their level of technology and willingness to fight. Just because a civilization developed weapons much if any better than our own. We have much better weapons than we deploy, we are usually three generations ahead of what we show the world. Or the aliens might not be very good at war. Bloody their noses a couple times and hope they go looking for easier pickings. The main plan is to stall for time, give ground as we have to and counterattack when ever there is even the hope of a hope. To capture specimens and their weapons. What chemicals or pathogens might kill them, like War of the Worlds. We will also make every effort to reverse engineer any captured tech.
The fact we are sending invitations out into space and not expecting anyone to come to our party is gonna make us look like terrible welcoming hosts when they do decide to show up.
@@mynamea.n.s.s5472 Africa is civilized. While there people still practicing ways life of that have lasted thousands of years, even they are touched by technology. They Have all the 1st world amenities. You should visit the continent where humankind was born.
@@mynamea.n.s.s5472 so for the Aliens we are just another nature show. LOL (I would not be surprised if this were the case, and we just were not able to tell, as they would surely have advanced deconstruction tech and replicator level 3D printers for manufacturing, since their version of a walmart or citgo refueling station is not going to be just on the side of the way half way between here and alpha centauri LOL
I wonder how Simon and his team would feel if they knew that many years from now this humble video would form the foundational strategy to defend the earth from a threat he could scarcely imagine. The future says thank you…
How we advanced the last 100, they have millions. How is it that we can only guess what their world is like yet they're going back in time for themselves to mess with us
I agree with the ego situation, it’s scary. Especially if they’re approach is just to get they’re tech. Not cool, this should be a peaceful approach above all.
Just have our new alien overlords watch all of Simon's content from the very beginning. That'll keep them busy long enough for us humans to figure out a battle or escape plan. It may take a few centuries, but, right now there is enough Whistleverse content to keep us convered.
It is heavier. But not that much. If you do the math, the mass at a speed of 0.9999999c increases by a factor of just 2236. (2236*mass(electron)= 2.04*10^-27 kg)
Earth is the Australia of the outer rim of this galaxy. I'm convinced of that. And Humans are the real space orcs. We are the creatures most other spacefaring species would be terrified of... We are chaotic and self-destructive on GOOD days.
Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy had a hilarious take on an alien invasion. The entire alien battle fleet entered earths atmosphere but due to a horrible misunderstanding of scale the entire fleet was swallowed by a dog.
@@alwenke212 really? That's weird! In Australia, it's the Americans, not the Europeans that think they can see Sydney, Melbourne, the Great Barrier Reef, "Australia zoo" & Uluru all in a weekend & then catch a ferry over to NZ for dinner & a flight home. Europeans who come here are much better educated on geography & fully understand the distance issues we find. They know if they want to travel to Perth, they need to book onto the 3 day train to take them there & know they need at least a year to travel around the country & see at least the basics (although most come already planning on doing farmwork, so as to be eligible for a 2-3 year visa extension, cause they understand a year is really not enough time to see the whole country). All that said though, I am thinking, depending on what they want to see, they probably could fit everything they consider worth seeing in those places into a weekend, especially when you consider that public holidays are much more common outside the US, so by "weekend", they likely mean 3 days, so quite doable really to do a city a day, isn't it. You have ample flights there, including overnight ones, so I guess they just expect to use those. They probably don't understand the difference in flight quality between the 2 countries though lol probably anticipate getting a LOT more sleep on the plane than they actually will The more I think about it, the more I'm actually trying to figure out what a European would go to those cities for, that they don't already have in Europe. I would have thought they'd be more likely to want to to see Yellowstone & the Grand Canyon & maybe somewhere like Florida. Why would a European want to go to Chicago?
The best part of this video is watching Simon, in his typical manner and tone of voice, casually describing so many methods for ending other living beings.
Honestly, our “best” hope (from what you’ve outlined here) would be to act as if there are aliens heading towards us and work on (a) a unified global understanding and (b) putting as much of our resources as possible into STEM fields. Basically, Star Trek had it right all along and that’s what we should be aiming for 😂
well, that would require some international cooperation. I posit that because we cannot achieve that cooperation to combat obvious climate crisis across the planet, the idea that we could do it for an imaginary threat is laughable.
If Aliens have been visiting as long as some believe it's amazingly sporting of them to wait till our weapons, science and technology is so advanced before attacking.thanks Simon love all your hard work lots of love from us in Australia who follows your shows.
@@BLAZENYCBLACKOPSI mean, we do have knowledge of how to utilize three of the most destructive forces in the observable universe. And decided to weaponize two of them.
If your homeless get a fucking job or work 5 jobs if you need to like my mom did who now owns 2 houses and 3 properties. Most people don’t want to put in that much effort to get paid. Instead they want a job meant for high schoolers to make a little bit of money but not live off of such as McDonald’s to accommodate them with more pay. McDonald’s and other basic jobs where didn’t have a livable income when my mom graduated high school in the early 1970s so she had to work multiple like everyone else who’s poor and needs money should. I agree with the mental illness part though as those people wouldn’t be able to work 5 jobs as it is if they are mentally I’ll. Once you have a comfortable income then feel free not to work as much that’s how it used to be and how it need to go back to being.
@@thehalfricanguy I might disagree... A sci-fi novel mentioned how surprising it was that an aquatic species managed space flight because of the extra mass of water in their vessels and the inertia that water would cause compared to air. Smaller organisms require less mass to leave a planet, so it's technically easier when you think about it. 🤔
@@TragoudistrosMPH Cool, sci-fi novels are fictional stories that take numerous liberties with scientific hypotheses for their plot. I'll agree they could be smaller than the average human. They wouldn't be insect sized or smaller, maybe the size of a dwarf at the smallest.
@@thehalfricanguy what's the science behind your size hypothesis? There's nothing sci-fi about mass. Water weighs more than air, so a hull filled with water requires more fuel for escape velocity, acceleration, and deceleration. Physics.
@@TragoudistrosMPH Cool, I never said that Mass was sci-fi. I'm clearly stating sci-fi novels shouldn't be taken as science fact. As for alien size. Alien life could be of many sizes. Interstellar travelers would likely be larger than an insect just logically. They need to be large enough to build the ship and it's required support structures for launch. While probably an alien the size of a nat could do that, it's extremely improbable.
I can tell you what the world's governments response to alien invasion is: "How much of our population do we need to feed to you to get on your good side?"
lol plot from "torchwood", then additionally "how do we choose which children to give the aliens? Easy, why did we even bother doing nationwide educational assessments if we weren't going to use it to pick out the dumbest, most disposable kids to sacrifice?" Only thing that series did wrong was to chase after the kids the parents pulled out of school on the alien invasion day, so as to protect them, in real life, those kids would be left & any of welfare's books would fill their places. Gotta have parents who's kids are being taken & are upset about it & trying to stop it to fuel the drama though
Human hubris, especially human military hubris, is beyond delusional at times. Any civilization whose technology was sufficiently advanced to be able to travel between stars isn’t going to be overly challenged by the present or foreseeable state of our military technology. At best we’d accomplish nothing more than to kick a hornet nest. As Sagan put it, if an intergalactic armada were to suddenly appear in our skies, we would be very accommodating...
The one video that made the aliens think, give up, turn around and .. leave. Kinda soothing though to actually know: "We are just a Non-factor." - Thanks for sharing, was hilarious!
I've felt for a very long time that the two most realistic depictions of aliens arriving on earth are the Denis Villeneuve film 'Arrival' and (shockingly) Stephanie Meyer's novel 'The Host'. In 'Arrival', the extra terrestrials are visiting us for a very specific reason, giving them a clear motivation for coming to earth in person, for acknowledging our intelligence, and for not retaliating when we instigate violence. It depicts a really effective hypothetical for what aliens would look like and what communicating with them would involve (they're not bipedal, they're not humanoid, and they don't speak English, or really speak at all). Stephanie Meyer's novel (though incredibly problematic in many ways) is an excellent example of what Simon was saying about us not noticing an invasion until it was already too late. The beings are also non-humanoid and have a very complex, unique biology, only being able to communicate with humans or communicate at all via parasitism. They are a hive species that only desires to expand, like Simon's example of the space ants. Before beginning their invasion they take samples (i.e. they abduct people and do tests on them) and most importantly, the only reason they don't completely wipe us out is because, like Simon said, they have a very strict moral code and the idea of doing harm of any sort to a living being (likely the result of the evolution as a hive and as parasites). There as of yet has never been a great example (that I'm aware of) of the 'extra terrestrial anthropologists/biologists' theory, which is the one I find most interesting, and is probably the most likely. That aliens are really only interested in studying us, similarly to how we study gorillas or lions or something. They observe us from afar for the most part, like a nature documentary. They occasionally take samples, maybe kidnap some of us for zoos or something. If they're able to, a few might anthropomorphize themselves or pretend to be dogs or something and attempt to live among us for research, Jane Goodall style. The best example of this in pop culture would probably be Dr. Who. In this scenario our weapons would probably be pretty pointless. In all likelihood to these scientists, our nuclear weapons would be akin to, at best, an alligator snapping its jaws. Dangerous-ish, but not a real threat to many people. But that's okay because they wouldn't want to hurt us if they didn't have to. We don't attack the gorillas that we study after all. In a weird way, it would be sort of sweet. And hell, maybe one day we'll have a Coco that they will teach to speak to them and we can exchange information. Like alien big brothers or something 🖤
Zombie outbreak is a strictly defined phenomenon, where it can also be applied elsewhere. There’s heaps to learn from playing out the hypothetical that are applicable to real world counter terrorism, disease control etc.
@@luck3yp0rk93 a zombie outbreak could happen. Not literal undead but some virus or fungus that changes behavior. Especially since those exist and have maybe been developed by major powers. To incapacitate large areas. Dang, chilling to think about.
The 'zombie outbreak' scenarios aren't literal. They're generic war gaming things tot rain personnel for the same principles occuring in biological warfare/plague pandemics.
Pretty sure the Varinha, Brazil; Rendlesham, UK & Westall - Melbourne Australia cases had nothing to do with “… a gremlin in our radar system”. remember the “2nd rule of debunkers” … what the public doesn’t know I’m not going to tell them …
The United Nations has concluded that "The Aliens" are protecting the Earth from the "Other Aliens." That's about as much as I can conclude for now. Thank you.
objection generation ships must not mean they are more technology advanced than we are. we have to technology to build generation ships, but we have not the power, the money, and the worldwide interest to do so District 9 can be a real possibility
How far out can we see with the new telescope? Ans they just blast in?! Ya thats probably we cant even comprehend. Surrender or bust, and hope its not a independence day.
In the *1960s Twilight Zone* episode, when the people figured out how to translate the rest of the book titled *"To Serve Man"* they discovered it was a *cook book.* 😳🥺😧😨
Their motivations can be dumbed down to three things. I think there could be a fourth one, that is culling of competition or in other words, similar to invasion but done out of spite or fear; a pre-emptive attack on any sentient species that an alien race think will be a threat to them in the future.
It would pretty much about resources. Either biomass, labor, or living space. Those are the things that Earth has that no other body in the solar system offers at this point. If they want biomass, that means we are either food or fuel. If they want labor, they come to enslave us. If they want living space, they would strike with something that gets rid of humans, but keeps the infrastructure and biosphere intact. We've already built houses and power/water grids and transportation networks that they would keep. Unless they are the benevolent kind that see how bad we are and try to help us. A civilization that flies around the galaxy looking for habitable worlds would've run out on their own planet. They are most likely united, either through cooporation, or because one faction conquered everyone else.
The only real threat I could see we could offer would be out of control AI, in which case they can just hit us with an EMP type weapon that just knocks out all our tech & return again every 100 years or so to repeat - or even leave a device here programmed to repeat it every 100 years. Problem solved, with far less drama than wiping us all out - and if we somehow manage to develop tech not vulnerable to everything the aliens have programmed in that tech destroying burst, then that's a bonus, it's something they've not figured out that we somehow did, so they can come & harvest that tech for their own use
Who's to say it would even be that serious? It could be the equivalent of some illegal logging operation in the amazon rainforest, or some space biker gang that just shows up drunk and uses earth for target practice. We assume that it would be some entire unified species attacking us for some grand reason when it could just be some interstellar degenerates living it up.
Aliens " we're here to annihilate your Governments and take over your planet " Me " Cool. Nice to meet you. Allow me to show you where the Governments can be located " Aliens " WTF?"
Love you and your writers for that Pakled joke, Simon! 36:56 (ST:TNG in "Samaritan Snare") Caught me absolutely off-guard and I just about fell the F out! 🤣
I look forward to Supreme Overseer Simon bringing us daily Today I Found Out segments about our alien overlords as we toil in the sugar caves or whatever.
If they didn't have FTL, if it takes them centuries to get here, it's worse for us, because they're committed. If it took them six months to get here from their nearest base, or even a couple of years, then this could essentially be a raid. This could be a little adventure a few of them were on, where if it fails, they might just retreat. Heck, they might come back a few years later with more firepower, or they could come back with an offer for a treaty, or a demand for tribute, or the next time we meet their race we may find out that the catastrophic war that killed one third of all humans is the equivalent of a burglary in their eyes, and that we're welcome to file a police report, but it's unlikely that they'll ever catch the two members of their species who actually came to Earth and did all that, since we didn't know to write down their license plate number. But if it took them hundreds of years to get here and are hostile, then they are willing to put time into killing us. Even if they have radical life expansion technology, those hundreds of years spent in travel are hundreds of years they could have spent doing something else. Even if they have cryogenic suspension, they've missed out on opportunities and entertainments they could have had if they stayed home. That means they care about attacking us enough that it's unlikely they're just going to run along home.
I think it's a given that it's not worth the effort without FTL. And given a head start of a few millenia I would expect them to have it, if it is possible but it should be in theory. There is one big causality complication but I think energy conservation solves that, so if you shut the drive down it would eventually stop or violate conservation of energy/momentum. Some physicists believe that since the spacetime distortion is going faster than light, you couldn't shut the drive down because the front of the ship can't interact with the "spacetime bow wave". I think that's horseshit. If the a ship stops, so does the bow wave, and even then the drive would eventually run out of fuel and stop. Furthermore, inside the "warp bubble" physics behave normally, no time dilation. So a laser shot from the the stern towards the bow would still travel at lightspeed. So the electronics should work fine. And as to the time travel concerns it's not a backwards time machine in a meaningful way. You can't go back before the ship was first used. And besides it's all relative. You can't really go into the past of the same place, you can only go beyond the lightspeed horizon of what we see. So we can travel to a planet send a signal and it can arrive before the light we are currently seeing from the planet on Earth. Because we travelled there faster than light and so we sent the transmission (at lightspeed) before we could have gotten there below c. And so technically we see the past of that planet from OUR point of view. We are NOT going into the past of that planet. Say we leave today and arrive tomorrow. From the point of view of the destination star system it is one day after the ship left Earth. Now say it's 1000 ly. We could send a signal and it arrives a thousand years later. Before we could have sent and received a message (2000 year round trip) so did the message time travel 1000 years? Meh... It's not really a proper time machine so I don't think we need to worry about paradoxes and all that shit. So all we need is negative mass exotic matter. No reason it can't exist. It's just like people from 1850 building a particle accelerator. We need to learn more before having a chance. But the math says it's okay and the energy requirements have been reduced from the impossible to the impractical to the unrealistic, unfeasible, basically impossible but possible in theory all the way to "the energy requirement is not a problem" we are talking in the order of magnitude of an h-bomb of energy to go to Proxima at 10 c. Extraordinarily little energy to travel 4 lightyears in roughly 6 months. Barely more than we would expend to send 100 ton vessel to Mars using chemical engines. Even the direction has been solved. The ship will travel in the direction it was moving through space. So point at the star do a burn, shut down the "kinetic or impulse engines" and turn on the Alcubierre drive. Speed is also unlimited. Depends only on power. We can go 100000 c. The universe expanded much faster than that and we are basically doing the same. Surfing a gravitational wave in the spacetime. Spacetime can do whatever the fk it wants including "move" at a billion times the speed of light in vacuum. The calculation just used 10 c because the energy requirements stay very reasonable at those speeds. But 100 c is perfectly feasible. Just need negative mass exotic matter. I mean some say it can be done with virtual particle pressure in capacitors. Experimental data inconclusive at best. NASA Ames did a few tests of cycling capacitors close to the path of a laser beam veibg split in two going into an interferometer. In theory if the capacitor distors space time aroubd 1 beam, there should be interference between the undisturbed and distorted beam, giving an interference pattern rather than both beams combining into one without an intereference pattern (since it is the same laser beam) If one is slightly out of sync (travelled technically slightly faster than light or slower) an intereference pattern appears. You know the double slit crap. They were using really low budget stuff and while observing SOME interference it wasn't conclusive and couldn't be fully ruled out to be an artifact of electrical interference from powering the circuit on. So inconclusive but not ruled out. That's about the best we get when looking for microbes on Mars or trying to see if we can build NCC-1701. I'm just a drop out, barely made it most ofthe way to a bachelor so my understanding is flawed, not to be cited, relied upon or frankly even read. That's a given. This out of the way, yes I think we will build FTL ships if we survive long enough. How long? Dunno. That's asking Johannes Kepler or a contemporary of his, when we will go to the moon. Maybe 300 years. Maybe 5000 but it ain't happening any time soon. Not even close. All energy problems on Earth would be solved. We would have mastered sublight travel, a trillion people stuffed onto every corner of the solar system and several sub-light geberation ships being underway perhaps some having landed, some lost, some become legend. Some are found a thousand years later drifting through space, inhabitants ignorant of anything more complex than bows and arrows. That is the sort of context where a true FTL warp drive may be feasible and we can start intercepting the generation ships. "Hey guys, how was the last three centuries? Would you like a ride? There's already a McDonalds at your target star system and some really friendly locals. Just don't make fun of their appendages. They don't like that.". Shortly after that a bright flash appears and the warp ships instruments read a massive burst of radiation as the charred remains of a million ton vessel fly apart. What happened? We will never know. But no further generation ships will be contacted and they will be deemed hostile and lost, presumed dead. The galaxy is a rough place. Edited for spelling as well as rewriting part of the time travel stuff to be more accurate. It gets a bit messy once you introduce FTL ships. They kinda somewhat violate all sorts of laws but also kind of not. Part of physics says 100% plausible, no problem 200 years max. Some says fk no, impossible, violates causality blablabla. Further reading follows. Discoverer of warp drive mathematics: Miguel Alcubierre. So a physicist call warp drive "Alcubierre-Drive". It works sublight without violating any law or needing negative mass matter. FTL MUST have negative mass matter (exotic matter). Different from dark matter. That's a different can of worms that may or may not impact the feasibility of FTL Alcubierre drive. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive
We pay them tribute. At least one American administration agreed to do so in exchange for technological advancement. Biological tissue, that means animals and people. And Boron, as borax and kernite. at least that is the speculation, and inside story from alleged whistle blowers. ( I think Steven Greer is a fraud. Let me put that out there.)
Which is also the issue with UFO sightings. If we assume they are all real, all genuine extraterrestrial visitors, why are they so bad at hiding. How many crafts must be here. If we assume that 0.01% off all alien flights have an issue with their invisibility tech, that would mean for every UFO sighting, there are 10 000 craft we don't see. And the better their hiding, the more there are. Which leaves the question, how are they travelling? If so many aliens are coming around, they would either have a big ship somewhere from where they go on weekend trips to Earth, or they have ships so fast, that they fly from their planet to us as work commute. And if that many aliens are visiting already, then their population that can show up at any random afternoon is large enough that attempts at preventing an open invasion are pointless. So if aliens are here, and they wanted to get rid of us, they would've already done so.
@@HappyBeezerStudios ~2 m large object capable of supersonic flight, interstellae travel without a visible propulsion system or ANY HEAT but cannot hide from the FLIR cam of an FA-18... yeah Ufologists can fk right off and go snap ONE SHARP IMAGE. Is one sharp image too much to ask before concluding intelligent alien life exists and visits us like every Tuesday, lets us see them but never says hi. Camera artifacts like lense flare and shutter artifacts, weather balloons etc... radar produces lots of noise all the time. It can see birds and shit. Sifting all that crap out and giving a usable return means a lot of processing where all sorts of stuff can appear on a radar. Like tune the frequency and you can track birds (and F-35s, just look for supersonic birds haha. But good luck in all the noise, still ALLEDGEDLY a skilled radar operator, might be able to folter out all birds too slow to be a jet and then begin looking for stealth jets. They do return radar. Just not much and the signal is scattered and weak AF). Not a shred of credible evidence. Possibility of microbes on Europa is 1000x more fascinating than this crap.
@@EskChan19 Sort of. There are hundreds of reactions that can produce water, and hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. It would not be unreasonable for extraterrestrials to manufacture it. Assuming they make use of water in their bodies... life that is dependent on water is not likely to exist on a planet without water (obviously). Also, the Oort Cloud in our system has insane amounts of water in the form of comets.
@@aaron_brown7324 I am unsure if he was just unaware of the facts, or if he is trying to justify why aliens would visit us. (Surprise, they probably don't have a reason, telescopes and probes are pretty great)
34:00 They proved that beta particles would follow the existing magnetic lines in our atmosphere, creating a "localized" communications blackout as desired. But they used the wrong ratio of certain isotopes in the bomb, so it was a lot stronger than they had anticipated, and it also lasted four times longer than expected. Oopsy Poopsy, indeed.
A) Simon Whistler, your painfully flippant style fits in with this suppressed subject matter perfectly. You made me laugh out loud because of the way you laid bare this taboo subject for newsrooms, political party's and the military. Much like a smart aleck teenager at a bible study. B) I don't know if you have a dedicated team of researchers that gather these concepts or if you're just winging it and then cutting it down in post. But either way, it's quite comprehensive. C) Congratulations. You've just laid out a treatment for Steven Spielberg's next blockbuster movie serial
What about the berserker hypothesis where an AI is eliminating all biological life forms in the galaxy because they are annoying and inefficient? AI is all fun and games until the terminators show up and start killing everyone!
The U.S. does have a plan to counter an alien invasion, as well as one to counter a Zombie Apocalypse. Edit: these plans aren’t entirely serious however as, if I remember correctly, they were come up as a thought exercise for strategists in school/training.
If we're to assume they are similar to us, then aliens discovering us should be similar to the European discovery of the new world, specifically the Aztecs meeting the Spaniards.
They're Spaniards had Catholicism encouraging them to be extra despicable when "discovering", hopefully the aliens aren't under the command of the pope.
If they came to us, that'd be a sign of better tech and higher intelligence from an alien species. We'd probably still be hostile and get ourselves "canceled".
Equally, given what has happened in history when higher tech races have come across less advanced civilisations I don’t rate our chances highly if the species we encounter has the ability to travel in an interstellar way within reasonable periods…
Any alien species capable of interstellar travel would be MORE than capable of performing something like a "Base Delta Zero", or as the lay-people call them "Orbital Bombardment", and that fact makes any and all "resistance" humanity might put up a moot point.
Hostile invasion is probably the least likely scenario for encounters with extraterrestrial life. The conquest and subjugation of a planet would constitute such a mind-boggling expenditure of resources compared to harvesting resources from nearby uninhabited worlds, it's difficult to think of anything that could justify the expense. Trade, conservation, and remote annihilation are far more likely than invasion.
Honestly, I believe we haven’t been visited by extra terrestrials because they took one look at our collective populace and how we treated one another as a whole and went “nope”.
When I read the Thumbnail, “How should we take them out?” I legitimately thought to myself, “hmm for real! How would we show them a good time so they’d be friendly?” Then I read the title of the Vid 😂
Given that they got to Earth in the first place, any alien/extra terrestrial/inter-dimensional beings would have the power to crush us at will. What defense would earth have against technology like that?
I will admit that in the potential instance of aliens actively contacting us for example opening potential trade for raw resources, i won't be surprised if they would resort to annihilation because human leaderships decided to try and fleece them.
The same resources here on earth are abundant in the universe. They could come in and get everything they wanted from asteroids, comets, and moons. And without us knowing anything.
The REAL ETs will NOT invade. But usa/global govts are getting into YOUR heads! They’ve created triangular, boomerang and holographic craft! The tictac is ALSO man made! Beware the COSMIC FALSE FLAG…their last card to be played to usher in a one world govt‼️‼️‼️ It will NOT be the ETs who hurt the masses!
Simon seems to be convinced that UAPs categorically have no extra terrestrial origin of any kind, no mater what the shape, speed, or maneuvers witnessed. Respectfully speaking, how many modern military jets has our good friend Simon piloted, and exactly how acutely aware of drone, missile and aircraft capabilities is he personally or professionally familiar with that justifies dismissing out of hand the testimony of dozens of pilots from all over the world? Surely a United States Navy fighter jet pilot would be able to recognize a drone flying around thousands of feet in the air.
Yeah it's pretty ignorant of him. I'm not some UFO Truther or whatever but flippantly dismissing all UAP as drones is backwards thinking, especially when so many credible scientific institutions are taking these reports seriously. A lot of these probably are drones, hell all of them could be. But throwing out all UAP reports because they're "just drones" doesn't make you look as smart as you think it does.
They probably do but let's be honest here, if an alien force is so advanced that they can feasably do interstellar travel and arrive at earth within a lifespan, what chance do we realistically stand against anything they could muster?
The bigger question is why? If alien species exist, WHY would they exhaust the time, energy and resources to visit us if they can pick up our radio and TV broadcasts? Look us, weird, biased, war like, violent, what advanced species would want to come say hello? If there are aliens, we are in a great big no fly or no contact zone.
@@tgmccoy1556 that is a false equivalency and completely idiotic. they actually used the technology at the time meanwhile aliens would have technology that would be beyond our comprehension.
If aliens are capable of intergalactic travel, they have probably long ago set aside childish things like war and the need to dominate others. As the doomsday clock stands closer than ever to midnight, it might be more worthwhile to speculate on how we can stop the Dr Strangeloves in Washington from launching WW III, which would in all probability go nuclear.
Hold on: On the show, "Unidentified: Inside America's UFO Investigations", Chris Mellon is PROMINENTLY shown involved with releasing the US Navy's "Go Fast" and "Gimbal" UAP gun-camera footage! Hell, Chris, Luis (Lou) Elizondo and Tom DeLonge figure HEAVILY in the series! The Navy pilot interviews are VERY compelling! You cannot feign "no comment" yet have a nationally-televised series in the same breath!
I'll watch the actual video in a minute but to answer the thumbnail, I think we should take them out for a nice dinner and see where it goes from there. :)
It depends on what's for dinner. In the 1960s Twilight Zone episode, when the people figured out how to translate the rest of the book titled "To Serve Man" they discovered it was a cook book. 😳🥺😧😨
You really need to take an astronomy lesson. Do you have any idea how awesomely perfect for liquid water Earth is? Our planet is a shining beacon of life in an otherwise desolate galaxy, so far as we can see. If aliens have biology anything like ours, this planet, at this period of its history is paradise. We will be lucky if we find another planet half as habitable as Earth in our entire galaxy...
Our planet is amazing . Lots of water , various types of food , resources . And if they live in saltwater , we’ll most of our planet is salt water . It would be perfect

Heads up Simon, the audio is a bit off. Not sure why, but when your voice carries to the right side of camera, your voice echoes. Never noticed it before, sounds as if a wall or something that was absorbing sound before is no longer there.
With their means of traveling through the Galaxy or even the Universe, the technology they have would be way beyond what we could deal with. For one they could sit out near the moon and do orbital bombardment, once they do land who knows what tech they have. They could also look like kittens and puppies and kill us with a cuteness factor we are untrained for, when you think about it cats now could take us out as they have already enslaved a large portion of the population lol.

Cough cough there are plans for almost everything you can think off. Zombies, aliens, astroids, fooods, violcanos, taco bell, earthquakes ( usually relates to taco bell). Dont even get me started on land slides and sink holes!
How can there be a plan to deal with a civilization you don’t know exists, with policies, intentions, capabilities and resources that are completely unknown?
it's not actually ridiculous at all. It's saying, reality is, it's the same as what happens after a nuclear war or asteroid collision, no plans, just distraction from ever discussing that it's a certain death sentence for everyone
@@mehere8038 aliens won't come here to wipe us out or anything like that. We are only being studied like animals in the wild. We will survive nuclear war and asteroids because of underground cities we make all the time, it's just they don't let the general public know about them
The other option for resource mining would be farming - for an infinite range of possibilities, including food, unique fauna and flora, etc. Generally, though, I think Arrival pretty much nailed what a believable or even likely encounter would be like.
@@wiretamer5710 because DoD typically doesn’t waste time & energy working on things that they don’t believe are real. Since no one in DoD thinks aliens are real there is no possibility of a potential threat in their mind. It’s the same reason that up until last year no one was seriously looking hat how to defect an asteroid. Now we know it’s a real possibility so we’re investigating real solutions.

Brilliant video Simon. I have often pondered the concepts addressed in this video. I feel as if I’ve finally had the conversation that one cannot have without being sent directly to the looney bin quick smart. Cheers brother!!
One of the issues that doesn't get brought up as often because it's really dependent on what if categories of aliens, but a numbers disparity is not only something worth considering, it's likely. Think of it like they're humans with the tech level to travel the stars. If we got that far, we've developed in more ways than just interstellar travel, medicine, bio science, and other such avenues of advancement are on the table for us. Now, assuming that we take the country with the lowest population replacement rate in the world, which I believe is Japan with something like a -0.66, their birth rate is 1.34 babies/woman/year, stable with our current tech level is 2.1, but if we had a medical equivalent to the industrial revolution, that would change things, in several ways. First and most pressingly, Japan's replacement rate would not be a problem if everyone just stopped dying, could hold onto fertility for an extra 3 decades or so, if not longer, meaning not only can each woman have more kids, they can take longer between kids if they choose to. So the population doesn't die and keeps growing at a rate of 1.34 babies/woman/year, that becomes an exponential growth curve. The second thing to consider is cloning because that is also an option with the Med/Bio revolution. The point is when it comes to alien invasion, they can come at you with 20 soldiers, not for our every 1 soldier, for our every 1 human. The plan for alien invasion is surrender because you are beaten in every conceivable metric before the first shot is fired.
none of that would even come into play. they would just nudge asteroids into earth from the mars/jupiter asteroid belt, the neptunian kuiper belt or the oort cloud...
@Scot Fretwell and the human race are the indigenous in this case, lol. However, this does not mean an advanced alien race hasn't gone past the need for violence and things like that!
If you ask Harvard professor Avi Loeb why he's looking for an extraterrestrial intelligence amongst all the UAP one of the reasons he'll give is he has a hard time finding intelligence native to Earth.
Footfall by Niven/Pournelle? That one came to my mind, too. Why make a plan and keep it current when you can just round up the relevant nerds to make something up on the fly.
The most powerful weapon any aliens could use against Earth is the preconceived notion from humans that it would be hopeless to fight. The only thing to fear is fear itself.
It would be hopeless to fight. It would be like those silly people in the US who think they need an AR15 to protect them from the government. The US military has Stealth Bombers, tanks and Nukes, you have an assault rifle. Only, if aliens showed up, it would be like an ant hill trying to fight a kid with boiling water and a magnifying glass...
I’d be pissed if I was Elon and spent BILLIONS AND BILLIONS building space craft and then some aliens show up and are like “you just want to go to Mars??? Um hop in I’ll get you guys there in about 9 Earth minutes “…. “How long ya been building that… um… ship??” Lol..
Umm.. ship 😂 We don’t have the tech to go there, but once we’re there, we’re gona terraform it somehow, while getting fried with radiation, drinking recycling “water”, eating aquaponic lettuce, and living in tubes. Not sure why but we’ll figure it out on the way there.
I use to be very sceptical about the subject but last year me and 3 others saw something I have no words for can't even describe the colors it was over the road ahead of us the middle was all we could see at first because of trees on both sides of the road it was about 200 yards away about 100 ft up it was massive when we got home and tried describing it everyone asked why didn't you take a picture or record it. The very thing I often asked when I was told a ufo story but when you see something that you know is real everyone around you is just as shocked so you try and rationalize it with everyone then it's gone it was there a minute or two and we were like deer in the headlights I'll never forget it honestly it was kinda beautiful though ominous it was red black and grey but looked like it was boiling but solid like a closeup of the surface of the sun with all the convection zones beat I can do trying to describe it oh and shaped like the mouth of a emoji 😅 almost like a capital d with the flat at the top at a slight angle
I ve been watching every single mega projects video that comes out and I had no idea this channel existed until youtube recommended and I saw a familiar face on the thumbnail! Does he have any more channels besides these two?
I think this is the best video I've ever seen on this topic. Only 2 points I think you missed, 1. If coming to meet, it's not necessarily humans they wish to meet (see Star Trek 4 plot for details) 2. There's no reason to assume they will be of the animal kingdom in origins. Plant kingdom in particular would be interesting & highly possible. Fungus & microbe kingdoms develop fast on earth, so we've probably seen how they will go on other planets compared to the animal kingdom, but plant kingdom here went slow, not just in movement, but also in cloning themselves & long life spans, so delayed evolution. No reason plants HAVE to move slow, if they moved at the same speed as animals on another planet, then their evolution could easily follow a similar path to animals on earth, in terms of intelligence etc. If it's plant kingdom species that come here, then see point 1, but on overdrive & add to the biological weapons a natural tendency towards using chemical weapons on animal kingdom species too, so absolute mastery of that & the ability & likelyhood of deploying from orbit. Additionally they could be masters of camouflage & we have natural "plant blindness" that would make that work even better. Would anyone even notice if a space ship landed in the Amazon & started studying or interacting with the local inhabitants there? (and by local inhabitants, obviously I'm referring to the plants, unlikely they'd have any real interest in the animal ones). Those are the only major points I think you missed in the video & they are relevant, because we could increase our chance of survival by studying them in more detail now & learning how to communicate. For all we know, alien plants have already visited & taken dna samples from all species here to use to develop biological weapons. If we learn to communicate with plants, they might tell us that, along with that communication also allowing us to better understand how to activate their natural defences to protect them against predators & so increase crop yields, how to know when our house plant needs watering before it dies & so on & so on. There's definitely advantages to be had by increasing our understanding & communication abilities with plants, dolphins, octopus etc etc & in the case of an alien invasion, that might be the deciding factor in if we get advance knowledge & have any chance at all or not (although even then, like your video says, highly unlikely we have a chance - unless contact is to help another species & that species tells the aliens humans are good & don't hurt them)
looking at world-wide record-high temperatures, flood, and political dramas etc etc, this discussion of different gloom and doom is so refreshing. lol. hopefully all governments can work together at some point, and come up with a plan on how to delay and hide. interesting discussion though. just subscribed to this channel.
The two statements at 1:31 and 2:14 summarize it very well. Besides, if there are Aliens who know about us and may reach earth I would guess that they would set up a quarantine zone around our solar system with some dire warnings to keep as far away of the human species as possible anyway.
Also didn't mention that the scientist behind Project Bluebook (who came up with the swamp gas nonsense) went from skeptic to believer, and went on studying UFO sightings the rest of his life, being dissatisfied with the lack of desire of the government to continue looking into the unexplainable stuff.
How amusing would it be if it turns out whoever was doing all the surveys asking governments if they had a plan to fight alien invasions, turned out to be aliens.
"Do a plan to defend against this type of threat?" "No...? *takes notes* okay good"
This was actually a plot point in Babylon 5.
how amusing would it be that now, Russia would get attacked by aliens and then asked for support from the US, as agreed before.
Elon musk about how he would tweet about if they found an alien.
me: Yeah, that's what a hidden alien would say, lol.
Lol.. they end up being the super rich 1% who had influential power saying “aliens don’t exist “. Ending it with You guys are silly.
The US government has plans for an invasion by Canada, something to do with rattling nickels in a tin can.
We do have several plans depending on their level of technology and willingness to fight. Just because a civilization developed weapons much if any better than our own. We have much better weapons than we deploy, we are usually three generations ahead of what we show the world. Or the aliens might not be very good at war. Bloody their noses a couple times and hope they go looking for easier pickings.
The main plan is to stall for time, give ground as we have to and counterattack when ever there is even the hope of a hope. To capture specimens and their weapons. What chemicals or pathogens might kill them, like War of the Worlds. We will also make every effort to reverse engineer any captured tech.
The fact we are sending invitations out into space and not expecting anyone to come to our party is gonna make us look like terrible welcoming hosts when they do decide to show up.
Simon actually made this video to convince the aliens that they should invade Europa instead of Earth because its more profitable.

The only thing that scares me more than an alien invasion, is a government response to an alien invasion.

Sir, I am quoting you on that!
Just have our new alien overlords watch all of Simon's content from the very beginning. That'll keep them busy long enough for us humans to figure out a battle or escape plan. It may take a few centuries, but, right now there is enough Whistleverse content to keep us convered.
😂😂😂
It is heavier. But not that much.
If you do the math, the mass at a speed of 0.9999999c increases by a factor of just 2236. (2236*mass(electron)= 2.04*10^-27 kg)

No shit , this guy posts more content than seems possible 🤔
They'll just think the only explanation for Simon is we've mastered cloning.
I wonder if aliens just roll up their windows and lock their doors when they fly by Earth? 🤔
a bit like Queen Victoria when she went on her first journey by train ... and saw what England was really like
And use alcohol wipes after handling us.
Or cross over the other side of the galaxy pretending to be busy looking at their phones.
Earth is the Australia of the outer rim of this galaxy. I'm convinced of that. And Humans are the real space orcs. We are the creatures most other spacefaring species would be terrified of... We are chaotic and self-destructive on GOOD days.

sounds like a European coming to America and deciding to see new York , Chicago and Los Angeles all on the same weekend.
They also cannot be too big either. Earths gravity would screw with their physical bodies and space armada and it'll just crash down to the ground
@@alwenke212 really? That's weird! In Australia, it's the Americans, not the Europeans that think they can see Sydney, Melbourne, the Great Barrier Reef, "Australia zoo" & Uluru all in a weekend & then catch a ferry over to NZ for dinner & a flight home.
Europeans who come here are much better educated on geography & fully understand the distance issues we find. They know if they want to travel to Perth, they need to book onto the 3 day train to take them there & know they need at least a year to travel around the country & see at least the basics (although most come already planning on doing farmwork, so as to be eligible for a 2-3 year visa extension, cause they understand a year is really not enough time to see the whole country).
All that said though, I am thinking, depending on what they want to see, they probably could fit everything they consider worth seeing in those places into a weekend, especially when you consider that public holidays are much more common outside the US, so by "weekend", they likely mean 3 days, so quite doable really to do a city a day, isn't it. You have ample flights there, including overnight ones, so I guess they just expect to use those. They probably don't understand the difference in flight quality between the 2 countries though lol probably anticipate getting a LOT more sleep on the plane than they actually will
The more I think about it, the more I'm actually trying to figure out what a European would go to those cities for, that they don't already have in Europe. I would have thought they'd be more likely to want to to see Yellowstone & the Grand Canyon & maybe somewhere like Florida. Why would a European want to go to Chicago?
@@cherrydragon3120if they're advanced enough to reach earth I'm pretty sure they'd figure out ways to beat gravity
The best part of this video is watching Simon, in his typical manner and tone of voice, casually describing so many methods for ending other living beings.
Honestly, our “best” hope (from what you’ve outlined here) would be to act as if there are aliens heading towards us and work on (a) a unified global understanding and (b) putting as much of our resources as possible into STEM fields.
Basically, Star Trek had it right all along and that’s what we should be aiming for 😂
more like typical XCOM plot development.
Righto ozimandius
well, that would require some international cooperation. I posit that because we cannot achieve that cooperation to combat obvious climate crisis across the planet, the idea that we could do it for an imaginary threat is laughable.
Everybody agrees that we should all come together. Nobody agrees upon under whom.

@@BLAZENYCBLACKOPSI mean, we do have knowledge of how to utilize three of the most destructive forces in the observable universe. And decided to weaponize two of them.
The only thing that scares me worse than an alien invasion is the government's response to homelessness and mental illness.
@@WhiteTrashtastic of course....those Title 19 restrictions ended right.
If your homeless get a fucking job or work 5 jobs if you need to like my mom did who now owns 2 houses and 3 properties. Most people don’t want to put in that much effort to get paid. Instead they want a job meant for high schoolers to make a little bit of money but not live off of such as McDonald’s to accommodate them with more pay. McDonald’s and other basic jobs where didn’t have a livable income when my mom graduated high school in the early 1970s so she had to work multiple like everyone else who’s poor and needs money should. I agree with the mental illness part though as those people wouldn’t be able to work 5 jobs as it is if they are mentally I’ll. Once you have a comfortable income then feel free not to work as much that’s how it used to be and how it need to go back to being.
I for one welcome our new alien overlords.

It's interesting that people often assume aliens might be human sized.
They could absolutely be tiny, like insect sized or smaller.
It’s a fair assumption. An alien the size of an insect or smaller likely isn't interstellar-traveling.
@@thehalfricanguy I might disagree... A sci-fi novel mentioned how surprising it was that an aquatic species managed space flight because of the extra mass of water in their vessels and the inertia that water would cause compared to air.
Smaller organisms require less mass to leave a planet, so it's technically easier when you think about it. 🤔
@@TragoudistrosMPH Cool, sci-fi novels are fictional stories that take numerous liberties with scientific hypotheses for their plot.
I'll agree they could be smaller than the average human. They wouldn't be insect sized or smaller, maybe the size of a dwarf at the smallest.
@@thehalfricanguy what's the science behind your size hypothesis?
There's nothing sci-fi about mass. Water weighs more than air, so a hull filled with water requires more fuel for escape velocity, acceleration, and deceleration. Physics.
@@TragoudistrosMPH Cool, I never said that Mass was sci-fi. I'm clearly stating sci-fi novels shouldn't be taken as science fact.
As for alien size. Alien life could be of many sizes. Interstellar travelers would likely be larger than an insect just logically. They need to be large enough to build the ship and it's required support structures for launch. While probably an alien the size of a nat could do that, it's extremely improbable.
I can tell you what the world's governments response to alien invasion is: "How much of our population do we need to feed to you to get on your good side?"
Okey alien, get in line. These are my adeno chrome farms! Sorge Goros.
Only of they want our biomass for food.
What if they need labor? Or like our architecture and roads, only those pesky apes are everywhere.
lol plot from "torchwood", then additionally "how do we choose which children to give the aliens? Easy, why did we even bother doing nationwide educational assessments if we weren't going to use it to pick out the dumbest, most disposable kids to sacrifice?"
Only thing that series did wrong was to chase after the kids the parents pulled out of school on the alien invasion day, so as to protect them, in real life, those kids would be left & any of welfare's books would fill their places. Gotta have parents who's kids are being taken & are upset about it & trying to stop it to fuel the drama though
ADVENT welcomes all citizens to it's medical clinics. Give thanks to the Elders.
This sounds way too probable
I love how you could say 'like a game of whack-a-mole' in regards to beating mouse sized aliens with a straight face
Human hubris, especially human military hubris, is beyond delusional at times. Any civilization whose technology was sufficiently advanced to be able to travel between stars isn’t going to be overly challenged by the present or foreseeable state of our military technology. At best we’d accomplish nothing more than to kick a hornet nest.
As Sagan put it, if an intergalactic armada were to suddenly appear in our skies, we would be very accommodating...
The one video that made the aliens think, give up, turn around and .. leave. Kinda soothing though to actually know: "We are just a Non-factor." - Thanks for sharing, was hilarious!

Aliens probably watching this video rn saying “write that down! Write that down!”
I've felt for a very long time that the two most realistic depictions of aliens arriving on earth are the Denis Villeneuve film 'Arrival' and (shockingly) Stephanie Meyer's novel 'The Host'. In 'Arrival', the extra terrestrials are visiting us for a very specific reason, giving them a clear motivation for coming to earth in person, for acknowledging our intelligence, and for not retaliating when we instigate violence. It depicts a really effective hypothetical for what aliens would look like and what communicating with them would involve (they're not bipedal, they're not humanoid, and they don't speak English, or really speak at all). Stephanie Meyer's novel (though incredibly problematic in many ways) is an excellent example of what Simon was saying about us not noticing an invasion until it was already too late. The beings are also non-humanoid and have a very complex, unique biology, only being able to communicate with humans or communicate at all via parasitism. They are a hive species that only desires to expand, like Simon's example of the space ants. Before beginning their invasion they take samples (i.e. they abduct people and do tests on them) and most importantly, the only reason they don't completely wipe us out is because, like Simon said, they have a very strict moral code and the idea of doing harm of any sort to a living being (likely the result of the evolution as a hive and as parasites). There as of yet has never been a great example (that I'm aware of) of the 'extra terrestrial anthropologists/biologists' theory, which is the one I find most interesting, and is probably the most likely. That aliens are really only interested in studying us, similarly to how we study gorillas or lions or something. They observe us from afar for the most part, like a nature documentary. They occasionally take samples, maybe kidnap some of us for zoos or something. If they're able to, a few might anthropomorphize themselves or pretend to be dogs or something and attempt to live among us for research, Jane Goodall style. The best example of this in pop culture would probably be Dr. Who. In this scenario our weapons would probably be pretty pointless. In all likelihood to these scientists, our nuclear weapons would be akin to, at best, an alligator snapping its jaws. Dangerous-ish, but not a real threat to many people. But that's okay because they wouldn't want to hurt us if they didn't have to. We don't attack the gorillas that we study after all. In a weird way, it would be sort of sweet. And hell, maybe one day we'll have a Coco that they will teach to speak to them and we can exchange information. Like alien big brothers or something 🖤
There’s a plan in place for a zombie outbreak…there’s gotta be an alien invasion tactic 😅

It was a story by Damon Knight, not Asimov.
Their motivations can be dumbed down to three things.
I think there could be a fourth one, that is culling of competition or in other words, similar to invasion but done out of spite or fear; a pre-emptive attack on any sentient species that an alien race think will be a threat to them in the future.
So basically the Xindi from Star Trek: Enterprise.
It would pretty much about resources. Either biomass, labor, or living space. Those are the things that Earth has that no other body in the solar system offers at this point.
If they want biomass, that means we are either food or fuel.
If they want labor, they come to enslave us.
If they want living space, they would strike with something that gets rid of humans, but keeps the infrastructure and biosphere intact. We've already built houses and power/water grids and transportation networks that they would keep.
Unless they are the benevolent kind that see how bad we are and try to help us.
A civilization that flies around the galaxy looking for habitable worlds would've run out on their own planet. They are most likely united, either through cooporation, or because one faction conquered everyone else.
The only real threat I could see we could offer would be out of control AI, in which case they can just hit us with an EMP type weapon that just knocks out all our tech & return again every 100 years or so to repeat - or even leave a device here programmed to repeat it every 100 years. Problem solved, with far less drama than wiping us all out - and if we somehow manage to develop tech not vulnerable to everything the aliens have programmed in that tech destroying burst, then that's a bonus, it's something they've not figured out that we somehow did, so they can come & harvest that tech for their own use
Who's to say it would even be that serious? It could be the equivalent of some illegal logging operation in the amazon rainforest, or some space biker gang that just shows up drunk and uses earth for target practice. We assume that it would be some entire unified species attacking us for some grand reason when it could just be some interstellar degenerates living it up.

If it took them six months to get here from their nearest base, or even a couple of years, then this could essentially be a raid. This could be a little adventure a few of them were on, where if it fails, they might just retreat. Heck, they might come back a few years later with more firepower, or they could come back with an offer for a treaty, or a demand for tribute, or the next time we meet their race we may find out that the catastrophic war that killed one third of all humans is the equivalent of a burglary in their eyes, and that we're welcome to file a police report, but it's unlikely that they'll ever catch the two members of their species who actually came to Earth and did all that, since we didn't know to write down their license plate number.
But if it took them hundreds of years to get here and are hostile, then they are willing to put time into killing us. Even if they have radical life expansion technology, those hundreds of years spent in travel are hundreds of years they could have spent doing something else. Even if they have cryogenic suspension, they've missed out on opportunities and entertainments they could have had if they stayed home. That means they care about attacking us enough that it's unlikely they're just going to run along home.
Stop thinking about long distance travel in terms of aliens coming here in a car driven from Mars.
I think it's a given that it's not worth the effort without FTL. And given a head start of a few millenia I would expect them to have it, if it is possible but it should be in theory.
There is one big causality complication but I think energy conservation solves that, so if you shut the drive down it would eventually stop or violate conservation of energy/momentum.
Some physicists believe that since the spacetime distortion is going faster than light, you couldn't shut the drive down because the front of the ship can't interact with the "spacetime bow wave". I think that's horseshit. If the a ship stops, so does the bow wave, and even then the drive would eventually run out of fuel and stop. Furthermore, inside the "warp bubble" physics behave normally, no time dilation. So a laser shot from the the stern towards the bow would still travel at lightspeed. So the electronics should work fine.
And as to the time travel concerns it's not a backwards time machine in a meaningful way. You can't go back before the ship was first used. And besides it's all relative. You can't really go into the past of the same place, you can only go beyond the lightspeed horizon of what we see. So we can travel to a planet send a signal and it can arrive before the light we are currently seeing from the planet on Earth. Because we travelled there faster than light and so we sent the transmission (at lightspeed) before we could have gotten there below c. And so technically we see the past of that planet from OUR point of view. We are NOT going into the past of that planet. Say we leave today and arrive tomorrow. From the point of view of the destination star system it is one day after the ship left Earth. Now say it's 1000 ly. We could send a signal and it arrives a thousand years later. Before we could have sent and received a message (2000 year round trip) so did the message time travel 1000 years? Meh... It's not really a proper time machine so I don't think we need to worry about paradoxes and all that shit.
So all we need is negative mass exotic matter. No reason it can't exist. It's just like people from 1850 building a particle accelerator. We need to learn more before having a chance. But the math says it's okay and the energy requirements have been reduced from the impossible to the impractical to the unrealistic, unfeasible, basically impossible but possible in theory all the way to "the energy requirement is not a problem" we are talking in the order of magnitude of an h-bomb of energy to go to Proxima at 10 c. Extraordinarily little energy to travel 4 lightyears in roughly 6 months. Barely more than we would expend to send 100 ton vessel to Mars using chemical engines.
Even the direction has been solved. The ship will travel in the direction it was moving through space. So point at the star do a burn, shut down the "kinetic or impulse engines" and turn on the Alcubierre drive. Speed is also unlimited. Depends only on power. We can go 100000 c. The universe expanded much faster than that and we are basically doing the same. Surfing a gravitational wave in the spacetime. Spacetime can do whatever the fk it wants including "move" at a billion times the speed of light in vacuum. The calculation just used 10 c because the energy requirements stay very reasonable at those speeds. But 100 c is perfectly feasible. Just need negative mass exotic matter. I mean some say it can be done with virtual particle pressure in capacitors. Experimental data inconclusive at best. NASA Ames did a few tests of cycling capacitors close to the path of a laser beam veibg split in two going into an interferometer. In theory if the capacitor distors space time aroubd 1 beam, there should be interference between the undisturbed and distorted beam, giving an interference pattern rather than both beams combining into one without an intereference pattern (since it is the same laser beam) If one is slightly out of sync (travelled technically slightly faster than light or slower) an intereference pattern appears. You know the double slit crap. They were using really low budget stuff and while observing SOME interference it wasn't conclusive and couldn't be fully ruled out to be an artifact of electrical interference from powering the circuit on. So inconclusive but not ruled out. That's about the best we get when looking for microbes on Mars or trying to see if we can build NCC-1701. I'm just a drop out, barely made it most ofthe way to a bachelor so my understanding is flawed, not to be cited, relied upon or frankly even read. That's a given. This out of the way, yes I think we will build FTL ships if we survive long enough.
How long? Dunno. That's asking Johannes Kepler or a contemporary of his, when we will go to the moon. Maybe 300 years. Maybe 5000 but it ain't happening any time soon. Not even close. All energy problems on Earth would be solved. We would have mastered sublight travel, a trillion people stuffed onto every corner of the solar system and several sub-light geberation ships being underway perhaps some having landed, some lost, some become legend. Some are found a thousand years later drifting through space, inhabitants ignorant of anything more complex than bows and arrows.
That is the sort of context where a true FTL warp drive may be feasible and we can start intercepting the generation ships. "Hey guys, how was the last three centuries? Would you like a ride? There's already a McDonalds at your target star system and some really friendly locals. Just don't make fun of their appendages. They don't like that.".
Shortly after that a bright flash appears and the warp ships instruments read a massive burst of radiation as the charred remains of a million ton vessel fly apart. What happened? We will never know. But no further generation ships will be contacted and they will be deemed hostile and lost, presumed dead.
The galaxy is a rough place.
Edited for spelling as well as rewriting part of the time travel stuff to be more accurate. It gets a bit messy once you introduce FTL ships. They kinda somewhat violate all sorts of laws but also kind of not. Part of physics says 100% plausible, no problem 200 years max. Some says fk no, impossible, violates causality blablabla. Further reading follows. Discoverer of warp drive mathematics: Miguel Alcubierre. So a physicist call warp drive "Alcubierre-Drive". It works sublight without violating any law or needing negative mass matter. FTL MUST have negative mass matter (exotic matter). Different from dark matter. That's a different can of worms that may or may not impact the feasibility of FTL Alcubierre drive. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive
We pay them tribute. At least one American administration agreed to do so in exchange for technological advancement. Biological tissue, that means animals and people. And Boron, as borax and kernite. at least that is the speculation, and inside story from alleged whistle blowers. ( I think Steven Greer is a fraud. Let me put that out there.)
Which is also the issue with UFO sightings. If we assume they are all real, all genuine extraterrestrial visitors, why are they so bad at hiding.
How many crafts must be here. If we assume that 0.01% off all alien flights have an issue with their invisibility tech, that would mean for every UFO sighting, there are 10 000 craft we don't see. And the better their hiding, the more there are.
Which leaves the question, how are they travelling? If so many aliens are coming around, they would either have a big ship somewhere from where they go on weekend trips to Earth, or they have ships so fast, that they fly from their planet to us as work commute.
And if that many aliens are visiting already, then their population that can show up at any random afternoon is large enough that attempts at preventing an open invasion are pointless.
So if aliens are here, and they wanted to get rid of us, they would've already done so.
@@HappyBeezerStudios ~2 m large object capable of supersonic flight, interstellae travel without a visible propulsion system or ANY HEAT but cannot hide from the FLIR cam of an FA-18... yeah Ufologists can fk right off and go snap ONE SHARP IMAGE. Is one sharp image too much to ask before concluding intelligent alien life exists and visits us like every Tuesday, lets us see them but never says hi. Camera artifacts like lense flare and shutter artifacts, weather balloons etc... radar produces lots of noise all the time. It can see birds and shit. Sifting all that crap out and giving a usable return means a lot of processing where all sorts of stuff can appear on a radar. Like tune the frequency and you can track birds (and F-35s, just look for supersonic birds haha. But good luck in all the noise, still ALLEDGEDLY a skilled radar operator, might be able to folter out all birds too slow to be a jet and then begin looking for stealth jets. They do return radar. Just not much and the signal is scattered and weak AF).
Not a shred of credible evidence. Possibility of microbes on Europa is 1000x more fascinating than this crap.

Most aliens don't care about us & our planet. I have a theory that Earth is just a prison planet, zoo & vacation spot for aliens
Earth has water. Water is quite rare in the universe.
@@EskChan19 most of the resources on our planet can be found on other planets just in our galaxy. So they can find better water on other planets
@@EskChan19 Sort of. There are hundreds of reactions that can produce water, and hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. It would not be unreasonable for extraterrestrials to manufacture it. Assuming they make use of water in their bodies... life that is dependent on water is not likely to exist on a planet without water (obviously). Also, the Oort Cloud in our system has insane amounts of water in the form of comets.
@Randy19 there are moon around Jupiter with insane amounts of frozen water
@@aaron_brown7324 I am unsure if he was just unaware of the facts, or if he is trying to justify why aliens would visit us. (Surprise, they probably don't have a reason, telescopes and probes are pretty great)
We should be less concerned about alien invasions and more worried about combating our own AI.
Lol what?
Or how about using AI to deal with Aliens ?
Easy for an advanced alien to take control of AI remotely the rest is history.

The U.S. does have a plan to counter an alien invasion, as well as one to counter a Zombie Apocalypse.
Edit: these plans aren’t entirely serious however as, if I remember correctly, they were come up as a thought exercise for strategists in school/training.

That's because it is sci fi.

If we're to assume they are similar to us, then aliens discovering us should be similar to the European discovery of the new world, specifically the Aztecs meeting the Spaniards.
They're Spaniards had Catholicism encouraging them to be extra despicable when "discovering", hopefully the aliens aren't under the command of the pope.
Given how aggressive, hostile and cruel humans are I shudder to think of how another sentient species would be treated.
Imagine one that earned that treatment?
DeSantis or Abbott would fly them to Mars.
If they came to us, that'd be a sign of better tech and higher intelligence from an alien species. We'd probably still be hostile and get ourselves "canceled".
i think were pretty close to the practical limits of those traits... the Klingons would never make it
Equally, given what has happened in history when higher tech races have come across less advanced civilisations I don’t rate our chances highly if the species we encounter has the ability to travel in an interstellar way within reasonable periods…
Any alien species capable of interstellar travel would be MORE than capable of performing something like a "Base Delta Zero", or as the lay-people call them "Orbital Bombardment", and that fact makes any and all "resistance" humanity might put up a moot point.
Thank God we'll never
have to worry about it.
They are in our orbit all the time!
I think the assumption that any aliens reaching earth will have hostile intent says far more about humans than it does about extraterrestrial life.
What happened to the image at 1:59 ? Or am I just confused on what it was supposed to be.
Hostile invasion is probably the least likely scenario for encounters with extraterrestrial life. The conquest and subjugation of a planet would constitute such a mind-boggling expenditure of resources compared to harvesting resources from nearby uninhabited worlds, it's difficult to think of anything that could justify the expense. Trade, conservation, and remote annihilation are far more likely than invasion.
Unless they want slaves
@@catherinesanchez1185 Hard to imagine that robots wouldn't be cheaper.
And way less problematic
Honestly, I believe we haven’t been visited by extra terrestrials because they took one look at our collective populace and how we treated one another as a whole and went “nope”.

Given that they got to Earth in the first place, any alien/extra terrestrial/inter-dimensional beings would have the power to crush us at will. What defense would earth have against technology like that?
brilliant video, thank you!
Don’t you think the universes’ size and the fact it is getting bigger kind of eliminates that possibility?
I will admit that in the potential instance of aliens actively contacting us for example opening potential trade for raw resources, i won't be surprised if they would resort to annihilation because human leaderships decided to try and fleece them.
I would advise the aliens to not shop on Temu.
100% because if we have learned anything in the last few years, it is that humans in positions of power are the most corruptible among us.
I'm thinking the reason Elon hasn't seen them is they've figured out he's someone to stay clear of
The same resources here on earth are abundant in the universe. They could come in and get everything they wanted from asteroids, comets, and moons. And without us knowing anything.

By Grabthar's Hammer, today we celebrate our Independence Day!!!😂
Simon seems to be convinced that UAPs categorically have no extra terrestrial origin of any kind, no mater what the shape, speed, or maneuvers witnessed. Respectfully speaking, how many modern military jets has our good friend Simon piloted, and exactly how acutely aware of drone, missile and aircraft capabilities is he personally or professionally familiar with that justifies dismissing out of hand the testimony of dozens of pilots from all over the world? Surely a United States Navy fighter jet pilot would be able to recognize a drone flying around thousands of feet in the air.
People who dismiss the possibility out of hand just look like smug fools these days.
Yeah it's pretty ignorant of him. I'm not some UFO Truther or whatever but flippantly dismissing all UAP as drones is backwards thinking, especially when so many credible scientific institutions are taking these reports seriously. A lot of these probably are drones, hell all of them could be. But throwing out all UAP reports because they're "just drones" doesn't make you look as smart as you think it does.
They probably do but let's be honest here, if an alien force is so advanced that they can feasably do interstellar travel and arrive at earth within a lifespan, what chance do we realistically stand against anything they could muster?
I Don't know ask the Lakotas, Vietnamese, or the Overmountain men of the applachians.
The bigger question is why? If alien species exist, WHY would they exhaust the time, energy and resources to visit us if they can pick up our radio and TV broadcasts? Look us, weird, biased, war like, violent, what advanced species would want to come say hello? If there are aliens, we are in a great big no fly or no contact zone.
@@tgmccoy1556 that is a false equivalency and completely idiotic. they actually used the technology at the time meanwhile aliens would have technology that would be beyond our comprehension.
If aliens are capable of intergalactic travel, they have probably long ago set aside childish things like war and the need to dominate others.
As the doomsday clock stands closer than ever to midnight, it might be more worthwhile to speculate on how we can stop the Dr Strangeloves in Washington from launching WW III, which would in all probability go nuclear.
@@tgmccoy1556 If they can travel interstellar distances, they'd most likely be capable of scouring the planet of life, if they so desired.

They could just be seeing what we would do, basically they come in peace but if we shoot at them, they will attack back.
You really need to take an astronomy lesson. Do you have any idea how awesomely perfect for liquid water Earth is?
Our planet is a shining beacon of life in an otherwise desolate galaxy, so far as we can see. If aliens have biology anything like ours, this planet, at this period of its history is paradise.
We will be lucky if we find another planet half as habitable as Earth in our entire galaxy...

Heads up Simon, the audio is a bit off. Not sure why, but when your voice carries to the right side of camera, your voice echoes. Never noticed it before, sounds as if a wall or something that was absorbing sound before is no longer there.
With their means of traveling through the Galaxy or even the Universe, the technology they have would be way beyond what we could deal with. For one they could sit out near the moon and do orbital bombardment, once they do land who knows what tech they have.

Brilliant video Simon. I have often pondered the concepts addressed in this video. I feel as if I’ve finally had the conversation that one cannot have without being sent directly to the looney bin quick smart.
Cheers brother!!
One of the issues that doesn't get brought up as often because it's really dependent on what if categories of aliens, but a numbers disparity is not only something worth considering, it's likely.
Think of it like they're humans with the tech level to travel the stars. If we got that far, we've developed in more ways than just interstellar travel, medicine, bio science, and other such avenues of advancement are on the table for us. Now, assuming that we take the country with the lowest population replacement rate in the world, which I believe is Japan with something like a -0.66, their birth rate is 1.34 babies/woman/year, stable with our current tech level is 2.1, but if we had a medical equivalent to the industrial revolution, that would change things, in several ways.
First and most pressingly, Japan's replacement rate would not be a problem if everyone just stopped dying, could hold onto fertility for an extra 3 decades or so, if not longer, meaning not only can each woman have more kids, they can take longer between kids if they choose to. So the population doesn't die and keeps growing at a rate of 1.34 babies/woman/year, that becomes an exponential growth curve.
The second thing to consider is cloning because that is also an option with the Med/Bio revolution.
The point is when it comes to alien invasion, they can come at you with 20 soldiers, not for our every 1 soldier, for our every 1 human. The plan for alien invasion is surrender because you are beaten in every conceivable metric before the first shot is fired.
none of that would even come into play. they would just nudge asteroids into earth from the mars/jupiter asteroid belt, the neptunian kuiper belt or the oort cloud...

Can I kindly get your sources for the comments you cited at the start? I am writing something (academic) about this very topic..
The most powerful weapon any aliens could use against Earth is the preconceived notion from humans that it would be hopeless to fight. The only thing to fear is fear itself.
It would be hopeless to fight.
It would be like those silly people in the US who think they need an AR15 to protect them from the government. The US military has Stealth Bombers, tanks and Nukes, you have an assault rifle.
Only, if aliens showed up, it would be like an ant hill trying to fight a kid with boiling water and a magnifying glass...
I’d be pissed if I was Elon and spent BILLIONS AND BILLIONS building space craft and then some aliens show up and are like “you just want to go to Mars??? Um hop in I’ll get you guys there in about 9 Earth minutes “…. “How long ya been building that… um… ship??” Lol..
Umm.. ship 😂
We don’t have the tech to go there, but once we’re there, we’re gona terraform it somehow, while getting fried with radiation, drinking recycling “water”, eating aquaponic lettuce, and living in tubes. Not sure why but we’ll figure it out on the way there.
I use to be very sceptical about the subject but last year me and 3 others saw something I have no words for can't even describe the colors it was over the road ahead of us the middle was all we could see at first because of trees on both sides of the road it was about 200 yards away about 100 ft up it was massive when we got home and tried describing it everyone asked why didn't you take a picture or record it. The very thing I often asked when I was told a ufo story but when you see something that you know is real everyone around you is just as shocked so you try and rationalize it with everyone then it's gone it was there a minute or two and we were like deer in the headlights I'll never forget it honestly it was kinda beautiful though ominous it was red black and grey but looked like it was boiling but solid like a closeup of the surface of the sun with all the convection zones beat I can do trying to describe it oh and shaped like the mouth of a emoji 😅 almost like a capital d with the flat at the top at a slight angle

I think this is the best video I've ever seen on this topic.
Only 2 points I think you missed,
1. If coming to meet, it's not necessarily humans they wish to meet (see Star Trek 4 plot for details)
2. There's no reason to assume they will be of the animal kingdom in origins. Plant kingdom in particular would be interesting & highly possible. Fungus & microbe kingdoms develop fast on earth, so we've probably seen how they will go on other planets compared to the animal kingdom, but plant kingdom here went slow, not just in movement, but also in cloning themselves & long life spans, so delayed evolution. No reason plants HAVE to move slow, if they moved at the same speed as animals on another planet, then their evolution could easily follow a similar path to animals on earth, in terms of intelligence etc.
If it's plant kingdom species that come here, then see point 1, but on overdrive & add to the biological weapons a natural tendency towards using chemical weapons on animal kingdom species too, so absolute mastery of that & the ability & likelyhood of deploying from orbit.
Additionally they could be masters of camouflage & we have natural "plant blindness" that would make that work even better. Would anyone even notice if a space ship landed in the Amazon & started studying or interacting with the local inhabitants there? (and by local inhabitants, obviously I'm referring to the plants, unlikely they'd have any real interest in the animal ones).
Those are the only major points I think you missed in the video & they are relevant, because we could increase our chance of survival by studying them in more detail now & learning how to communicate. For all we know, alien plants have already visited & taken dna samples from all species here to use to develop biological weapons. If we learn to communicate with plants, they might tell us that, along with that communication also allowing us to better understand how to activate their natural defences to protect them against predators & so increase crop yields, how to know when our house plant needs watering before it dies & so on & so on. There's definitely advantages to be had by increasing our understanding & communication abilities with plants, dolphins, octopus etc etc & in the case of an alien invasion, that might be the deciding factor in if we get advance knowledge & have any chance at all or not (although even then, like your video says, highly unlikely we have a chance - unless contact is to help another species & that species tells the aliens humans are good & don't hurt them)
I always believe what government say. They don't lie anymore.
" Muddling through " is probably the best, historically, and the least likely to be anticipated " strategy ".
looking at world-wide record-high temperatures, flood, and political dramas etc etc, this discussion of different gloom and doom is so refreshing. lol.
hopefully all governments can work together at some point, and come up with a plan on how to delay and hide.
interesting discussion though. just subscribed to this channel.
The two statements at 1:31 and 2:14 summarize it very well. Besides, if there are Aliens who know about us and may reach earth I would guess that they would set up a quarantine zone around our solar system with some dire warnings to keep as far away of the human species as possible anyway.
Now how to include a link to the video about the government's zombie plan 🤔😅
Also didn't mention that the scientist behind Project Bluebook (who came up with the swamp gas nonsense) went from skeptic to believer, and went on studying UFO sightings the rest of his life, being dissatisfied with the lack of desire of the government to continue looking into the unexplainable stuff.
