If alex jones turns out to be right about the lizard alien doppleganger-scarecrows I'm going to have an aneurysm.
I dunno, ever seen kenneth copeland?
We prefer the name "reptoids".
With the idiocy exhibited by people lately I'm pretty sure I've had at least a few hundred aneurysms.
He was right about the gay frogs. Have you seen that transvestite researcher who pretty much confirmed his hilarious gay frogs meltdown was not based on unfounded claims.
Alex Jones doent believe in that. Youre thinking David Icke
Giant towering funguses? Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri gets it right again!
search mycelium armillaria
Also search for prototaxites. They were 8 meter tall fungi from the Devonian age
This is Fantastic topic. What would have happened if the fungal lifeforms stayed dominant?
Search for Roblox it's pretty fun
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri did always have very pragmatic, "hard sci-fi" feel. Damn, the nostalgia, I know my next game purchase.
Sir, you have rekindled that childish curiosity I’ve had about the cosmos since I was a young kid. I thank you for the mind boggling podcasts and brain bending questions that you raise. Please keep the content coming for as long as possible. Thanks again!!
Have u watched Dr kipping's cool world videos, there are no alien lifeforms!
Huzzah!
Here Here! Well said 🙂
I too love the interestint, weird and unknown aspects of this amazing universe in which we liiiiiiiiiiive
One of my favorite channels on TH-cam. I love the content. And, your calm voice makes the world's stresses just go away as I listen to my favorite topics and subjects.
fapfapfapfapfap
Can you do an episode on the mystery of consciousness ? I know that might be straying from your usual topic but I'd love to hear your views on it.
Very probable at some point.
@@JohnMichaelGodier my man you should try and get on Joe Rogan or lexs podcast. I bet you could get it
@@JohnMichaelGodier awesome! I wanted to see this as well
That would be quite interesting indeed
@@JohnMichaelGodier you just made someone’s day…..maybe that person is me.
Ah, unicorns and giant fungi… that’s what I live for! Thank you, John. You make my brain happy!
John von Neumann's wiki page is by far the most impressive that I've ever read!
I had a dream where I found myself thousands of miles away from home with no money at all and no way to get back home except to walk. And in that dream I clearly remember saying to myself that this has to be a dream, thats the only explanation why I am in such a predicament. I looked all around the environment looking for anything that would reveal I was in a dream but after finding northing I was convinced that I had really screwed up. . . And then I woke up, in my bed, in my home, safe and sound.
But, in the following days, I really did have my doubts about reality.
I have had super realistic dreams too. Not long ago I dreamed that I was married to an old girlfriend of mine. We were living in a beautiful home by a lake. I remember walking outside when I realized that my ex was married to someone else so this had to be a dream. I puzzled over it and then looked around like you did to see if anything was off. I could hear the gravel crunching under my feet in the drive-way, I could hear birds singing, I saw the sun reflecting off the lake and felt its warmth on my face. This HAS to be real I said to myself even though it didn't really make sense. Then I woke up in my bed. Frankly I was rather disappointed that it wasn't real. My ex girlfriend was a hottie and that home was pretty sweet! If virtual reality was real I don't think I would ever leave! LOL!
There's keys to making dreams more lucid and self-aware though, no matter how realistic they get. Consider that you likely get cues in your dreams telling you when to wake up to use the toilet. That is just you, reminding yourself that "If I see THIS, that's what it means and I should wake up," or whatnot. You can train your unconscious mind to have other cues that do other things. :)
You were in the Metaverse LOL
The thumbnail looks cool!
Can't wait to watch this latter.
You've been really rocking the JMG channel lately.
Thank you!
Beautiful graphics John Michael. Free sci fi concept of the day: neutrino radiation is greater than photonic. A massive "cosmic neutrino background" was released less than a second after the BB. Supernovae also release much more neutrino power than photonic. Perhaps a gigantic lifeform, planetsized or larger, developed ways to "see" neutrino flux. Perhaps an "eye" detector made of liquid xenon.
Mutations are random, but evolution follows a logical path. There needs to be some advantage gained for development to lead in a particular direction. What advantage could there possibly be to “seeing” neutrinos?!?
I can't recall ever dreaming of unicorns, so I'm pretty sure I'm not a replicant, at least.
The female mind 'dreams' of Unicorns. 😘 💖
He was referring to "Blade Runner", you pervert! 😉😋🤣
Rachel was adamant that _she_ wasn’t a replicant either.
@@lilblackduc7312 _Anyone_ can dream of unicorns ... after they’ve read about them or seen an image of them. Of course, some female minds replay such images more often than others, but the explanation is _far_ from magical.
You know what's really scary? If our past experiences are any indication, aliens, their culture, technology, outlook and goals will be far stranger, more bizarre and unsettling than we have imagined, of even could imagine.
"I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit."
You are spot-on. Especially extra-dimensional things. Bad nightmare juju. Thanks for the dream fuel.
Dissagree. We all had to climb up the same ladder.
And you just solved the fermi paradox. The answer to, "where are all the aliens?" Is, we have no idea what to look for, so we have no way of knowing. Dyson spheres and other speculative mega structures will probably look like flying cars, robot butlers in the far future.
Where are all the aliens? Sitting at home playing with their virtual reality devices and never leaving their home worlds. Maybe that's the solution to the Fermi paradox.
👉Positive proof of the "Theory of Evolution" is, primates (monkeys, orangutans, apes) ALL evolved from Socialist Liberal Democrats.🤡 🤪 😜 🤪 😁 😂 🤣
This content brings up some interesting possible Fermi paradox solutions. Any alien civilization advanced enough is not in fact leaving their home planet and is exploring virtually from the comfort of their own home. Possibly some of them have sent out probes, but they are either cloaked and undetectable, or are disguised as asteroids, rocks, or other space debris and are indistinguishable from common natural objects floating around in space, at least so with our current technology.
Consider that if you're brain is being fed stimulus from a computer, then even if you wouldn't choose to live in a VR environment, the system could feed you data telling you that you aren't living in a VR environment and you would have no way of knowing the difference. And if they could manipulate memory, they could put you in a VR environment against your will, then simply erase the memory of doing so.
How's *that* for a spooky October concept?
If they can manipulate memory, most of what you perceive as yourself is whatever they create.
It's also much, much easier to put you into the virtual reality while unconscious than fiddle with someone's memory.
Lol thats what I called "the false matrix" theory.
Uh, yeah, that exactly like the Simulation Hypothesis that’s been really popular for quite a while now. You probably picked up the concept subconsciously from somewhere (it’s everywhere) and mistook it for an original thought.
Start with this one...fall asleep to Event...all is good
Have a good night.
This one, well the last half anyway, was definitely one that I have thought about many times over the years. Another great contemplative video John. Well done.
JMG is one of the best minds of today, if only more people were able to postulate the endless black seas of infinity the way this man does. Our earthly dramas of momentary emotional reaction would seem so boring. Our internal voices from unknown dimensions nagging at us from inside til our meatbodies flutter about trying to cope, how strange of a thing we are, our motives beyond survival are truly bizarre even to ourselves, we are cosmically insane light consciousness manifested materially through hallucinations we call comprehension. And we worry about our haircuts lol.
JMG out with the spooky videos again and trying to give me an existential crisis. Anyways love your content!
Alright! Love getting a notification from JMG!!! Keep up the good work, brother!!! 🌠
People contemplating deextinction tend to forget one major thing, that being that having the DNA of an animal and maybe a compatible extant animal to carry it to birth isn't nearly enough. All animals have myriads of microorganisms living in and on them, some of them very much essential for the host to survive. You don't just need Mammoth DNA, it might very well be that you'd need dozens of species of microbes from their stomachs, intestine, mouth, skin and so on to get a healthy mammoth.
Man, you blow my mind everytime I listen to you.
10:22 "How do you know what the purpose of existence is." Objection your honor I already don't know that existence has a purpose, and no clue what that even could mean. Gimme the goddamn unicorn!
Indeed. All of our evidence shows that WE exist due to random fluctuations in a possible multiverse. I exist. If there truly is some 'reason' then I have some questions. And nuttin has given any good answers. I'll just assume that beer is a good answer. Or maybe weed. Or maybe youtube. Oh, LSD and/or Mushrooms... Nah, I'll go back to reading good books...
Beautiful! The last hypothesis gave me a certain feeling of Déjà vu 🙃
History, evolution, exobiology, experience... one of your best episodes!
Favourite channel on TH-cam this and event horizon
Fascinating ideas indeed! Thanks, John!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
This video has reminded me of at least 4 sci-fi and horror b movies. The towering fungi; The Day of the Triffids, Attack of the Monolith Monsters, Matango. Brain in a jar; The Brain That Wouldn't Die.
You’re a hoot, love you’re thought provoking content!
What a title John!!
Anyone else getting reminded of that old surprisingly well-executed-yet-cursed fanfic "Friendship is Optimal"?
Just me? Probably for the best.
Thanks for the trip.
The ending of that video is what my wife would tell you is one of my core beliefs. Lol. Appreciate you being able to explain what I think better then I am able to articulate these days.
Great video again! I'd love an update video on UAPs.
Beautiful content keep it up
.... in which we liiiiiiiiiive.
You're fully embracing this and I love it. ❤
Great....now I have to question everything. Thanks John?
Great video!!
"rent a nightmare" 😎 you know it's prime JMG spooky season when you hear sentences such as that
Thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks
Happy Thanksgiving from Canada!
I'm Thankful for the hard work you do and how much I enjoy it. ❤
That thumbnail is god tier
Good 1 John 👍
The title and thumbnail alone drew me in like a magnet
Bro I love listening and watching this content, good f@#$ing Job
Video’s released on both channels? Nice!
After, watching this JMG vid, it sounds like we best start work on the ‘Bobiverse’, in the which case I nominate JMG as the ‘Bob’ analog : )
You are a gift to man kind. Thank you for doing what you do.
I learned that "trudge" means "walk with purpose" - so thanks for helping me trudge through all the BS in this field of study. Like hip-boots in a swamp. You and some of your peers are real teachers.
(Just don't get cocky, kid...)
paying for a nightmare?? fucc no buddy!! i love these videos mr Godier pls continue at your leisure, but continue :)
Make those identical spies so that they aren't even consciously aware they are spies, or aliens at all.
I think our best bet on manned interstellar travel is actually waiting till we are something like a type 1 civilization. Because if we wait we would be able to get places faster than if we sent them sooner.
The ship sent later would catch up and surpass a ship sent sooner.
At that point though, wait til you're a Type 4, because then you'll still get there sooner.
The difference is that a ship sent _now_ is actually sent. A ship sent tomorrow may never leave.
There is a Sci Fi book that uses that exact scenario.Sorry, don't recall the name or author.
Giant towering fungus? I read a book when I was a kid about a young boy who visits a planet named Barsoom which is covered by giant mushrooms and has adventures with the natives.
That would be the novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs.
@@JohnMichaelGodier Okay that got me thinking so I googled and what I read was actually a children's book called "Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet" by Eleanor Cameron. The planet in her story is actually a hidden moon of Earth called Barsidium. Obviously inspired by Burroughs' work.
This book is fantastic and one of my favorites as a kid. This is the first I’ve seen anyone besides me mention it
15th!! Thanks for the great content, JMG!
I never clicked a notification so fast what a title 😄👍
The aliens could just make us think our solar system is surrounded by a barrier of radioactive particles at 10,000 degrees kelvin.
I know you probably don't like this but hearing this high really kinda freaks you out. You get trapped in deep thought and start questioning your own existence then you feel like you're starting to fade away so you Freak Out
That whole scenario is nightmarish enough!
This reminds me of Exception on Netflix. We use a star ship with a 3d printer to find a new planet to call home, but a solar flare during printing a crew member results in a miss-print. A life form. It's Good, if it does miss some important existentialist questions.
I love your videos
Maybe i watch too much DragonBallZ old Frieza ❤
7:50 Any interstellar species will by definition be "armed" as the drives of any interstellar ship can simply be pointed at your planet during deceleration.
Assuming Alcubierre's drive is the only way to do it, sure. :)
If I'm someone's unicorn I would like to know why I was created with aches and pains. Thanks for the video John. 🤘
letsss goooooo 🔥🔥🔥
thanks for including Arthur C Clarke in this video his ideas and stories have inspired my own imagination.
i would love someone to explore the feasibility of his Ice Shield idea.
ie a cone of ice travelling in front of a fast moving spaceship and protecting it from micro meteorites.
as deflector dishes etc are probably a long way off unless sonic waves work at such high speeds...
Great thought experiment. I had the thought that if we integrated VR with realistic space exploration and taught a whole generation from the time they were kds they would never know the difference
Again, the solution to the Fermi paradox is that it is easier to upload a brain than it is to travel to the nearest star
Bumping this vid while I fill up for gas at the gas station! I got the gas station employees rockin’ out with this banger!🔥🔥 🤘
I had the idea that in the future video games would just be dreams you play when you go to sleep
Funny how much if this is integrated in eve online lore. Love it.
excellent
The poor soul using me as its sim navigator is surely asking itself "why did I pay so much to get stuck on game menu for so long"
This was discussed in Star Trek Deep Space 9 describing shapeshifters and in Star Trek Voyager - where species from fluidic space modified their biochemistry to look like copies of real humans.
some of my earliest memories (4-6) are of me thinking the world is fake imagination and i cannot wake up and i cannot remember what i actually am.
I've always distinguished between "soft sci-fi" and "hard sci-fi" by calling them "science fantasy" and "science fiction." There are also alternatives like "space opera" for science-fantasies.
It also makes sense linguistically. This is what Google says if you ask "fantasy vs. fiction:"
_"Fiction explores what is possible but not true, while fantasy explores what is impossible."_
One thing I almost never hear in the discussion of bringing back the mammoth is the lack of genetic diversity. Until we get a lot more DNA or the ability to write genetic code they won't last long because of inbreeding. This may be a useful exercise in increasing our knowledge but it won't be a kindness to the mammoths.
"...attempts to bring back the mammoth..."
Shows CG of dinosaurs.
Jack Horner theorized you could take the DNA of an emu and turn on certain genes and turn off other genes and get a Dinosaur.
Your comment about not using virtual reality I found interesting. As a student of art I came to realize all art is virtual reality. It's just not rendered in 3D. Good art in perspective has a 3D effect anyways. Have you ever looked at a painting when the eyes seemed to follow you from any angle you view it? Have you every looked at a painting of a scene and imagined yourself in it? Good art has this effect by 'tricks' the masters learned throughout the centuries.
John, have you listened to or read the Bobiverse books? They seem right up your alley.
I definitely identify as an aliens' online game hero unicorn warrior
Sounds like John re-read All Tomorrows shortly before making this.
Here's a hunch for what it's worth. Biological alien (exo-person) spies should be detectable. From what little we know of how human brains and lungs work, we know that human brains and lungs both depend on snippets of "micro RNA" to allow brains to manage complex memories and thoughts, and to allow lungs to adapt to changing environments. This is something that operates on a very basic, ribosome-driven level, and while it might not be unique to Earth, it might be low-percentage that any exo-person species would use micro RNA snippets exactly the same way we do. Even if the RNA base pairs are the same, an exo-person as human mimic that thinks differently and reacts differently to weather is going to leave behind different micro RNA through their mucous membranes, particularly if they get sick with colds, influenza or other viruses.
This might be detectable with the right kind of facial tissue, or a Kleenex test, in other words. :) Or at least as detectable as a novel strain of COVID-19 might be.
But then it goes hardmode when computers are involved. The second half of my hunch is that while biology can get as weird as evolution allows it to be, there might very well be only so many ways you can make a digital computer and/or an internet. And to the extent that their computers can do what ours do, that might very well mean that their computers can either be the same as ours or at least capable of emulating ours.
Maybe that's the real reason why you'd have a Von Neumann probe in someone else's star system. You wait until there's electronic Mass Media, estimate when the society you're watching is going to have digital internet from there, and set yourself up to be online in ways that "pass as normal" at every step of the way. Between that and being on a planet like Earth where the idea of passing as normal can change so much from culture to culture, and well, it's possible that the "they're already here" just means "they're on the internet being weird just like we are." This might not be so detectable.
Right on the money!
The music always makes me want to play Kerbal Space Program. Even though I can never build a proper Single Stage To Orbit vehicle.
Octopi have some very unique and interesting genetics. They likely were the smartest organisms for millions of years.
The opossum is fantastic.
Maybe. But as for the lungs.. not sure where you are going with that, but if you can do some sort of continuity of consciousness into an energy matrix or a virtual world, then.. Do you think that's air you're breathing?
Now im like super curious about human lungs and how they prevent living longer with life extension technology. I need to know!
Comment for the comment throne! Engagement for the engagement god!
I know you said you're going to mention it in a future video, but I'm curious about lungs being a possible limiter on life extension. If you can create artificial life, couldn't you just create a new clone body to transplant your brain into?
I think I might have cracked this by accident thinking of something else. Within the same person, from Earth or maybe not so much, both brains and lung tissues use snippets of "micro RNA" sequences. Brains do it to manage memory and concentration, lungs do it to adapt to changes in heat and humidity. Point is they probably have to be a close match, at least in the *age of the cells* that produce the micro RNA. Old lungs probably can't support a young brain or vice-versa.
Neural tissue is obviously the only limiting factor of any great concern. Everything else will eventually have a synthetic equivalent that’s easily substitutable. If you don’t believe in a spiritual component to humanity then the same would apply to your brain and consciousness. In terms of strictly organics, it’s unlikely that your consciousness could ever be “mapped across” to a cloned brain, and repair of your current one is far more feasible.
With a title like that, I had to click.
Slartibartfast: Adorable.
*thank you* - really interesting discussion of fascinating subjects. also bonus - THANK YOU!!!! re hard & soft sc-fi - had a 'discussion' on here recently (here being youtube) someone repeatedly stating that ALL science fiction *had* to be based on robust & 'real science" (and getting really nasty & personal because I didn't agree) - nice to be back among the sane again!
2:14 Here we are a year later and we now have mammoth meatballs being synthesized in a lab
I was seriously hoping to hear about a machine that produced unicorns.
and there had to be hugh cliffs beyond our comprehension for those big prehistoric birds to fly from ,some mountains must have split in half and fell into the oceans! thus teridactols I would love to go back into time to watch one fly!
Every time I read his name I hear Scarlet O'Hara's delicate southern voice in my head saying "mayke luv to mae, John Michael Go-dee-yay". Don't ask me why
Admittedly, that has been uttered before. But not by Scarlet O'hara.
The Salvation series by Peter F. Hamilton covers the 3d printed aliens living amongst us hypothesis.
Love you
Remember the game, "Spore" from some years back? It seemed like a neat idea but was a disappointment. My fantasy simulation would be a program with a full knowledge of which sequence of base pairs code for which traits. A simulation that allows the user to put DNA together like tinker toys to find out what you can come up with. We wouldn't be doing this in real life, of course, just in computer simulation. Wouldn't mind seeing something like this in my life time.
So basically a "Spore 10" concept where you start from a list of ALL possible RNA and DNA base pairs (not just the ones that work on Earth), pick 4, put them together and a) pray you don't get endless Frankfurter Anatomy, while b) also trying to walk the fine line between Superman Chemistry and Biogenic Explosives. =)))) I could get into it, but you know there ARE gamers who would only play the thing to "create" and evolve the most extreme apex species imaginable.
JMG: Who wants a unicorn chasing them around?
*Rick Deckard's odd dream sequence has entered the chat*
Still, it's kinda interesting to consider an advanced alien species basically using a Wizard of Oz approach to get other up and coming civilizations to leave them alone.
Oooo, pipin’ hot JMG right at bedtime 🎉
