difficult to understand why we constantly look for signs of life bound by the rules of earth. there are still creatures in the deep sea we dont fully understand so why would we make assumptions about what life requires on another planet?
What would you suggest? One needs to start somewhere with what we know to explore and delve into the unknown. It’s not like we as a collective species are working on one theory of what life is. What makes you so sure it has to be different from our makeup? It’s all questions and having an open mind is important when it comes to science
@@FreerYourMind27 This is not the point, I AM not arguing, I totally agree with your framing, as it makes sense, I am playing the "devils advocate". This thread has to be on a call, or on Twitter spaces, I think we'd be more on the same page than on here.
Actually it is very easy to understand it if you serach for: They Live 4D and try to figure out first why are humans here clueless about their own life creation and why the "aliens" are quite responsable for our mind manipulation. Forget about the creatures in the deep sea and concentrate on your own. That is the best place to start an investigation that will lead you to the truth.
If alien life exists who's to say they've made it into space? And who's to say they've made it to our solar system? Also, the issue of timing matters. If some alien race had made it into space travel, maybe it was 100 million years ago, and they've been extinct since then. The universe is huge, and time makes a world of difference.
Sorry, But It's Mathematically Impossible due the The Number of Galaxys and stars, We are the Only planet with Life, Just because we Can't see or Quantify doesn't mean that didn't exist, Its a Stupid dilemma, Try to Imagine this:, if you put a Tshirt sized fishing web into the Ocean. What's the Chance of Catching a Fish ? our technology and Science are a tiny t-shirt sized fishing web, the the Cosmos we know and we don't know, are this Ocean, and we just started throwing the Fishing
Just a quick question, could there be life somewhere out there that doesn't necessarily conform to the same rules as here like they could survive say extreme temperatures or breath something different than oxygen? Always have wondered that and we are looking at the wrong sign's, just because it happened here doesn't mean it happened the same somewhere else.
Your correct, silica life is something looked into, we are carbon base, we are looking for everything and I believe it's based on the Fermi paradox and the Drake equation, as noted
I dont think that is possible. Cause you cant break law of phisics. Any life form needs oxygen. Yes, they can adapt and live in crazy enviorement, but still they need to breathe something. Same as travel in time or as fast as light is impossible. Cause if that would be possible, there already would be advanced life forms visiting us. Cause many planets are millions of years ahead of us more advanced but still cant reach us.
@@lauris5275 It's not breaking the law of physics. It's developing what we know of the law of physics. There's life out there, 100%. I don't believe oxygen is a must for life out there. That's just what WE know. See how many rules have been edited because along the way we find out new things. There's no doubt that what we - as humans - need to live - is not alfa omega for others.
@@BackyardMotivation We cannot say “There is life out there, 100%.” Perhaps it’s probable, but there isn’t certainty until physical evidence exists and/or it’s been tested and proven.
I've said it before, but I believe intelligent life is out there and fairly common. Good, evil, you name it. IF we could go looking for it, we would eventually find it. The kicker is, using species on our own planet as an example, there are just so many potential pitfalls that could spell doom that only a very few species ever make it to the point of Interstellar travel. Just doesn't happen.
Don’t worry bro you’ll know in your lifetime,slowly governments around the world are disclosing the matter of UFOs specially US Gov, and if you don’t believe that, the JWSP is so powerful that I’m sure it will find something out there.
One of the issues is that the vast majority of exoplanets that we have found orbit red dwarves. Scientists estimate that 75% of stars in the Milky Way are red dwarves. The likelihood of life around a red dwarf is considerably less than other types of stars because any planet in the goldilocks area is most likely going to be tidally locked since it is so close to the star. It's unlikely that tidally locked stars develop life. Additionally, since stellar activity of red dwarves is so volatile close to such a planet, that's a second reason for no life there. So, we have maybe 60% of the galaxy (core portion not in the arms) with too much radiation for life and 75% of the rest of the galaxy being red dwarves. That eliminates 90% of stars from consideration at all from just two factors. And there are quite a few other factors: too much gravity, not enough gravity, too hot, too cold, orbit too eccentric or elliptical, no atmosphere or ocean, bombarded by too many asteroids, etc. The universe is a very hostile place and as can be seen with climate change, even where life flourishes, it can disappear quick too.
hopefully one day humans, or an advanced version of us, will out aside their differences and work together to explore more of this universe we are a part of
We humans are existing only because the dinosaurs were exterminated incidentally. There will be life somewhere else for sure, but not as intelligent as we are, dominating a whole planet.
@@stevenhoman2253 what do you mean? When it comes to probabilities he is right, with how vast just our known universe it, it's just about statistically impossible for there not to be other forms of life in it
Wrong assumption bro..... search for: They Live 4D and see how you can see their crafts during daytime sharp and clear with just your phone plus a little device. But don't try contact please..... they are not friendly at all.
I feel like the problem on why we don’t see signs of life when searching thousands of habitual planets is that we are basing our guidance on what life On Earth requires. Because of this we may have potentially missed out on seeing life as it is on that particular planet that we over looked. But then again, even if we decided to based life on the most abundant element on that particular planet in question, how do we know life exist and is either made of the composition or require the completion to exist? A drone or probe physically there or a extremely powerful peering telescope would be the only viable solution. We can’t without physical evidence.
@@MrJedza Actually, scientists look for a variety of chemical compositions including ones for theoretical life when examining the chemical makeup of an exoplanet atmosphere. Brilliant scientists are nerds. They've already thought of nearly everything that we can think of when it comes to science. I agree, though, that we need to send probes out if we want more answers. Peering at various frequences of light is only going to give us some subset of answers. The problem with probes is the length of time needed to get them out there.
@@darlenesmith5690 He is talking about the actual physical makeup of any possible life that we find. Not the composition of their atmospheres. The most abundant and most reactive element in existence is carbon which is what we are made of yet our atmosphere is full of different gases.
@@danieldewilson Except he was responding to the original poster who was talking about searching for alien life. That's the topic of this thread. Since we cannot determine the actual physical makeup of any possible life forms, we have to take educated guesses based on what we can observe. The only thing that we can do is extrapolate potential life off of potential atmospheric gases (or oceanic liquids) and from there, (eventually when they are fast enough) send probes to solar systems that have the potential for life. And the only way to determine unknown types of life is to calculate natural gaseous (or liquid) byproducts from potential carbon or silicon chemical reactions, even ones that do not correspond to life here on Earth. It's extremely unlikely that any other atoms would be able to form the complexities of life and hence, other chemical reactions will most likely be normal chemical reactions based on the abundance of different chemicals, the amount of heat, and the amount of atmospheric pressure. Carbon is also not the most abundant element in existence. Hydrogen is (although not on Earth). Abundance in order is: Hydrogen, Helium, Oxygen, and Carbon in the Milky Way. Hence, Carbon Oxygen Hydrogen combinations of molecules are the most likely for life (Helium is inert). Also, flourine is the most reactive nonmetal, caesium is the most reactive metal, not carbon.
"How Can We Find Them?" that would assume that we can find them but they haven't found us? If they have found us, and more so been here, then we are already way behind the game.
I've heard some disagreeable people say that Tyson is only an educational physics, and yet here is is , answering the difficult questions we all want to know by his own wits. So he is objectively a great physicist

What about the question, "Did they already find us, but we are to dumb to understand?" We humans are so presumptuous as much as we are ignorant, the more of one the more of the other.
@@danielekirylo- I believe we’ve already been detected, and observed. Despite the mathematical rarity of cognition being extremely evolved in a species. In my opinion, we humans are “new kids on the block” as far as intelligent life. Others have either collapsed on themselves. Or surpassed us altogether. _---But another, scarrier solution to Fermi's paradox is that intelligent life reaches a point at which it cannot sustain itself because it has created an overly complex society without adequate sapience to guide further development. Indeed, Drake's equation includes an estimate of how many civilizations might actually succumb to their own cleverness. What if the answer were ‘most’? Is this the possible fate of humanity on this planet? Put very simply, what if we are too clever for our own good?_
Chances are the milkyway has another planet like earth. Probability is its location is in a spiral arm about the same distance from the black hole as earth. Conditions going in closer to the black hole are bound to get unlivable with extreme heat. Thus should be way more fun than when captain Cook sailed into Hawaiian Island on board his space rocket resolution
The milky way itself is so huge, I personally think it has many planets with life forms. The zeta reticuli star system is only about 34 light years away and supposedly that's where the grey aliens live. Look it up
I always find it funny, that in movies, very oddly formed aliens arrive in very sophisticated, technically complicated space ships, that their bodies could obviously not have constructed.
With such advance tech we will probably be on the same path and have AI robots build everything for us, or we will end up being the robots or worst case robots taking over!
@Blue Magic But how would they develop and use the tools to graduate to the point where they could make robots? Have you ever seen a squid use a hammer and chisel?
Who's to say aliens aint walking among us now. I would assume an advanced humanoid or civilization would have the technology to make hybrid humans with their own race..reptilians supposedly can shape shift into humans, who knows.
With the numbers we're talking about, there has to have been a civilization at some point across the universe who did evolve "intelligence" and were able to create interstellar or perhaps even intergalactic probes which are "unmanned" and traveling around in the same search we're undertaking: looking for other intelligent life or even any other life, intelligent or not. It's not realistic to imagine that any lifeforms which use oxygen like we do to survive would be able to travel on interstellar scales. The ideas of generational ships or colonies in space are so far fetched and as lonely as it makes a lot of us feel, the idea that a ship of aliens is flying around anywhere is crazy to me. lol
Search for: They Live 4D and get crazy because actually you can see their crafts sharp and clear with your smart phone plus a little device..... Try it. They are here.
It may seem impossible to us today to travel at or above the speed of light to get around our galaxy or to other galaxies, but is it any less conceivable than it would have been to people living 500 years ago that one day we'd be able to fly from New York to London in under 3 hours at supersonic speed? Technically it's now possible to use orbital rockets to go anywhere on the planet in under 90min. I don't think we've stopped progressing.
Unless you bring Quantum Technology and Ai Technology into the equation. You would have a Super intelligent Sentient being/s controlled in superior ways we could not comprehend.....they would be able to mine exotic materials from both planets and asteroids.... create new materials..and have answers to how they cross the universe with ease.
Reading the comments here is like sitting in Denny's at 3am. Every fucking goofball ever shows up with their perpetual motion machine plans written on a napkin and want to share it with you.
Thank you Neil for another wonderful and excellent video. I believe that we shall have the answer to this wonderful question; ARE WE ALONE OR ARE WE ONLY ONE OF MANY CIVILIZATIONS IN OUR GALAXY ??? Again, ... THANK YOU !!! 👽👽👽
Great video! Suppose extraterrestrial beings are more glorious, intelligent and beautiful than us. Why are they always portrayed as ugly, creepy scary? There is much beauty in the cosmos. Just stand anywhere and look around 360 degrees.
Beauty is an abstract concept, what you perceive as beautiful is a relative concept. A she toad is beautiful to a he toad, but not beautiful to most humans.
Finally found someone who has the same mindset on that matter. I watched the movie Arrival several months ago and it was heart breaking for me to see that those wise beings of that kind were portrayed ugly and even scary. First of all why would beings of such nature try to scar us?
@@mithunvarma5181 It's not that aliens would be trying to scare us, it's that by definition, they are alien. The concept of two arms, two legs, and a head are very human-centric / Earth-centric models. Chances are that intelligent aliens are vastly different. They'll still have manipulative limbs, some type of brain, mobility, and sensory organs, but they won't be like us. Just imagine how scary and nasty appearing a tardigrade the size of a person would be and that's a creature from out planet.
I think they have contemplated on finding us and are wise enough not to set their foot here. If I was them I also wouldn't visit this dump of a planet, I mean just look at social media.
We assume that they could get whipped out before we find them yet the dinosaurs lived for so long. I think we can both agree that once you reach a certain level of technological advancement that many of the potential factors that could cause an extinction start to be be ruled out. We are not to far from learning how to block any incoming asteroids from striking out planet.
We don't have a great track record of when we meet new intelligent societys/Tribes/People. What would be in place to protect them against us,If we are the technology advanced ones and they have large natural resources we want?
If we can travel to other planets, we won't need their natural resources. Everything we use can be easily found in space. What actually might be the biggest natural resource is a functioning ecosystem and land to inhabit - with oxygen and atmosphere, biology etc. Something we could use to our advantage or aliens could use to theirs. Simply using advanced technology to edit dna and our/their immune system - could make us or them immune to diseases and compatible with life there. This to me is the reason why you might want to wipe out an advanced civilization. Land, oxygen, atmosphere, correct gravity/pressures and an ecosystem. Not resources like metal ore, water etc.
I hope when the time comes to meet extra terrestrial beings that we are the 'tribes people' who get to be put on cages. I think wildlife and nature will be very grateful to those aliens.
I think you're worried for nothing. Mankind will have destroyed itself a long time before we ever can to hope to make contact with alien life. That has also a far bigger chance to self-explode than to ever meet alien life.
We are not alone, this is common sense When we were born into this world, as sentient human beings we were among many living organisms e.g ants, lizards, fish, bacteria my god so much life. This observation and experience alone has convinced there is life out there in the universe.
@ ~10:02 Neil mistakingly said the ONLY reason we have oxygen is because plant life is constantly making oxygen. That's not true because the ONLY thing that can make oxygen is a star. Plants are constantly separating oxygen from carbon dioxide molecules (CO2). Plants use the carbon and exhale oxygen as waste to them. Thank you very much, plant life 😊 😀. We get to breathe 😁...
while scientists are scouring for planets for life signatures, i was always intrigued by possibility of life on stars itself. we can't rule out that there might be complex structures swimming on on the molten whatever on the stars, consuming (feeding) stuff , replicating (reproducing) itself etc
I feel 100% confident there's life out there. I just hope earth never gets in there way like ants getting in our ways in our daily life's and we eliminate them without even knowing we are walking on them killing them instantly walking on sidewalk or anywhere really

Why hasnt anyone provided hard evidence including photos? Science isnt about feelings and hearsay but empirical evidence.

He wrote the HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy about Arthur Dent who just before the Earth is detonated, is taken into outer space by his friend Ford Prefect (he masquerades with this name under the wrongful assumption that the most dominant life form on Earth was a Ford Prefect and would therefore blend in quickly.

"How?" First ask, what they want? Because, they still want what they've always wanted. Yet, they continue to do what got them in trouble in the first place? If they have a way out, that path lies where it always lay. And working with the enemy only seals their fate. A fate which is rapidly approaching. If they thought the previous six-thousand years was painful, how much worse what's coming? They asked for help once; for mercy... and for intercession. It didn't work then. But who knows? Kind'a surprised they haven't seemed to have learned a thing in seven-thousand years? One thing's certain, working with the enemy won't get them what they so badly want.
@@polychoron - Ahhh the background, of course... Seven-thousand years ago, two-hundred "aliens" landed on Mount Herman in Syria as recorded in the Torah (Bible, for Christian readers). But there are even older ancient books that detail alien arrival and goings-ons thereafter. "Book of Enoch," "Book of Jasher" and the "Epic of Gilgamesh" are all instructive on the subject. The first two are referenced in the Torah/Bible itself and portions were found in the Dead-Sea-Scrolls. The third is a pagan/gentile book. Four independent ancient texts describe what's going on, yet our modern world stumbles around as if they were never written? Or they are to be discounted for some reason? Religious folks can't admit what their own books tell them and wokesters act as if the pages burn their eyes? But rest assured, the ancient texts tell the tale. Notice how many cultural-leaders struggle toward the big reveal? Tyson's not the only credible source seeming to stumble toward revealing "aliens?" Military's releasing more-and-more; and look at Tucker Carlson's pursuit of the "alien" story on his prime-time news show? After reading those four books, they wouldn't be so anxious to embrace/reveal "aliens." Because those aliens already brought destruction once and they are on-track to do it again.
@@polychoron - Quotes are because none of the ancient texts call them aliens, even though aspects certainly fit our modern description. Torah/Bible calls them "Son's of God" (SoG's), while Book-of-Enoch calls them "Watchers." SoG's/Watchers/aliens shared enough DNA to mate with humans, so while they did descend from the heavens, how "alien" can they really be? "Alien" conveys a modern connotation. For example, Tyson and others assume aliens travelled recently and have the ability to return to their own realm? They do not. While they master technology, wherever they originally came from, they can not return. And returning is their foremost desire.
@@polychoron - "Can we help them return?" Their only chance is to beg for human assistance. Here's the problem: they were condemned for several reasons; 1) They left their post. If one leaves their post in the Army, it's a firing-squad-offense. 2) They took an oath and so far stuck to it, and they put that oath over their commander's orders. 3) They corrupted the bloodlines of every human on the planet (except one human family) through genetic (DNA) modification. 4) They taught wickedness to humans. 5) They corrupted the whole earth, they changed animal DNA, mixed species of plant and animal, killed the trees and generally ruined the commander's training-ground (earth). The earth was flooded to rid corruption. The "aliens" were chained under ice and mud until recently. Six-thousand years they were chained. Ancient texts tell of another species from whence they came. Tens of thousands are making a similar mess in their first-estate (wherever it is they are from). The commander's about to boot them down to earth. So while the two-hundred aliens currently plaguing earth seek to go back, the commander's cleaning house and isn't likely to look favorably upon a human request to take this crop of troublemakers back? Especially when they continue to pull the exact same shenanigans that earned them six-thousand years in chains. Yet a human request is "alien's" only hope? Because the commander won't hear their "alien" pleas; the commander only listens to humans. Is it really in our human interest to help the "aliens?" After all, they view us as little more than cattle. Cattle to be experimented upon. Sure, they can be charming when they need something, but they gleefully exterminated all but the last eight people on earth and have already killed millions since being set free (by sweet-talking some stupid human). And what will the commander think of such a human who would show such poor judgement as to advocate for evil's geneticist? It'd be tantamount to advocating for Dr Mengele? We're here to learn judgement (not to judge, but to learn); what will we have learned if we stand-up for evil? Had the "aliens" changed their ways, maybe it'd be a different story? Maybe...?

Interesting that people say there must be other life out there. I’m a firm believer of the rare earth hypothesis because the earth and indeed our Solar System, are so unique. Especially with Jupiter out there protecting earth and having a nice sized moon stabilizing earth.
Believing in Aliens, when every mode of biological transport through motion is on earth. Any Alien would need thumbs to manipulate it's environment. So, no Aliens can exist because that is uniquely human. Any mode of transport would be Earthly also if it has legs, tentacles, etc; these are uniquely earthly features with biological functions for Earthly reasons.
@@jonathanjones2640 True, but if aliens do exist on other planets and they have a large enough brain. It’s possible they could have evolved with their own unique hands, limbs, claws or tentacles to be able to manipulate and adapt in their own environments. It’s a hard question, we have large brains and look what we have accomplished in such a short period of time. Dolphins, whales and elephants also have large brains, but you don’t see them building rocket ships and going to the moon. Dinosaurs, lived on earth for millions of years, so long that they should have been a type 3 civilization. But they had small brains, and they weren’t biologically engineered for building things.
@@ShawnGS300 aliens would not have brains. Brains are unique to humans. If am alien had a brain, then it would be humanoid and related to us and not an alien at all. Nor would an alien have limbs for our modes of transport. Nor would aliens be cellular or have "biology." Your projecting human and Earthly aesthetics onto aliens demonstrates that you understand aliens need certain features and modes to exist at all, however, all of these features and modes and variations of it have been created here on Earth. There are no aliens. Aliens would not have ecosystems. Ecosystems exist due to destruction. ...but why is that? What causes destruction? Why would life seek to collapse in on itself and come to nothing if it's "life?" Think, think, think... Don't justify what you believe. Try to dismantle it and prove it incorrect. Scientist create theories that have no basis in reality and we take it is fact. Let's not do that.

Well, 'Intelligent' alien life truly exists. Earthlings have become smart enough to put probes on another planet (Mars). If nothing else, 'Earthlings' are 'intelligent aliens'.
@@Baba-fy1jc Modern science claims that all matter is made up of quarks, electrons and interacting energy. Quarks, electrons and interacting energy that existed before we existed. So now, do 'we' even actually exist, OR do ONLY quarks, electrons and interacting energy exist as 'us' and all things? Are 'we' all just eternally existent existence eternally experiencing itself? Are 'we' all one with everything in existence? 'We' are one with the aliens and they with 'us', and yet, neither of us even actually exist, but existence exists as 'us', eternally?
Even if they found life somewhere the experts would doubt the evidence like they always do. There affraid of some thing being more significant then themselves. People like Neil love to hear themselves talk it seems.
I mean that's how scientists do science. Find something and do everything they can to prove it wrong, and if that fails then the conclusion is that it must be right.
Is it that we know they exist but we don't know where to find them or we not even sure if they do exist if that's the case where did we get their pictures from?
My friend and I were abducted in Mineral King Park, at 10,100ft elevation, in 1976. The ET was a friendly one, but it was still very traumatizing. Of course they do not send scientists, like Neil to the High Sierras, very often, to sky watch.
Scientists are not field explorers. This means unfortunately that they will never admit to someone such as yourself having encountered these aliens if true because it has not happened to them and more than likely never will so long as they work under the same scenario.
Can u explain more how it happened ? I was recently attacked as well but they hurt me , you think it's alien technology , they did some things I can't explain in words
Most people can’t comprehend just how big the universe is. Even when it’s put more into perspective it’s bigger than most people realize and we happen to live in a relatively empty region of our galaxy where there isn’t much outside of our solar system. Some might think that’s sad because finding life out there is less possible however that actually is a good thing for us because were less likely to have a collision with comets, asteroids, meteorites etc. now as for the 2 possibilities theory of life either being out there or not that’s false. There isn’t 2. There is only one and that happens to be that there IS other life forms out there including ones that are less advanced as well as more advanced than us. It’s a mathematical certainty that they are out there. However making contact with them unfortunately won’t be possible. Most likely ever in our short human life spans. As far as I’m concerned the only way we may be able to make contact with other civilizations is by making contact with parallel universes where our counterparts on parallel earths may have made contact already
Consider the following: Modern science claims that all matter is made up of quarks, electrons and interacting energy. Quarks, electrons and interacting energy that existed before we existed. So now, do 'we' even actually exist, OR do ONLY quarks, electrons and interacting energy exist as 'us' and all matter? Are 'we' all just eternally existent existence eternally experiencing itself?
Another take: (copy and paste from my files): Consider the following as well, even utilizing modern science: a. Modern science claims that energy cannot be created nor destroyed (a foundational principal of physics). Hence, energy is either eternally existent, or modern science is wrong. b. Modern science claims that we have new cells that come into existence inside of our body on a daily basis. This appears to be really true. So, since I have a body with energy and cells in it: * A part of me is eternally existent and a part of me is being born anew on a daily basis. * My current body extends from eternity past until now. * Rising to a higher level of thought, the 'now' that I exist in is 'eternal'. * I am currently existing in the 'eternal now'. * I am currently an actual eternally existent conscious entity existing in the eternal now. At least once in my life I reached being an actual eternally existent conscious entity existing in the eternal now. It's just that the current analysis indicates that it will not always be that way. But then again, as I don't know what I don't know, and even what I believe I know to be really true maybe isn't, as well as my mind making up stuff to fill in the gaps of it's perceived existence, along with other items too, I will be the first to admit that I could be wrong. Maybe once attained, I actually have an actual eternal conscious existence in some form throughout all of future eternity. Can I really ever prove to myself that I don't? And also: "IF" my TOE idea is correct, then: * I am currently an actual eternally existent conscious being of light ('gem' photons) existing in an environment entirely made of light ('gem' photons), existing in the eternal now. But then also: "IF" my definitions of Space Time and the TOE idea are correct, then: * Do "I" and all things even actually exist in the first place, OR does ONLY the 'gem' photons exist as all things? How could "I" ever die if "I" never actually existed in the first place but the eternally existent 'gem' photons were existing as "me"? And if the 'gem' photons decided to exist as "me" throughout all of future eternity, whom am "I" to argue with them since "I" don't even actually exist at all in the first place? If the 'gem' photons decided to exist as "me" throughout all of future eternity, they might only have to will it to be so. And note, this would apply to you too. * Added note: One just has to find out how to stay 'life coherent' throughout literally all of future eternity, otherwise, one would eventually de-cohere back from whence one came. One would die and go extinct for all the rest of future eternity. Such it appears is 'life' until life itself is no more. * Alternative: Find a way to keep the energy of our being in a coherent format so as to stay alive in some form to exist throughout all of future eternity, (future eternity being a really, really long time, with literally no end). Plus, one would have to live through many, many, many mass extinction events of all kinds. And then also, one would have an ever growing list of long lost loved ones who either could not, or chose not to, stay coherent themselves throughout all of future eternity. So that life itself has continued meaning and purpose to throughout all of future eternity. Otherwise, if no entity exists one day, then all of life itself would all be ultimately meaningless in the grandest scheme of things as no entity would be left to care about anything or anyone literally ever again throughout all the rest of future eternity. It would not even ultimately matter that any of us ever existed in the first place much less how we existed while we existed. Either at least one species survives throughout all of future eternity (if it's even actually possible to literally do), OR none do.
French philosopher quoted the saying "I think therefore I am". We humans think therefore we are. Can matter that is simple quarks, liquids and atoms and such make the same claim all by their single selves? NO! Therefore life is much more complex than what some scientists officially claim.
@@davidescobar5366 "I think therefore I am". Question: Where do thoughts actually come from? For example: Modern science claims that we have billions of brain cells with trillions of brain cell connections. How exactly does the energy signal 'know' where and when to start, what path to take, and where and when to stop to form a single coherent thought? An analogy I utilize is to spread a brain out like a map. Brain cells are represented by towns and cities, brain cell interconnections are represented by roads and highways, and the energy signal is represented by a vehicle traveling between one or more towns and/or cities. A coherent thought is a coherent trip. How exactly does the vehicle 'know' where and when to start, what path to take, and where and when to stop to form a single coherent trip? A higher intelligence has to tell it those things. But, that is a coherent 'trip' (thought) in and of itself. So, how exactly does our brain think a thought before it consciously thinks that thought? And if thoughts can be thought without consciously thinking thoughts, then what do we need to consciously think thoughts for? Just to consciously think thoughts that are already thought? What then of 'freewill' if we don't even consciously think our own thoughts? And then to further that situation, modern science claims that many different energy signals are starting at various places in the brain, take various pathways, and stop at different places, just to form a single coherent thought. (With the analogy, many vehicles are starting at various places on the map, taking various routes, and stopping at various places, all together forming a single coherent 'trip'.) And somehow it's all coordinated and can happen very quickly and very often. So, where do thoughts actually come from? Who and/or what is thinking the thoughts before I consciously think those thoughts? Do "I" even have freewill to even think these thoughts "I" am thinking about thoughts and type these thoughts to you here on this internet? Modern science also claims we have at least 3 brains: The early or reptilian brain, the mid brain, and the later more developed brain. So, are early parts of the brain thinking thoughts before the later parts of the brain consciously think those thoughts? If reptiles can think thoughts, then couldn't the early part of our brain think thoughts, and somehow pass those thoughts on to later more developed parts of later brains? Is our 'inner self' really just our reptilian brain thinking the thoughts that we think we are thinking? Are we all just later more evolved reptiles? Who don't even consciously think our own thoughts? If not, then how exactly does the brain think thoughts? Where exactly do thoughts originally come from so our brain can consciously think those thoughts? So "I" am thinking about thoughts, if it is even "I" thinking the thoughts that "I" believe "I" am thinking about thoughts. Or so "I" currently think, here again, if it is even "I" doing the thinking. "My" thinking is imploding as "I" think about thoughts. But then again, is it even 'me' that is imploding? I will have to think about it some more. Poof, I'm gone. Is just energy interacting with itself the lowest form of sub-consciousness? Is it even consciousness itself?
@@charlesbrightman4237 in the simplest scenario if energy is all that is needed to be as much an atom as a human then why is it that this energy breaks up a the end of life as we know it? Why can't energy quarks atoms or anything of the sort simply be pumped back into a conscious to keep it working indefinitely?
"Bio Markers" in the atmospheres of exoplanets are indeed what we are looking for and need, for the proof of life. Though Neil deGrasse is more skeptical of the existence of UAPs/UFOs than I can appreciate, he's still one of the brightest and most analytical minds in our scientific community and world. Conversations with Neil are always interesting and a pleasure.
Important question: How long will it be before the cost of putting things into space is reduced enough that we start seeing people launch hoax proof-of-alien-life objects into space?
Off topic perhaps as we shift to much less activity as the human form. Is there any research into the extrapolation’s about a morph in the evolutionary form of man accordingly in the focus of typical survival occupational practices? Thank you for reading.
I suspect that life occurs elsewhere in the universe but the vast vast majority of it would be far less advanced than humanity. High civilizations, if they exist at all would be exceedingly rare. Maybe one per thousand galaxies.
I think that calculation is flawed! think about it: in this moment someone a couple of hundred light years away could be looking at earth with their version of the JWST and jump up and down in exitement. they would, however, STILL have no Idea about humankind, because the first radio signals from earth are still a few hundret lightyears away from them - and the same goes for us! we all forget: when we look into space we look into the past. so, earth could (very likely!) already be discovered but humankind most likely isn`t. sure, we could find a planet 2000 light years away, that seems to harbour life but no signs of intelligent life - but that was the case 2000 years ago! maybe they are already sending radiosignals for 500 years. how should WE know? I would say, realisticly spoken, we couldl find SOME form of life every 100-200 lightyears away in average (beeing conservative here!), cosidering the size and density of the milky way and the average number of planets per star. oh, and one other important detail - radiowaves for intergalactic communication are most likely NOT the final solution...
Some forms of life might be abundant. Highly evolved species like us however, I would speculate to be exceedingly rare. Another problem may be the sustainability of advanced species over time. Advanced species leave the ecology and manipulate materials on a vast scale. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we are the only one in the milky way and that the vast majority of galaxies have produced none. But this is based on one assumption and that is that Darwin's assessment of evolution is random and not guided in any way by more mysterious mechanisms. If this is true it's a whole different ball game.
The flaw in basing evolution in Darwin's interpretation of it is that here on earth 99.99 percent or more of all living species do not "evolve" a noticeable intelligence other than survival traits. Animals, insects and even fish never develop advanced features us humans do like for example speech and writing skills. Not even the so called apes from which humans are said to have evolved from and of which some species have existed for longer than us humans have been here on earth. This means most life if any in the observable universe might not develop enough to communicate with us ever.
a thought.. could colossal asteroid or any space-object hit on earth thrust into space any of earth's plant' seeds or pollens or any parts that produces plants? would they survive outer space? would they be able to sprout, adapt, and survive on other planets they chance to land into? seems very unlikely but just what if...
there is sure life out there. But the distances are too long. We try to go to Mars, which is some 3 light minutes away and it takes approx nine months. The Voyagers we sent into space before 45 years are only 21 light hours away. Just to imagine how far a light year is when we speak about. We may get a signal from somewhere but we'll hardly have a contact of third kind.
would you like to make a contact of the third kind?.... I do not recomended it, but search for: They Live 4D and see how easy it might be once you know how to spot their crafts during daytime and at roof level. Try it.
Types of life so far: 1. Carbon base life bons easily but isn't resistant to extremes. 2. Silicone life is chemo synthetic and more resistant but doesn't bon well, and turns to stone if contact with oxygen. 3. Plasma base life is ionized gas of atmospheric chemistry of forms. 4. Synthetic, machine life. Life doesn't have to evolve, it can be made. Highly resistant to extremes and self replicating. 5. Divine life is instantaneous with unlimited abilities of gratification perplexing morphs and telekinesis. Yes life is abundant throughout the universal but ultra advanced intelligence life is rare. Primitive life is common.
There have been five known mass extinctions in Earth's history, which means life has had to boot up six times (the initial time, plus once after each extinction event). In six attempts, intelligent life has only arisen once. It's a very small sample size, but it's all we have to go on, and our small sample size suggests that there is less than a 20% chance of life developing into intelligent life. Maybe it's actually 1 in a million and we got lucky on attempt #6, maybe it's actually 1 out of 2 and we are a little behind the curve. I'd guess that the truth is somewhere between those two extremes. My point is that I believe that the odds are much better of us finding extraterrestrial bacteria than finding extraterrestrial humanoids.
I think the problem is we have only one frame of reference... If the dinosaurs didn't go extinct could of an intelligent life evolved from them ... Obviously that goes into star trek sci Fi , but it does make an interesting point. I think the biggest step is finding other planets with life first ... Now of course if we find signs of possible industry then yes that would be a bigger discovery, though if we find multiple planets with oxygen atmospheres then that alone would show earth like life in general is common ... The question would be of course how common is intelligence.. that might be a more difficult question to answer.
@@seancooney8799 I think you're spot on. Though I do not believe the dinosaurs were headed toward intelligence, simply because they had 165 million years to work with and from what I infer, they were not necessarily headed in that direction. In just 3 millions years or so, humans went from tree swinging primates to sending probes out to interstellar space. However, maybe in a less hostile solar system, they might have had billions of years to work with and could have eventually gotten there. I assume that our solar system is typical hostility though, so extinction level asteroids and comets can probably be expected in any star system.
@@Savage3OO6 More of a thought experiment, though in reality I can't say if dinosaurs we're heading to intelligence, just because it reality we don't know what caused that evolutionary jump ... Although I'm wondering if we aren't already seeing signs of that possibility now ... The octopus has been shown to be able to solve complex problems even though it's evolved from some of the earliest sea life ... So at what point does intelligence evolve and what circumstances facilitate that jump in evolution.
@@seancooney8799 Dinosaurs lived for over a billion years... humans have been around for tens of thousands of years only. It took a really long time for intelligent life to emerge, and that was after it had to restart several times.
ummm what ? Dinosaurs didn't live for a billion years ... Dinosaurs evolved from species who survived the great dying that was 260 million years ago ... Multi cellular life in general is to be theorized to have existed on earth for around 550 million years.
Neil, I have a question. Anyone who keeps up with science news must realize the estimated time frame since the big bang is close to 14 billion years. Well, 14 billion to us on earth. The universe is obviously still expanding but slowing down. One has to wonder if it will eventually start to contract over billions more, until it is so small and condensed that it explodes again. Ok, my question is, do any Physicist believe or contend that this phenomenon has happened many times before?
OR….. the entire universe eventually gets sucked into a massive black holes over billions of years. Once all the mass in the universe is condense to a singularity (just like a black hole), the singularity will become so unstable that the Big Bang begins all over again. Physics breaks down at the beginning of the Big Bang, physics also breaks down past the even horizon of a black hole. That’s my belief.
Some say space is contracting towards a 4th dimensional singularity, I'm not certain about anything especially if it's accepted by the majority, like we're expanding, expanding into what?
@@Jack-r2v9b Nope, we are living on a 3D world and interlocked wit it there is a fourth dimension already. 3D cannot contract into a 4D. Search for: They Live 4D and learn more about it. A 3D planetary system remains 3D for ever.
Personally, if they are intelligent as the powers say then I understand why we have not met them. Why would we want to corrupt them with our hatefulness towards each other? I say they should stay smart and keep away from us until we can get our issues worked out and we show our intelligence and not our arrogance. All of the discussions on "intelligent" life are academic in nature. I am not a scientist, but I am a human being who sees what we are and what we have done, some great, but more much bad. I don't feel like meeting myself at times. All of the intellectuals, scientists, and philosophers, should get together and develop something that would benefit us in becoming better, put it into practice, then and only then would "intelligent" life might feel that we are worthy to meet them.
I perfectly agree and wonder at times why, in this huge galaxy let alone the universe, more intelligent alien creatures/species have not made contact. One answer that’s more logical than all others is that aliens of higher intelligence do not interfere with or influence species of lower intelligence. Let’s speculate for a second that we became a more technologically advanced species, and we can now live longer and travel in space faster than light. One day we come across a less evolved species, what would our reaction be? Land and take over their planet? Give them technology they can’t understand and that they will misuse? Take side with the ones who like us against those who don’t?… I think none of these options. We will study them very discreetly and without making any form of contact that would forever change the course of their history and we’d move away, letting them continue their own evolution. That’s also why I think, more advanced aliens have left us in peace, knowing too well that any contact with us will inevitably alter our destiny, most probably to the worse as some will use their technologies to fight other humans. It is only when we’ll become wiser, more just, certainly more peaceful, that advanced aliens will contact us.
All intellectuals, scientists and philosophers are quite dumbs when it comes to think about your good idea. Actually we carry a genetic gene from the"aliens", and that is the reason why our predominant part is bad. Search for: They Live 4D and try to find out what I mean by that.
This is all just weird he’s got a point though there’s no way human beings came from monkeys in different colors shapes and forms just saying I do feel like there’s a big piece of history that we’re missing that we still have not figured out yet because to be honest the truth is is we just popped up out of nowhere No two monkeys can create a whole race because in Braidwood be taken to a whole Nother level!So give that some thought I’m not the smartest person in the world but I’ve always felt no matter what I’ve learned about our history there’s always been a big piece missing and if we didn’t come from monkeys then how was the first child born it’s just all weird
At what point in history did monkeys decide to wear clothing to cover their genitals? Never! We humans are and have always been on a "league of our own" for lack of a better term.
In science they say we are about 99% DNA compatible with the monkey . But if You really give it some thought if we had evolved from monkeys then why do monkeys exist? What or whom did monkeys breed with in order for us to evolve and the original monkey DNA and race to continue undiluted.. because if we had “evolved” then the whole race of monkeys would not exist today only humans .. two different species would of needed to breed in order to create a whole new breed in itself .. if this makes sense 🤷🏻♀️
I have a question for someone smarter than me. Before a star goes supernova and turns into a blackhole why doesn't block light from getting to us. The way I understand it, the star has the same amount of gravity its just condensed into a smaller space. Because of the conservation of energy matter doesn't just disappear it just changes into a different state. So weather the star is millions of mile across or the size of our moon and has the same amount of gravity why doesn't it block light from getting to us?
The answer is very simple, because it changed into the 4th state of the matter. Search for They Live 4D and see how an alien craft right on front of you doesn't block light, but with your phone plus a little device you can see it sharp and clear blocking light.
Because all the matter in the star was volatile/burning before it collapsed. While burning it is much like a hot air balloon expanding. Once it stops burning all the left over matter condenses onto itself forming a black hole. In other words without any fuel to keep burning it just falls back into a singularity as science calls it..
An interesting thought for me is the possibility that the asteroid that took out the dinosaurs was launched by intelligent aliens for the very purpose of creating intelligent life on Earth.
No. Aliens did not launch anything. Us humans may or may not "evolve" concidering no other animal on the planet has evolved other that to what they are today which is animals. Science claims we are animals also so there is the reason why.
The statistical probability of extraterrestrial life is high - given the sheer number of observable stars: It's highly likely of one or more of those star systems hosts conditions - and planetary bodies - where life is likely to form. So, there are several interesting questions that come out of these suppositions: Does life exist similar to than that found on earth? Has that life evolved similarly to that of mankind, i.e. are they intelligent - developing capabilities such as flight and detectable radio waves? Will they - or do they - exist during the same span of time as us...? I am appreciative of those in the scientific community attempting to "tackle" these questions....
nickpetrillo All our attempts at rationalising the existence of life elsewhere is simply that....us trying to make things fit (with major biases) The stats re numbers fails as there is no way of determining many of our assumptions (like parts of the Drake Equation) We just don't have the data or evidence to claim one way or the other. It's a really interesting topic and one that we humans are naturally inclined to want answers to. In time we may find out but it's sad when scientists assert "life is certainly out there" when we don't know. In doing so they are failing in their role.
ya know... i've given this a lot of thought. and correct me if i'm wrong, but if you calculate the distance to the nearest star, its about an eight to ten year round trip for a speed of light radio signal to travel there, and a response sent back. the "wow" signal was received approximately eight years after we went to the moon. and blasted intelligent radio signals all over outer space. its just an observation of mine that maybe the "wow" signal was our return call from that alien world we're looking for. it took eight years to get a response because that star system is four light years away. which makes a certain amount of sense to my armature astrophysics way. when it comes to sending a signal that aliens life would understand, forget about detailed technical information of any sort. instead i would suggest music.. being the universal language, could be used specifically "Mary had a little lamb" because its a simple, data efficient pattern that, albeit it silly, has a good chance to be recognized as intelligent and not accidental. seems to me that's why Thomas Edison used it when first demonstrating his phonograph. perhaps alien life might know this and so the "wow" signal is actually a simple song. on a side note: a question for big brained people...if everything is inside the universe, what is the universe inside of? i think its inside another bigger universe, and that's inside another bigger universe and so on. limit undefined...eeeshe... my mind just went into infinity mode in four dimensions at once.
Many scientists initially believed that the heat and dust of the asteroid impact could have caused the extinction of dinosaurs. But now there is evidence that the massive volcanic eruptions in India, which occurred before the asteroid's impact, caused climate change that had already killed some groups of dinosaurs, also contributed to this. Frankly speaking to her, what happened in the past has still survived as a major undisclosed mystical event in the evolution of the earth.
Shinedown- Planet Zero If you've not yet listened to give it one. It's a beautifully written song, with thoughts on space and human society in it's current state.
Here on Earth exist animals that life spans exceed ours. An Intelligent Extraterrestrial civilization could have evolved past time because their life spans greatly exceeds ours, so while we’re looking at light years, they could care less about traveling these distances.
Yet these animals that have exceeded out lifespan have failed to evolve into nothing more than what they are - animals. Why are we any different if scientifically we are animals ourselves?
@@davidescobar5366 the only difference is we are able to destroy the natural balance of things including ourselves while all other animals would have continued to exist.... remember, with all our intelligence we can't survive without animals or plants, however, with us out of the picture, the world will continue to flourish. As for lifespans, our history has favored brains over lifespans, but that's not to say that evolution has not made another species evolve the other way around or with both.
@@PANADUCE speculating that life is as numerable as the countless stars and galaxies in the Universe that makes sense. Basing life as it is known to occur here on earth as a scientific model slash starting point then 99.99 percent of life on the planet never evolves past their most primitive savage or unconscious/unintelligent being. Reason I bring this up is that speculation is not the scientific method of doing things. In fact it is totally the opposite of true science in the purest sense of the word.
@@davidescobar5366 what else then can we go by? The most reasonable place to start is our own since Earth is a planet that went through the processes that other planets go through, is it accurate?....no, but, science is science because we speculate not despite of it.
Might be smart to ask if we really should find them. If they're anything like humans, and possess any monopoly on power compared to us, they will take anything they desire. Or invariably, we would do the same to them. You ever squish a bug crawling by, with no thought at all, or memory after? It's more than plausible that scenario would play out.
Its getting harder and harder to find intelligent life here on Earth.
Yep as long as people listen to this man.

difficult to understand why we constantly look for signs of life bound by the rules of earth. there are still creatures in the deep sea we dont fully understand so why would we make assumptions about what life requires on another planet?
We go on what we understand life to be, you are 1000x correct on the question logically, but we can only learn from what we know at the moment.
It's not really a matter of assumptions but of probability.
What would you suggest? One needs to start somewhere with what we know to explore and delve into the unknown. It’s not like we as a collective species are working on one theory of what life is. What makes you so sure it has to be different from our makeup? It’s all questions and having an open mind is important when it comes to science

Actually it is very easy to understand it if you serach for: They Live 4D and try to figure out first why are humans here clueless about their own life creation and why the "aliens" are quite responsable for our mind manipulation. Forget about the creatures in the deep sea and concentrate on your own. That is the best place to start an investigation that will lead you to the truth.
If alien life exists who's to say they've made it into space? And who's to say they've made it to our solar system? Also, the issue of timing matters. If some alien race had made it into space travel, maybe it was 100 million years ago, and they've been extinct since then. The universe is huge, and time makes a world of difference.

Always have wondered that and we are looking at the wrong sign's, just because it happened here doesn't mean it happened the same somewhere else.
Your correct, silica life is something looked into, we are carbon base, we are looking for everything and I believe it's based on the Fermi paradox and the Drake equation, as noted
I dont think that is possible. Cause you cant break law of phisics. Any life form needs oxygen. Yes, they can adapt and live in crazy enviorement, but still they need to breathe something. Same as travel in time or as fast as light is impossible. Cause if that would be possible, there already would be advanced life forms visiting us. Cause many planets are millions of years ahead of us more advanced but still cant reach us.

@@James-sp2iw Perhaps.
One of the issues is that the vast majority of exoplanets that we have found orbit red dwarves. Scientists estimate that 75% of stars in the Milky Way are red dwarves. The likelihood of life around a red dwarf is considerably less than other types of stars because any planet in the goldilocks area is most likely going to be tidally locked since it is so close to the star. It's unlikely that tidally locked stars develop life. Additionally, since stellar activity of red dwarves is so volatile close to such a planet, that's a second reason for no life there.
So, we have maybe 60% of the galaxy (core portion not in the arms) with too much radiation for life and 75% of the rest of the galaxy being red dwarves. That eliminates 90% of stars from consideration at all from just two factors. And there are quite a few other factors: too much gravity, not enough gravity, too hot, too cold, orbit too eccentric or elliptical, no atmosphere or ocean, bombarded by too many asteroids, etc. The universe is a very hostile place and as can be seen with climate change, even where life flourishes, it can disappear quick too.

I feel like the problem on why we don’t see signs of life when searching thousands of habitual planets is that we are basing our guidance on what life On Earth requires. Because of this we may have potentially missed out on seeing life as it is on that particular planet that we over looked.
But then again, even if we decided to based life on the most abundant element on that particular planet in question, how do we know life exist and is either made of the composition or require the completion to exist?
A drone or probe physically there or a extremely powerful peering telescope would be the only viable solution. We can’t without physical evidence.
Thats true what you say. We only base life on Oxygen and water. Who said Aliens live on Oxygen and who said they need water?
We have never even seen the surface of a planet outside our solar system. And with how carbon bonds so easily life most likely would be carbon based
@@MrJedza Actually, scientists look for a variety of chemical compositions including ones for theoretical life when examining the chemical makeup of an exoplanet atmosphere.
Brilliant scientists are nerds. They've already thought of nearly everything that we can think of when it comes to science.
I agree, though, that we need to send probes out if we want more answers. Peering at various frequences of light is only going to give us some subset of answers. The problem with probes is the length of time needed to get them out there.
@@darlenesmith5690 He is talking about the actual physical makeup of any possible life that we find. Not the composition of their atmospheres. The most abundant and most reactive element in existence is carbon which is what we are made of yet our atmosphere is full of different gases.
@@danieldewilson Except he was responding to the original poster who was talking about searching for alien life. That's the topic of this thread. Since we cannot determine the actual physical makeup of any possible life forms, we have to take educated guesses based on what we can observe.
The only thing that we can do is extrapolate potential life off of potential atmospheric gases (or oceanic liquids) and from there, (eventually when they are fast enough) send probes to solar systems that have the potential for life.
And the only way to determine unknown types of life is to calculate natural gaseous (or liquid) byproducts from potential carbon or silicon chemical reactions, even ones that do not correspond to life here on Earth. It's extremely unlikely that any other atoms would be able to form the complexities of life and hence, other chemical reactions will most likely be normal chemical reactions based on the abundance of different chemicals, the amount of heat, and the amount of atmospheric pressure.
Carbon is also not the most abundant element in existence. Hydrogen is (although not on Earth). Abundance in order is: Hydrogen, Helium, Oxygen, and Carbon in the Milky Way. Hence, Carbon Oxygen Hydrogen combinations of molecules are the most likely for life (Helium is inert). Also, flourine is the most reactive nonmetal, caesium is the most reactive metal, not carbon.

I think the first question that needs to be asked is, “should we find them?” Who is to say that they would be friendly? Are we truly ready?
What about the question, "Did they already find us, but we are to dumb to understand?"
We humans are so presumptuous as much as we are ignorant, the more of one the more of the other.
@@danielekirylo- I believe we’ve already been detected, and observed. Despite the mathematical rarity of cognition being extremely evolved in a species. In my opinion, we humans are “new kids on the block” as far as intelligent life. Others have either collapsed on themselves. Or surpassed us altogether.
_---But another, scarrier solution to Fermi's paradox is that intelligent life reaches a point at which it cannot sustain itself because it has created an overly complex society without adequate sapience to guide further development. Indeed, Drake's equation includes an estimate of how many civilizations might actually succumb to their own cleverness. What if the answer were ‘most’? Is this the possible fate of humanity on this planet? Put very simply, what if we are too clever for our own good?_
They've known of us for eons, &, they're not friendly.

Chances are the milkyway has another planet like earth. Probability is its location is in a spiral arm about the same distance from the black hole as earth. Conditions going in closer to the black hole are bound to get unlivable with extreme heat. Thus should be way more fun than when captain Cook sailed into Hawaiian Island on board his space rocket resolution
The milky way itself is so huge, I personally think it has many planets with life forms. The zeta reticuli star system is only about 34 light years away and supposedly that's where the grey aliens live. Look it up
One day we may find intelligent alien life out there.

I always find it funny, that in movies, very oddly formed aliens arrive in very sophisticated, technically complicated space ships, that their bodies could obviously not have constructed.
Of course not, do you think the Egyptians built the pyramids alone?
Lol, sophisticated and complex is accurate tho
Like War of the Worlds...
With such advance tech we will probably be on the same path and have AI robots build everything for us, or we will end up being the robots or worst case robots taking over!
@Blue Magic But how would they develop and use the tools to graduate to the point where they could make robots? Have you ever seen a squid use a hammer and chisel?
There is alien life around us but we cannot detect them. We are like bacteria on alien skin.
Who's to say aliens aint walking among us now. I would assume an advanced humanoid or civilization would have the technology to make hybrid humans with their own race..reptilians supposedly can shape shift into humans, who knows.
With the numbers we're talking about, there has to have been a civilization at some point across the universe who did evolve "intelligence" and were able to create interstellar or perhaps even intergalactic probes which are "unmanned" and traveling around in the same search we're undertaking: looking for other intelligent life or even any other life, intelligent or not. It's not realistic to imagine that any lifeforms which use oxygen like we do to survive would be able to travel on interstellar scales. The ideas of generational ships or colonies in space are so far fetched and as lonely as it makes a lot of us feel, the idea that a ship of aliens is flying around anywhere is crazy to me. lol

@@manuelconcepcion1230 what little device? i'm interested.
It may seem impossible to us today to travel at or above the speed of light to get around our galaxy or to other galaxies, but is it any less conceivable than it would have been to people living 500 years ago that one day we'd be able to fly from New York to London in under 3 hours at supersonic speed? Technically it's now possible to use orbital rockets to go anywhere on the planet in under 90min. I don't think we've stopped progressing.
@Ian Boelts you make a very valid point and thank you for this comment.
Unless you bring Quantum Technology and Ai Technology into the equation.

Suppose extraterrestrial beings are more glorious, intelligent and beautiful than us.
Why are they always portrayed as ugly, creepy scary?
There is much beauty in the cosmos. Just stand anywhere and look around 360 degrees.
Beauty is an abstract concept, what you perceive as beautiful is a relative concept. A she toad is beautiful to a he toad, but not beautiful to most humans.
Finally found someone who has the same mindset on that matter. I watched the movie Arrival several months ago and it was heart breaking for me to see that those wise beings of that kind were portrayed ugly and even scary. First of all why would beings of such nature try to scar us?
@@mithunvarma5181 It's not that aliens would be trying to scare us, it's that by definition, they are alien.
The concept of two arms, two legs, and a head are very human-centric / Earth-centric models. Chances are that intelligent aliens are vastly different. They'll still have manipulative limbs, some type of brain, mobility, and sensory organs, but they won't be like us.
Just imagine how scary and nasty appearing a tardigrade the size of a person would be and that's a creature from out planet.
We think to highly of ourselves. Why must we assume that we will find them and never ask what if they find us?
and that ties into why we are actually not intelligent like we believe we are, so in short because we are idiots

We don't have a great track record of when we meet new intelligent societys/Tribes/People.
What would be in place to protect them against us,If we are the technology advanced ones and they have large natural resources we want?
If we can travel to other planets, we won't need their natural resources. Everything we use can be easily found in space.
What actually might be the biggest natural resource is a functioning ecosystem and land to inhabit - with oxygen and atmosphere, biology etc. Something we could use to our advantage or aliens could use to theirs. Simply using advanced technology to edit dna and our/their immune system - could make us or them immune to diseases and compatible with life there.
This to me is the reason why you might want to wipe out an advanced civilization. Land, oxygen, atmosphere, correct gravity/pressures and an ecosystem. Not resources like metal ore, water etc.
Ha!
Nothing. We'll just take it.

@@onsokumaru4663 Right!? It would sure be our karma.
I think you're worried for nothing. Mankind will have destroyed itself a long time before we ever can to hope to make contact with alien life. That has also a far bigger chance to self-explode than to ever meet alien life.
We are not alone, this is common sense
When we were born into this world, as sentient human beings we were among many living organisms e.g ants, lizards, fish, bacteria my god so much life. This observation and experience alone has convinced there is life out there in the universe.
Of course there is life in the universe. . It's just to much universe for it to be not. . .

@ ~10:02 Neil mistakingly said the ONLY reason we have oxygen is because plant life is constantly making oxygen. That's not true because the ONLY thing that can make oxygen is a star.

Yes, we can rule that out. The temperature on the surface of stars ( at least 6000K ) is too hot for complex structures to exist.

"How?" First ask, what they want? Because, they still want what they've always wanted. Yet, they continue to do what got them in trouble in the first place? If they have a way out, that path lies where it always lay. And working with the enemy only seals their fate. A fate which is rapidly approaching. If they thought the previous six-thousand years was painful, how much worse what's coming? They asked for help once; for mercy... and for intercession. It didn't work then. But who knows? Kind'a surprised they haven't seemed to have learned a thing in seven-thousand years? One thing's certain, working with the enemy won't get them what they so badly want.
@@polychoron - Quote of the word "How" is from the title of this video. As in, "How can we find them?"
@@polychoron - Ahhh the background, of course... Seven-thousand years ago, two-hundred "aliens" landed on Mount Herman in Syria as recorded in the Torah (Bible, for Christian readers). But there are even older ancient books that detail alien arrival and goings-ons thereafter. "Book of Enoch," "Book of Jasher" and the "Epic of Gilgamesh" are all instructive on the subject. The first two are referenced in the Torah/Bible itself and portions were found in the Dead-Sea-Scrolls. The third is a pagan/gentile book.
Four independent ancient texts describe what's going on, yet our modern world stumbles around as if they were never written? Or they are to be discounted for some reason? Religious folks can't admit what their own books tell them and wokesters act as if the pages burn their eyes? But rest assured, the ancient texts tell the tale.
Notice how many cultural-leaders struggle toward the big reveal? Tyson's not the only credible source seeming to stumble toward revealing "aliens?" Military's releasing more-and-more; and look at Tucker Carlson's pursuit of the "alien" story on his prime-time news show? After reading those four books, they wouldn't be so anxious to embrace/reveal "aliens." Because those aliens already brought destruction once and they are on-track to do it again.
@@polychoron - Quotes are because none of the ancient texts call them aliens, even though aspects certainly fit our modern description. Torah/Bible calls them "Son's of God" (SoG's), while Book-of-Enoch calls them "Watchers." SoG's/Watchers/aliens shared enough DNA to mate with humans, so while they did descend from the heavens, how "alien" can they really be? "Alien" conveys a modern connotation. For example, Tyson and others assume aliens travelled recently and have the ability to return to their own realm? They do not. While they master technology, wherever they originally came from, they can not return. And returning is their foremost desire.
@@polychoron - "Can we help them return?" Their only chance is to beg for human assistance. Here's the problem: they were condemned for several reasons; 1) They left their post. If one leaves their post in the Army, it's a firing-squad-offense. 2) They took an oath and so far stuck to it, and they put that oath over their commander's orders. 3) They corrupted the bloodlines of every human on the planet (except one human family) through genetic (DNA) modification. 4) They taught wickedness to humans. 5) They corrupted the whole earth, they changed animal DNA, mixed species of plant and animal, killed the trees and generally ruined the commander's training-ground (earth).
The earth was flooded to rid corruption. The "aliens" were chained under ice and mud until recently. Six-thousand years they were chained.
Ancient texts tell of another species from whence they came. Tens of thousands are making a similar mess in their first-estate (wherever it is they are from). The commander's about to boot them down to earth. So while the two-hundred aliens currently plaguing earth seek to go back, the commander's cleaning house and isn't likely to look favorably upon a human request to take this crop of troublemakers back? Especially when they continue to pull the exact same shenanigans that earned them six-thousand years in chains. Yet a human request is "alien's" only hope? Because the commander won't hear their "alien" pleas; the commander only listens to humans.
Is it really in our human interest to help the "aliens?" After all, they view us as little more than cattle. Cattle to be experimented upon. Sure, they can be charming when they need something, but they gleefully exterminated all but the last eight people on earth and have already killed millions since being set free (by sweet-talking some stupid human). And what will the commander think of such a human who would show such poor judgement as to advocate for evil's geneticist? It'd be tantamount to advocating for Dr Mengele? We're here to learn judgement (not to judge, but to learn); what will we have learned if we stand-up for evil? Had the "aliens" changed their ways, maybe it'd be a different story? Maybe...?

Never seen this comment before...
Interesting that people say there must be other life out there. I’m a firm believer of the rare earth hypothesis because the earth and indeed our Solar System, are so unique. Especially with Jupiter out there protecting earth and having a nice sized moon stabilizing earth.
Maybe God created our solar system that way.
Believing in Aliens, when every mode of biological transport through motion is on earth. Any Alien would need thumbs to manipulate it's environment. So, no Aliens can exist because that is uniquely human. Any mode of transport would be Earthly also if it has legs, tentacles, etc; these are uniquely earthly features with biological functions for Earthly reasons.
@@jonathanjones2640 True, but if aliens do exist on other planets and they have a large enough brain. It’s possible they could have evolved with their own unique hands, limbs, claws or tentacles to be able to manipulate and adapt in their own environments. It’s a hard question, we have large brains and look what we have accomplished in such a short period of time. Dolphins, whales and elephants also have large brains, but you don’t see them building rocket ships and going to the moon. Dinosaurs, lived on earth for millions of years, so long that they should have been a type 3 civilization. But they had small brains, and they weren’t biologically engineered for building things.
@@ShawnGS300 aliens would not have brains. Brains are unique to humans. If am alien had a brain, then it would be humanoid and related to us and not an alien at all. Nor would an alien have limbs for our modes of transport. Nor would aliens be cellular or have "biology." Your projecting human and Earthly aesthetics onto aliens demonstrates that you understand aliens need certain features and modes to exist at all, however, all of these features and modes and variations of it have been created here on Earth. There are no aliens. Aliens would not have ecosystems. Ecosystems exist due to destruction. ...but why is that? What causes destruction? Why would life seek to collapse in on itself and come to nothing if it's "life?" Think, think, think... Don't justify what you believe. Try to dismantle it and prove it incorrect. Scientist create theories that have no basis in reality and we take it is fact. Let's not do that.
Contact with those things can destroy your immune system. You have to keep the human body at a higher frequency for prolonged periods of time. Some know this already.

Are 'we' all just eternally existent existence eternally experiencing itself? Are 'we' all one with everything in existence? 'We' are one with the aliens and they with 'us', and yet, neither of us even actually exist, but existence exists as 'us', eternally?
Neil looking at that Alien like: *Trust Me You Don’t Want Smoke*
Even if they found life somewhere the experts would doubt the evidence like they always do. There affraid of some thing being more significant then themselves. People like Neil love to hear themselves talk it seems.
I mean that's how scientists do science. Find something and do everything they can to prove it wrong, and if that fails then the conclusion is that it must be right.
Is it that we know they exist but we don't know where to find them or we not even sure if they do exist if that's the case where did we get their pictures from?
My friend and I were abducted in Mineral King Park, at 10,100ft elevation, in 1976.
The ET was a friendly one, but it was still very traumatizing.
Of course they do not send scientists, like Neil to the High Sierras, very often, to sky watch.
Scientists are not field explorers.
This means unfortunately that they will never admit to someone such as yourself having encountered these aliens if true because it has not happened to them and more than likely never will so long as they work under the same scenario.
I heard they are hung like horses. That's scary.
Can u explain more how it happened ? I was recently attacked as well but they hurt me , you think it's alien technology , they did some things I can't explain in words
Most people can’t comprehend just how big the universe is. Even when it’s put more into perspective it’s bigger than most people realize and we happen to live in a relatively empty region of our galaxy where there isn’t much outside of our solar system. Some might think that’s sad because finding life out there is less possible however that actually is a good thing for us because were less likely to have a collision with comets, asteroids, meteorites etc. now as for the 2 possibilities theory of life either being out there or not that’s false. There isn’t 2. There is only one and that happens to be that there IS other life forms out there including ones that are less advanced as well as more advanced than us. It’s a mathematical certainty that they are out there. However making contact with them unfortunately won’t be possible. Most likely ever in our short human life spans. As far as I’m concerned the only way we may be able to make contact with other civilizations is by making contact with parallel universes where our counterparts on parallel earths may have made contact already
I think our true history is being withheld from us.
Consider the following: Modern science claims that all matter is made up of quarks, electrons and interacting energy. Quarks, electrons and interacting energy that existed before we existed. So now, do 'we' even actually exist, OR do ONLY quarks, electrons and interacting energy exist as 'us' and all matter? Are 'we' all just eternally existent existence eternally experiencing itself?
Another take: (copy and paste from my files):
Consider the following as well, even utilizing modern science:
a. Modern science claims that energy cannot be created nor destroyed (a foundational principal of physics). Hence, energy is either eternally existent, or modern science is wrong.
b. Modern science claims that we have new cells that come into existence inside of our body on a daily basis. This appears to be really true.
So, since I have a body with energy and cells in it:
* A part of me is eternally existent and a part of me is being born anew on a daily basis.
* My current body extends from eternity past until now.
* Rising to a higher level of thought, the 'now' that I exist in is 'eternal'.
* I am currently existing in the 'eternal now'.
* I am currently an actual eternally existent conscious entity existing in the eternal now.
At least once in my life I reached being an actual eternally existent conscious entity existing in the eternal now. It's just that the current analysis indicates that it will not always be that way.
But then again, as I don't know what I don't know, and even what I believe I know to be really true maybe isn't, as well as my mind making up stuff to fill in the gaps of it's perceived existence, along with other items too, I will be the first to admit that I could be wrong. Maybe once attained, I actually have an actual eternal conscious existence in some form throughout all of future eternity. Can I really ever prove to myself that I don't?
And also: "IF" my TOE idea is correct, then:
* I am currently an actual eternally existent conscious being of light ('gem' photons) existing in an environment entirely made of light ('gem' photons), existing in the eternal now.
But then also: "IF" my definitions of Space Time and the TOE idea are correct, then:
* Do "I" and all things even actually exist in the first place, OR does ONLY the 'gem' photons exist as all things? How could "I" ever die if "I" never actually existed in the first place but the eternally existent 'gem' photons were existing as "me"? And if the 'gem' photons decided to exist as "me" throughout all of future eternity, whom am "I" to argue with them since "I" don't even actually exist at all in the first place? If the 'gem' photons decided to exist as "me" throughout all of future eternity, they might only have to will it to be so.
And note, this would apply to you too.
* Added note: One just has to find out how to stay 'life coherent' throughout literally all of future eternity, otherwise, one would eventually de-cohere back from whence one came. One would die and go extinct for all the rest of future eternity. Such it appears is 'life' until life itself is no more.
* Alternative: Find a way to keep the energy of our being in a coherent format so as to stay alive in some form to exist throughout all of future eternity, (future eternity being a really, really long time, with literally no end). Plus, one would have to live through many, many, many mass extinction events of all kinds. And then also, one would have an ever growing list of long lost loved ones who either could not, or chose not to, stay coherent themselves throughout all of future eternity. So that life itself has continued meaning and purpose to throughout all of future eternity. Otherwise, if no entity exists one day, then all of life itself would all be ultimately meaningless in the grandest scheme of things as no entity would be left to care about anything or anyone literally ever again throughout all the rest of future eternity. It would not even ultimately matter that any of us ever existed in the first place much less how we existed while we existed. Either at least one species survives throughout all of future eternity (if it's even actually possible to literally do), OR none do.
LIFE: The coherency of energy in a certain format.
DEATH: The de-coherency of energy when life no longer exists.
French philosopher quoted the saying "I think therefore I am".
We humans think therefore we are.
Can matter that is simple quarks, liquids and atoms and such make the same claim all by their single selves?
NO!
Therefore life is much more complex than what some scientists officially claim.
@@davidescobar5366 "I think therefore I am".
Question: Where do thoughts actually come from?
For example: Modern science claims that we have billions of brain cells with trillions of brain cell connections. How exactly does the energy signal 'know' where and when to start, what path to take, and where and when to stop to form a single coherent thought?
An analogy I utilize is to spread a brain out like a map. Brain cells are represented by towns and cities, brain cell interconnections are represented by roads and highways, and the energy signal is represented by a vehicle traveling between one or more towns and/or cities. A coherent thought is a coherent trip.
How exactly does the vehicle 'know' where and when to start, what path to take, and where and when to stop to form a single coherent trip? A higher intelligence has to tell it those things. But, that is a coherent 'trip' (thought) in and of itself.
So, how exactly does our brain think a thought before it consciously thinks that thought? And if thoughts can be thought without consciously thinking thoughts, then what do we need to consciously think thoughts for? Just to consciously think thoughts that are already thought? What then of 'freewill' if we don't even consciously think our own thoughts?
And then to further that situation, modern science claims that many different energy signals are starting at various places in the brain, take various pathways, and stop at different places, just to form a single coherent thought. (With the analogy, many vehicles are starting at various places on the map, taking various routes, and stopping at various places, all together forming a single coherent 'trip'.) And somehow it's all coordinated and can happen very quickly and very often.
So, where do thoughts actually come from? Who and/or what is thinking the thoughts before I consciously think those thoughts? Do "I" even have freewill to even think these thoughts "I" am thinking about thoughts and type these thoughts to you here on this internet?
Modern science also claims we have at least 3 brains: The early or reptilian brain, the mid brain, and the later more developed brain. So, are early parts of the brain thinking thoughts before the later parts of the brain consciously think those thoughts? If reptiles can think thoughts, then couldn't the early part of our brain think thoughts, and somehow pass those thoughts on to later more developed parts of later brains? Is our 'inner self' really just our reptilian brain thinking the thoughts that we think we are thinking? Are we all just later more evolved reptiles? Who don't even consciously think our own thoughts?
If not, then how exactly does the brain think thoughts? Where exactly do thoughts originally come from so our brain can consciously think those thoughts?
So "I" am thinking about thoughts, if it is even "I" thinking the thoughts that "I" believe "I" am thinking about thoughts. Or so "I" currently think, here again, if it is even "I" doing the thinking. "My" thinking is imploding as "I" think about thoughts. But then again, is it even 'me' that is imploding? I will have to think about it some more. Poof, I'm gone.
Is just energy interacting with itself the lowest form of sub-consciousness? Is it even consciousness itself?
@@charlesbrightman4237 in the simplest scenario if energy is all that is needed to be as much an atom as a human then why is it that this energy breaks up a the end of life as we know it?
Why can't energy quarks atoms or anything of the sort simply be pumped back into a conscious to keep it working indefinitely?
"Bio Markers" in the atmospheres of exoplanets are indeed what we are looking for and need, for the proof of life. Though Neil deGrasse is more skeptical of the existence of UAPs/UFOs than I can appreciate, he's still one of the brightest and most analytical minds in our scientific community and world. Conversations with Neil are always interesting and a pleasure.
Important question: How long will it be before the cost of putting things into space is reduced enough that we start seeing people launch hoax proof-of-alien-life objects into space?
Incredible question. Seriously. Bravo 👏
Off topic perhaps as we shift to much less activity as the human form. Is there any research into the extrapolation’s about a morph in the evolutionary form of man accordingly in the focus of typical survival occupational practices? Thank you for reading.
I suspect that life occurs elsewhere in the universe but the vast vast majority of it would be far less advanced than humanity. High civilizations, if they exist at all would be exceedingly rare. Maybe one per thousand galaxies.
I think that calculation is flawed!
think about it: in this moment someone a couple of hundred light years away could be looking at earth with their version of the JWST and jump up and down in exitement. they would, however, STILL have no Idea about humankind, because the first radio signals from earth are still a few hundret lightyears away from them - and the same goes for us! we all forget: when we look into space we look into the past. so, earth could (very likely!) already be discovered but humankind most likely isn`t. sure, we could find a planet 2000 light years away, that seems to harbour life but no signs of intelligent life - but that was the case 2000 years ago! maybe they are already sending radiosignals for 500 years. how should WE know?
I would say, realisticly spoken, we couldl find SOME form of life every 100-200 lightyears away in average (beeing conservative here!), cosidering the size and density of the milky way and the average number of planets per star. oh, and one other important detail - radiowaves for intergalactic communication are most likely NOT the final solution...
@@--ART3MIS-- Love your answer!
Some forms of life might be abundant. Highly evolved species like us however, I would speculate to be exceedingly rare.
Another problem may be the sustainability of advanced species over time.
Advanced species leave the ecology and manipulate materials on a vast scale.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if we are the only one in the milky way and that the vast majority of galaxies have produced none.
But this is based on one assumption and that is that Darwin's assessment of evolution is random and not guided in any way by more mysterious mechanisms. If this is true it's a whole different ball game.
The flaw in basing evolution in Darwin's interpretation of it is that here on earth 99.99 percent or more of all living species do not "evolve" a noticeable intelligence other than survival traits.
Animals, insects and even fish never develop advanced features us humans do like for example speech and writing skills. Not even the so called apes from which humans are said to have evolved from and of which some species have existed for longer than us humans have been here on earth.
This means most life if any in the observable universe might not develop enough to communicate with us ever.
a thought.. could colossal asteroid or any space-object hit on earth thrust into space any of earth's plant' seeds or pollens or any parts that produces plants? would they survive outer space? would they be able to sprout, adapt, and survive on other planets they chance to land into? seems very unlikely but just what if...
there is sure life out there. But the distances are too long. We try to go to Mars, which is some 3 light minutes away and it takes approx nine months. The Voyagers we sent into space before 45 years are only 21 light hours away. Just to imagine how far a light year is when we speak about. We may get a signal from somewhere but we'll hardly have a contact of third kind.
would you like to make a contact of the third kind?.... I do not recomended it, but search for: They Live 4D
and see how easy it might be once you know how to spot their crafts during daytime and at roof level. Try it.
This is what I always try to say. Aliens life with the same kind of physics, space-time. And the time is holing us and them as prisoners.
The best scientists have been with organisations on things, Neil is the Mick west of science .
The narrator of this vid sounds just like Neil
Yeah arrogant as he is.
Types of life so far:
1. Carbon base life bons easily but isn't resistant to extremes.
2. Silicone life is chemo synthetic and more resistant but doesn't bon well, and turns to stone if contact with oxygen.
3. Plasma base life is ionized gas of atmospheric chemistry of forms.
4. Synthetic, machine life. Life doesn't have to evolve, it can be made. Highly resistant to extremes and self replicating.
5. Divine life is instantaneous with unlimited abilities of gratification perplexing morphs and telekinesis.
Yes life is abundant throughout the universal but ultra advanced intelligence life is rare. Primitive life is common.
There have been five known mass extinctions in Earth's history, which means life has had to boot up six times (the initial time, plus once after each extinction event). In six attempts, intelligent life has only arisen once. It's a very small sample size, but it's all we have to go on, and our small sample size suggests that there is less than a 20% chance of life developing into intelligent life. Maybe it's actually 1 in a million and we got lucky on attempt #6, maybe it's actually 1 out of 2 and we are a little behind the curve. I'd guess that the truth is somewhere between those two extremes. My point is that I believe that the odds are much better of us finding extraterrestrial bacteria than finding extraterrestrial humanoids.
I think the problem is we have only one frame of reference... If the dinosaurs didn't go extinct could of an intelligent life evolved from them ... Obviously that goes into star trek sci Fi , but it does make an interesting point.
I think the biggest step is finding other planets with life first ... Now of course if we find signs of possible industry then yes that would be a bigger discovery, though if we find multiple planets with oxygen atmospheres then that alone would show earth like life in general is common ... The question would be of course how common is intelligence.. that might be a more difficult question to answer.
@@seancooney8799 I think you're spot on. Though I do not believe the dinosaurs were headed toward intelligence, simply because they had 165 million years to work with and from what I infer, they were not necessarily headed in that direction. In just 3 millions years or so, humans went from tree swinging primates to sending probes out to interstellar space. However, maybe in a less hostile solar system, they might have had billions of years to work with and could have eventually gotten there. I assume that our solar system is typical hostility though, so extinction level asteroids and comets can probably be expected in any star system.
@@Savage3OO6 More of a thought experiment, though in reality I can't say if dinosaurs we're heading to intelligence, just because it reality we don't know what caused that evolutionary jump ... Although I'm wondering if we aren't already seeing signs of that possibility now ... The octopus has been shown to be able to solve complex problems even though it's evolved from some of the earliest sea life ... So at what point does intelligence evolve and what circumstances facilitate that jump in evolution.
@@seancooney8799 Dinosaurs lived for over a billion years... humans have been around for tens of thousands of years only.
It took a really long time for intelligent life to emerge, and that was after it had to restart several times.
ummm what ? Dinosaurs didn't live for a billion years ... Dinosaurs evolved from species who survived the great dying that was 260 million years ago ... Multi cellular life in general is to be theorized to have existed on earth for around 550 million years.
Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
Neil, I have a question. Anyone who keeps up with science news must realize the estimated time frame since the big bang is close to 14 billion years. Well, 14 billion to us on earth. The universe is obviously still expanding but slowing down. One has to wonder if it will eventually start to contract over billions more, until it is so small and condensed that it explodes again.
Ok, my question is, do any Physicist believe or contend that this phenomenon has happened many times before?
OR….. the entire universe eventually gets sucked into a massive black holes over billions of years. Once all the mass in the universe is condense to a singularity (just like a black hole), the singularity will become so unstable that the Big Bang begins all over again. Physics breaks down at the beginning of the Big Bang, physics also breaks down past the even horizon of a black hole. That’s my belief.
its speeding up,how do you not know that.
Some say space is contracting towards a 4th dimensional singularity, I'm not certain about anything especially if it's accepted by the majority, like we're expanding, expanding into what?
Expanding and speeding up.
@@Jack-r2v9b Nope, we are living on a 3D world and interlocked wit it there is a fourth dimension already. 3D cannot contract into a 4D. Search for: They Live 4D and learn more about it. A 3D planetary system remains 3D for ever.
Personally, if they are intelligent as the powers say then I understand why we have not met them. Why would we want to corrupt them with our hatefulness towards each other? I say they should stay smart and keep away from us until we can get our issues worked out and we show our intelligence and not our arrogance. All of the discussions on "intelligent" life are academic in nature. I am not a scientist, but I am a human being who sees what we are and what we have done, some great, but more much bad. I don't feel like meeting myself at times. All of the intellectuals, scientists, and philosophers, should get together and develop something that would benefit us in becoming better, put it into practice, then and only then would "intelligent" life might feel that we are worthy to meet them.
I perfectly agree and wonder at times why, in this huge galaxy let alone the universe, more intelligent alien creatures/species have not made contact. One answer that’s more logical than all others is that aliens of higher intelligence do not interfere with or influence species of lower intelligence.
Let’s speculate for a second that we became a more technologically advanced species, and we can now live longer and travel in space faster than light. One day we come across a less evolved species, what would our reaction be? Land and take over their planet? Give them technology they can’t understand and that they will misuse? Take side with the ones who like us against those who don’t?… I think none of these options. We will study them very discreetly and without making any form of contact that would forever change the course of their history and we’d move away, letting them continue their own evolution.
That’s also why I think, more advanced aliens have left us in peace, knowing too well that any contact with us will inevitably alter our destiny, most probably to the worse as some will use their technologies to fight other humans. It is only when we’ll become wiser, more just, certainly more peaceful, that advanced aliens will contact us.
All intellectuals, scientists and philosophers are quite dumbs when it comes to think about your good idea. Actually we carry a genetic gene from the"aliens", and that is the reason why our predominant part is bad. Search for:
They Live 4D and try to find out what I mean by that.
Who knows, maybe we can influence them
Where to find them? it's easy, they live under the surface for thousands of years, they are among you and you don't even know it.
Wow ....got any photos ??
I can't believe he avoids the fact that they are already here.
This is all just weird he’s got a point though there’s no way human beings came from monkeys in different colors shapes and forms just saying I do feel like there’s a big piece of history that we’re missing that we still have not figured out yet because to be honest the truth is is we just popped up out of nowhere No two monkeys can create a whole race because in Braidwood be taken to a whole Nother level!So give that some thought I’m not the smartest person in the world but I’ve always felt no matter what I’ve learned about our history there’s always been a big piece missing and if we didn’t come from monkeys then how was the first child born it’s just all weird
At what point in history did monkeys decide to wear clothing to cover their genitals?
Never!
We humans are and have always been on a "league of our own" for lack of a better term.
In science they say we are about 99% DNA compatible with the monkey . But if
You really give it some thought if we had evolved from monkeys then why do monkeys exist? What or whom did monkeys breed with in order for us to evolve and the original monkey DNA and race to continue undiluted.. because if we had “evolved” then the whole race of monkeys would not exist today only humans .. two different species would of needed to breed in order to create a whole new breed in itself .. if this makes sense 🤷🏻♀️
@@Sophiagracecassidy no science has ever actually said we evolved from monkeys though. We share a common ancestor with monkeys, huge difference
I have a question for someone smarter than me. Before a star goes supernova and turns into a blackhole why doesn't block light from getting to us. The way I understand it, the star has the same amount of gravity its just condensed into a smaller space. Because of the conservation of energy matter doesn't just disappear it just changes into a different state. So weather the star is millions of mile across or the size of our moon and has the same amount of gravity why doesn't it block light from getting to us?
Because it needs to something to happen. Explode or something. Black hole created is not equal to mass of a star it comes out, in my opinion.
The answer is very simple, because it changed into the 4th state of the matter. Search for They Live 4D
and see how an alien craft right on front of you doesn't block light, but with your phone plus a little device you can see it sharp and clear blocking light.
Because all the matter in the star was volatile/burning before it collapsed.
While burning it is much like a hot air balloon expanding. Once it stops burning all the left over matter condenses onto itself forming a black hole.
In other words without any fuel to keep burning it just falls back into a singularity as science calls it..
An interesting thought for me is the possibility that the asteroid that took out the dinosaurs was launched by intelligent aliens for the very purpose of creating intelligent life on Earth.
You only need to look no further than social media to realise that there's no intelligent life in this world.
@@onsokumaru4663 I know how you feel. Us humans still have another million years to evolve. Maybe then ET will think a visit is worth it.
No.
Aliens did not launch anything.
Us humans may or may not "evolve" concidering no other animal on the planet has evolved other that to what they are today which is animals.
Science claims we are animals also so there is the reason why.
The statistical probability of extraterrestrial life is high - given the sheer number of observable stars: It's highly likely of one or more of those star systems hosts conditions - and planetary bodies - where life is likely to form. So, there are several interesting questions that come out of these suppositions: Does life exist similar to than that found on earth? Has that life evolved similarly to that of mankind, i.e. are they intelligent - developing capabilities such as flight and detectable radio waves? Will they - or do they - exist during the same span of time as us...? I am appreciative of those in the scientific community attempting to "tackle" these questions....
nickpetrillo All our attempts at rationalising the existence of life elsewhere is simply that....us trying to make things fit (with major biases) The stats re numbers fails as there is no way of determining many of our assumptions (like parts of the Drake Equation) We just don't have the data or evidence to claim one way or the other.
It's a really interesting topic and one that we humans are naturally inclined to want answers to. In time we may find out but it's sad when scientists assert "life is certainly out there" when we don't know. In doing so they are failing in their role.
Our universe is just a fart in the desert
Interesting stuff 🤔
A very informative video
This is amazing scientific Evidence
Well done
If I could HUG any scientist, it would be this Gentleman! ❤He explains everything so well, and kind of bluntly!
ya know... i've given this a lot of thought. and correct me if i'm wrong, but if you calculate the distance to the nearest star, its about an eight to ten year round trip for a speed of light radio signal to travel there, and a response sent back. the "wow" signal was received approximately eight years after we went to the moon. and blasted intelligent radio signals all over outer space. its just an observation of mine that maybe the "wow" signal was our return call from that alien world we're looking for. it took eight years to get a response because that star system is four light years away. which makes a certain amount of sense to my armature astrophysics way. when it comes to sending a signal that aliens life would understand, forget about detailed technical information of any sort. instead i would suggest music.. being the universal language, could be used specifically "Mary had a little lamb" because its a simple, data efficient pattern that, albeit it silly, has a good chance to be recognized as intelligent and not accidental. seems to me that's why Thomas Edison used it when first demonstrating his phonograph. perhaps alien life might know this and so the "wow" signal is actually a simple song.
on a side note: a question for big brained people...if everything is inside the universe, what is the universe inside of? i think its inside another bigger universe, and that's inside another bigger universe and so on. limit undefined...eeeshe... my mind just went into infinity mode in four dimensions at once.
Why are aliens always naked? You figure they would at least have some coverage. Lol
1:32 Pont Du Gard, if anyone wants to know.
Many scientists initially believed that the heat and dust of the asteroid impact could have caused the extinction of dinosaurs. But now there is evidence that the massive volcanic eruptions in India, which occurred before the asteroid's impact, caused climate change that had already killed some groups of dinosaurs, also contributed to this. Frankly speaking to her, what happened in the past has still survived as a major undisclosed mystical event in the evolution of the earth.
I mean first person who would know if there's aliens it would be Elon, not someone who observed space from a telescope
The main character on an old CSI Miami episode was asked what would he say to an alien if he saw one. He said run.
I often have a philosophical or scientific insight, to find that either Tyson or PBS Spacetime have beat me to the question and answer, damn LOL
Fascinating
Those aliens will have a look at tiktok and turn back immediately 🤣
Nail is my astrophysicist. He make sense on everything
Ndt is the shit!!! Smart as all hell and funny! I love to listen to just about anything he has to say!
It’s getting easy and easier to find extraterrestrials life on earth 🌎 🌏 🌎
If an alien civilization is found, we will never know about it.
We want to find aliens but we can’t even get along with each other
Shinedown- Planet Zero
If you've not yet listened to give it one. It's a beautifully written song, with thoughts on space and human society in it's current state.
I could listen to Dr. Neil talk his shit alllll day! He is amazing!
We won't find them until they are ready to be found. There is a real probability they already know of us.
Hello Neil you are not alone we are here we have always here
I can see space aliens talking to each other and saying "avoid Earth and go on Stealth mode when near Earth".
Here on Earth exist animals that life spans exceed ours. An Intelligent Extraterrestrial civilization could have evolved past time because their life spans greatly exceeds ours, so while we’re looking at light years, they could care less about traveling these distances.
Yet these animals that have exceeded out lifespan have failed to evolve into nothing more than what they are - animals.
Why are we any different if scientifically we are animals ourselves?
@@davidescobar5366 the only difference is we are able to destroy the natural balance of things including ourselves while all other animals would have continued to exist.... remember, with all our intelligence we can't survive without animals or plants, however, with us out of the picture, the world will continue to flourish.
As for lifespans, our history has favored brains over lifespans, but that's not to say that evolution has not made another species evolve the other way around or with both.
@@PANADUCE speculating that life is as numerable as the countless stars and galaxies in the Universe that makes sense.
Basing life as it is known to occur here on earth as a scientific model slash starting point then 99.99 percent of life on the planet never evolves past their most primitive savage or unconscious/unintelligent being.
Reason I bring this up is that speculation is not the scientific method of doing things.
In fact it is totally the opposite of true science in the purest sense of the word.
@@davidescobar5366 what else then can we go by? The most reasonable place to start is our own since Earth is a planet that went through the processes that other planets go through, is it accurate?....no, but, science is science because we speculate not despite of it.
How to find aliens: Put uo a giant cow flag..lol 🤪😁😅😄
Might be smart to ask if we really should find them. If they're anything like humans, and possess any monopoly on power compared to us, they will take anything they desire. Or invariably, we would do the same to them. You ever squish a bug crawling by, with no thought at all, or memory after? It's more than plausible that scenario would play out.
