I have to disappoint you dreamers as it's a big misconception about life, how it's rare as bacteria and also as intelligent life in our universe. First problem with life as bacteria is that we don't know its origin, but let's pretend that we know and it has to emerge from geochemistry. Then biology scientists think that even with the same conditions life could evolve just 4 of 10 times. Then you have to look at all factors necessary in other words what must be to support life on earth to find another one habitable planet and then things get much more complicated. First at least ~80% of stars in our galaxy are red dwarfs which can't support photosynthesis so they go out of the window. Then we have at least 10 other factors which all of them together have to be on other planets to support life so it's super rare and if you calculate probability you will get only ~50 planets after all and that's in the best case but it can be that there is none at all. Then back to intelligent life and taking into account all mass extinction events and that there were dominant dinosaur species it was by fact not a matter of time but matter of luck that bacteria evolved into intelligent life so the possibility that it will happen again is so small, it can be said that it is practically impossible. I wish to believe that we are not alone but data shows opposite so brothers and sisters keep in mind that we might be alone so respect each other more as well as animals and plants. Peace

You can theoretically travel faster than light speed if you can manipulate space time itself i.e. gravity. Creating 180 degree gravitational fields (anti-gravity) that warp the space time itself rather than traveling through it conventionally. This, essentially negating (i think) most all external forces as it creates what we know traditionally as a “force field”. This is how the UAP’s we’ve been seeing for awhile have been theorized to work. Instantaneous acceleration in any direction, no propulsion systems that are visible, silent, trans medium, ect… There’s a few research papers released recently and funded by the US department of defense (which I don’t think is a coincidence) showing that these negative energy states are not just theoretical, but can be created in lab as well.

I theorize that advanced alien civilizations don't travel interstellar because they've mastered "inner space" travel. They can move between dimensions where distance is not a factor. This enables them to jump from point A to B without the hazards of interstellar travel. However, I do think they travel within their local system. Another theory is that they travel vast distances between dimensions with their minds and can somehow manipulate matter or project matter in that state.

It's not feasible to do interstellar travel. Even somehow figure out safe lightspeed travel, it would still take eons to travel across the milky way, let alone to other galaxies. There could be an advanced civ 100 lightyears away form earth and: - It wouldn't be worth it reaching us, and if they are coming at lightspeed, it makes sense they wouldn't here yet considering we've only dabbled in space for 60 years. - Our radio signals going out and coming in don't even reach anywhere near 100 light years away, which itself is a tiny fraction of this galaxy. Most wouldn't know we exist, those that do have no reason or way of getting ere or contacting.

An interesting book series that explores this topic is The Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin. It answers the Fermi Paradox with the "dark forest" theory; Civilizations are hard to find because they intentionally hide so they are not found by other stronger Civilizations. In his second book The Dark Forest, there are ancient Civilizations with terrifying weaponry that can collapse dimensions.

But went through several massive extinctions just to get to the dinosaurs (which ruled the Earth for hundred of millions of years) yet they did not develop the brains to ponder the cosmos and try to understand their surroundings, invent physics, math, chemistry, etc. It took more major cataclysms, and a long period of relatively nice weather lately for humans to relax and flourish. > As much as we hate “war”that one human tendency has driven more technologial advancement than anything else that has happened on earth, second to that, only environmental challenges. > Then civilization would have to have the desire to explore the cosmos in order to have a chance to detect or even meet another one All and all a fascinating subject, and how all your different guests have tried to answer that question.

Considering that no other life on earth has as yet become intelligent enough to consider space travel and a reset could mean another 2 billion years until they do, time is very much an important factor. The universe is young, that's what a lot of people don't realise.

I agree. Even if an advanced civilization doesn't have lightspeed travel they could colonize a galaxy with probes in about a million years which should mean there should be probes here already. Also with regards to detecting their communications, sure many may use a different technology we can't currently detect or use power levels like ours that have a relatively small detection bubble, but we're not trying to detect all civilizations just one. If they are common why isn't there a solitary civilization we can detect?

All life is intelligent, in one way or another its just about what (you) persieve to be cleverest, you or something that you can't see

I have real questions of time and size. How fast is time moving for them? As opposed to what we see as time. How big are we compared to them. Their are huge amounts of life at the microscopic level.

It seems to me that it depends on your starting propositions as to the likelihood of life in the universe. Perhaps it really is as simple as Nick Lane says but perhaps there are a number of steps so unlikely as to be near insurmountable hurdles. Studies in Artificial Life and voyages to other planets like Mars should fill in some of the variables in the future, but there is a long way to go.

The thing is, we could already share the earth with them and they just choose to remain hidden under ground and in the water. That is assuming they are 3 dimensional beings similar to us. However, If they exist at a higher dimension or different vibrational state, they could be everywhere on earth, occupying the same physical space as us but existing just out of the reach of our perception.

The latest information on UAPs, the new name for UFOs, describes them as trans-medium vehicles that can and do travel as easily and mysteriously thru air as they do thru water. They have been recorded many times entering and leaving the ocean and other bodies of water which implies they may well have bases even cities under water and beyond our reach. There is currently no information available to the public regarding whether these vehicles can travel thru earth as easily as air and water but if these vehicles are employing a knowledge of physics that we cant understand with our current model, this could be a possibility.

I saw this article somewhere about a year ago, when I started watching Joe Rogan and Bob Lazzar, it was just documents stating that their were about 10 or so listed alien species, with ruff sketches of the beings. It also had their place of origin (Some bizarre names).Each species had a description and a mission/ goal they were trying to potentially educate the Human Race with. Some caught my eye. Such as the Galatic War. A hand full of species are in a million of year old war, and are running out of life to "convert to fight " Which would explain our brain doubling in size!! The other was something about each planet having a number of souls it can have, and that limits the potential of the planet. Not sure on the number tho.

light speed travel is not as problematic as they suggest since the same process that allows it will also eliminate the problem with debris. How you do it is learn how to manipulate the Z field, the field which gives all things mass. It can simply be given a directional bias (as with gravity) and be used to propel you.

Fermi Paradox Solved: As civilizations progress they become more aware of the vulnerable ecosystems they live in and become more and more energy efficient and eco-friendly. This is the opposite trend of the Kardashev scales. This is the Eywa scale (from Avatar) if you will. In this concept energy use per capita reaches a maximum and then gradually decreases (already happening in the US and EU). At the same time intelligent beings wish to be more and more in close connection with nature. At some point they upload themselves into biological networks thus becoming one with nature, achieving immortality, and effectively reaching a state of Nirvana. These civilizations would not emit any signals and would be invisible to us even if we landed on the actual planet. Or maybe not - see "Vaster than Empires and More Slow" by Le Guin.

I think the Fermi Paradox is best explained by the fact that for life periods of a mixture of intellegence and violence (war) are very short lived meaning either the life forms destroy each other with the violence or evolve to a level of understanding that the influence of thier communications could lead to war/violence on other worlds in similar transitions. For this reason they move to an encrypted (or possibly faster) form of communication outside the electromagnetic spectrum, which is why we cannot detect it (yet).

@@healthiswealth1452 That is an insanely close minded idea, easily disproved with though. There’s no laws of physics preventing it. There’s plenty of time for technology to advance and for travel. Electricity is 200 years yet you think all technology possible has already been made?

If you look at interstellar travel linearly then yes it’s very long and difficult but if there’s a technology that allows you to phase into different positionalities of space-time like coordinates, basically time travel in the present, it makes more sense. I’m blowing smoke here because I don’t even know if that’s physically possible but there’s a lot that we don’t know. And that theory would also raise the question of how one could have any idea which coordinates to enter and also how anyone would ever consider it safe or desirable to get into a craft that phases through time like radio stations - or, that will take 50,000 years to reach its destination. But not too unsafe for a robotic probe. It’s likely that any civilization technologically sufficient to accomplish long distance travel would have developed advanced AI. Therefore it’s possible if extraterrestrial crafts have been here and/or we make contact we may be interacting with advanced AI. The extraterrestrials may even be bio engineered beings specifically designed to meet the requirements of interstellar travel. It’s also possible that the original civilization would provide AI assistants with the mission to spread their life (via bioengineering) to other planets that are habitable. Perhaps the machines are told to design and release bioengineered beings custom tailored to that biosphere!

Interstellar is hard for people who don't understand the real universe. It takes 26 earth seconds to get to Sagittarius A star. You must leave the 3rd and 4th dimension and move in the 5th, then reformat on the other end. You reach other stars by entering our star and dialing in to the one you want to arrive at. The speed in the 5th is 1000 ly per earth second.

Everywhere? Excuse me, Waiter! There is an alien civilization in my soup!

portals is the way forward like in guardians of the galaxy 2. ships are very fast and can go through a solar system in like an hour lets say but in every solar system there is a portal connected to another one. That way at least we can travel to quite a few civilizations during a 1 year journey or whatever

I think it takes a MASSIVE amount of energy focused on one axis.

So glad you asked about aliens, I was wondering if you had forgotten about it since every interview you have ever done .

They are here already. There were numerous reports of ufo craft being around when we were testing the nuclear bomb and reports of craft entering and exiting large bodies of water unless of course we had that kind of tech going back into the 40's.

We have heard from them on many levels of society and government as well as in ancient history, the evidence is massive.

Also, by alowing a civilization to evolve on it own, you can learn new technologies from that civilization. No matter how advance you are.

Here's the thing. The chemistry of the origin of life seems so easy and basic and we can describe it like we can create life in our kitchen sinks and yet, we can't. We can't create life in this way in our best labs with our best equipment and with all our hubristic knowledge. We're missing something.

I totally disagree with the premise that "this isn't that crazy". We still have no idea how to create life from non-life. We've never been able to replicate that in a lab and we've never observed it in nature. For nature to be able to do something that we can't replicate in a lab, that tells me it's a borderline miracle, if not a miracle.

Societies are complex and that doesn't necessarily mean other intelligent entities share the same notion behind those ideas but the end result is likely to be what we observe, staring into the void for anomalies and recognizable techno signatures.

Have an earth like planet in the goldilocks zone and billions of years and you will have life eventually. There is probably life on planets and moons in our solar system. It would be under the 5 mile ice in the oceans at the bottom by heat vents. The ice would be an insulator allowing life to form in that ocean. I refuse to accept that life is rare, this universe was made for life to exist and explore.

It's possible that the creation of life is pretty common and it happens in many many different places. But it's also possible that the creation of life and that life actually becoming intelligent, is EXTREMELY rare. Even with the amounts of time involved, that the chances of that life actually developing technology and going to the stars, could be incredibly rare. And then on top of that, the length of these intelligent civilizations could be incredibly short in the span of time. So short that most advanced civilizations end up killing themselves or some natural catastrophe kills them before they reach the stars or they just disappear fairly quickly. It's possible that we so incredibly rare, that as we move out in to space we will find so much basic life, in every nook and cranny, but as for civilized life, it would be so rare, and so far away, that we would never come in to contact with it. We may find out that as we move in to space, all we discover is ancient remnants of dead civilizations that existed and left in the blink of an eye. And imagine this thought. I used to think that the universe was teeming with life and probably intelligent life. Using the most pessimistic numbers in the Drakes equation (calculates the number of intelligent life in a galaxy) even with those pessimistic numbers, I calculated there are at least 1000 intelligent civilizations in our galaxy alone. But imagine if it's so incredibly rare that we are the only intelligent life in this sector of the universe. That billions of civilizations have come and gone and that most of them never actually live for very long in the expanse of time. The universe is 14 billion years old. And imagine that intelligent life is so incredibly rare, and on top of that ... that space is so large and the universe so old, that it would be incredibly rare that this intelligence lived any where near close to each other, and also existing at the same time in the universe. It could be so rare, that as we move in to space, we literally find this basic life everywhere, but ZERO intelligent life or any evidence that it even exists. Space is so large .. and so old... 14 billion years for the universe. The Earth has only been on the scene for about 4 billion to 5 billion years which is only 1/3rd of the universes age. Intelligent life could have come and gone many times and been so far away, that we will rarely find it. Let alone exist at the same time as we are late comers in to the universe.
