I think this is argument "from expansion". Life always expand to fill all available nieches, and we always expanded. So it is fairly likely that another civilization driven by curiosity, such as ours, would expand and they wouldn't need much time to colonize the whole of almost whole galaxy, which we would be able to detect.

This is an always rewarding pairing of space exploration/ Fermi Paradox experts that are also entertaining and a pleasure to listen to.

Personally I am of the opinion that are understanding of science is sufficiently incomplete that we don’t know how to listen in on the “great intragalactic party line”.

Ha, I just finished the new Cool Worlds episode! A great day for space content!

So, Dr Kipping's main point here, if I understand him correctly: Either the Universe typically makes intelligent life on any reasonably suitable planets, or it very rarely does. Very interesting. I'm reminded of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which says that systems will get more and more disordered over time. The reason for the increasing disorder is that there is just one state of perfect order, but there are enormous numbers of different states of disorder. Perhaps we can see the emergence of intelligent life in the same vein. Perhaps there is one long path of very many steps required to create intelligent life, and there are huge numbers of ways to screw up one of more of these necessary steps. If so, it follows naturally that extremely few planets will be able to create intelligent life.

Fantastic video! The conversation about Bayesian statistics and the future likelihood of civilizations appearing is extremely interesting. Dr. Kipping's insights make the complex topic accessible and engaging for all viewers.🥰

Enjoyed this episode very much!

Cool worlds and event horizon at the same time! Always love it

Great episode!

Having watched Dr. Kipping's video on this, importantly he doesn't rule out intelligent ET. The analysis doesn't rule out other civilizations, just that the parameter space for them seems to be extremely low, maybe even zero. We just don't know how low it is, thus he does mention in the paper there is likely more potential to find ET if we start looking outside the milky way as the numbers get much bigger. I hope I'm making sense distilling this.

We have not been listening long enough to come to any conclusions.

Time is probably a big factor as well. It took time for heavy elements to be formed in the universe which is necessary for life and in the 12 billion years of the universe it took around 4.6 for us to evolve on this one specific planet. Just based on that it seems we are semi early overall.

Seriously though, I understand that the possible permutations given the number of stars and the possible number of planets in our galaxy is staggering, but if you really dig into the science of our environment you discover that there is a very specific set of variables that allow us to have liquid water oceans, oxygen rich atmosphere, favorable pressure and temperatures. Just slightly more or less mass, temperature, pressure, different composition, etc and we aren't here. Even If you allow for life to develop in less hospital conditions we likely wouldn't have fire, or be able to develop technology or be able to escape our gravity/atmosphere to launch satellites or space vehicles. We would be limited to a low tech civilization, trapped here by our gravity and or environment. Life in the galaxy could be abundant, but Earth like planets and technological, space faring civilizations could indeed be very rare.

This makes a lot of sense! Kipping has changed my view on this issue

He was right. With the Universe being 13.7 billion years old, the earth being 4.8 billion years old, it’s unlikely that there are not plants where intelligent, technologically advanced life would not have evolved before ours.

Ah yes… this is the Ying Yang we need…

"Nick Lane: The electrical origins of life" A talk delivered in 2023 by Nick Lane, Professor of Evolutionary Biochemistry, Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment, University College London. If he is right, life happens automatically on any wet, rocky world. Water sinks into the ground, finds hot rock, experiences chemistry, and then rises. Forming a thermel vent. Full of chemistry, and billions of 'cells' in the extremely complicated micro passagways. Some of these cells get the right nutrients to, well, don't let me spoil it. It's an hour you won't want back. One of the best lectures I have seen.

In a universe that will support life for at least dozens of trillions of years (maybe longer), and couldn't support life for the first several billion, it's safe to say we are EXTREMELY early to the game. It is feasible we could be the first in this galaxy, and one of the first in the entire universe.

It's a fascinating subject and one I've long agreed with David on. It seems to me that intelligent life is very very rare, but that once it develops it spreads quite easily. I find it very difficult to envisage a filter that could totally prevent our growth at this point. So the most likely of the unlikely answers? We're the first.

u guys rock!

Seriously - I don't rule out a galactic empire, so to speak. We don't have the data to do that. All we've done is effectively take weak core samples of planets somewhat near us. We can't yet see all the planets around most of the stars we've considered. We've mostly just looked at transits. When you consider that any civilization even slightly more advanced than us wouldn't be blasting radio comms like we do, combined with our utter (current) inability to detect a civilization, combined with the possibility that most life could be on moons rather than planets... we cannot say we are not indeed surrounded by a galactic "community". Note: I highly doubt there could even be a galaxy-wide empire. But a galaxy practically full of civilizations? That actually is possible. We could be in the middle of a community that is just becoming aware that we're here (due to light emissions showing changes in our atmosphere due to our technological development). Before then, aliens could detect there was life for a very long time. So if I had to guess, given we are inside that community, we've been the equivalent of a natural forest or zoo that aliens have no reason to visit except for maybe a rare science expedition. But when they detect a smart entity is here, then their interest may well be piqued. Bottom line is they will know we're here before we find any of them. And we're now detectible out to 100-150 light years.
