Animals kill each other daily in order to survive. Plants feed on insects. A strain of microbes and germs die so that a stronger and more adapted strain can be born and take its place and so on. All beings thrive on eliminating competition to subsist. It’s just Pacifists who see the world adorned in rainbows and the sky is pink and the sun is ever so shiny. if an alien is at your door you will get to see just how friendly they are, assuming they choose to let you keep your eyes, brain, body or whatever’s left you.

He has some really good points, and they're pretty true. We're intelligent by our standards, but other aliens probably don't see us that way. They may think we're pretty clever, the way we think monkeys, dogs and dolphins are. One theory I've heard that I really like is that perhaps the universe is in fact pretty crowded, but we're in a "dead zone" part of the galaxy; kind of like Death Valley, I suppose, or any vast open desert with nothing around for miles. This is definitely possible considering our galaxy is relatively young compared to the rest of the universe. If other alien life forms have existed for billions of years, they'd be around before our galaxy even started to form. So, they probably saw it as dead space and thus have no reason to even travel here.

High civilizations only evolve having ethics, moral and compassion, and I’m not saying this based in any religious belief, but this is LOGIIICC, nothing can get out of a simple solar system without EXTREME coordination and cooperative natural character.

Well this is late but that's imposing human characteristics on non-human beings. It could be entirely logical, possible and profitable (in both monetarily and intellectually) to keep other being enslaved. Just because the west doesn't currently have slaves doesn't mean they didn't work previously and alongside other leaps in culture and technology look at any previous human leaps prior to the 1800s and you will.fid either slaves or slave-like classes backing the society. I'm not at all advocating slaves but NDT has proven multiple times his ignorance of geopolitics or even historical geopolics and how it relates to science. And there is plenty of evidence showing slavery to be a profitable trade depending on how it is implemented and for what purposes. Tl;Dr don't let your human ideals cloud you to the reality of a situation. And NDT is pretty shit when it comes to anything but explaining science.

Right so he’s definitely a working scientist. But he’s not the once in a generation genius like a Hubble, Or an Einstein. Most of modern scientists aren’t, they are slowly building on the work of those towering masters. And Neil’s primary job is as a science advocate for the public, to make science more appealing for the average Joe and Jane. That’s his main contribution as a scientist, He’s similar to Carl Sagan and has pretty much inherited the mantle from the guy who very much inspired him to do so. It’s very unfair when people try to delegitimize this ma as a scientist. He’s definitely a scientist in an every sense of the world. People have a very distorted perception of what a Scientist actually is. And I blame the medias obsession with Einstein and Carl Sagan for that.

I disagree with NDGT on one point. He's right we don't think about worms because they're not intelligent and thus not interesting. But the moment we see some behavior even remotely resembling intelligence, for example tool use in animals, or elephants possessing memory, interspecies animal cooperation, whales ability to communicate across the entire ocean, dolphins recognizing their own reflection in a mirror, we are immediately fascinated and want to explore their limits. Even though the intelligence they've displayed is very rudimentary by human standards, we still find them very interesting to study. So an advance alien that considers us primitive I think would still find us fascinating just because of how uncommon life is compared to lifeless worlds, and they too would want to see the limits of what we can know or do. After all, we've built cities, we are masters of our world, we have harnessed the atom, we've harvested energy from the earth and the sun. This is nothing to thumb your nose at even for someone far more advanced. We'd be as fascinating to them as dolphins are to us. I do agree with him that aliens would be unlikely to come here just to destroy us. Just as we wouldn't do that if we found non-intelligent life somewhere else. We'd want to study them instead and possibly learn more about ourselves in the process.

That life could have formed on its own somewhere else means it could have formed anywhere, and could be very abundant in the galaxy (not intelligent life, just life in general). It would give us clues into abiogenesis and people can stop saying god did everything.

I certainly learnt a thing or 2 with Neil's reflection. Although I must say... When you say Alien, you are brushing them all out as one specie or something like that. You see, think how vast the universe is... think of the possibility of how many other intelligent species are out there. Some of them could have the ability to travel and completely lack some basic skills humans have. Some might even be totally inferior than and other might be absolutely superior in every way - my point it, we are not talking about 1 specie, we are talking about the possibility of there being other species from other part of this solar system, this galaxy or even other galaxies. This is a huge debate. Again, thank you Neil... It's good to have a visual perspective of things

Plot twist: Aliens created us. We’re genetic hybrids.

if aliens see the Kardashians and their fan base... well, nothing to see here.

So I have this thought in my head which sort of stems from the principle of least effort. This is a fairly worldwide rule of thumb which applies to various fields, including biology. It basically states that creatures (and other forms of matter) will most often choose the path of least resistance, and do only what they need to to survive, and not more than this. To me, this means that a creature will evolve to be as smart as it needs to be, and then stop evolving. For this reason, I believe that the science fiction idea of the hyper-intelligent alien race is not one that is likely to come about through natural selection (though that doesn't mean it couldn't churn out one that is still somewhat smarter than us). There is a caveat to this, which comes in the form of *un*-natural selection: eugenics, gene therapy, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, etc., but at that point, we are quite far down the path of conjecture, where anything is possible. However, in this video, Neil seems to offer the idea that a race capable of traversing the stars is far more advanced than we are, and therefore must be a hyper-intelligent species relative to us. Personally, I do not agree with this logic. The Europeans who wiped out the Native American tribes were the same species, no more intelligent than those they conquered. The Natives were not worms on the pavement, they just didn't have guns (or smallpox, but whatever). Anyway, I have no idea why I wanted to type all this at 8 am on a youtube comment section. As we all know, any viewpoint related to ET's is currently pure conjecture anyway, this is simply what seems logical to me.

I suppose that was the point I was making: that natural selection will create species that are as strong/aggressive/smart as they need to be to reliably survive, and not smarter than that. So the only way such a process could churn out a hyper-intelligent race would be if there were multiple competing entities with human-level intelligence, and if the path to evolutionary victory was more and more and more intelligence, rather than aggression or strength or fertility. Thinking about it today, there's no reason why this is impossible, but I do agree with my third paragraph, that human level intelligence is enough to traverse the stars, and so there's no reason to assume some more advanced being would need to be more any more intelligent than we are, right?

​@@aerobyrdable Hmm, yep. That makes sense actually. I am wondering if humans are smart enough to remain in existence though. I am thinking about a universe that is actually quite hostile to any life form. Also, I don't understand much about astrophysics and the likes but I am reading many times that eventually Earth will become inhabitable. Just like our entire galaxy will develop into a state where there is no more room for life. This would imply that at least there is a natural trend that would drive life forms to capabilities far beyond today's world in order to escape to different planets first and eventually even other galaxies? For this, our level of intelligence does not seem high enough at the moment. Would evolution work in a way that our world is actually becoming more and more complex. So, social systems aside, in order to be able to actively contribute for example to the economy, the skills and intelligence you need, are actually increasing (which is posing a threat to the stability of employment rates of course). So, assuming eventually this would become more extreme and there would be another fight for resources on this planet, the very smart people are "fitter" and this would stimulate evolution to higher intelligence. I don't really know anything about this though and it may all sound extremely naive to someone who is educated on those subjects^^

According to Enrico Fermi and Francis Crick, both Nobel Prize recipients, the propagation of life follows an exponential curve and this will also apply to "colonization" of space. Assuming we do not know everything about the Universe (especially that we did not even know the intrinsic principle of the force of gravity), we can imagine that given a very advance level of technology, which always progresses, intelligent life has spread out into the universe for a very long time. Some rough calculations would suggest that it would take 1 million years to populate each solar system of our own galaxy and more or less 2 million years to populate all visible solar systems in the known universe. At the beginning of 1940, Fermi was smart and open-minded enough ask this question: Why aren't they here already? This famous question is at the origin of the "Fermi paradox" where an open mind + some calculations lead to a universe full of life, all connected to each other by "Extraterrestrial Seeders", without any sign of them. Well... that was before the UFO sightings that started few years after his statement. But the UFO sightings were an answer to his famous question. But is the UFO phenomenon real? 1. Evidence from the past: all main religions have writings describing human shape beings who came from the sky and who created man in their own image and using the ground as material (genetic engineering would do just that). 2. Evidence from our time: UFO sightings including radar recordings, testimonies from high rank army officers, secret NASA transmission captured by a cable corporation manager [Martyn Stubbs] in Vancouver, etc., etc., etc.). The problem is that, since the assumed technology in the UFOs propulsion system, anything touching that subject becomes very rapidly top secret at the highest degree. And it will stay that way as long as competition exists between nations because there is a race to take advantage of this technology falling from the sky, literally. The top scientists have been incorporated into the secret and this influences the lower level scientists to believe UFO do not exist because the smartest of their colleagues say they do not exist, not suspecting they are into the secret. This being state, I do not think ETs will save us from self-destroying ourselves, even if they put us here in the first place. What would be the incentive to save primitive “animals” that kill each other... They would rather clean up afterward and start again with a selection of the best ones they would have selected so the next growth would have a better chance of controlling their own violence and chose peace. Meanwhile we still got a small chance to survive but it depends of the awakening of the best scientists who, at some point soon I hope, will realize that if they do not take charge of humanity, they will all perish with the rest of us, to leave the premise to the next one that will grow to survive the final test of peace hopefully. For the ETs, they cannot take contact until we pass the test of peace, which is the only thing that can convince them that we are advance enough to meet them. Otherwise, they will wait until the next cycle… the Yin and Yang cycle of creation/destruction until the right humanity emerges to reach the golden age…where intelligence is respected enough to be a requirement to lead society. This is my view. Is that make sense to you?

Personally, I'm not an advocate of the whole 'ancient astronaut' theory. Its not impossible, but there's no sufficient evidence that supports the claim that early human civilization ever had contact with extra-terrestrial life. I don't think that it's a genuinely ''scientific'' theory either, especially when you approach it from the History Channel/'Chariots of the Gods' angle. Just because a few lines on an ancient painting look like a spaceship, doesn't make it a spaceship. Creationists use the same kind of logic to ''prove'' dinosaurs and humans lived alongside one another - its nonsense! The same thing can be said - more of less- of the whole UFO phenomena. Now yes, UNIDENTIFIED flying objects exist, but we're spitting in Occam's face when we jump to the conclusion that these are alien spacecraft (or even spacecraft at all). Almost no scientist questions the existence of UFOs, merely the assumptions people make about them. Most sightings are easily explainable, and there's almost always more reasonable explanations to jump to for the ones that aren't. I like a lot of your speculations on why aliens might not have contacted us though. I mean, try looking at humanity through the eyes of an alien; look at these strange, balkanized animals which knowingly destroy their own planet and each other. If you were an alien, how would you feel about how they represent beings from other galaxies in their movies? How would Star Trek and all those hominid-looking aliens with cheap latex glued to their heads make you feel? Would you want to meet us?

I looked at Martyn Stubbs' capture of secret NASA videos and the possibility that there was a cover up. After all this I proved myself wrong and discovered a new reality.

Yes; there are a lot of people of varying occupations who believe in ancient aliens, NWO conspiracies, and little green men probing cows. Edgar Mitchell, one of the men who walked on the moon, for example, believes that UFOs are extraterrestrial in origin. However, one's occupation doesn't always mean their reasoning and conclusions are right. Case in point, David Irving. Irving was a once well respected historian, noted for his knowledge of Nazi military and war tactics... but then it turned out that he was a Holocaust denier.

Otherwise, if ants had the brains of humans, they would no longer look like ants, or move like ants, or communicate like ants.

It truly amazes me the human arrogance I see in some comments that assume that it is not possible for there to be an intelligent life out there is smarter and more advanced than humans or that is capable of interstellar travel. Please think about the following:- 1. The universe is 13.8 billion years old, earth is 4.54 Billion years, so there are planets out there that are much much older than us, but let us say for arguments sake that life there started ahead of us by only 100,000 years, or if you like a smaller number say 2000 or heck even 200 years... imagine what our technology will be like in 200, 2000 or 100,000 years in the future if not more. (if you find that hard, look back that much into our past and then look to now, and then look back 50 years ago and see how much it accelerated with each invention and discovery) 2. The universe is HUGE, infinity HUGE, don't you think there is a chance to have a much smarter life out there? 3. Have you seen humans? I mean I am sorry but we are retarded, and the problem is we know we are retarded... we are very aware of how messed up and dumb we are as a race and we collectively choose to ignore that and just blame it on the rest of humanity. Sure we have potential but come on! we are no where near reaching it. 4. we have, even with our limited understanding of the universe, already hypothesized different ways that interstellar travel could be achieved, we know its doable we just cant do it yet. A more advanced race (or a race with the right brilliant minded scientist and/or resources) might have figured it out already.

you are arguing right against the chance of any intelligent life out there in the universe besides ourselves! why? because if you look at intelligent life here, how long did it take to advance to where we are today, and when? for millions and millions of years there has been life. by the way, made possible by our extremely rare chance that our earth was formed just the right distance from the sun. (1 in a million) , that another planet or body hit us to give us the essential moon (1 in a million) that we had just the right amount of tilt in the earth (you get the idea), that we have juniper and Saturn to absorb flying asteroids, that the sun is just the right size and doesn't cook us nor radiate us TOO much (just enough to allow morphing of our genes. that we did have the dinosaurs that died for our gasoline and that they got hit by an asteroid that killed them all , but a few dog like creatures. Now, whats a million^5. (and that's being kind) that's a 1 with 30 zeros after it. trillions and trillions. that could be one planet in all the galaxies we can see with hubble. Im not saying its not possible, but life as we know it is pretty fragile.. look how long it took for us to evolve? of all the species, we are the only ones capable of writing their name down. let alone go for 10,000 yeas and all of the sudden, with in 100 years, go fly into to space and land on the moon) and we were somewhat of an accident. .. If someone visited us and it wasn't in the last 200 years, we couldn't even fly and communicate via electronics ,and if that alien visited us in the last 100k years or million years ago . (out of the 4.6 billion the earth has been around) they would have just found a bunch of animals that couldn't even cook their own food. sure, there could be a parallel earth somewhere , 1milllion years ahead of us. but by our own stats, that planet probably would have been wiped out by an asteroid or worse. every year we survive, we dodge one in a million odds we can be destroyed... so in a million years, we should all be gone anyway! :) However, by then we might be able to bend time/space and visit our parallel earth and find safe haven after our planet is burned up by the sun. so is there life out there. sure, I think its plausible to think that there should be, or are we all alone? odds are its going to be a long shot at best

The Jesuits created the theory of evolution, our entire education structure and the deteriation of God as being the xenter of it all. History tells the truth.

A university study on the odds came up with a number of 300000000000000000000000000000 to 1. Now that's science. Jesuits were created by Pope. Vatican is the beast of the sea, The take over of Gods thrown. Now a person brain washed to say religion is man made, is lacking education our society leaves out. Man has always known of a superior being. Yet has been taught that religion alone has devised it. The Catholic Church is where satan established himself. Great way to mislead people. Protestants follow Jesuit teavchings. Jesus said we are the church , one on one with him, not a building nor mans teachiungs. I know this as a fact as I have had a relationship with Jesus for 24 years. No man can tell me I'm lost or my brain misunderstands. that is utter foolishness to my relationship with him one on one. Soon the Papcy will gain more power and lead the world as America is the beast of the earth giving the power to her.

This probably wouldn't happen (you dont see humans helping monkeys to build a peacefull and advanced civilization)

Spectral DnB Well.. his aliens usually enslave us under a false reality. Which could be true, but I'd not wish for it!

The beset outcome would be to have them simply pass us by.

I dont think they can, we're pretty hostile. Barely peaceful with each other.

I've always understood the scale of our solar system, but never the scale of our own artificial satellites like the space station. We really are just microorganisms on a rock.

Way to go Earthling. Now I can't go to Times Square during Comic Con anymore.

It could also be that "Prime Directive" stuff from Star Trek and not interfering in a culture's natural development.

I hereby declare the "Prime Directive" as the worst, most violent crime against life of all history of the entire Multiverse. _Q_

Dudes from the Bronx so of course he's a genius..

Can you imagine aliens having an existential crisis? That shit would be terrifying.

The thing that boggles my mind on top of all that, is that people think that aliens would want to visit Earth, and furthermore they would pick humans to communicate with out of all spices! Why?! Why do we see aliens in the form of a human? Walking on two legs and everything.

maybe WE are the aliens put in an alien planet Earth were the original species were wiped out

Could be a possibility because only within few hundred years of our existence as intelligent species we have changed the whole planet according to ourselves which was almost same for many millions of years or so..where did that intelligence suddenly came from ? If u say that is result of many years of evolution then let me tell u that comparatively we as humans have just appeared on this planet ... simply see the timeline of earth and u will know how old are other species than us . We have just arrived . If u say that monkeys were there then see the difference between monkeys and us . Even dogs are more similar to wolves and cat to the leopard(differ only in size) but we are way ahead of monkeys and chimps . Every other species is living according to the nature earth except us as if we don't belong to this community .

Since humans are technically blind, any number of aliens could be here now.

Aliens are watching us and going "how stupid can these things be, it's right freaking there"

This man is brilliant.

Thank you once again Neil xD I never understood the stupid idea if aliens exist they must/should be visiting us because you know were sooo important. It is very likely that aliens have discovered us and simply just catalogued us in their database and moved on because were not worth talking to on their level yet.

I feel like they watch us from somewhere to make sure we don't do anything too stupid, but they leave us alone to develop our own culture. Once we start exploring the universe more, they might decide to contact us.

Same. Maybe we have the genetic potential to understand and develop enough knowledge/technology over the next hundreds of thousands, millions of years, to spark the interest of aliens. If we can survive that long at least.

I'm only recently coming to the understanding that our science can only be as good as human periphery functions (sight, sound, taste, smell and touch). To say nothing of the limitations that come with being carbon based.
