Spoken like a true intelectual. This guy says, “Where are all the aliens”, when scientists find undiscovered species on this planet all the time. Only three things one needs to know about this “theory”. My answer: Yes, there is life outside of Earth bc 1. We have only discovered 5% of our own oceans, 2. Here we are, and the “smartest” scientists in the world say, “It’s impossible for anything to travel faster than the speed of light, which makes it impossible for “us” to even make it outside our galaxy if we can barely make it to the moon, and 3. To say, “Where are they all then”, is as stupid as ignoring we find new discoveries in space, practically, daily (just bc it doesn’t make the news like the Kardashian’s doesn’t mean it didn’t happen). Just bc the smartest humans can’t tell you more than they have, doesn’t mean you ignore what they HAVE told you. Your answer is in the very science that exists....

They don't seem to be pointing powerful radio beams directly at us. 3. They don't seem to have changed the sky in any way we might recognize. And all three could be wrong lol. That leaves a huge number of possibilities. All it really rules out is a few (to my mind) crazy ideas, like galactic civilizations, Kardashev scale civilizations and FTL travel. Space is big.

There is no Fermi Paradox. It’s Fermi’s mistake. Fermi’s premise was based on a constant exponential growth of life that would thus be able to colonize the galaxy in a few million years, leading to the question “so where is everyone?”. The problem? There is no such thing as constant exponential growth in the known record of life. Life grows rapidly, then plateaus and stabilizes, or dies off. Every life form we’ve observed follows that pattern. Human population is expected to plateau in the 2050’s-2060’s, then decrease. There is no paradox.

However there is NO evidence that they are extraterrestrial. (Stop with the strawman arguments, they are worthless. In fact, they show you have little to nothing to support your position.) Your 'evidence' is nothing more than hear-say and speculation. Yes, there is a project Blue Book --- so what? Where is the actual piece of alien spacecraft to be examined? ... by whoever wants to! If you're claiming there is evidence without you actually producing it or analyzing it, you are doing nothing more than making a baseless claim. And just what does "taken seriously" mean? Studied more closely? Perhaps investigating sightings as being of foreign origin (like Russia)? That phrase means absolutely nothing with regards to their origin. I have been an avid astronomer for more years that I'd like to think, and one thing that's pretty much universal among astronomers is the silly notions people have about the Earth being visited by aliens ... both now and in the past. If you understood the distances involved, the energies required, the time issue, relativity you would think such ideas as not just ridiculous, but those of a mind in need of therapy.

it would be too arrogant to assume that "the Little Rock" we are living on now in this infinite universe is a place that's huge enough to be noticed and visited by other kinds of creatures from another planet. What's the possibility of two life form happening to find each other in the far far far corner of the universe? They maybe have visited many many planets on which they had found no signs of life form.

“Regarding the passage on p. 163 of the 'Gleanings'; the creatures which Bahá’u’lláh states to be found in every planet cannot be considered to be necessarily similar or different from human beings on this earth.

It remains for science to discover one day the exact nature of these creatures.

You can fool some people some of the time, but you can't fool everyone all of the time. If the evidence for alien visitations was so potent, it would be so obvious asking for evidence would be foolish. But that's not the case at all. The problem is there's not a shred of evidence for this, except for a dozen blurry photos of objects that don't necessarily require an extraterrestrial explanation. Evidence for aliens would be to recover physical spaceship parts, alien body's, more and much more clear pictures etc... that would satisfy me, until then stop being delusional and believing everything is a conspiracy....

Good to see we can have a demeaning discussion about this. Very nice.

Although I tend to agree with Nick Bostrum that intelligent life might actually be rare (the assumption being supported by having no sign of intelligent alien life and the mind boggling time spans it took on earth to evolve complex, even multi cellular and especially intelligent life) but he doesn‘t do those justice who think it might be quite abundant because he just says that hey think it‘s not rare because there are so many planets. That‘s not their point. The argument is that there are many planets _and_ that so far it has always proven to be a good scientific assumption that we are in no way special or in a special place. And to believe being special has indeed proven wrong again and again. So the counter argument is not as weak as he makes it look like.

And then so many people treat it like a real thing, like a known scientific fact. Very annoying.

@@bozo5632 That's true. I think the idea is that if there was at least one with a big enough headstart (like a million years or so) and a drive for expansion (or less drive but a bigger headstart) it would be visible. But even if there were a relatively decent number of civilizations that's not like we searched a lot, also who knows if sufficiently advanced civilizations would be so easy to spot? Do we even now what to look for? We have some guesses, but think about people in the 16th century trying to guess how to spot a XXI century civilization, they wouldn't even know that radio communication is a thing. Also, a civilization could spread far and wide and don't make a significant change in the stars that they inhabit, they could be communicating like crazy through long distances even through direct laser or light signals that we wouldn't still be able to detect, if they discovered some other forms of communication that we don't even know of, it would be even harder. They could discover ways to generate energy that don't even depend on stars and are much more efficient and silent. I mean, barionic matter seems to be 3% of the universe and until fairly recently it was all we knew, we only recently can barely see planets and we couldn't distinguish between a completely artificial alien mega-structure and a planet if we spot it in our telescopes. There's a lot of assumptions on how civilizations work (mostly based on science fiction up to the 80s), the phases they should go to, that they will inevitability build a Dyson swarm or self replication probes (for all we know there could be a lot of probes undetectable even in the solar system, etc). And we only have one data point to extrapolate on! I mean, there are so many assumptions baked into this whole Fermi Paradox thing. You gotta buy a lot of premises to believe it to be a real problem. But the idea of a single or a couple great filters is the one that is most ludicrous I've seem be tossed arround. I mean, life is hard, building an interstellar empire is hard, there are many, many ways in which it could get wrong. Also, it isn't like evolution is this linear progretion that will inevitably lead you to chemistry from single cell to multicell to inteligence, to civilization, to space exploration. That are a lot of turns and twists and "regressions" depending on random mutations and the changing of the environment.

@@SrValeriolete Exactly. I agree completely. Something I say all the time is: We only know three things: 1. ET doesn't seem to be right here on Earth. 2. ET doesn't seem to be pointing powerful radio beams directly at us. 3. ET doesn't seem to have changed the sky in noticeable ways. Note the word "seem." Any or all three of the things I think we know could be wrong. (But I really doubt it.) The Fermi Paradox assumes they should be right here, doubtless wearing tin foil leotards. But that's a wild and baseless assumption. Without FTL, interstellar travel will be slow and thus un-economical, forever, even for ET. (I think it's probably reasonable to assume FTL is impossible.) So, Enrico, where are they? They're at home, doing ET stuff we couldn't possibly see. If they exist. I can't swear to that part, but I reckon they must. Hard to guess how many.

And similar in humans, adaption is our greatest skill. Evolution is not an independent procces, our ancestors even primitave ancestors needed to learn and fail for us to be what we are today. (Like you mentioned, evolution is not an instruction manual) this is were I can agree the term "intelligence" should be applied. The ability to adapt in an environment and take action for survival. The method, strategy or motivation doesnt matter because this would have all been learned from the environment. This is were I believe the filter should be. Any species that are not able to adapt and compete will fail, as seen in humans, a bigger brain rather then body worked.

What about the annunaki ?

I don't understand why there is 'one big filter' surely there can be many, maybe infinite, across the future trajectory of a civilization/life?

What i find interesting is that there has been billions of different species on our planet. But only one species that is intelligent. We dont even know if we sre smart enough to not be extinct before we become advanced enough to truly explore other planets. I kinda get the impression that life out there might b abundant but intelligent life might b rare.

You should watch the sky more often. We will be surprised.

With so many instances of non-technological and non-intelligent life in the diverse history of earth; might help to find technological alien civilizations by first finding non-intelligent life on other planets in galaxy, especially in case of technological alien civilization that might be hiding from us? To do so would have to find ways to detect non-intelligent life on other planets.

But that's not how it works. The null hypothesis is always the assumed one. You can't disprove a negative, and hence while you can claim there's lots of reason to believe alien life exists in our own galaxy, you can't say that the fact that there's a possibility means therefore that there is life... The idea of a great filter is very much possible, since we have not yet found evidence of life out in the universe, much less the type that can send out electromagnetic radiation (radio, microwave etc) or visit other solar systems and galaxies etc ; that suggests that there's numerous barriers that might prevent life from acquiring intelligence. In other words we could have managed to squeeze through that filter somehow, or we are an exception. In any case the universe does seem devoid of life a nd until evidence fornthe contrary is found, the null hypothesis reigns.

I guess the big filter is, not intelligent life, but just life to appear. So I agree that finding life or traces of it in the solar system would be bad news indeed

Fair enough, but funny, for scientists, they just seem to be incapable of asking the far better question of 'why do they not appear to us OBVIOUSLY, in a way WE want them to be seen by us, and the way WE want so as for us to be able to INTERROGATE them, and stick pins into them and so on? LOL

Why would aliens care what we have? We pose no immediate threat to them, we haven't even left our solar system yet.

i would love to carry the discussion more on the great filter part. It seems that we are heading just there, see what is going on around us, how we have developed the means to destroy ourselves (climate change, nuclear power, AI etc).

instead of talking about life in the universe, they should talk about the number of observers in the universe, according to quantum mechanics equations, there is so many observers that there is copies of ourselves with different outcomes in an infinite number if universes

How arrogant can we be to believe we are the only really intelligent creatures within this galaxy, or in fact beyond! Look how far we've progressed in a short period of time with travel by sea, air and land! Look how quickly computers have shrunk from what would fill a room into what fills a jacket pocket and is thousands of times more powerful, the list is endless! Space travel is still in it's infancy and we've had our fair share of accidents and loss of life, but we're getting there slowly but surely. What we are forgetting however is Stealth Technology, again it's something we are only just scratching the surface of! Who is to say that there aren't intelligent societies in other galaxy's that have mastered not only interstellar space travel but cloaking devices as well! Star Trek anyone? If we are being visited and who is to say we are not, then it seems common sense to maintain invisibility especially if having been studied over a period of time we have been labeled as knuckle dragging morons with twitchy trigger fingers belonging to weapons that can destroy our whole planet, along with any space tourist daft enough to announce themselves to their hosts!

Since not finding alien life increases the likelihood that we have gotten through the great filter, maybe that is part of fine tuning of universe / cosmos to develop intelligent life.

Life being extremely hard to evolve is a Good explanation. Also nuclear technology and climate change may make intelligent life too unstable
