And when he finally arrived, he stepped out of his craft, and the earth was basically a dystopia with no life at all. The amount of time it would take to get here is genuinely that staggering that honestly if you think abt it, it’s pretty believable. I mean, it takes about 9.5 years to get to Pluto. And we’ve obviously been observing(somehow)planets even farther away so it’s not hard to believe that if there was anyone out there, by the time they get here, no one reading this comment would be alive to see it. Which means we’re basically alone. And if there is other life similar to us(not fantasy aliens with super high tech) they would feel the same, alone.

with infinite energy you could technically get anywhere in 5 minutes. The acceleration of an object is always proportional to the force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass. So as long as you have energy you can accelerate infinitely. But there is a catch. No matter how fast you go, as soon as you turn on a light in front of you, it will go 300 000 km/s in front of you... and also go at 300 000km/s for an observer on your native planet. So for you it might take 5 mins, but for your people it will still take billions of years for you to take that trip. So your story still makes sens. Not as it takes to much time for the alien to come here, but in how will the state of their own civilization will have changed by the time they come home from their trip.

You are looking at aliens through the lense of human perception and you are limiting their abilities by which humans are limited by.. You believe that nothing can travel faster then light. Well this is NOT correct. The speed of light can be broken not doubled or trippled but the speed of light can be broken by millions of times, the aliens know how to build spaceships that utilize the zero point energy fields and can travel million times faster then speed of light..Also you may think that because all life on earth needs food and oxygen to survive you fail to see that some alien species simply do not have lungs and stomachs so these human limitations do not apply to them.. You also fail to see that if you found your self on Earth a 1000 years in the past and you started explaining to the locals that where you are from we can fly in helicopters and swim under ocean in sub marines and we have TV and magic communication devices called a telephone, good luck explaining all of this to humans that lived on earth in mid eval Europe for example.. The way technological progress advanced in only last 150 years it would not surprise me if 500 years in the future or less we too will build spaceships that can travell million times faster then a speed of light. And if you consider that all this technology we have today the aliens had lets say 20 million years ago, and if we do not destroy ourselves given the technological progress of only last 150 years where are we going to end up 20 million years in the future technologically speaking? By the way human thought travels faster then speed of light.. If you compare the speed of human thought which is instantaneous in all directions ((LIMITLESS)) then speed of light looks like a snail's speed.. Its like comparing apples to bananas.. Compare to the speed of human thought the speed of light might as well be 1 km per week..

I think the answer is that evolution of intelligent self-awareness is highly circumstantial. Prokaryotic life may exist everywhere you find liquid water. But here on Earth, three key random instances caused it to evolve further. First: The Great Oxidation event likely changed the chemical composition of Earths oceans, causing a microbial mass extinction allowing for the evolution of Eukaryotes. Second: The Cryogenian glaciation may have initiated the evolution of multicellularity. And thirdly and most notablly, the asteroid impact which wiped out the dumb Dinosaurs allowing for the proliferation of mammals that ultimately allowed us to evolve. Now consider that this random succession of important occurrences never happened on other goldilocks worlds and you have your explanation of the Fermi paradox. Earth may be an example of a relatively unique and rare phenomenon where the evolutionary dominos fell in just the right order to allow for the emergence of technological intelligence.

To your last point, we can never know the number of combinations of events that could occur that could cause life to form. For instance, imagine there was a dead planet orbiting a star that passed close to a black hole. The immense gravity changed the orbit of the planet into a more favorable position, and somehow kickstarted tectonic movement of the plates of the planet. This caused geological activity, which when combined with the new orbit warmed the planet enough to allow chemical compounds to form that can support silica*based life (because theoretically Carbon isn't the only elementt that can form the chemicals of a primordial soup.), And now life of an entirely different order exists from some extremely unlikely circumstances, just like ours. Considering how big the universe is and how many combinations of events can take place, it seems more an eventuality than a possibility. I would tend to believe that the great filter is the formation of the eukaryotic cell. The circumstances of their existence are to specific and strange that it boggles the mind. According to the most widely held belief, a cell attempted to consume another cell, however the prey cell was not consumed, and instead somehow ended up both producing energy for the predator cell (forming the mitochondria) and interfacing with it's DNA in a way that caused the predator cell to build a copy of the prey cell within itself that fulfilled the same purpose. While the hand waving answer of "we're talking about a billion or more years, it was bound of happen eventually", is applicable, I counter it with the notion that in the several billion years following, it was not observed to happen again, nor anything tantamount to it. That occurrence, I believe, is about as unique as the order of a deck of cards, improbable to where it will never be seen again.

If you think there is no, or can’t be life elsewhere...in a universe tens of billions of years YOUNG, with trillions of suns, you’re a lot like flat earthers.

The excellent visuals really compliment the narration. Really good work! Subbed!

Maybe this is a strange thing to think about but I love the idea that maybe one day we can make contact with an alien civilization and learn their language and be able to communicate with them and make some alien friends. And maybe they can in turn learn some of our Human languages. Maybe it's because already as it is, I have a huge fascination with learning other languages than my own, and the idea of communication and talking to people in general. I feel like it would be so cool to learn another life form's language. Who knows maybe there's an alien civilization out there that's like us humans here on Earth, where they have different languages and appearances and cultures depending on the region of their planet they were raised. I think it would also be cool to use slang in an alien language. It already can be difficult learning a new language, let alone learning the proper way of speaking it vs the more common slang used by native speakers especially the youth. It does make me a bit sad to know other life forms may be avoiding us if they are out there and know of us, but I don't blame them either. All though we have so many amazing people on our planet, the way our species tends to behave, we can pose a potential threat, and on the chance they've raised beyond that, they probably don't want to start some kind of unnecessary war. So maybe it's for the best we never make contact with other life forms. Our species tends to take anything foreign or unexplainable as a threat, and it would be very likely for us to attack, causing mass destruction and a shit ton of suffering, on our side and their side. I wish this wasn't the case, because imagine all the nice and wonderful people you could meet. You could hear stories from them about what their home planet is like and where they grew up. Maybe learn about the types of plants they have, animals, the weather. Maybe their days and nights are far different from hours. Like for example, maybe a day could be like 48 hours for them on their planet or maybe even a bit longer. I wonder what their homes would look like and if they have forms of education and places like schools to serve the education. Who knows maybe they'll be nothing like us in anyway. And maybe that's what truly keeps them far, far away from us. Because we're so different and unpredictable that they don't even want to risk trusting us. But again, I don't blame them. I would be afraid at first if aliens came into contact with us too, even though it is very cool in retrospect.

I always think its funny when people say "well why haven't we found them" when we've only explored a small percentage of space. And by exploring, we mean sometimes catching planets pass across the sun of that system. Not like real exploring.

I'd just like to say the visuals in your video are immensely satisfying to the eye. I'm curious, do you have your own graphics department, do you outsource the visuals, do you use royalty-free graphics?

we are too far away. and the more "time" passes, the harder it becomes to see them. until it becomes impossible.

We might be the last intelligence that we've been looking for, that's why its taking like forever for us to find new life somewhere in the cosmic. And in my opinion the signals that we received, just arrive in our direction after a thousand of years that passed.

2:05 where is that video/gif from?

Dr. Tyson, like so many contemporary scientists, tremendously confident in knowing what is unknowable presently. This is the intersection of philosophy, science and Logic. I’ve never heard, seen or read any scientist explain to me, a reasonably intelligent person with a graduate law degree [not an appeal to authority folks], how Life in general began for any organism, how the Universe began, how something can come from nothing and on and on. These questions have been pondered from time immemorial, but I’ve never heard a good answer, mostly because we humans are limited in our ability to know, but sometimes affect the contrary, if only to beg more questions. Basically, I’m content to know that I don’t know and that perhaps things may be revealed to me at some point, or not at all. But, can we just agree that as humans we cannot possibly know the presently unknowable? Any scientist who is comfortable in their knowledge of the cosmos is not a true scientist.

How is NASA navigating the Space ships, or the Rovers. Is there a signal strong enaugh to control Rover from Earth on other planeta, and how are images sent back?

I feel like the definition of life is too old, because we know that creatures can adapt to their surroundings due to natural selection, they evolve in so many different ways depending on the surroundings and these creatures may not even survive in our planets condition and have their own necessities to live, like maybe they are in areas with constant snow. Look at viruses, some people don't consider them as living, and I understand why they would think that but they do things to keep them alive. What I am saying is life could just mean things could reproduce in any way, I know this is the most general thing but could you really expect to go to a different planet see creatures exactly like humans, pretty unlikely.

There are plenty of perfectly reasonable answers to the Fermi Paradox. One is that interstellar travel may just not be possible, or at least tangible. Another is that, given the age of the the universe and even the Milkway, few if any intelligent species have co-existed at an advanced enough level of civilization that they could have ever crossed paths. Or maybe other intelligent life just couldn't be bothered to attempt interstellar travel. Just because we think it's a great idea doesn't mean everybody does. It is also possible that an intelligent species did develop interstellar travel, got close enough to earth to pick up our radio transmissions, and said, "Those people are crazy! I'm not going down there."

From what we've seen so far, there have been no abnormal CBR readings we can further extrapolate information from. Now as for intelligent life being out there who can't contact us, who cares.

My own view is that the primordial formation of life is such a rare event that it requires vast tracts of time & innumerable worlds capable of spawning life, till eventually one planet gets lucky & life emerges. These instances of successful genesis are so far apart that a civilization will rise & fall long before the next successful genesis occurs within the same galactic super cluster. What makes contact between interstellar civilizations even more unlikely is the fact that a civilization must discover how to travel between the stars before it's own sun goes nova & causes it's demise. The number of civilizations that need to evolve before one gets lucky enough to escape the supernova trap is probably very large as well. So factor together the extremely low probability of a genesis event occurring & the unlikelihood of any resulting civilizations actually escaping the supernova trap... and you have an unimaginably small likelihood that any two civilizations will ever meet. Also factor in that space & time are most probably infinite. So how long are these tracts of time between genesis events? The mind actually boggles!

@@jadedjay7861 I highly doubt that. I think that if anything, we MAY be seeing unmanned probes from other civilizations launched hundreds or thousands of years ago. Much like how we send out probes but on a bigger scale. That said, I doubt even that.

Vast, mind boggling cosmic distances between worlds is what keeps us from finding anything. Advanced alien civilizations may have technology to overcome these distances, but they would be so advanced that we could not yet comprehend their technology.

I believe there are other civilizations out there. However, due to the size of the universe and the speed of its expansion, we will never find them.

I think it is simply a resolution issue. The more we see, the more we know.

8:40 WOW. He nailed it.

The thing is, we are making a lot of assumptions about aliens and their development. And currently the only example of a technological species we have is ourselves. A species on another planet may develop technology along a different path than we humans have. Depending on their own evolution, environmental factors, or perhaps even their position in the galaxy. An interesting example of an alien race is from the Andy Weir novel, Project Hail Mary, (Minor spoiler warning) there is an alien species that evolved on a world closer to their sun than ours. They have a higher gravity field, and a much denser atmosphere. So the surface of their world was pitch black and very hot. Their species did not evolve eyes, but used sound and a form of echo location. Their language was more like musical tones. Their bodies evolved on a world with a higher atmospheric pressure. So because of their planets condition, they had no concept of radiation. They had not even developed computers or radio. There had been no need to. The long and short of it is, its not that Aliens are not out there to hear our messages. We may just be sending the wrong messages. They may have no ability to hear our radio signals at all. They are not us, so assuming a similar developmental path is asinine at best.

I'm learning more from 10 min yt vids than from my 10 years of public school. Yes, public school

Assuming we are not alone, we have two insurmountable obstacles to overcome before we can make contact: 1) the sheer, unimaginable distance and 2) time, because we are but a blip in history. Give or take a million years makes a big difference as to whether we observe life on another planet, even if it's next door - we could either be early or late in our observations and the chances of us coexisting with alien life that we can actually reach is really zero (this is often confused with the concept that there is/was/will be a high probably of alien life out there, which I'm not disputing). We may one day have to accept that we are, for practical purposes at least, alone.

If, as said towards the end of the video, step 9 is the unlikely one, why is the assumption that the great filter is self-annihilation as opposed simply to physical impossibility? I'm curious if the prevailing theory is that inter-galactic colonization as in step 9 is technologically possible and we just won't reach it because of our own faults. My layman brain could buy that theory, but just as likely seems the idea that interstellar travel and colonization just isn't possible.

Interstellar travel most certainly is possible, simply excruciatingly slow.

One of the more likely answers is that we are one of the early first wave of advance species thus why we have yet to meet any other life as they are at a similar stage as us. The second is that advanced life likely does not wish to make it self known to us and let us advance naturally to a point. Think of it is like the prime directive from star trek.

Fuck all y'all, In the beginning God created. The end. Makes me wonder, if space is infinite, does that mean God is still creating shit and will need to forever since space has no end?

When Fermi made that statement, he was told by the best Cosmologists that there were two or three parameters of the nature of planets that made them candidates for life. Now the best Cosmologists admit there are hundreds of parameters that are necessary for planets to be candidates for life, and creatures similar to humanoids. As the probabilities approach the infinitely small, our curiosity and enthusiasm gets blunted.

i think space-time factors into the equation. maybe they have existed or will exist at some point in space-time but that may not align with ours, or their's; so neither would be aware of the others existence.

Something I don’t understand is if it’s true that life got going relatively quickly and easily in the Earths life then shouldn’t we expect to see it happening more than once, with several separate trees of life with their own independent genetic lineage rather than the single one we have?

Maybe very, very early on there might have been several false starts, or attempts at different types of self replicating chemical processes that might have competed with each other for a time - but its likely during the very primitive era that only a few approaches were remotely viable, and that number probably got whittled down to one - which would have been the ultimate pre-cellular ancestor of what become the RNA/DNA strands at the core of all living things on Earth today. Once those early protein strands managed to become decently established and began to develop and diversify, its unlikely that any other new process would be able to competitively establish itself in the tide-pools and chemical morass of the early environment on Earth, locking the biosphere into a single general course for a long time until these little guys became robust enough to develop into more and more specialized environments, becoming the general branches of life that we recognize today.

"When are all the aliens" might be a better question, perhaps.

"Intelligence is just the right thing to have to render yourself extinct." Wow, that's a depressing notion, but seems likely true. It's probably not intelligence itself, but it's the transition between low intelligence to high intelligence. A civilization has to cross that precarious void of learning how to harness vast amounts of energy, AI, nanotechnology, etc. without destroying itself or overconsuming resources. It's a pretty good possible answer to the Fermi Paradox: it's just extremely hard to stay alive for very long in this universe.

Maybe existence is a personal bubble such is the vastness of space bubbles rarely meet if ever

Personal opinion all these planets are so many light years away, our viewing of their light is as if it’s a screenshot from the past, so we are viewing all of these planets for what they were not current time therefore we wouldn’t not if there was life

I honestly feel like there may be a couple other planets with life but also we may be the first , and it’s our great duty to inhabit other parts of the universe so we don’t become extinct. Because as long as we can outlast we will accomplish great things

You have to keep in mind that Time-Dilation is a thing when you start dealing with extreme distances. What I mean is that the further something is from us, the more time it takes for light to travel back to our planet to be seen. When we see stars in our telescopes that are 100 lightyears away, for instance, the light we are seeing was generated from those stars 100 years ago. This can cause a whole host of issues in determining whether intelligent life exists out there because there could very well be advanced infrastructure present on some of these stars' planets but we just cant see them. Not to mention that if we found any today, they would be out of date equal to the distance in lightyears and (given enough distance) may not even exist anymore.
