@Adam Parker HaHa! Actually I don't think so 😊😊. I barely understood it myself. The part that resonated with me was that the Universe could be full of advanced civilizations that are expanding out into the Universe at near the speed of light. We won't be aware of them until we finally see evidence of them coming our way which would then take maybe millions of years until they finally arrived. As a civilization, we would just be sitting here evolving and advancing ourselves until they finally arrived millions of years or more into the future to finally greet us. Hopefully peacefully!

You have to remember when we look at the sky were looking back in time. If we're looking at a star that's 100,000 light years away then we're seeing what was there a 100,000 years ago. So just because we can't see anything alien related doesn't mean something hasn't been put there in the 100,000 year since the light were seeing left its starting point.

This reminds me of a book called Cluster by Piers Anthony. There were Alien spheres of influence, but in the book the further out from the center of the sphere were more primitive because of the cost of expansion. The book was about the civilizations spheres of the Milky Way galaxy fighting off the spheres of influence of the Andromeda galaxy from siphon off our galaxy’s energy.

We're not a very 'old' species. Look at the various cave paintings like Lascaux in France. It's only about 17,000 years which isn't very long at all, yet all the paintings are of animals, so even up to then, all we were thinking of was hunting and eating, and keep in mind, the ice age was ending so it was about 50F degrees colder so everything would have been just about survival. One thing I've always wondered (sort of jokingly), is if we descended from bad aliens that were sent here (as you were thinking too), like how England sent their riff-raff to Australia, but these ones ended up boffing monkeys and created humans, lol. But seriously, I think we're just a type of ape thing. There's been lots of research done on this and our DNA is so closely linked to apes and chimps that it would be arrogant to think otherwise. Like I said, only 17,000 years ago we were taking dumps in the back of caves and saying 'Oooga-booga'.

I know of a man, a very reputable retired police officer who watched one for 2 hrs up close and there was a group of witnesses with him and there's lot's of cases like that and the people are on video etc. so they're very real encounters and are well documented. Whether these aliens are from other galaxies or 'just' our own is anyone's guess. I know that saying 'our own' is ridiculous since this galaxy is so massive, but 'our' galaxy has at least a billion stars in it so yeah, probably teeming with life. I like this description of 'where we live': "If the center of the Milky Way were a city, we would be living in suburbia, about 25,000 to 30,000 light-years from the city center. Life in the outskirts is good, we find ourselves nestled in one of the smaller neighborhoods, the Orion-Cygnus Arm, sandwiched between larger Perseus and Carina-Sagittarius arms. If we were to travel inwards towards the city center we would find the Scutum-Centaurus and Norma arms. " Just as Earth orbits the sun, the solar system orbits the center of the Milky Way. Despite hurtling through space at speeds of around 515,000 mph, it still takes our solar system approximately 250 million years to complete a single revolution. The last time our planet was in this position, dinosaurs were just emerging and mammals were yet to evolve."

After they explored their cosmic neighborhood they might find it’s not particularly interesting and love their life in whatever reality they choose.

@@tabj2615 correct. They want to make us instead believe in human made religions.....

I'm not sure why it was assumed that slow-expanding aliens would start much earlier (and thus be visible everywhere now) and yet the fast-expanding ones would start much later. Surely if they started at the same time, the fast-expanding aliens would have filled the universe MUCH faster. The only way the logic works is if you have the fast-expanding aliens starting later than the slow-expanding aliens. This didn't make sense to me. If we're going to have the possibility of slow-expanding aliens, why not start them late, and use that late start as the explanation for why our sky is empty now? To answer my own question, and if I understand rightly, the reason why this is a problem is because if there are only slow-expanding alien civilisations then the universe will be mostly empty, and thus we would be incredibly "early". And since it's unlikely that we are that lucky, we assume that the assumption of late+slow aliens is ruled out. Likewise (or conversely) the sky isn't already full, which also rules out early+fast aliens. So the only remaining option is late+fast, which is what he is suggesting is the case. Do I have that right? Now, his optimism that a universe full of aliens fighting over shared resources would in any way resemble a "community" seems pretty unfounded. We know how things go when different species compete over shared resources. Previously the optimism for aliens being friendly is precisely that we don't have any resources they'd need. This theory turns that on its head. We should be concerned if this is true.

Yeah this conversation has my mind in a pretzel and I love it. But I’m just confused on a couple of the leaps being made in the logic here. Yes, it was incredibly unlikely for us to have been around so early. But the universe is a pretty big place and I’m sure anomalies like us happen but are incredibly rare. For life to have survived this long and to have progressed this far is a miracle as well. Space can be very violent. So what about the explanation that the reason we haven’t seen any forms of life is the fact that there are so few planets with life as advanced as us out there in the universe that none have progressed in their development far enough to make any sort of impact on the universe that we could observe. Or the explanation that life itself is self destructive and difficult to sustain and all that is out there are dead civilizations. Isn’t that a theory that’s out there? That the universe is littered with dead civilization and no life has progressed to the point where they could travel beyond their world?

The model assumes that the universe will be filled up with aliens relatively soon (cosmic time), because it's the only reasonable explanation for why we are so early. For slow aliens to achieve that, they must start earlier, which would also give light enough time to reach us. We would see them, and we don't. Fast aliens would explain both our earlyness and why we can't see any aliens. (However, these fast aliens aren't particularly late - even if later than those hyothetical slow ones - just like we aren't. We're all very early in terms of the lifespan of the universe, but with this model that's not improbable but inevitable. Either you're early or don't arrive at all because it will be too late, the universe will be full.

This actually blew my mind as a theory, it actually beautiful scary and so many thing, it makes so such sense . Maybe chasing behind the light of stars is our other worldly friends of the future 🤞🙏

Interesting model but I find it hard to believe that any civilization would ever expand at a speed close to the speed of light. We have essentially expanded at zero mph over the last million years. Even with advanced technology, we wouldn’t even expand out anywhere close to 1mph. It takes years to even expand out to one additional planet and build something on it.

So here is a rudimentary question. I understand this explanation for those alien spheres/structures moving toward us at the speed of light, but what about those spheres/structures in the universe that would be moving away from us at near the speed of light (I'm assuming such structures would be moving in random directions -- in fact in all directions from their original point of exploration into the universe). Wouldn't we be able to see those moving away or parallel to us, even if they are moving near the speed of light?

There’s a lot of variables that haven’t been taken into consideration, they only look at the facts that help their view look stronger, they mentioned stars being billions of years older that the sun, and that those can harbor life, firstly no, you need a third generation star at most to have the right elements for complex life, even with a third generation star, the chances for the solar system to form a planet to handle life, are almost mathematically impossible, the Drake equation is just a guess, not bad one, but still a guess, even if you add the possibility of life starting off silicon based(mind you it’s only theoretical) the chance is still near zero, if I’d have to decide wether we are the only example of complex carbon compounds being able to self replicate and gather a conscious, or wether the chance allows for it to be more common, I’d chose the lone mans path, plus add the fact that even if life forms else where in this space we call everything, the chances of it becoming multicellular are low, not terribly low, but there’s just a higher chance life will stop at a algae or moss form, calm equal, then from multicellular to human level conscious? Just keep in mind out of the estimated 8.3 million species tracked, not counting the ones forever forgotten, and the 4.28 billion years it took to get us humans, we are the only species to reach this mark accomplishment in thought Just wanted to reply with the fact that this guy might have spent several years in his studies, he couldn’t go out all the way and at least try to look at it a little bit deeper

The theory does not require assumption 1 or 2. If we assume that *some* aliens would be something like von neumann robots (or may be that in the future) and that humans are not unique in the universe, then we may agree with many of the things that he is arguing for.
