"Advanced intelligent life can only evolve in eusocial hives with an All-Mother who can produce offspring of different castes as needed by the hive. It is only when the hive evolves the ability to invent new types of offspring with new abilities that advancement can begin. Non-eusocial species that can only reproduce copies of their current form are inherently trapped within their evolutionary niche, and since evolution is unguided, it will not steer them toward progressive advancement."

Accurate how? If we’re being totally pedantic here, DNA only has that helix in its hydrated form (literally surrounded by a shell of water) and would be supercoiled because even one additional twist in the strand from brownian motion in solution would cause strain that needed to be relieved.

Some additional things to consider: - extremophiles, which push the boundaries of the conditions in which life could be prevalent to wider margins - convergent evolution was mentioned in this video, but there's also the issue of "parallelism", which is subtly different. Selection is thought to be the mechanism governing convergent evolution, but there could be developmental pathways and "channels" that bias life in certain directions and that may work either in concert with selection or in imposing limits to it (cutting off certain avenues of biological change or imposing limits on the extent to which selection can lead somewhere). Thus, eyes did evolve multiple times independently on Earth in distantly related animal groups, and this is surely an example of convergent evolution; but the underlying developmental genes are surprising well conserved even across large taxonomic distances; this is parallelism. Thus, we have to consider life not just as infinitely malleable puty that can be molded by selection in any way that suits an environment, but being constrained (in both a positive and negative sense). Alien life would surely have its own constraints, perhaps mirroring those of earth (in a type of universal parallelism and convergence). - the Cambrian explosion: a period in the Earths history where most of the animal phyla arose. Some of the groups that died out looked veritably "alien" by all accounts; if they hadn't fortuitously died off and instead further diversified, then it's entirely likely that the fauna on Earth today could have been vastly different to what it is. - there's a great speculative documentary series called "The Future is Wild", that speculates on what life on Earth might be like 10, 15 and 50 million years in the future (or something like that; I might have those numbers wrong), based on climatic shifts, geographic changes and the trajectories of certain animal groups today. It has cephalopods evolving human-level intelligence when they come onto the land and start brachiation among the trees in forests (cephalopods are already very smart, so maybe they just need some sort of selective "push" in a certain direction to get them to our level?). Perhaps you could one day do a video on what life in the future might be like and how this relates to exobiology?

I don't disagree much, but - the Cambrian explosion wasn't so much an explosion of new phyla as an explosion of preservable hard parts. But I agree, the ones we have today are all descended from the few survivors out of many weird types, and it didn't have to be that way. Even symmetry. I'm just some guy, but I suspect that the reason the "explosion" ended is that the survivors got good at eating the noobs, which continues today. Woe unto any new, proto-biological goo that tries to get its life started in some warm pond nowadays; a 4-billion year veteran survivor duck will surely eat it.

But I agree, the ones we have today are all descended from the few survivors out of many weird types, and it didn't have to be that way. Even symmetry." There is some controversy about the true meaning of the Cambrian explosion, such as how inclusive it was in terms of number of phyla, its duration, and whether its signal is biased due to the evolution of hard parts (and hence that's what we see because those are easier to preserve). But it's my understanding that the evolution of most of the "body plans" are thought to have evolved during this time because we can discern the remains of soft-bodied creatures that were preserved under special conditions in the Burgess Shale. However, the Ediacaran fauna is even more ancient, so there were at least some phyla that pre-date the Cambrian, and there is at least one that evolved after the Cambrian. "I'm just some guy, but I suspect that the reason the "explosion" ended is that the survivors got good at eating the noobs, which continues today. Woe unto any new, proto-biological goo that tries to get its life started in some warm pond nowadays; a 4-billion year veteran survivor duck will surely eat it." This could well be, but an alternative explanation is that the ones that survived did so for entirely fortuitous reasons having nothing to do with the regular course of natural selection during the explosion. Or, it's still possible that a hybrid explanation is the real answer (fortuity plus the main survivors eating or out-competing the last stragglers of the phyla that were on their way out for other reasons). Additionally, it could have been the case that whatever mechanism was responsible for producing the diversity simply ran out of steam. One idea is that gene duplication were prevalent during that period, and that his allowed for greater complexifiction.

"There are more planets bigger than Earth than smaller than Earth." I'm pretty sure this is utter nonsense. It certainly is if it's just based on a count of known exoplanets. We know about more bigger planets because bigger planets are easier to detect. It has nothing to do with the actual ratios. This will be true for a long time, because, as our technology improves to be able to detect smaller and smaller planets, will also be able to detect bigger planets further away and in more difficult to detect places. We simply don't know how many smaller exoplanets there are. In addition, even if it turns out to be true, it would largely be because of the lower size-limit on the definition of a planet. Observations show the general pattern that smaller objects are more numerous than larger ones throughout the universe. (There are many more asteroids than planets, for example.)

It is not a contradiction, at most a paradox, or simply a figure of speech. Of course, alien life, in general, may be unlike anything that we have encountered so far on Earth. In principle, there are infinite variations that alien life-forms can take. However, once you take into account the physical restrictions that technological intelligent life has to have in order to evolve in a planet, then that number decreases considerably. As it happens, some of them could be very similar to us, i.e. they must have some sort of visual cognition (e.g. eyes), appendices for manipulating things, legs or some sort of mobility etc. That is the genius of this video. It captures many of those ideas.

I've never been comfortable with the term 'alien life'. Since our entire universe emerged from one source - at the big bang - then naturally all lifeforms, although living on different planets and separate galaxies, will still be related to all life here on earth (which itself is derived from a single cell many billions of years ago). So perhaps the term "extra-terrestrial life cousins" might be more fitting name, rather than 'aliens'. ;-) (Which to me always implies some hostile/separate lifeform to ours).

Coincidently I was also thinking about this today. There are so many places to visit in the galaxy itself that the probability that some alien who already visited earth might visit again should be tending to 0. Just see the Hubble UDFs and XDF and you will not at all feel that you are alone anymore. Or the worst thing maybe that ALIENS ARE HAPPY LIVING IN THEIR OWN STIMULATION. By chance if an alien entered our solar system then we'd already detect it. Or we cannot find them if they have already developed the Warp drives.

Maybe we understand the looks of aliens as less as a cell can comprehend the look of the human body which it is part of. Maybe they have evolved to be part of Quantum fluctuations and are invisible to us, because it looks chaotic to us. Just like the "Force ghosts" from star wars?

A sapiens species need something to manipulate things. Tentacles are "unlikely" because of their inability to perform fine manipulation, they usually have suckers on them and very different purpose than toolmaking. The tentacles are not good at intricate work. A human can easily hold a pencil and a drinking glass, in the same hand, an octopus can't. Imagine something "octopus like", but instead of eight arms, it has a hundred. No suction cups, just fingerprint type ridges, for traction and grasping. Each with it's own little brain relay controlling it, and a mind capable of astonishing coordination and dexterity. Such a creature could manipulate it's environment, and even use tools compelently, and with great efficiency. Perhaps even better than we can. It could use five or more of it's limbs together for a single task, effectively creating what we would think of as arm, with a hand and five fingers, but at the end of they days it's gonna require some kinda means of locomotion, some means of manipulation of the environment, but also needs to see in 3D with binocular vision. So it will likely evolve from predators or at the very least omnivores. Also likely that they would form some kinda social tendencies in packs. Unlees they developed a hive mind. The thing really holds back octopi is the parrents always die around when their offspring are born soo no cultural information is passed down between generations. Well, octopuses are really rather dexterous; especially compared to the other animals. But they still have perhaps even more dexterity than us, but I may mistaken. And with the lack of being able to provide oral information, I have found away around that. The octopus has thousands of offspring I believe, and when it lays its offspring it dies shortly after. But perhaps some of the offspring could avoid having children so they could survive later enough to give any information to the offspring that their "sister" laid. And if that doesn't work, I could just presume their life time is extended due to a certain environmental pressure (nobody ask me about tentacles and stuff, but i say it always)

Thanks arvin!

I love this crossover, I’m a big fan of both channels!

Great video! Maybe 20 years ago, I saw something in the news that stunned everybody! It showed creatures that we never knew existed here on Earth. They were a couple thousand feet deep in the ocean, in a depth that was over a thousand PSI! And worse they were living in an area that had an underwater HOT spring of (i think) petroleum or some chemical that would kill humans, as the rest of that environment would. It made scientists re-evaluate life on other planets. Searching for this type of thing, I discovered a new word to me: "Extremophile." - Life forms that are extreme! Thank you Arvin! 😎

Awesome vid! Will you make a video about how silicon based life might look like?

Possibly! If this video becomes popular.

Very interesting and well presented, and exactly the opposite of a video I watched earlier proposing aliens would look similar to us since "form follows function". I'm leaning toward form follows function.

This is too good it felt like 5 minutes.

I still think it's likely for them to be somewhat humanoid looking. Mostly because I think evolution will be similar everywhere in the universe and most habitable planets will have similar environments. Good evidence for this is how many times eyes were selected independently in vastly different environments here on earth. From swimming deep in the ocean to swinging in the trees. Sensing electromagnetic waves is a huge benefit regardless of where you live.

Evolution would work with the same principles, but would not yield the same type of organisms, even if you could "restart" Earth and let evolution process take place again, the result would be quite different than what wee se today, we probably won't even exist, other life forms would have evolved, or maybe even life would not have thrived here.

Another amazing video!

Extremely well thought out discussion. If there is extraterrestrial intelligence, the tiniest variation in the starting conditions may have profound and unpredictable downstream consequences. This leads to the possibility that certain forms of extraterrestrial intelligence may be unrecognizable to us. Who knows how we would response to such variations? Fear? Horror? Curiosity? This is a great video to begin such a discussion.

Testing is required to make sure it is effective as well as safe, and it is not so easy to make them in mass quantities. After you figure out the exact chemical composition, you have to come up with a method to synthesize the proteins en masse, which may require custom-made machines, and you have to figure out a way to store it long term without degradation, as well as transport. Scale-up is not easy. It's much easier to hand-make small quantities for lab testing.

I think life is a symphony of the interactions between the bigger and smaller forces of the universe. Gravity, electromagnetic waves, pressure and even Time and all its mysteries. But the sound of the symphony may be the same, sentience conciousness intelligence love. I dont know. And further more did you know the eye evolved from three separate occasions but developed similar analogous parts. So maybe based on this principle wherever life forms based on the forces and interactions of nature its not far fetched to assume they may look a lot like us than we think. and also its also plausible to assume the conditions on earth are much more rare than we thought. For example the recent discovery that the black hole in our milkyway is less violent than other black holes, the local fluff, etc etc. All these could be factors which are exponentialy rare. Which makes the delicate and precious symphony only possible on earth. And also maybe from earth it will spread to the entire universe.

Appreciate your channel. Thank you for being a science-based realist and not one of those flipped-lid quantum bozos that show up so often on KZread and in your comments section. You mentioned the carbon atom and its bonds versus silicon. Carbon molecules are both strong and flexible while still being reactive under moderate energies. Silicon is too rigid under moderate energies and, depending on the molecule, either shatters when you drop it a few centimeters or you have to hit it with a big hammer, multiple times, to change the bonds. A telltale is when we look out into the interstellar medium. We have identified many hundreds of types of carbon molecules naturally formed in abundance while the next most abundant is silicon with just a few handfuls. If I were a betting man, and I am, I would bet a full course dinner, including wine and dessert, at one of the best steakhouses in Phoenix (probably Morton’s) that of the first 100 separate abiogenic life systems we find in this galaxy at least 99 of them will be carbon based.

Excellent analysis

Hey Arvin, love the content, as always reasonable and concise. Unrelated to this video: Ive been thinking alot regarding new gravitational wave findings. Is it possible now to consider that the milkyway galaxy may not actually be a spiral as we had thought/perceived? Rather than the majority of matter being set in a spiral arc, that it may actually be alot straighter and we are perceiving it as such due to the bend on spacetime?
