Oh please, please... Show me, where it is!

If aliens have ever visited Earth, now just consider this: In terms of distance scales in space, if we imagine creating a scale model where the Sun is the size of a basketball, then the Sun's nearest neighbour, a star named Proxima Centauri is roughly the size of a golf ball (1/7th the diameter of the basketball). Proxima Centauri is roughly 4.2 lightyears away. One lightyear is just shy of 10 trillion km's. So in rough rounded numbers, it's about 40 trillion km's to Proxima Centauri. In our scale model, where the Sun is the size of a basketball, to get the correct distance, the golf ball needs to be about 7,200 km's away from the basketball. In 1977 NASA launched Voyager 1. It's been traveling through space for nearly 46 years. It is the most distant object ever put into space by humans. It is currently about 160 AU from the Sun. But where Proxima Centuri is 4.2 light years away, Voyager 1 is only 22 light hours away. We haven't even managed to make it one light day away (much less a light year) in 46 of space travel. If you do the maths, the journey would take Voyager something like 75,000 to 80,000 years to make the one-way journey (Voyager is not headed in the direction of Proxima Centauri. But if it were it would take that amount of time to reach it.) In that scale model where the distance between the Sun and Proxima Centauri is about 7,200 km's Voyager has traveled roughly 3.2 of those km's after nearly 46 years of flying through space. You might be thinking "Ah, but we could just build faster spacecraft." and whilst that's technically true, it really misses the mark. 80,000 years, even if we doubled the speed is still 40,000 years. Think about what homo-sapiens were doing on Earth 40,000 years ago. If we made a spacecraft that could go 10 times faster it would still take around 8000 years, an amount of time that is longer than the 'recorded' history of humans (not the whole history of humans just the history long enough for us to have any written record.) Suppose we want to make the one-way trip in only 100 years. There is no chemical reaction that can deliver enough energy to do that. What if we switch to nuclear propulsion? Nuclear reactions only convert about 1% of mass to energy, even nuclear engines can't do it. If you get exotic, suppose you use an engine based on matter/anti-matter reactions. Anti-matter is a real thing. Particle accelerators produce tiny amounts of it. If one particle of anti-matter comes into contact with one particle of normal matter, both particles annihilate with a 100% mass to energy conversion. That could get a ship to Proxima Centauri in only 100 years. The 'problem' with this is that this is physics and not engineering. Laws of physics are not violated. But this isn't the same as actually engineering such a ship. There are a crazy number of other problems that you would encounter if you actually tried to build such a machine. One of those problems would be obtaining the anti-matter. The amount of anti-matter produced by particle accelerators is tiny. One estimate I read is that if you were going to try to get a supply of anti-matter it would cost about 4 trillion US dollars per gram ! If that number is correct, then spacecraft based on anti-matter is probably not on the cards. Suppose our ET neighbours have figured out how to churn out anti-matter as fast as humans can churn out plastic. OK but remember that this thought experiment was just to get to the nearest neighboring star and it still takes 100 years. A unlimited supply of anti-matter still wouldn't make such journeys easy. There are alternatives, could you build a solar sail large enough ? In 'physics' sure. You'd need a solar sail larger than the state of Tasmania. In 'engineering' good luck building and deploying a solar sail larger than the state of Tasmania (and how much would that weigh?) How would you even launch it into space? How would you pack it and how would you unfold it when it is ready to fly ? How do you plan to stop when you arrive at the next star system ? How would you keep anything alive for such a period of time ? These are just some of the thoughts that come to mind when someone says we've been visited by extra-terrestrials from beyond the solar system. Science fiction stories allow for faster-than-light travel because the stories would be really boring if the authors had to obey actual physics. I'd love for this to be true, but the rational side of me realises that whilst there is most likely life beyond our solar system, we are likely hopelessly exiled from each other.

Are ET using expert US naval flags. ? We would never think of that.

Our galaxy very well may have a multitude of civilizations....and they are all in the same boat as us! No "warp" space travel, no "wormhole" technology, and listening to the background noise hoping to hear "somebody" when we don't even have a clue what they would sound like! If they have been broadcasting long enough for it to even reach us!

What movie was that in the beginning ?

The question of "where are they?" is inextricably tied to "when are they?" Our signals/technology would have to intersect and allow for the response time to communicate. Maybe once a civilization reaches a point where a small number of bad actors can do apocalyptic harm, the odds are greatly against longevity, reducing the window-of-opportunity for communication to a tiny sliver of time within the billions of years it might take for intelligent life to evolve. Could be that there are radio signals travelling between stars, even between galaxies, that are nothing but the epitaphs of dead civilizations. Those signals will whizz by at the speed of light, maybe we'll be listening during our sliver of time, and then be forever thereafter unavailable to us. Maybe Voyager-like satellites containing AI libraries are the inter-galactic tombstones that archive the best of a dying alien civilization.

Every filter u can think of is a great filter. I just think the odds are soo small but we cant understand ot because we made it to here

I like to think that if there are highly advanced species out there, they have been aware of us since the signals from our nuclear weapons reached them and that they are waiting to see if we survive Oppenheimer’s folly. We know that intelligence isn’t an evolutionary advantage since it took billions of years to develop here and there is no sign of it in the fossil record. I believe that the great filter is intelligence and that it is very rare to make it past nuclear extinction.

Let say alien life did detect out nuclear radiation and or detention or work. That would have to be within 78 light years of earth, and or have probs within 78 light years of earth that had faster then light communication, to even know that we have used nuclear weapons or nuclear technologies. Understand that we have only had nuclear technology for 78 years, furthermore we have only had radio technology since 1890, so 133 years so I can confidently saw any alien civilization would have to be within 133 light year of earth to hear us, and that isn't likely that cause due to our early radios were so weak they wouldn't have be able to travel that far. Further more, let's say they used a similar technology to our to read what's in our atmosphere, looking for key signatures or like (oxygen) they could have know that this planet could have life on it for thousands of years, millions of years, but may not have had the ability to know weather their was civilizations unless they continually study our world for thousands of millions of years. In my belief I would say life itself is far more rare then we believe. Let's take a look at one example. We believe that a primordial ooze started all life on earth, yet we have no figures out what or how that primordial ooze start or what it was composed of, and that having the prefect match of chemical in the right spot with the right about of light/darkness, right about of radiation, gravity, moons, atmosphere is correct, let's just say the change of that happening is 1 in a billion. Now continue let say over the 3.7 billion years life has been on earth, the tittle odds that life will evolve to become intelligent, is 1 and 100 trillion. That would make it so, that the odds of their being planets with life likely, but planets with life and is intelligent extremely unlikely, and extremely rare, and out of the 50 billion galaxies that we can see, each having 300 million earth life worlds which would mean out of the 1.5e19 world that are earth like, only 1500 have intelligent life out of 50 billion galaxies. Now saying out of that 1500 world, how many will make it to space, how many will destroy themselves, how many will figure out how to get to another world, how many????? So the idea that intelligent life has been to earth is low, the likelihood that those 1500 intelligent life world existed at the same time... I'm not sure. Now every number I stated is a guess, need someone with a much high education then me to do this

Our knowledge is never complete. If we keep studying things, our knowledge of science changes, grows, and is refined. But first, we have to be open to the possibility.

I think we'd have been "visited" already if it were possible to travel that far given the infinitely and unfathomable vastness of distances.

life becoming digital is just stupid. aside from the problem of needing computers for digital to exist, in a computer's memory, in a computer simulation or virtual world, there are no actual objects or people or places. in a computer simulation or virtual world, a computer is just running calculations using dynamically updated data to figure out what would happen in a given scenario. Then, in cases where there is a monitor or other visual output device attached, graphics hardware/software draws updated images using the aforementioned calculations. if it does this fast enough, you've got a video showing what some hypothetical situation would look and act like. The reality is that there are no actual things in a virtual world in a computer. at best, you'd have have programs that could calculate what particular people would have done in a given scenario using data about that person's brain but the person that was scanned and then who's body was presumably destroyed doesn't actually exist inside the computer, Tron style or at all.

Considering the issues we are already facing in terms of resources management and availability, isn't it obvious that we would never have enough resources to venture out of our system? The cost of setting up spaceships of any kind in terms of resources to colonize another planet is just too high for us. We are limited by the access we have at start to those resources. There is simply no way to build an interstellar civilization. Plus considering distances, what is the point of having a colony you can only reach in 50 years? We have colonized for resources, but interstellar ones are just impossible for us to exploit. So considering cost and expected revenue, it seems obvious there is just no interest or case to venturing into space or even physical capability at our level.... so if we are bound to our system, chances are any ETs have the same limitattions which would explain why we have not seem them although they exist fo sure... the filter is just physical limits to growth ?

First they were made in the USA, and now they have been copied both in Russia and in China. Now, in conditions of global tension, the appearance of Russian UFO-type reconnaissance vehicles near American military facilities is more than justified. But it is important to remember that this technique is secret, first used by the Americans themselves in 1947, they actively used UFOs for many years... But this technology, plasma propulsion panels, it is still not very convenient to use. Firstly, during the operation of high-frequency pulsed railgun cells that make up the motor panels, strong microwave radiation occurs. It (even when shielded by a Faraday grid) has a harmful effect on pilots. Therefore, it is impossible to fly on these devices all the time. Secondly, because of the microwave, it is impossible to maintain radio communication with the devices. And, thirdly, the lifting capacity of the devices is still small. That is why "flying saucers" are used in secret mode for espionage purposes. However, recently such a spy function has become irrelevant due to the opening of borders and the availability of new technologies (satellite tracking). I advise you to read Christopher Buckley's book "Little Green Men", which satirically talks about the secret UFO technique and the spread of misinformation about aliens and even about fake "kidnappings" to support the legend. K. Buckley was a speech writer for Bush Sr., he knew many secrets.😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

What if other civilizations are NOT technologically advanced? We seem to assume that others in the universe are so much farther along. Without actually being able to "Date" time, it's conceivable that others may just beginning...so to speak.

I always thought, why would aliens come with such few numbers. Why wouldn’t the send an armada? what’s the point of sending one have it captured and then only send one more.

We would send robots before sending humans. When we send humans I bet we don't send thousands or even hundreds.

You're assuming that all aliens are just as power hungry, evil, and greedy as humans are. That's a thought process, brought upon by the belief that we are the epitome of evolution, and that all other species must be just like us, or, worse, just more technologically advanced.

Aliens, may not be curious about us, and they could be at a wavelength, beyond our ability to observe them.

Or there ain't none.

Unfortunately for us humble ordinary people, the truth will always be kept with some who are blessed with the ability to line up words and sentences that sound sophisticated for us to understand or make sense with; or those who control some sort of military capability and are so secretive that they would keep us guessing what their own fart would actually smell like.

Where I ask do we get our endorphins from if we are no longer in a human body or how do we fall in love if we are part of the machine and does this mean chemistry will become irrelevant. Feelings is what makes us do great things and Master aliens must be biological I'm sure.

Sure, why not?

Science goes by facts, logic, and evidence. We must use science, technology, AI, AGI, and ASI to find out if there is (intelligent) life in the universe. Against all odds, so far no ET has found us and we have found no ET. 💕☮🌎🌌

"What is your favorite solution to the Fermi paradox?" - that we are the first.....

You left out the Asshole Hypothesis; it's one step beyond the Zoo Hypothesis. Aliens have been studying our nonstop wars, depravity, genocides, slavery, deliberate spreading of disease and famine, terrorism, self-declared messiahs and cult leaders that advocate jihad and "holy war", burning of books, torture of heretics (anyone that questions "the faith"), continual rape and murder of innocents, glorification of serial killers and mass murderers as entertainment, and said "no, no, no. We're not touching that with a deep space probe"; and placed warning buoys around us in space. That would be the smartest thing they could do.

Dr. Tyson, how do you explain Skinwalker Ranch? Seeing grainy military videos still shows "something" speeding through the sky and going underwater?

We can't be alone when we can put life on other planets ourself to compete with lmao

Maybe they just don't care about us, maybe we are the ones with the higher technology.

No matter how I agree there's yet "no evidence" of ETs, no matter how big the cosmos is, and no matter how difficult it is to reach a galaxy-class civilization status, I just cannot look up into the universe and think we are "alone." It's just too preposterous and smacks of many other kinds of human vanity which we've outgrown (more or less).

when i started to watch Star trek Uhura the communication chief was communicating like a telephone operator with headset when i started to watch Star Wars the 'auto pilot' in the viper was a graphical nightmare when i started to watch Blake Seven the main computer Zen was Chat GPT with a voice. All scientific musing about aliens/space are projection of humanity and their current state of science/technology. So we can discuss all day about hypothetical scenario's, but in the end of the day we stare at our own projection. Just as within religion where it's called SPAG. Self Projection As God. Therefor this ''we could be part of an alien's game, matrix, computer rendering'' bla bla bla is CURRENTLY very popular. Simply a projection of our current idea's and time frame, but nothing is anything more than SPAG.

If there is so much gold in the world, why is there none in my pocket right now? it’s a nonsense paradox

Faster than light travel seems to be related to nuclear energy for sure. That's why the aliens are interested in our nuclear tech.

They don't exist in the form of an EXTERNAL entity. Advanced species exist, in the seas and in the skies of earth.

Have you seen them Neil.? 9 footers in Texas. 10 footers in Vegas. and they do not need to carry step ladders. ?

"Beam me up Scotty, there's NO intelligent life on this planet." --JTK

Cosmos are Just 2 big

Life evolves like us, into us, that is any life sustainable planet would share a very strong similarity of evolutionary growth like Earth, so other aliens from other planets I would assume may be like us, perhaps, different "races" of sorts but nothing like our imagination such as in Star Wars or Star Trek. We didn't evolve with wings, antenna, or four arms because of the natural processes of adaptability from hominid primate mammals.

Our star does not shine brightly enough to attract attention amongst the other 2 billion stars. If they are here then they discovered us by accident. The problem is this, the Pheonix lights, this thing that flew over that blocked out the stars was huge and then it just took off, being chased by 2 F16s. They turned off the ready to launch ICBMs. One landed outside a nuclear base and left marks on the forest floor + radiactivity. But the woohoo got him, that was a duck of around 1 metre. IMHO. !

yeah when people understand how small we are compared to other objects it will be easier to comprehend the possibilities of other life forms

My main concern is we have zero idea how or why other life forms will or may act. Especially the average punter commenting on you tube. We can only use or human biases to imagine who what why etc...

How many exo planets are in clean solar systems. This planet has been hit with several impacts that we know have reset live on a global scale.

So, where in the heck are they?. With our current technology trying to cross our galaxy, it would be like a snail trying to cross planet earth.

Why would they have any interest in our situation? Much nicer planets to visit for a beach holiday.

Maybe, we only need one lineage. Maybe, we're the first or the last. Most likely the first, or there might have been relics floating around, somewhere. Maybe, earth is where all aliens originate. Maybe, we become all other life. Maybe, we create all other life. Maybe, one day, IF we are the first and our lineages and our creation's lineages, intermingle and become one lineage. Maybe, one day that will happen, maybe one day, it did happen, maybe one day, we'll forget that it was ever so. Who can say? Maybe, someone else. probably not an Abrahamic god-figure, though, that's certain.

I think if aliens had the choice between space exploration vs VR simulation I think most would choose vr.
