Which is one of the answers to Fermi Paradiox. Aliens saw us and they saw what kind of brutal/infighting/mindless/selfish/exploitative/conflicted/hedonist/racist species we are, but they also saw a massive potential in this sea of crap and came to a conclusion "At this development stage these animals cannot leave this planet, othervse they'll burn the galaxy". 2 Things we may be mistaken about ourselves; 1 - We think the human condition, war & selfish brutality the natural norm in the universe, but that's just Earth nature, we have no confirmation this is the norm outside 2 - We think ourselves as inferior to Alien life thus we fear the alien and don't consider if the alien fears us. Now if they feared us why didn't they nuke us but remember 1, that's just our kinda thinking.We went from Wright Brothers flight to Moon landing in decades... We think we made this technological leap amazingly slow, cause we think of our religious, selfish, greed & political inhibitors slowed us down on it, but it may turn out this is lightspeed compared to aliens simply because we are so brutal.

Also if they were advanced AI robots they could travel very slowly from place to place because they don’t have to worry about dying from old age or needing oxygen or artificial gravity on the ship they travel on. They would literally be able to basically go into sleep mode and have a wake up timer set for when they reach there destination. You’re ability to travel the universe greatly increases when you don’t have to eat,drink,sleep or breath. Sorry for the long response it’s just a very interesting thought. On a side note AI is scary in a way, but it could be the way a piece of humanity survives even after our extinction, being we made it, it would be kind of a little piece of us in a way.

Look. If they did exist: 1. If they are advanced, they likely aren't using radio for communication. For example low frequency waves will actually repel charged radiation particles - yea that happens on Earth too and could be perhaps used partially to protect space ship's astronauts from some of that radiation. So could be that radio and electromagnetic type of things are used for some other purposes - even if the use of low frequencies are less used on Earth, something to do with submarines. Anyhow - there are likely other means to communicate. Sure lasers, but also even more advanced. 2. Another point is - why do we think that we are so important that they would care to even say hello? Sorry but no-one is that very important in the vast universe, that some other beings just should have to contact us or reply. More advanced, maybe they really don't have any need to. And that's only if they know we are here. In fact, they don't need to want our planet or our solar system resources or even us - there are billions up on billions of stars just within Orion's Arm alone... what was it like 800 billion. And according to really loose estimates that would leave like 2 400 000 Earth -like planets with similar star type within about 2000 light years. However, 'Earth -like' is actually quite wide description. Making these sort of estimates is nothing but guess work - and having a planet in right sort of place with similar star still wont assure there will be intelligent life on it. First is that planets could also turn our like Mars or Venus, or countless other ways. This is about the only place where the arbitrary response 'It depends.' could ever make sense, without needing to explain all the things something can depend on. Even just the size could have huge impact on end result. Second point is that getting life may be easier than ever managing to have intelligent life - how many times we had re-start on Earth before humans got along? At least five - and that is literally so long a period in time that there could have existed similarly developed intelligent life form with similar level to technology on our own planet - only to have had it vanish somehow - literally leaving no fecking traces what so ever to be found by our time, now that we know at least something about archaeology to figure shit out. There is literally time limits on how long stuff stays around. We may think the opposite, but you know, we don't even find traces of 2% of all dino species that ever existed, simply cause seeing things turn into fossils is really rare. Just how very fragmented the oldest stuff we find about our species already is. And yea, the nature will indeed erase also built environments, including modern kind, it all turns to dust with long enough time. At this point we might be able to find some anomalies in geological layers for chemicals or if some ice managed to exist long enough, from what ever that trapped from air, within it. But then again, similar traces that our civilization is making could also be the result of really active volcanic activity, vast undersea gas emissions and such. Well my point is a bit more simple than would even have required the details above - planet having intelligent life may be far less common than having life is, and at the same time, that life managing to survive and not go extinct can also be a thing. So basically, we may even not have anyone near enough to notice us - even if some planet out there was covered in algae. 3. This leads some what from the second point. Why should aliens need to contact us? Like stated - there is a ton of planets and stars out there. Never forgetting all the rogue material in between. The thing is - it does not need a life bearing planet to mine or extract other resources from somewhere. Besides if those aliens are at that point - aka capable of mining things and traveling between stars and so on - then they really have even less reason to need to come into our patch of the woods. At that point they can likely also build massive tubes or other short of structures with suitable environments for themselves and so on. And if there were many of them - well - keeping your own people relatively close may just be easier defense strategy. So instead of colonizing all over place, perhaps they just build places or even terraform. 4. What do most advanced nations all have incommon on Earth? Places with best conditions for quality of life, when we take any sort of control politics out of the equation. So what do you think happens possibly to advanced civilizations if they are well capable of providing their own kind? Many nations currently are already having issues in Europe because no-one had enough kids to take care about all the jobs those who retire will leave behind. My point is that - somehow having less challenges for individuals seems to reduce birth rates. So it could be possible that space age aliens are not actual expanding as much as we would assume. On one hand, perhaps due keeping close to their own original home planet or because they aren't perhaps having birth rates enough to do so. Well those are few points. Basically - I think that even if we have been noticed - they don't likely need to care about contacting us or even visiting the area where we are at. Sure there are folk who claim to have met aliens. But if those even were true - even partially - then who knows, perhaps the 'UFO' are actually 'time traveling' humans. And nope, there is absolutely no telling that our species would look like we do now few billion years into future. Going up into space and low gravity would likely turn us less strong physically, so that idea of large head and small body could make sense for a story. Even now we are turning more and more 'baby like' aka our features are turning softer, larger eyes and so on - than many of the earlier forms of humans were. And that's been the trait for some time. Oh well, I watched a video with some anthropologist making that point about how we will keep on evolving, but that's what I have wondered myself too - if ufo would be something to take seriously. Sure there can be many more points ideas and possible explanations. This video discusses a lot. But still, I do really think that the aliens don't necessarily need to have any reasons to need or want contact us. And if that's the case, depending on why, it may even will be really good that they do not. We all know what has happened to less advanced cultures on Earth, when more advanced folk from other areas of the planet have intruded into their lands - don't we?

The water's greater density compared to the air is what's making the difference. A helicopter on mars would require the blades to spin much faster than it does on Earth, despite the lower gravity. It may feel a bit counter intuitive. A lower gravity planet (more likely to have a thinner atmosphere) might see instead of proper flying alot more animals adapted to jumping and gliding.

We and you in the video assume that every possible life is like life on earth, but this is such an arrogant view that if we continue like this, I think we reduce the chance of even possibly finding some theoretical extraterrestrial life massively

[@Zbezt]

Whats arrogant about fearing life is we assume such an endeavor will kill them outright which goes to show were not ready for pure enlightenment

[@tapesock1387]

Oh my god… do you really think this one video goes over every single potential aspect for alien life out there? No. On top of that, it does have parts discussing “non earth like” life. No one is assuming life is exactly like it is on earth. We don’t know. Literally everyone acknowledges that. It is POSSIBLE however that life could be universally similar to how it is on earth - we simply do not know

Another possibility is the fact that as we've developed we've stopped broadcasting radio signals as much as we did around the 1940s. Scientists are starting to think it's a blip in a civilizations development so we basically it like looking for a needle in a galaxy of haystacks

[@Godxmilkman]

I think that other civilizations are young like ours and haven’t developed the means to travel that car to colonize or even visit another planetary system. If you think about it we’ve only been around for “1 second” if the earths history was squeezed in an hour. So other civilizations could’ve gone through the same evolutionary processes we did. Maybe they’re not at the same level of intelligence as us yet, they’re farther behind in the technology aspect of things. They would have no clue we’re out there, maybe wondering the same things we are about them.

[@TheJadeFist]

Or they're far ahead of us, tried to listening for radio signals in our direction before, got nothing because we weren't broadcasting yet, and have since pointed their observatories in another direction. Not only is it a big universe out there, you gotta be looking at the right time at the right place with no way of knowing otherwise if it was the right time or place.

[@marcusbergman6116]

It's even more complicated: They might be more intelligent but lack the physical means to make tools in the first place, kickstarting civilisation. Think dolphins with twice the intelligence. No opposable thumbs to make tools means no civilisation. Even if they do, it took us over 200k years to reach "radio waves" at all. We had it for less than 200 years, and if it travels at the speed of light they might be thousands of light years away. And also, if they have, they might have evolved past it. And their radio waves passed earth thousands of years ago if not more. Finding life in the universe isn't easy.

[@amelliamendel2227]

It took longer for the Earth to evolve intelligence than the earth has remaining to support life. We have a moon and the most stable life supporting star we have observed thus far. Honestly, it's better if we are alone.

There is no fermi paradox. Aliens live in small numbers on starships. They do not colonize other worlds. Once interstellar travel becomes possible, due to time dilation, planets are prisons in time, and liabilities to survival.

[@jamesparker3189]

I have seen an alien craft. It measured about a mile wide. It was your stereotypical plate atop inverted plate, with a wide dome up top and with a much smaller more protruding dome on its belly. I spied it hovering above a river of fog above the city of Sebastopol, California from a hillside northeast of Santa Rosa. My vantage point allowed me to look directly at its side. I could make out the plating on its hull, as if it had been patched many times. The full moon illuminating the river of fog enabled me to see it so clearly. It had no lights and no visible windows of any kind. It just hovered there as the river of fog flowed underneath it. The year was 1974. They are here and I suspect they have been here for tens of thousands of years and possibly much longer.

[@marktechsci]

I was close to there in 1974 …shrooms or LSD? 😂

[@sirdanoman]

That was likely one of our retrofits if it was patched. Back engineering of "off world " craft has been going on since the 40-50's.

[@garynicholl8227]

Those navy videos are all the proof we need. We only think we can detect them. I think the fact we know shit about the things we have seen says everything. It’s actually scary to think about the lack of seriousness taken towards this.

[@sr212787]

Here's why, it's mathematically impossible that we are alone. The sun is 8 light minutes away, as in, if you turn the sun off it would take 8 minutes for us to see it. Sound is slower than the speed of light. I forget but let's say double. So it would then take 16 minutes for the sound of the Sun shutting off to reach us. The closest solar system is a few light-years away, so we're seeing it light years in the past as images only move at the speed of light. So basically if anyone's out there they're looking at the Earth right now in the prehistoric past and don't know we even exist. We have only been transmitting radio and video out for a couple 100 years, so they can't hear us either. Nor can we see or hear them. The only chance is if someone gets warp, but when they get close they'll start picking up our transmissions and realize how horribly violent we are and turn around.

[@europeanshaman]

I always thought as if time and space is relative so may be possible that our entire universe is like a piece of mold on a corner of an untouched area of some house. As when we clean dust each particle can easily be a universe. In the same way bacteria is tiny to us, our galaxy can be a atom as well to another civilization.

[@anomalychasing5383]

This. The Moon is literally covered in miniature cities. We cut slabs out of the surface and bought them back, maybe a foot long, with advanced civilizations on them.(edit...long abandoned from what we can see) I have hundreds on my channel. HUNDREDS.

[@Tony_Hughes]

In the hypothetical scenario where an extraterrestrial civilization attains an advanced state of consciousness, it might abstain from initiating contact with humanity not out of a lack of interest, but conceivably because our historical proclivity for aggression and warfare reflects a regressive evolutionary trajectory spanning millions of years. This penchant for aggression could pose a potential risk to the advanced alien race, which may have relinquished any capacity for violence and aggression, potentially compromising their physical attributes and overall survival.

[@Tony_Hughes]

TL:DR: Despite being evolutionarily and technologically superior to us, these advanced beings harbour apprehension towards humanity, lacking the regressive capacity for self-defense inherent in their ascent to a heightened state of evolutionary consciousness.

[@CBBovey]

This is one of the most fascinating videos on KZbin.

[@ctrlaltdestroy8821]

I love when videos like this look at technology based entirely on our own understanding of it. Is it such a reach to imagine a civilization 500 or 1,000 years ahead of us might have the technology to generate artificial wormholes? Or have the ability to create free unlimited energy, which might provide capabilities we cannot even imagine? We keep thinking too small and think only with a human understanding of science. Our imaginations are stagnated by our egos. We believe we are the end all be all of evolution. It’s so ridiculously narrow-minded.

[@HarryCarrie]

Yes we will always be an inferior species to the aliens that have already evolved beyond limits of our imagination. We may not be able to accept that we are far far inferior and give up and even self-destruct. After all the galaxy would already be theirs so any hopes of our future expansion would be up to them on whether or not we would be allowed to explore. Maybe they will modify our genome, expediting an intellectual evolution that facilitates contentment and new purpose.

[@surething716]

I totally agree with you. The majority of those answers are pathetic, as are our imagination of aliens and sophisticated civilisation - we may thank Hollywood for their leak of imagination. We cannot even begin to grasp what the next years will bring in terms of development and understanding, now that AI is becoming more and more aware. Humble expectations for this century - assuming we master the improbability issue with our own ongoing existence - suggest that at the end of 2100 we will in fact be in the year 20.2000 from our own liear perspective of progression. And this includes only about 50 years of an AI made AI feedback-loop where the next generation that doubles processing power and possibilities lies in the range of days, and not decades as it still is now. Imagine then an empire that survives this kind of knowledge-explosion for some millenia. There won't be anything left to know and to explore. What is physically possible has been built. Why should they opt for space exploration? To cuddle their egos? That there are plenty of vermin hanging in primordial levels of development? Why should they care, if in the second they see us they already simulated 10^10! possible outcomes for our species? Observe in real-time what path we chose? Is there any superlative of boredom that could describe this situation to such a being?

But isnt our system unique compared to all the other systems weve been able to study thus far? I remember hearing saturn saved us by stopping jupiters migration towards the sun. I wish we could know for sure if they are out there.

[@SSingh-nr8qz]

Great question. Love smart questions. So to put it simply, no we are not THAT unique. You see the laws of the universe have a self balancing effect based on a very factors and forces we can predict. What makes us unique is event that may have disrupted our natural balance. Example, there is a theory that our moon actually came from Earth after being hit by an asteroid when the Earth was molten and still forming and why the moon has so many element like iron from Earth on it. This molten chunk was blown off Earth but didn't completely fly off into space and settled in our orbit collecting space dust. Why do I bring this up? Without the moon, Human life could not exist. The moon has an impact on our tides and gravity and Earth's wobble. The moon itself serves many functions that I won't go into but my point is that singular event didn't happen all the time. Many have moons formed or caught in gravity in different ways. So while the mechanics of the universe will end up in a predictable self balancing act, the random events are what create interesting variations that keeps things awesome.

[@7evYT]

@SSingh-nr8qz it's kind of crazy how many different things needed to happen, and did happen, for us to be here, right? Or maybe that is just the way we see it from all the way down here. Thanks for the reply!

Even if rare and unique, there is simply too much universe out there, for there not to be other life.

I tend to lean toward the hypothesis that life is just an anomaly, in a time-space crucible of cause and effect. It may or may not exist elsewhere. It's not that bizarre to think that the universe in general though, is just a repeating pattern that is not hospitable enough for life to even take root.

[@trackerjacker5467]

We know that life and intelligent life is possible simply through ourselves. The universe is actually significantly more contingent to life as we know it than was previously thought. The idea that life has only occurred literally once in thirteen billion years across over 90 billion light years of habitable real estate is simply ridiculous.
