EPISODE SUGGESTION: Detection Ranges. Any channel regular knows that there are virtually limitless activities that civilizations may be up to, ranging from campfires, through tiny space probes all the way (and possibly beyond) to moving entire galaxies. I wonder what the detection ranges are for various activities in three categories: 1) How far can something be detected, assuming extreme luck? This could be something like a laser communication sent to someone in line with the Earth just as JWST is looking in that direction. 2) How far can something be detected by reasonable telescopes and it be determined as more likely than not to be artificial? This could be a laser detected by Kitt Peak, with a spectrum, and another at the same location detected days later by Hubble. 3) How far can something be detected by anyone and only the most stubborn refusing to believe it is artificial? For instance, a laser bright enough to appear as a new star in the sky that blinks in prime numbers.
@boobah5643
@boobah5643 Ай бұрын
It's an interesting general question, although since all your specific questions boil down to spotting lasers, the answer is that you won't. Not unless it's actually aimed at you. Space is too big, laser beams too small, and _everything_ is moving too fast.

This feels like "Well we already have it and all our infrastructure is there." solutions. Practically speaking the planets are a rounding error in the mass of moving the solar system so there's almost nothing to be gained by trying to kick them out of orbit when you move your star and most or all of your stuff is already built on the planet. As a plus you don't need to spend energy to protect it since it can survive lots of accidents that would wipe out a ship and it's large enough that its life support system has a pretty big buffer so your habitat maintenance can be pretty delayed without unbearable consequences.

a) it might be a hassle if multi-universe is possible and 'easy' to do, BUT is quantumly random as to which other universe is traveled to selected, each and every time, and thus in practice one-way due to the chance the way back to the original universe is absurdly tiny, and as another limitation being the amount of matter/people/things traveling as a single unit (ie travel attempt) is too small to start a new 'colony'. b) while travelling to a less advanced alternative universe might be more likely, it's not guaranteed - and could quickly win the travelers a Darwin Award, and their home universe as well if two-way travel is viable, where they get greeted with a "thank you for showing us, a new rich universe to plumber ... we won't be needing you alive anymore." c) some of the other multiverses are those that had more antimatter than matter ... so first contact is a 'liberating experience' that converse both universes into a chain of mutual energy-matter rearrangement - or travel requires breaking a false zero-point energy state and triggers an energy state collapse to spread in the universe you are leaving or entering .. woops. (I forgot the correct terminology - but I'm sure someone knows it)

I mean, that would be quite a reasonable explanation actually. There might be some sort of "easy" way to trascend into another dimension where everything is more convenient that "only" takes a couple of million years to solve. That + FTL isnt real would account to why no one proceeds to interstellar colonization, even if life appears it either goes extinct or arrives at this conclussion.

Regarding moving to the core, I've always figured it's the obvious place to head to and look at if we want to find other civilizations. It's the one truly unique point in the volume, so regardless of resources it seems to be the obvious meeting point. But in terms of colonizing the center, wouldn't the higher density of stars present problems? More likely to get disrupted by the gravity of all the close by neighbors and more likely to get hit by a super nova or similar catastrophic space weather. Are those concerns really not that elevated near the galactic core? Or are we expecting a colonizing civilization to be able to deal with them?

as always my feelings about the Fermi Paradox are a bunch of opposite ones... it feels for me that we are not alone... for me it feels like there is a whole variety from thinking zones(Vinge) over Culture(Banks) to Rama(Clarke) back to Starfleet (Roddenberry) or the other Star named Franchises... and all between we can imagine and can't even imagine... The other feeling is when and where... when, are we to late, to early, the where related to when, are we to far from then, and why is that so? the quiet ones maybe close the loud ones to far, the Rama ones are too far developed to recognizable for us, the Starfleet with their Directive Nr. 1... and then there's the realisation, it's only a lifetime, about my lifetime long, than we were looking really earnest for the Others... and someone on this channels always says, Space is HUGE! and there a many directions to look at, so i getting from downed of the hugeness to hey wait, tomorrow can some one looking at the right direction to prove my feeling we are not alone...

Actually, waiting untill the end of time doesn't really make much sense when you think about it. On the one hand it might be true that any resources that you have collected may last longer from a energy perspective, wouldn't it also be true that much of your collected resources would be lost just through half-life degradation if you're waiting potentially hundreds of billions of years or trillions for the end of time.

I feel there's a really big factor here that isn't touched upon is how much rests upon the assumption that the design of minds always remains somewhat mysterious and ineffable. Though maybe you get into that in that nebula video I haven't seen. The calculus changes considerably if you understand all the deterministic causes of a mind's behavior and can either eliminate true randomness or just counteract it with denoising measures. In that case you should be able to be quiet confident in allowing pretty free colonization so long as an overseer AI is present with which can easily forsee and preemptively nudge the culture away from value drift. Though having something to provide subtle nudges to the culture isn't even necessary if you just pick the right mind design for the colonists. After all even for selfish reasons people may wish to choose to alter themselves so that their values become less malleable, so they don't have to worry about gradually changing in ways they wouldn't have endorsed from the outset. So why wouldn't future people just choose a mind design for the children they create (or simply alter themselves in a way that's heritable) so that it's literally impossible for them to end up developing irreconcilable value differences in the first place? Honestly I think choosing not to do this will eventually be considered abhorrent, for the same reason the existence of psychopaths is a problem of evil issue if you believe in a benevolent god.
@vakusdrake3224

@Toxicpoolofreekingmascul-lj4yd I didn't say psychopaths were evil, psychopathy is just one trait that exists on a spectrum alongside other antisocial traits. You're sort of missing the point though that psychopathy does absolutely predispose people to shittiness, it certainly seems like most of the loved ones of people with psychopathy don't exactly have overwhelmingly positive things to say about it, kind of like the loved ones of narcissists. So given what we know about psychopathy in aggregate it would seem very hard to justify having a kid with psychopathy when you could just as easily have one that didn't. If this logic doesn't seem obvious to you I can easily make it even more extreme: Say instead of just knowing a hypothetical child would have psychopathy you also knew they would be an impulsive narcissist with strong sadistic tendencies. At what point do you think it would be unethical to create someone you know will almost certainly cause tremendous suffering to the people around them?

Population pressure usually plays a big role in migration, or at least colonization. It seems that with humans, once technology and the standard of living reaches a certain level, birth rates fall to below replacement levels. If this is something of a general rule that applies to all intelligent species, that alone might explain why we don't see evidence of star spanning civilizations. If they stick with old fashioned reproduction they would struggle to keep from dying out. If they use artificial wombs to grow children, that would mean their government is probably doing the creation and raising of new generations. A government is highly unlikely to over produce new citizens since this would put stress on resources and infrastructure. Besides, a large and fast growing population is one that is increasingly difficult to rule, and one that's given to political upheaval. It's likely such a government would grow its population slowly, if at all, and only boost its population in an emergency like war with another civilization. Even the latter assumes it needs lots of warm bodies to fight instead of just mass producing machines to fight for it. Without large, regularly growing populations, much of the drive to settle other star systems and planets, or even to create mega structures evaporates. The only motivations left are to satisfy curiosity, war, or if the home system has been largely depleted of resources and the star is at the end of its life cycle. This would mean minimal and sporadic migration/colonization efforts, and so little technological footprints we could observe from here. The galaxy could have a fair number of technological civilizations, but it could be like an small town out in the countryside, populated with noting but old people who have what they need, aren't interested in travel or meeting new people, and are content to be practical shut ins.

Why do you assume the government would be the one using artificial wombs?

The birth rates are not due to population density but to arkcyst theories

The multiverse concept is well explored in M.R. Carey’s Pandominion Series; the second book - “Echo of Worlds” - was recently released. Any other good multiverse series recommendations?

I always wondered if the Fermi paradox can at least be partially explained by assuming that we, as terrestrial sapience, are weird, and that the vast majority of sapience is aquatic, specifically in sea water, making it so that open radio communication has no good reason to exist until they have already gone to space.

The mirror to move solar system... Feels a little suspect On first approach my mind rebels against the idea because subconsciously i feel some sort of conflict with newtons laws But more importantly the pressure of the mirrors impulse would have to be so great as to not only move the star but also untangle it from the gravitational effects the other nearby stars are having on it...?

Building a megastructure is easier than inventing space magic - the former just takes unity and coordination, the later... just requires you to break laws of our reality. "The Wandering Earth" appears plausible to the Chinese because they're already building megaprojects, just need to scale it up some more. "Star Trek" appears plausible to us because we're already smoking pot, and just need to legalize it. In retrospect, it's easier to confuse magic with reality than building something solid and real in that reality.

Can we come up with a new name for our Galaxy. "The Milky Way" is so clumsy, inappropriate amongst all the other cool galaxy names like Andromeda, and such a misnomer, named after some Greek goddess's breast milk. Really? Do we call our planet "Zeus's Testicle"? How about Galaxy 0 or Home Galaxy?
