Its terrifying if we're actually alone in an infinite void. Its terrifying if we are actually being watched or something

[@hailybywater7839]

Indeed. Sometimes the answer is closer than we think. If we are alone, it means one of two things: other civilisations exist/existed but can't reach us for a reason, or we are about to die out, because limited intelligence can only bring you so far, especially now that we have 'porn, Instagram models (men and women) of lighter intelligence, who are now considered a'perfect mate' by all men which means that dumb people obssessed with 'perfect Looks' are mating with other dumb people who are obssessed with the gym, plastic surgery,taking selfies etc but cannot find time to use their brain in reality and this causes a reverse in Darwin's theory of evolution, where the most 'intelligent and fittest' survive. Reminds me of the film 'Idiocracy'.In 5000 years it will only be plastic people left who will have to 'flex their abs' at climate change, new viruses and unknown bacterial infections, and threats from 'space'. Humans WILL die out.

[@JesusChrist-il6nc]

I personally think this paradox fails to take into account how impossibly large the universe is. On Earth we have planes and jets capable of traveling hundreds of MPH , satellites mapping the entire Earth and billions of people , however if I were to hide a marble at a random location on Earth there's a good chance nobody would be able to find it.

[@Centrioless]

Regardless how large the universe is, the chance for life to arise on other planet (abiogenesis) is very very very small. Even in a perfectly habitable planet like earth, every single organism shares only ONE common ancestor.

[@AC-iz7eh]

Even if life were to exist on other planets, there's no guarantee they'd evolved into an intelligent species what more a space travelling one

[@billsmith2593]

Even IF there is life elsewhere, it'd take forever to know it. Light itself from distant stars takes millions of years to reach us here. An alien civilization trying to travel here would take vastly greater time. Add in that space itself is expanding further extending the distance. Probability says it's likely that other life is out there, but we'll just never know it.

a better analogy would be if the marble was instead a tiny speaker, that gets louder over time.

Nice description, but there is no mention of a possibility of the presence of a creator who created us for a reason. It is the simple, most logical, and most comforting idea

This is basically covered by simulation theory. But it’s not logical at all. First it infinitely spirals into the “who created the creator” issue and we’re back to square one in terms of the big questions. It’s also illogical because of the unimaginably vast expanse of empty space, which makes no sense if we are actually the only thing that matters. A creator isn’t necessarily comforting either. If they do exist, it’s quite apparent that they’re indifferent at best, to the extent that their actions are completely indistinguishable from random chaos and cold causality

[@blackjoker2345]

That's actually incredibly unlikely. It may not be apparent from how little it's talked about in media, but we have a pretty good understanding of physics and are watching the sky 24/7 with the most advanced technology available. To put this into perspective, we're able to detect the trace elements of a planet's atmosphere and crust based on the shadow it casts when it passes a star. For any civilization to operate on an intergalactic scale without us noticing requires them not leaving any detectable thumbprint on any known physics. This requires them not having ships that radiate any waste heat, not having any dyson spheres, not communicating with anything on the EM spectrum, and more recently, not having any effect on space-time(so no worm-holes, no FTL, and no artificial or anti-gravity). A civilization like that wouldn't be operating on physics, they'd be operating on magic from our perspective. A youtuber called Isaac Arthur goes into far more detail on to why this is very unlikely in his Fermi Paradox series. I'd highly recommend checking him out, he has an actual background in physics and will go over each specific point and the math behind it.

[@Macabresque]

[@NotEvenDeathCanSaveU]

I think there definitely are spaceships.. Its imo a pretty easy bet.. The universe is so big only a fool would believe theres no other more advanced civilization out there.. Just look how far we as people got in a relatively short time-span.. The recently declassified information on UFOs didnt help this logic much either.. From what they ve been seeing, to me at least it seems like some kinds of automatic drones.. If they truly exist, what many people even airforce pilots claim they do as they see it often and have no idea what it is, my guess would be its simply something like scout drones, and those surely had to be deployed by a space ship, which might actually still be somewhere in our system.. All of this sounds like some crazy sci-fi, but the actual fact is that many of those things that seem like a sci-fi to us are actually scientifically possible, we are just not there at those levels yet, and might never be.. If those things hypothetically truly are of "alien" nature, my best bet on those things would be they are like some kind of up-close data gathering drones, and if those "aliens" are somewhere out there hiding in our system I would even bet they can initiate some semi-manual control of those drones to go and have fun with our airforce.. Some of those stories pilots have would explain that.. But there is also this question.. Why would they do these things.. Well if you try to think as this highly advanced being, I think you would want mostly these imo top 2 most important things: Information and a knowledge if those beings are of any threat to you.. I think they realized that we are no threat to them a long time ago, so why are they still here you might wonder, and imo the answer would be to a) make sure we dont become a threat even if they had to be here for a billion years and b) gather all the possible information you can about this planet.. Imo the most actually important thing this planet has is the life on it.. Everything and anything that is of a biological nature can have a high value as this is an actual real natural evolution of beings.. I imagine something like that might be hard to replicate even for these advanced "aliens".. It is possible they are making these discoveries in the name of science and I am pretty sure there is no end-point when to comes to science and biology.. I think you could experiment with these things forever and that might be my guess why you might not want to ever leave a planet on which you found any form of life, and might want to observe it indefinitely because you never know when you gather that small piece of data that is missing for the next big revolutionary breakthru in science or biology

There's a great fiction book called "The Humans" by Matt Haig that begins with the premise that there are other life forms monitoring humanity to make sure we don't discover certain things about the universe. It's a really wonderful read if you're ever feeling like "why am I here?" or that humanity is terrible. But it also highlights that alien races may not even want to contact us because we're just not ready. Also, I feel like people's notions of "other life" in the universe is so biased by what happens on Earth. We assume there isn't life on other planets because they don't have the conditions that we were forged in. There could be countless other possibilities that we couldn't even dream of because we just don't have the ability to comprehend them. All knowledge that we have is subjective to human discovery, i.e. if we haven't discovered it it doesn't "exist", so there are probably beings already out there that we don't even know how to look for.

[@JITCompilation]

While you are correct that we don't know everything, we do understand many of the physical limtations of our observable universe. For example, you ever wonder why we die of old age? Some biologists are researching the idea that we COULD physically live longer, but our bodies could be evolved to die younger, as to preserve resources for the next generation. Physics tells us we can't have unlimited resources, so as a result, we've evolved in such a way that we don't use up those resources to quickly and ensure our survival. I suspect that all biological beings have that same limitation, with chemistry not allowing for a carbon-based life form to live outside of the "Goldilocks Zone".

A bird that gains a mutation to have a heightened sense of sight will be able to more easily avoid predators and find prey sooner than its unevolved counterparts. Humans don't have any natural predators; none that pose any threat to us as a species at least. Concepts like natural selection and evolution don't apply to humans anymore, at least not between humans since we've gained supremacy over other species with our ability to make tools. Nor do I think it SHOULD apply to us, as that would be endorsing the deaths of millions.

@@jacobmartinez38 its a short story called radio silence is not really long here is all of it: 36,400,000. That is the expected number of intelligent civilizations in our galaxy, according to Drake’s famous equation. For the last 78 years, we had been broadcasting everything about us - our radio, our television, our history, our greatest discoveries - to the rest of the galaxy. We had been shouting our existence at the top of our lungs to the rest of the universe, wondering if we were alone. Thirty-six million civilizations, yet in almost a century of listening, we hadn’t heard a thing. We were alone. That was, until about five minutes ago. The transmission came on every transcendental multiple of hydrogen’s frequency that we were listening to. Transcendental harmonics - things like hydrogen’s frequency times pi - don’t appear in nature, so I knew it had to be artificial. The signal pulsed on and off very quickly with incredibly uniform amplitudes; my initial reaction was that this was some sort of binary transmission. I measured 1679 pulses in the one minute that the transmission was active. After that, the silence resumed. The numbers didn’t make any sense at first. They just seemed to be a random jumble of noise. But the pulses were so perfectly uniform, and on a frequency that was always so silent; they had to come from an artificial source. I looked over the transmission again, and my heart skipped a beat. 1679 - that was the exact length of the Arecibo message sent out 40 years ago. I excitedly started arranging the bits in the original 73 x 23 rectangle. I didn’t get more than halfway through before my hopes were confirmed. This was the exact same message. The numbers in binary, from 1 to 10. The atomic numbers of the elements that make up life. The formulas for our DNA nucleotides. Someone had been listening to us, and wanted us to know they were there. Then it came to me - this original message was transmitted only 40 years ago. This means that life must be at most 20 lightyears away. A civilization within talking distance? This would revolutionize every field I have ever worked in - astrophysics, astrobiology, astro- The signal is beeping again. This time, it is slow. Deliberate, even. It lasts just under five minutes, with a new bit coming in once per second. Though the computers are of course recording it, I start writing them down. 0. 1. 0. 1. 0. 1. 0. 0... I knew immediately this wasn’t the same message as before. My mind races through the possibilities of what this could be. The transmission ends, having transmitted 248 bits. Surely this is too small for a meaningful message. What great message to another civilization can you possibly send with only 248 bits of information? On a computer, the only files that small would be limited to… Text. Was it possible? Were they really sending a message to us in our own language? Come to think of it, it’s not that out of the question - we had been transmitting pretty much every language on earth for the last 70 years… I begin to decipher with the first encoding scheme I could think of - ASCII. 0. 1. 0. 1. 0. 1. 0. 0. That’s B... 0. 1. 1 0. 0. 1. 0. 1. E… As I finish piecing together the message, my stomach sinks like an anchor. The words before me answer everything. “BE QUIET OR THEY WILL HEAR YOU"

Today my teacher showed us your video in class and I have been a huge fan since 2019, so nice surprise haha

[@CompassIIDX]

I've never been the type of person to fear death, but it does bother me I'll never know what ultimately becomes of humanity. Really curious what the distant future holds. And it will be written obviously. But none of us will ever be able to read the last chapter of that book.

[@MrEnric98]

Same. At least we got to see the beginning of the Internet

[@MrEnric98]

And the Internet may be a tipping point for Humanity. It is said that humans are becoming less intelligent because of it, there's too much information so research is getting slower, and attention capacities are decreasing drastically. Who knows

[@Razo30000]

There’s a really good Vsauce video about this topic, search for “Vsauce what will we miss”

Statistically, we're not the only planet with life. Empirically, we are.

[@disphockunguy9731]

And that should show the bias amongst the establish science community

[@KuariThunderclaw]

@@disphockunguy9731 Not really... technically we could have already discovered planets with life on them and just not fully know it. Because part of that lack of empirical data is technological. Think about it... say we found a planet a thousand light years away that was very Earth-like... now say in the last 100 years it has become a planet of megacities that have completely changed the landscape of the planet, but 1,000 years ago, they hadn't even discovered electricity yet? What would the planet look like when observed from Earth? Figure out the answer to that question and you'll understand real quick why we haven't made much progress on this topic. And that's not taking into account that we can't even achieve clear visuals at that distance.

[@VersusARCH]

Statistically, all or some of the distant stars we can observe perhaps no longer exist - what we are seeing is light they shone years ago...

It is not space or place, but dimensions. Different universes within our earth. Time travelers, spiritual warfare and paranormal places where the dead live. The depths of the oceans, deep in the grass where the complex insect community reside, our own cell structure is another universe. There are angels and demons and other celestial beings that live among us.

[@nicoduran4018]

I love your quote. We barely understand what intelligence is. There are intelligent species on our planet but in our arrogance we deem them below us. Only few scientists are attempting to communicate with intelligent earth species. Maybe those alien species have the same attitude toward us as we have towards mice.

[@NeuraSynx]

This thing they called habitable planets is relative. Maybe there are aliens who can withstand extreme environmental conditions without any problem

[@redbepis4600]

Thats what I was thinking. They might not be the same as us. Also, evolution simply makes life possible nearly everywhere Just look at tardigrades

[@J.C.180]

@@redbepis4600 in our universe, it could very well be the case that the formation of complex, multi cellular life is an extermely rare occurrence, as every outcome to create life has to first of all happen, and at the right moment and order. If this is the case, we could be the only ones in our whole galaxy. But, statistically, there has to be atleast 1 other advanced civilisation out there at this moment. In fact the statement "at this moment" is a very important one to take into account, as it could also be the case that life may have existed in the past, but died off before we came along. So, for us to find life, we not only have to find a planet where the outcome for the creation of life was pinpoint, but we also have to find a place where life hasn't died off yet. Afterall, nothing lasts forever, and the universe existed for roughly 12.9 billion years before earth was formed. Its gonna be tough to find em.

[@acropolis4459]

True, though the video was just trying to find a common ground with the only reference point we have: us.

[@Gormathius]

Since we don’t even know what allows life to start, as mentioned in the video, the elements living things are made of might even be completely different depending on the planet’s climate. There might be organisms somewhere in the galaxy made of molecular structures that would never work in Earth’s climate.

[@chrisofstars]

Sometimes I feel this thought leads credence to intelligent design. Because it drives me mad to think about how ridiculously improbable that the universe even exists, furthermore that it exists as a whole entity, and not just a total ravaged apart chaos. And even furthermore than that, that LIFE exists. Like.. it makes me asks "who did that.." I don't want to start a religious argument, but this is why I believe in "God." From my point of view, there is more evidence a "designer" somehow exists than that one does not. That we are even here is like as if we are winning the lottery every second of every day.. like that just.. does not happen without some haxx.

[@the-chillian]

The problem isn't life, it's _intelligent_ life. Life per se is probably extremely common. It seems to have come into being on Earth as soon as conditions permitted. But intelligent life? There's a good chance it's vanishingly rare.

[@Izeart]

+Lytrigian This pretty much sums up my argument of why we haven't see alien space ships everywhere. The dino's were around for millions of years, yet none of them build anything that could be considered technology. I would also say that alien life might be similar with creatures that haven't built a civilisation and are still living the hunt/hunted lifestyle.

[@the-chillian]

Iceart If multicellular creatures even exist. In our case, it took about 600 million years for life to come into being after the Earth's crust solidified, at the beginning of the Archaean era. But true multicellular life (as opposed to undifferentiated colonies of single cells) took another 1.4 billion years to evolve after that. So maybe not even multicellular life is inevitable.

[@tremblaycallum783]

Don't I feel special

[@the-chillian]

SuperDudu72 I was talking about life, not a particular chemical basis for it. And there are other reasons for suspecting that intelligent life capable of building civilizations are very rare.

[@Diddyshaow]

+Iceart Wouldn't other planets with other creatures still be interesting? And in a way, if we find these first and can colonize them, better than finding another species more advanced than us? By the time we find another species I hope we are at least a type-1 civilization on the way to becoming type 2 or it doesn't make sense to try.

What if we’re just in a deadzone, kinda like a junkyard where we’re in an area of dead plants, solar systems, etc., and in other places of the universe its highly populated, like solar systems with more than two civilized planets?

[@willgotrocks5348]

Highly probable, human minds can’t comprehend how big the universe is

[@8aron]

@@willgotrocks5348 let alone the entirety of space. Space is infinite, it’s just scary to think about. Outside of our plant there is a, infinite amount of the vacuum, no end, no beginning. Just endless space. And the fact that we’ve sent a object that has the entirety of the records of humans 4 billion miles away from our planet. And there is still a possibility. That we will eventually fall as a civilization and that the voyager will never be discovered by anyone, or anything and just float in space for eternity.

[@mrvk39]

considering all the UFOs our military and militaries of literally all major powers see, we are not alone (unless it's us from the future somehow). The fact that we see no radio signatures might simply mean we are the only ones evolved to hear those frequencies. Maybe other intelligent life forms are using totally different methods of communicating, and this is why we don't notice it

[@zerothefaceless4888]

To be clear, UFO means "Unidentified Flying Object". In other words, It's something but we have no idea what. This doesn't necessarily mean aliens.

[@musicbykenny8218]

Yes! Exactly. I mean, we went from the telegraph, to radio, to antenna T.V., to satellite T V. What will be the next mode of communication or networks? We keep evolving our technology. Why not them?

[@mrvk39]

@@musicbykenny8218 exactly! or maybe other aliens simply don't have organs like ears to hear sounds. Some animals on Earth don't use sound like ones living underground like moles and some lizards. An alien civilization living entirely underground would be very hard to detect using our current methods.
