You can find “The War of the Worlds” (1898) in audiobook format at LibriVox. There are currently five versions available, “versions” being the same story, but read by a different Reader. You were correct that H.G. Wells was the author, and Orson Welles, and the Mercury Theatre, did the radio broadcast version of the story (1938). Great reaction, by the way. 👍🏻

This is extremeley useful to understand the impossibility of the existence of life exlusively on Earth: it's just statistically impossible in such vastness and with those numbers, since life is just a chemical matter and the conditions for it to exist can be found throughout the universe. We're not special nor significant in the universal scheme.

[@webx135]

On the grand scale, we actually aren't "super" tiny. It's just that the range of scales is insane. The universe also gets WAY tinier. But we're kinda smack in the middle in terms of overall size. Here's a chart. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5a/Scales_of_size.jpg Basically everything interesting happens in the middle. But it DOES mean we don't get to just "hop to another planet" if we can't live on this one anymore.

[@ronaldluning4010]

From other astrophysics videos I'm a bit confused by some of the numbers. Others say the observable universe has a radius of 13.5+- billion light-years, past that it's expanding faster than the speed of light and therefore unobservable. Also advanced civilisation will be able to detect beyond the quantom, so humanity is probably fairly noisy to those beings, hopefully it doesn't sound like the dinner bell to them. Contact is a good movie to watch for extraterrestrial entertainment. Eric Von Donican; I probably spelt that wrong; alternative ideas on extraterrestrials. A lot of his ideas make sense, some a little much.

One of my favourite thoughts is that Dinosaurs were around for approx 150 million years and were doing OK until an asteroid wiped them out. Homosapiens have only been around for 20,000 years and technology and reason was only employed 300 years ago. Electricity has been utilised for 100 years. Dinosaurs had no use for any of these thing. What if the asteriod never hit? What if all the other planets that could support life started out the same way as ours? What use would Dinosaurs have trying to discover other life forms on other planets? But then I think what if another planet didn't have Dinosaurs and went straight to a sentient species. They would have 200 million of years advantage over us! How could we possibly communicate? But then, the Universe is 13.8 Billion years old, they would still be limited to the speed of light as it's a universal speed limit. I think wer're in for a long wait.

I live in Sweden and a couple of years back I had a long-distance Australian GF. As it happened I traveled there to meet her and her family (we first met in Sweden while she was on holiday). The flight took 26h with two stops, one in Dubai and the other one in Singapore. When flying from Singapore I had an entire four seat mid row to myself and decided to stretch out for some sleep. I woke up roughly 5 hours later and turned the seat screen on. It showed that we had been flying for 5,5 hours and we were over the middle of the Indian ocean. Vertigo hit me like a truck. I realized that if we were to have engine troubles right then and there it would be at least 5 hours in any direction to reach land. I nearly puked. So to answer your question: no, I don't think I'd be mentally stable enough to endure an 8 month journey to The Red Planet if merely 5 hours almost broke me.

Samma här, Janne. But going on a space mission would be different, since you've got a greater cause than yourself going on that journey, a sacrifice for humanity's progression of sorts since I doubt you'd come back from Mars. Like going to war for 8 months for example, you wouldn't go there for yourself or your relationship with a person you hold dear. You'd do it fully knowing you'd never come back, even if you survived the journey to Mars. And while flying over that ocean I assume you didn't contemplate that it could be stressful before you walked onto the plane so to speak.

[@Algorythmfpv]

I know, going to space seems fun, but if you have a malfunction you're literally drifting until you die, and then your body will drift for eternity, or until your ship crash lands into something LOL TERRIFYING

[@dahlizz99]

@@Algorythmfpv yes that's what I mean. I'd never wanna go ton space. But what I mean is that if you were to ever choose to go to Mars you'd have thought about the risks first and accepyed the fact that you'll probably never see Earth again and likely not even get to Mars either. So you've already accepted your fate in that sense before you go on the trip which OP hadn't when he stepped on that plane. If he had realized he'd get terrified by flying over the ocean beforehand perhaps he wouldn't have made the trip or he would've at least expected the terrifying feeling and that might have been a calming factor since the goal would've justified the trip so to speak

When we looked up you could see the milky way and this was both of our first times seeing it. We stood out there for more than 15 minutes on the side of the road just staring at it.

*Alright, I wrote somewhat of an essay but I hope you'd be willing to read it when you get the chance (:* What you said at 5:57 is something I agree with up to a certain extent though; I feel like it's not for us to say in the end whether it's more or less likely for what *type* of life on the planets would be. But I also feel like we can't say there aren't forms of life that at least have somewhat similar characteristics to ourselves and the life on this planet. So, we have the scale of the universe, and then we also need to consider the age of it as well, and how recently homo sapiens evolved from homo heidelbergensis. I think we as a species are something like 200,000 years old. The Earth is around 4.6 billion years old, we've been around for about 0.0004% of its existence. Life's been on Earth for about 3.7 billion years, we would be 0.0005% of that timespan. The age of the entire universe is around 13.7 billion years, with the Milky Way galaxy itself being about 13.6 billion years old. Our existence is about 0.0001% of both, essentially. Earth's age is 30% of both their ages. We're very new as a species, there are definitely an incomprehensible amount of unknowns to what lies out there. If we put it into perspective though that there is a pattern of stars and planets that developed alongside each other, with 100 billion being the estimate in a single galaxy, and 100 billion galaxies being the estimate in the universe or something, I think it would be safe to assume that there is life that is "humanoid" out there, or life that we can't even really comprehend as life. Technology that could be so advanced that we can't perceive it in the same way that we don't have the ability to perceive or use echolocation in the same way bats and dolphins do. It would certainly be safe to assume that there is wildlife somewhere in our own galaxy, opposite to our own small corner, safe to assume there are civilizations who maybe even have the same mindset as we do, safe to assume that there are other cultures and cities and forms of entertainment and religions and careers and life being lived that would have similarities to our own but still "alien". Trees in nature all have similar patterns to them despite being different species in different climates. They have branches, trunks, leaves, and some bear fruits. We can see patterns of body structure in different animals of different species, and also unique attributes to them all as well. A wolf and deer both have four legs, both have teeth, both have a brain, but they are also completely different in the sense that one has hooves and the other has paws with claws, one is herbivorous and the other is carnivorous. Humans and chimpanzees have similarities such as opposable thumbs, are bipedal, omnivorous. Yet one has a more expansive ability to use their attributes to mold from Earth's resources these complex, patterned physical structures that each have a different use to them, as well as the expanded ability to apply meaning through the utilization of abstract thought and concepts; the other does not. Researchers of chimpanzees keep a distance from them while studying them in the wild given the fact that they have the tendency to freak out over the objects and tech we have. They don't seem to be able to understand that the researchers are not threats, despite them having their own social structures and rules. Of course they would attack us, because we're not completely known to them, especially a group that has never seen us before. Their *initial* instinct is to protect themselves from any potential threats, and the way we look and what we have would definitely be a trip to see. Maybe there's like an uncanny valley effect for them. It could very much be similar for any lifeforms that are more evolved than us who are equally into researching the universe surrounding them. They might observe us from far away, because their technology allows them to, and know based on observing the patterns of our current societies that we might not be able to necessarily "handle" seeing them enter our atmosphere. Even though some of us would probably be excited and in awe, others would find it to be threatening, and even those of us that are excited and curious would also have the same instinct of fear and uncertainty toward them. I'm convinced we couldn't possibly be the only ones, it feels like the way many view the "lack of evidence" of more advanced or equally evolved lifeforms as us as being proof of them not existing at all is like a modern version of geo-centric thought but more species/life focused. That doesn't make me want to go out and create conspiracy theories though, either, because life still goes on and we're human beings living human lives. There are still things to experience and discover, and the mere fact that nature manages to evolve a species that engages with abstract thought, more complex concepts and systems, and expanded forms of entertainment and creation, is ultimately MAGICAL. It really does seem like the universe is some what of a "logical artist", and one that we can never fully comprehend nor place a personality upon because it is beyond all of that. Fucking astonishing.

This what people in the 1700s would've said if you asked them if it's possible to travel from Europe to North America in under 8 hours. Distance is only a temporary barrier. Once you develop interdimensional or warp capability, the distance between two stars becomes irrelevant. Consider this: In the late 1800s, the _Pony Express_ was the fastest way to relay messages between Missouri and the west coast. The "fastest" at that time was *_10 DAYS._* Then we developed the _telegraph,_ and a message could be relayed between London & New York in a few minutes. Then came the telephone and the Transatlantic cable, allowing communication between London & NY to be virtually instantaneous. Then came the Internet, and we can now live-chat with high-quality video to anywhere in the world, *_instantaneously._* So in just a span of 160 years, technology opened live, video communication to the entire world. The distance between stars only seems impossible to you because you are viewing it through the lens of present-day technology. The riders for the Pony Express could not have envisioned something as complex as a global internet; they viewed communication through the lens of 1860s tech. In a thousand years, everything you consider "cutting edge" today will be as backward and primitive as tech from 1023 AD seems to you. The world will be unrecognizable, and a visit to Proxima Centauri will probably be equivalent to you driving about 30 miles to a nearby town.

"i dont think so" well we do know how some things in existance work pretty well. The "observable universe" is actually shrinking by the second as many objects trvel away from us and we travel away from them, while nothing can move faster than the speed of light, its absolutely impossible as travel at lightspeed requires infinite energy or no mass at all, we can go at speed X in direction A and something else at Speed Y in direction B so relative to us things appear to move away faster than light, effectively meaning that in a few billion years our night sky, if earth sstill existed, would be pitch black and absolutely dark as all stars will have left the observable horizon. Or just exploded. as the universe is expanding indefinitely there will be a day, when all energy and mass is infinitely distriubuted meaning there wont be any place in the universe where you can observe anything and everyting that still exists is pitchblack and almost near absolute zero temperature. That is the fate of our universe in the end. And while by pure chance there basicly must be civilised alien life out there, it may have already stopped existing as we are extremely lucky our planet made it this long, or it may start existing when we are long gone. But even if alien life exists right now with us, the chances of us ever making contact are basicly zero.

You should watch the Life Beyond series by MelodySheep

[@cobba42]

On the topic of possibility of life on other planets, you could look up the "Drake Equation". I believe Dr. Becky made a video about it: "Do ALIENS exist? | An astrophysicist's perspective"

[@davidraveh5966]

You should consider reacting to "history of the world, I guess"

[@djjam9073]

It's a very interesting topic although I will likely never delve into learning anymore than what I do watching these videos. I still enjoy watching them. Thanks for sharing your perspective on this topic. ✌️✌️🤗💛💛💯💯

[@orangechev79]

They did another video call the ocean is way deeper then you think

[@MrBurt3000]

Any video by RLL is worth a watch. Been watching his channel for quite some time now. A lot of people like the one How the ocean is way deeper than you think. Similar concept but going in rather than zooming out in a sense.

[@NoProtocol]

I’ll check that one out! Thank you

[@olehaugan9555]

I like tthos video in general, but I hate the pluto comparison he makes. No one have seen pluto, and if you don't know the actual size the comparison doesn't work at all

[@Wirmish]

Pluto is about 1/6 the width of Earth.

[@ryanwoolsey6972]

If you want something similar to this, or at least in the same vein, check out ‘Timelapse of the Future: A journey to the end of time’ it’s incredibly interesting, you’ll love it, it twists your mind…:)

[@karlrichardson3295]

I can remember seeing the deep field view for the first time when it was made public ... it changed my life As an answer too your question yes I would move too Mars My name means born free and I see exploration as one of the greatest expreshions of freedom their is.

The video "The history of the entire world, I guess" is very well put together and done in an entertaining way. I also think you would like "Sam Harris - Taking the red pill on free will ".

[@rir5169]

Pleas react to ...The Eagle EXTENDED Retirement Documentary.... its really good vedio of khabib Nurmagomadove

[@nickhaas9185]

Please do The History of the Entire world I guess.

[@ragefast2813]

I second that request. Bill Wurtz made 2 great videos: The History of Japan, then The History of the Entire world, I guess. When History of Japan got such a positive response he got a huge amount of requests to do specific countries next. Instead of deciding on one he did them all . He spent a year researching and making The History of the Entire world, I guess. It was well worth the wait.

[@mldenman]

You are extremely intelligent and interesting in your videos. And for a reason I can’t explain, my heart melts. Keep doing you. Very entertaining.

[@nukiesduke6868]

220 TRILLION galaxies just in the OBSERVABLE universe is absolutely mind blowing insane. Considering how huge just our galaxy is and we can't even accurately see what's on other planets in our own galaxy that's just nutty. There would be life out there that would shake us to our core.

[@richarddixon4303]

Seen this video multiple times glad to be watching it with you today. It never gets old

[@iAndroidRICK]

I recommend watching "the egg - a short story", i wont ruin the surprise but will vaguely discribe what it is about. A possible methaphysical explanation of the afterlife and conversion of energy, and what it could all mean. one of my favorite animations, EVER.

[@loganbigears]

I have two Border Collies... so no, I don't think a life on Mars would work for them (and subsequently, me). One dog (Whiskey) gets sick in the car going to the vet 10 minutes away... So, if it takes 9 months to get to Mars - and he vomits every 10 minutes - that equals 394,200 alimentary canal spasms. Maybe I can take him to the moon - but Mars is right out

[@billstephens396]

[@richardsaid973]

2:40 unfortunately, it is likely impossible to fix. Nothing with mass can travel faster than light. There MAY BE a way around this however that information probably wouldn't be TRAVELLING through physical space.

[@michaelccopelandsr7120]

My idea so I get to name it! Voyager 1 is now in interstellar time or "Mikey's Time." Think of it like Alvin and the chipmunks. "Vyger's" message is sped up now that it's outside our suns time bubble or "Terran Time." It would be faster still if "Vyger" sent a message from beyond the Milky Way's time bubble. (That name is still up for grabs.) Then there's Outside the Local Group time bubble, so on and so on until we get to the, "True Interstellar Time Standard." Now that "Vyger" is in interstellar space, it's also in the Milky Way's STANDARD, faster moving, interstellar time or "Mikey's Time." This can be proven by turning off everything except its clock and transmitter. Have "Vyger" and the IP read time for as long as possible. They WILL show the flow of time speeds up the further away you from any celestial bodies. Until you reach the time standard. •Our sun's time bubble: "Terran Time" we know and have measured. •Milky Way's time bubble or "Mikey's Time." The rate/flow of TIME outside any influence but within the Milky Way: We just got there and are still figuring. Wild guess I'd say time will increase in speed, now and until Vyger is outside the Ort cloud .007-.07% faster, maybe. Just for reference. •Local Group's time bubble or the rate/flow of time outside of any influence but within the Local Group: Name still open and unknown. Wild guess .08% to a couple seconds faster, maybe. Used just for reference. •Outside any influence in the, "True Interstellar Time Standard," or...;-P Name NOT up for grabs BUT just begging to be measured. The rate/flow of time is fastest here so, surfing time here is choice. Though it's best to have your motor boat. ;-P A minute is a minute in all. It's the rate/flow I'm talking about. The Milky Way's Interstellar Time Standard will be known as, "Mikey's Time." Pass it on, please and thank you.

[@mynameishades2113]

You're a bright ray of light compared to most dumb people watching this video. And you have a charming smile. Thanks for this reaction

[@Miskolcer]

Mars is 225 million kms from Earth??....mmmm...NO!! It is 225 m kms from the Sun! and 75 million km-s from Earth, (on average) when it is close to it. The closest distance was 57 million km in 2003, but the 403 million km distance from Earth is true, when they are on opposite sides of the Sun.

[@marksmadhousemetaphysicalm2938]

Nuclear thermal propulsion or even better, Nuclear fusion propulsion…laser pushed star sails would be an answer possibly too for interstellar travel…25% to 50% the speed of light…or anti-matter allowing for a more reasonable speed…75% to 90% with fusion boosters to assist…we don’t have a GUT yet, so that question (FTL) remains unknown, although I’m skeptical as to whether relativity and quantum theory can be wed outside a very crude shotgun wedding by modifying both in some weird ways…(modified gravity and addition of other spatial dimensions, etc) … anyway, as an amateur astronomer having taken some courses at uni and an astrophysics class at school too…this episode is still awesome that he made…

[@deejayturtle]

@No Protocol We are so amazingly insignificant that the magnitude of our insignificance makes us significant. Let that sink in for a second. I'm sending a cple motivational images I made relating to this topic to your instagram. Feel free to use them as posters, teachers aids etc.

[@thelist5677]

Lovely Video as Always: I saw the video you were watching on this video and it's interesting. I'm not into the Moon Landing for me, whether it was done or not, what's surprising for me is how we got to Land on the Moon, and said it was Human's Greatest Achievement .......then.....went right back to "Barbaric CONFLICTS, INVASIONS and WARS, and yet still practice Racism in Organsization, so am sorry it was Not an achievement for me by Humans but a setback. *My Opinion.....Anyway always love your insidght on your videos....Thanks.

[@gkiferonhs]

Since you enjoy ideas like "are we a simulation", you might enjoy this book: The Planiverse: Computer Contact with a Two-Dimensional World by A.K. Dewdney. much better than Flatland.

[@iggtastic]

There's a really good science fiction detective novel called Altered Carbon (adapted into a sort-of-OK Netflix series) that goes into space colonization. It essentially describes the process whereby all of Earth's most daring, adventurous types leave to explore other worlds. Earth societies, now without all of the most dynamic risk-tolerant people, stagnate. I think that's a very interesting hypothetical. Seems like it could very well be true.

[@nwj03a]

Seen this video before and I think it’s cool. Not that long ago we couldn’t even make fire, now we have boats, planes, satellites, probes, etc. Universe: Here’s something you don’t understand. Mankind: Hold my beer, because I’m about to understand that. Universe: You couldn’t possibly… Mankind: Got it. What’s next?

[@cjvan713]

I have no idea who or what this was, it's just something I saw as a child. It was a solar system backing up to a galaxy. Was a Galaxy backing up to a cluster of galaxies which backed up to a line of these clusters of galaxies. The final slide was these lines of galaxies were twisting into a shape similar to dna. Got to admit, fascinating concept.

[@noneofyourbizness]

prediction: there will be NO human inhabited camp of ANY size on Mars before 2050...likely not for far longer.

1. There are over 100 million PLANETS in just OUR galaxy. 2. There are TRILLIONS of GALAXIES in the UNIVERSE. You logically can NOT come to the conclusion that not a single one other planet out there in the entire universe has life on it. There are just an incomprehensible amount of celestial bodies out there for not one of them to have life on it.

You are a Great Speck… and you are appreciated by your fellow Specks. You HAVE TO listen to The Galaxy Song by Monty Python… it makes this realization FUN! Alan Watts has some great lectures here on KZbin , check out the Afterskool channel. Human EGO is lost when we meditate on our place in the whole mechanism of our existence .. and somehow.. makes the argument for some GOD or Architect, because the variables required and the complexity of DNA and pre-history development that led to what we are today.. the permutations are fascinating.
