Could it be frightening because of the ways in which Hollyweird portrays other intelligence and calling them aliens in movies? Could it be Hollyweirds perceptive that was programmed in sentient beings who think they are alone in a world with animals.only and they are the smartest in the world? Well, for those who never believed that there are other people of higher intelligence on this planet and other planets better wake up and get use to knowing the truth to prepare then for that day they see one of them. Knowing the truth is powerful and helpful for those unaware and our visitors, because it prepares the earth human to prevent he/she from attempting to harm the visitors. There are many different races of other beings but Hollyweird only show those that look different in a negative way , and that make ppl afraid of them when some are nicer than us earth humans. Every other race of beings have good and bad just as we do. Believe it or not but there are some hybrid humanoids on your jobs, in your schools, your cashiers, your GOVERMENT etc........They have infiltrated every sector of society and no one knows but them and some of their family members then, there are those that do not know they're hybrids because they look just like us. That's how they have been successful so long hiding it from the public. Almost all of them have problems communicating with real humans because they speak in broken sentences like Biden. It seems as if they are brain dead, but that's because they aren't organic and its very difficult for them. They are usually quiet and like to stay to themselves in isolation at work and in public for less attention. Those are the ones created here on this planet but are not real humans , then there are other beings living and working amongst us not knowing that he/she is a clone of the real human whose place he/she is taking. The clones have a limited memory of the original human as a result of the real human's conscience being downloaded into the clone and so the clone lives as if he/she is the original. They are every where you can imagine but mainly in Hollyweird and Government. If they get out of line and go against the rulers of this world they usually end up missing, falsely accused of committing suicide, car accident, set up and framed, fired, jailed etc...you get what I'm saying. Then you have those from other dimensions and planets here with us. They look like us also and do not like when earth people call them aliens because they aren't. They can say the same about us if you're calling them alien because they aren't from earth. Truth be told most of us aren't from the earth ourselves. We came down here to help wake ppl up during this plannedemic forced on us. They are here to help the ascension of the youngest specie on this planet aka us human beings. I have such a hard time trying to understand why is it so hard for some ppl to wake up and stop believing those who have been deceiving us for years promising to change all the wrongs humanity ask of them but never accomplishing anything. They've been in those positions long enough to have done something but nothing in favor of the ppl it's always things beneficial for their puppet masters that hide behind the scenes. They are taking orders from them to help their agendas come into fruition no matter how bad the agenda is for the ppl. The corporations also fall into this category but they aren't so much in hiding as the ones at the top giving the orders. Our Goverment is not working to serve and help humanity. They are on the evil side of the spectrum whose agenda is population control and they're fighting and at war right now at this moment. One side wants depopulation and the other side don't want it and if your still a democrat supporter I'd suggest you please do some research on what I'm saying because its all true and they're fooling the ppl using BLM to help with the agenda. Last but not least then there are those that look different but not like those in movies and just because they look different doesn't mean they are evil and will hurt you. You probably look funny to them as well but those are the ones hiding underground and can't e above ground for too long. Some will take over a human body just to come up on the earth. Yes there are other ppl besides earths humans in all the worlds and so please don't try to hurt one if you see one because they are suppose to make their presence known this year 2020. What a coincidence2020 when Gates decided to play god. We have help ppl but we have to help ourselves because we are the one were waiting on to save us. Our help can't do it for us because we ha e free will to do it for ourselves however they are here to assist us.

[@vladimirgochevski8331]

Chance to be alone is close to impossible! If you follow media’s these days you’ll know that some type of contact was already confirmed by pentagon. I’m glad we aren’t alone but I have concerns that aliens 👽 still don’t want us to know that they are here, they most likely have secret agendas, otherwise they wouldn’t hide from us. As an engineer by profession I’m sure we have their technology and crafts back engineered by now, but we as race are missing the mental and physical abilities to use their technology! I also believe that contacts with alien entities are possible by using psychedelic substances like magic mushrooms, DMT, ayahuasca, which opens our third eye and takes our consciousness to different places and dimensions. Those beings or entities that our consciousness meet under psychedelics share multidimensional consciousness and communicate with us when our brain gets to specific frequency’s. I’m aware for the existence of secret projects and research by our secret U.S. government for exploration of psychedelics use for communication with these multidimensional beings. There are witnesses that even the highest rang Nazis, who were part of their secret society called VRIL, used these psychedelic drugs combined with spiritual rituals for communication with these higher beings back in the 30’s and that VRIL cult was the main reason why they gained advanced technological development and were far ahead compared to other countries. They had nuclear weapons, jet propulsion technologies, first flying saucers and aspirations for traveling in space, they designed first space shuttles for us used in Apollo missions much later in the 60’s and had advantage in every scientific field. NASA was founded and managed by part of those Nazis that we took on our side after WW2 because they had all the knowledge and experience. Most of that knowledge was gained from communication with multidimensional entities which were feeding from all the negativity, all the terror, fear and death they were spreading in WW1 and WW2.

all the time spent on this video and so many important things left out. like the power it would take to produce a radio wave that actually reaches Andromeda: the entire output of multiple stars! (do you think humans can even detect a yellow star like ours from another galaxy? no! we can only see large objects producing insane amounts of power.) do you think humans can produce that radio wave strength? no. Our radio waves will only make it about 500 - 1000 light years from the planet before they are too weak and separated to be detected let alone perceived as intelligent signals. thats is 0.01 % of the distance across our galaxy. thats as far out from our sun as aliens could detect US. secondly: radio waves are so damn slow and inefficient (almost the speed of light), no intelligent species would ever bother wasting the time and energy to push radio waves into space as a form of "greeting" or signal. so the idea that we are going to "detect" aliens from scanning radio frequencies: fucking retarded. how many other types of technology are we trying to detect from aliens? NONE. ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NONE. BECAUSE WE DONT HAVE ANY OTHER TECHNOLOGY. "why havent we detected aliens" : BECAUSE WE, AS A SPECIES ---> ARE INCREDIBLY FUCKING DUMB. we are still basically animals. we just have clothes and make metal carriages with wheels.

No, that's not a filter. If they "exist" in the past, then why don't they exist NOW, did they get killed off and if so, what killed them, THAT is the filter. The only way your explanation makes sense is if they develop time travel technology and literally chose not to exist at this time because they went to some other time. I'll tell you what it probably is. A combination of 2 things. The unlikelihood of abiogenesis, and the fact that technology becomes their undoing, especially once it comes to genetic science. Because all it takes is for genetic engineering to be something that can be done in anyone's garage, and then some disgruntled being will cook up a super-virus in his garage.

All those morons in comments claiming some babble such as: "Aliens are more peaceful than us", "We are killing our planet so they won't contact us", "Humans are too aggressive" are simply wrong. We are aggressive, but we also are able to have mercy and and compassion. We do harm our environment, but at some amount of population and level of technology it is not possible to not do so. Too aggressive aliens could survive, but it could be harder (but possible) to them to develop. Too peaceful species would just die off, because environment demands some aggression to survive. So it is not "humans too bad" that causes this. Because humans, despite appearances, aren't as evil as it seems. We are troubled species, but we are at least capable of being good, and generally people try to be good, as naive as it may sound.

Another possible answer to the Fermi paradox might be the rare earth hypothesis.

I probably missed a few factors, but all of these happening in one place could severely impact the Drake equation.

[@DhavalBrahmbhatt2627]

The great filter is the speed of light. For two civilisations to talk to each other, they have to exist at the same time and have some reasonable communication while they still exist. Even if two civilisations do detect each other and start communicating, due to the vast distances between them and time it would take for the communication, it would be completely meaningless beyond knowing we are not alone. If and when we do detect a signal, it’s possible that the civilisation that sent the signal might be long gone when we detect it. Again, making the signal or even any message they sent, which, even if it happens to be in plain English, completely useless to us. It almost feels like the universe was designed to keep civilisations from ever detecting each other or make it completely useless even if we did. Then there is the fantasy (at this time) of faster than speed of light travel. So we could travel to any system in the galaxy in an instant. Anyone knowledgeable enough in that area knows that if it would be possible, you would have to use up incredible amount of energy. So if we or any civilisation for that matter, had that kind of tech, the idea of finding and meeting another civilisation wouldn’t be as fascinating as it sounds to us right now. It would be going to a never before visited land and finding and looking at earth worm like things when you were expecting to see people from Asgard for example. Again, makes you feel that it’s like a game designed in a way that you can never win.

Travelling at the speed of light would probably be the most time consuming and power hungry way to travel and would still be impossible to travel between galaxies considering the amount of time it would still take.

Adding that one variable I didn't hear throughout the video is: Timing. When, Where and How long are, for me, the most important bullet points to consider. For example: a civilization that was born 1,000,000 years ago at a distance of 700 stars away from Earth and only existed for like 900,000 years may never reach us on time. We may never know they even existed because, let's say they started sending messages to deep space 100,000 years into their existence, there's still a leap of 800,000 years. Meaning they communicated, and we (kinda) existed, but didn't have the technology to know they were there.

It's only been 133 years since we've started sending out a signal. 133 light years isn't far if you look at the size of out galaxy which is about 100 000 light years wide. If we find a civilisation evolved enough to get this signal and understand it, we're either very lucky or very unlucky. If they got to our first signal, they'll only know about WWII by 2073.

GOD create life so vast it's in other dementions thats what GOD does hes a creator. GOD didnt creat earth then go back 2 his thrown he created galaxies star systems. 100s of 1000s of planets he created was 2 record their evolution in different parts of outer space. GODs creations r endless.

My physics teacher answered my question about Fermi and he made it very understandable and used the Earth to do it. He said imagine youre born into the Sahara desert all by yourself, then do what ever you want to talk with another human. Your likelyhood of contacting another person let alone a full civilization is nearly zero even though you are surrounded by 7 billion other people comprising of thousands of different cultures and their civilizations. I believe we are just born into the Sahara and we are surrounded by the same amount of people, we are just so far away and ill equipped to contact others. We could be hearing millions of signals coming from space and we just call it the backround radiation.

My problem with the Fermi paradox is, we're so young technologically, I mean look how far we've come in such a short time. A civilization that is something as small as 500 years ahead of us may be sending signals in a way we can't even imagine. It could be like early humans trying to communicate with a mobile phone using smoke signals.

[@indridcold8433]

The extraterrestrial beings use nanofocused accelerated modulated neutrino beams that communicate faster than the speed of light. Nanofocused accelerated modulated neutrino beams would not appear on the radio spectrum as it is known to humans. However, extraterrestrial beings have no interest in communicating with the mudapes of Earth anyway. They will stand to gain nothing from communication with them. Would you gain anything from trying to communicate with cockroaches in the most hostile place on Earth? My guess is no and you would never try. That is how the extraterrestrials see humans.

[@julius43461]

There is no paradox at all. Until we figure out how life forms, we can't even guess how common it is. Very simple. People doing the guessing now are just dreamers.

[@jainayak666]

Agree. And it could also be that we may perhaps be 500 years ahead of another civilization that is yet to discover radio signal communications. In which case, hopefully by the time they're radio ready, the waves emitted from Earth would reach them AND hopefully, they'd be able to decipher them. For now, we can only hope to capture any stray radio waves sent out inadvertently by similar civilizations. Would it be reasonable to assume that any advanced civilization that has perhaps gone through a technological evolution involving radio communication, AND is interested in communicating with less advanced civilizations, would perhaps maintain such equipment too? That said, imagine we're seaweed on the ocean floor, completely oblivious to the teeming life all around us. We wouldn't be able to tell even if it smacked us in the face :/

[@farrcanalutube]

given that these civilizations are to form on planets like ours and our knowledge of how planets form it would suggest unlikely that intelligent civilizations are around long enough to develop the technology themselves. We have been through 4 great extinctions on our rock and potentially due for one. The planets themselves are the great filter.

Wayne Dunlop was a zombie in season 1 episode 2 that Rick, T-Dog, Jackie, Glenn, Amy, Andrea, eviscerated to smear entrails from the carcass on Glen and Rick. Before the first axe hit to the dead zombie, Rick checked the wallet in its pocket and recognized he was once human. His ID said Wayne Dunlop born 1979.

[@veronkrahss482]

I've always considered the answer to likely be one of two things. Either we're simply one of the first to get this far or the development of creating/using tools and hyper curiosity (the things that allowed us to experiment and develop new things) are extremely rare traits. We have a few different species like that here on earth but only one that has managed to master it to the degree of creating advanced robotics and other interesting technologies. For an alien civilization to rise up they'd have to share those traits or at least something similar enough to lead them down the same path. Course there are other things to consider. Speed of light, time dilation, etc, but alien evolution is definitely a primary candidate as well

Without imminent danger to their star system, nobody would leave it. There are simply more materials and energy supply in their own star system than they can use, til their star(s) collapse. Sure for research purpose, they could have exploratory fleets flying around but best bet is they will only go to their nearest star system, given how far every star systems are away from each other. Now why have we not found them yet? Heard about them yet? Well, for analogy, imagine that the milky way galaxy is as large as your living room, and our solar system is a grain of sand in the room. Well at most, our own radio signals that we have been forcefully broadcasted into space in the past 150 years is barely the diameter of a quarter in your living room, not even enough to reach our closest neighboring star. And in the last decade, we are not even broadcasting as forcefully as before. With digitization, communication is simply focused to where we want to communicate. Take 5G for example, bandwidth is super great but need more towers because wavelength is too weak to go too far. Our greatest communication tech can barely reach my basement toilet. So yeah, the really really off chance that we can intercept a signal from aliens while they are still using radio signals is lower than my chances of getting laid tonight.
