Maybe he will say something on that, I haven't finished the video yet, but Isaac Arthur made a great argument why discovering an advanced alien civilization is most likely not dangerous; If Aliens can travell between star system, we can assume that they are intelligent. So if a alien civilization notices that humanity exists somewhat close to them (at least close enough to perceve us and reach us), they know that life is most likely somewhat common since it happened nearby. This would mean that other, possibly even more advanced alien civilizations might exist nearby. If this hypothetical 3rd civilization is trying to keep peace, starting a war with humanity is a bad idea, and if this potential 3rd civilization is agressive and dangerous, attacking possible allies such as humanity would be stupid, as well.

7:46 so abiogenesis is the hypothesis that life originated from non living stuff billions of years ago. What you brought up with the lightning strikes and primordial soup is probably because you've heard about the miller urey experiment where two guys discovered organic chemicals like amino acids can be synthesized from non organic chemicals. nowadays most scientists have thrown out the old primordial soup hypothesis in favour of newer models on where and how life may have possibly begun.

[@danielanderson12321]

For primitive beings like us, life seems to have only one single purpose: gaining time. And it is going through time that seems to be also the only real purpose of each of the cells in our bodies. To achieve that aim, the mass of the cells that make up earthworms and human beings has only two solutions. Be immortal, or to reproduce. If its habitat is not sufficiently favorable or nurturing, the cell will choose immortality. In other words, self-sufficiency and self-management. On the other hand, if the habitat is favorable, they will choose to reproduce. That way, when they die, they hand down essential information and knowledge to the next cell. Which hands it down to the next cell and so on. Thus knowledge and learning are handed down through time.

I don't get what he's talking about most of the time. How do you refuel a star ? How does stopping the expansion of the universe give you infinite time ? I don't get it.

[@aaronropers-huilman660]

I'm not quite sure, but if I'm interpreting it correctly, here's what he means: 1. Refuelling a star Stars undergo a process called fusion, where the atoms in a star fuse with those around them, due to the extreme states of energy in the surrounding area. The most common element in most stars, Hydrogen (the "fuel"), will slowly be fused into helium, and then so on and so forth. Once the star runs out of 'fuel', depending on it's mass, it can turn into a black hole, or perhaps a white dwarf (the exposed core of a dead star). What I think tommy is proposing is that somehow we Inject a large amount of hydrogen into our sun (which unfortunately wouldn't work) to 'refuel' it. 2. The expansion of the universe One of the more common theories on how the universe could end is by the "Heat death" of the universe. The universe is constantly expanding, and currently, that rate of expansion is accelerating. If the rate of expansion of the universe grows so fast that it somehow exceeds that of light (the fastest that energy, matter, and pretty much anything in the universe can propagate through it), then anything in the universe would literally lose all cohesion. If we could stop this, it would prevent the heat death, which in turn would (theoretically) extend the "shelf life" of the universe by an (even more theoretically) infinite amount. Hope that was able to clear some stuff up!

[@itsokcry7113]

I love his background wish I had it

[@captaincrooked9051]

I personally believe the great filter is the existence of super predators. What I mean is that within an ecosystem, it is easy for the predators who specialize in strengths like muscles, teeth and claws to reign so tightly they become what you could call a super predator. So things like T-Rex or other large carnivores, creatures who are strong enough that early attempts at tool use, the basis for an intelligence based predator (like humans) are completely ineffective. Dinosaurs ruled the planet in a stabilized control over it for 165 million years, humans have only been around in a recognizable fashion for 200,000 years. So clearly the filter event in my mind is a cataclysm event has to occur that wipes out the brute force method of planet ruling, like what the dinosaurs experienced with the asteroid, which had to be strong enough to kill them, but not everything. A sortof goldylocks cataclysm, that allows a reprieve for tool use to evolve and become dominant.
