[@sertu1462]

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.

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!

[@zyanego3170]

*I WON THE ELECTION!*

[@Chris008987]

What if when technology and most likely AI becomes so advanced, the need to expand and spread to other places becomes a waste of energy. Because the conservation, and how we actually use energy would become more logical then to "waste" it on travel and exploration. If we look at nature and how it uses energy, it`s almost always spent the way that it is most efficient. So if you have a life form that has mastered nano technology, rejuvenation of cells, or intigration of life to some high tech system, so that time is no longer a factor, and a lot of other things we can`t even imagine. The whole thing would be built to be energy efficient, and so would not require the need for more energy or exploration. Maybe that`s why we can`t see anything in the universe, because conservation and efficient use of energy in the end trumps travel
