Skeptical Scientists make some of the best scientists. My favourite example is Rontgen, who, the story goes, was so so disbelieving of his initial discovery of X-rays that he conducted every possible test that he could image to disprove they existed but, in doing so, simply compiled more and more evidence that they did in fact exist. He then shared this with all other scientists and asked them to repeat his tests and prove him wrong. This is how Scientific fact is disclosed, not by someone saying , '" I've done the tests , I've seen the evidence , believe me , it's true." This is not science.

That’s exactly how you’re supposed to conduct research. You’re not supposed to prove your hypothesis correct; you do everything you can to prove it incorrect. That is how you prove things to be true.

[@katherinemorgan841]

@katherenewedic8076 the minimum criteria, I'd argue, for a civilization spawning species are thusly: -The biological capacity to support a large brain, in humans this is because of our upright posture. If the species is aquatic then there is very little need structural support like that. The species could also have a decentralized nervous system similar to insects and octopus. A decentralized nervous system would allow the more capable brain to develop in weird places. -They should be predators. Predators tend to have better problem solving skills. -They should be social. That one is just like "duh." -They need to be able to manipulate their environment and create and utilize tools. Some form of appendage that can grasp and is freely dexterous like our hands, or octopus tentacle, prehensile tail, etc. If you look at our ecological history there are many clades that went extinct for one reason or another. If these groups survived and evolved to outcompete our ancestors then we may have ended up with them as an ancestor with us looking nothing like how we do today.

It's good to hear someone like him say what I've been saying for years. There's no way aliens would look as human-like as many people think they would. I've had people bring up the topic of convergent evolution in discussions and that has SOME merit, but that would imply that their world of origin would be earth-like enough to warrant a similar evolutionary path as us. Even here on earth the most successful organisms are insects so one would assume aliens from an earth-like planet would've more closely followed that evolutionary path than our own. I feel like the assumption that aliens are humanoids is simply comforting to people because it lets them believe that communication and interaction would be possible. It's a lot easier to sleep at night imagining that a humanoid race will come and ask to see our leaders than it is imagining a colony of giant, intelligent space ants showing up and devouring everything.

[@donnievance1942]

This reasoning is why I think that, if the "gray aliens" are real, they are probably humans that have been genetically manipulated by the actual aliens. You can easily imagine that an alien species visiting our planet, but not being adapted to the biochemical and physical conditions of our planet, might want some locally adapted collaborators to do their data collection and any other tasks they might want to perform here. So, they take an intelligent local life form and alter it to suit their particular needs. Perhaps they might use a combination of selective breeding and direct genetic manipulation. This would explain the reports of aliens collecting genetic material from humans. I've long ago said that it's virtually impossible that true aliens could use human DNA in the context of their own biology. But for developing a humanoid type of their own design, the way we breed dogs and other animals-- well, why not?

[@blucat4]

@@anthonyernst999 That's actually incorrect. The burden of proof lies with the one making the claim. If someone comes along and says 'The planet Mercury is made of titanium', it's not up to every other scientist to disprove that, it's up to him to put forward a hypothesis that makes sense, has ideas that can be tested, do the tests, show that the tests agree with the claim, and then make the claim. Only then does anyone else have to even listen. The tests must be repeatable and then others can do the tests, either disproving or proving the claim. Alien DNA would blow the world away.

Based on the observation on 'Jean Jacket', the creature shouldn't be alien but originated on the earth itself with thousands of years of evolution and mutation.

I would say, it stands to reason, that life developing in somewhat similiar conditions as earth - oxygene / nitrogene atmosphere, pressure, gravity, radiation - might develop in a similiar pattern. And I use similiar in a very loose fashion. There is a few things that developed multiple times here on Earth - eyes are a good example - we have fish-eyes, which went through a lot of ancestors including us humans, we have insect eyes, which do basically the same thing, but prette differently. Lungs - or rather means of metabolising oxygene and so on and so forth. I think, if there's radiation in a specific spectrum on that world, they would develop light-sensitive organs to discern their surroundings. Also if we talk about civilisation, then there need to be means to manipulate the surroundings - arms or other appendages. Is it two? Maybe. Is it ten? Why not. How many fingers would they have (Also a thing they need - the ability to finely manipulate delicate stufff...) So you would pretty much have something with eyes in some form and appendages. Likely some form of verbal communication as well. Maybe it wouldn't look humanoid - there's no immediate reason why a form of great ape and not... say some lizard, bird, gas filled membrane or whatever would have made the race to the top. But you maybe will recognise them as intelligent civilised beings.

[@edoalva48]

I think we're gonna come back similar to the fermi paradox thing. That stated either life is exclusive to Earth (so rare), or life isn't so rare but the universe itself is just so vast that each presence is very scarce. Following logic number 2, even if there's another kind of living being, they almost certainly won't look humanoid. They must have entirely different variables that classified their existence, in physical form and in everything else. However like what guy before me has said, we will probably still be able to identify that they're an intelligent species, because we are also one with the capacity to do so. No matter how absurd they might look like.

I agree with your statement that the aliens in most sci-fi movies and programs look like slightly modified humans. One the the things I love about the Star Wars movies vs the Star trek tv shows (which I also like) is the variety of alien being in the Star Wars Movies, i.e. the bar scene in Star Wars episode 4 (the first movie). How about Haba the Hut in episode 5.

Jabba the hutt** but yea i agree completely, star wars did a good job with certain aliens, even tho i could argue most of them were humanoids, they still had creative ones.

I have thought about this since I was little..Just like the vast complex life forms found here on earth, I highly doubt that aliens would be in humanoid form. Just look at the different forms of animals found here. We have arthropods, insects, birds and reptiles. Alien body forms should and must be dictated by their originated planet's gravity, food source and evolutionary paths for their species to thrive. Take a look at the different forms of sea life at our massive deep seas.

This was so amazing, I absolutely love how eloquently you explained this Neil. I think it was an important topic as well that needed to be addressed.

[@robertatrophie]

It didn't need to be addressed.

[@orionishi6737]

Eloquence? Where? When?

[@zippyt.libertine3787]

Thank you, especially for the phrase "Keep looking up" so often used by the late "Star Hustler" Jack Foley Horkheimer.

Just a little bit of common sense goes a long way. This is why I enjoy listening to Neil. He can explain things so that a layman can understand them.

[@KristyGeeWizz]

Neil, the technical difficulties were OBVIOUSLY the aliens. It’s all the evidence you need 😂

[@babyboijeremy]

I hobestly think he delayed this in order to not rain on their parade as they say. The whole vibe of the video is. " They can't be serious."

[@nicolasvallejo4000]

Neil should use more tin foil next time.

Come on you it’s impossible to fake digital photos X-rays LoL 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣

[@jamesmiller6294]

I think the movie arrival did a great job with their interpretation of an alien and the concept of communication with them and just how different communication for us could be to them

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

‘Contact’ did too. The movie at least. Haven’t read the book yet

[@Msvalexvalex]

​@@Pluralofvinylisvinyls spoiler Didn't the alien present itself as the astronaut's father? Did I miss a scene?

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

@@Msvalexvalex SPOILER Yeah. i think it said it wasn’t ready to show itself or it would be beyond her understanding so they presented themselves in a way that’s comprehensible to humans.

[@daviderickson8699]

I agree. I loved the whole nuance of how language can confine or liberate thought, even to the point of our perception of time. It's always been fascinating to me how our physics are somewhat fenced in by the fact we are vision-dominant in terms of senses, and I think of intelligences who use entirely other senses and how they might have completely different conceptions of the universe.

[@heatheryearwood9199]

Thank you for pointing out things. All you say is greatly appreciated ...❤❤

[@ActualRacerX]

I want to seriously give credit and thanks to everyone involved in this upload. All around awesome clip even if it was taken out before. I especially appreciated the music sequence.
