Why The Universe May Be Full Of Alien Civilizations Featuring Dr. Avi Loeb: ua-cam.com/video/6ckgBxRASTo/v-deo.html The Mysterious Interstellar Object Oumuamua With Harvard's Dr. Avi Loeb: ua-cam.com/video/rDZyI83Bj2w/v-deo.html
John Michael Godier please may I ask if you may pose a question to Dr Loeb in your next discussion with him. I would like to know Dr Loebs thoughts on what would be protocol or indeed what would be advisable if human beings sent a probe to a near by inhabited star system. For example if Oumuamua was a reconnaissance probe, and if we were the ones who dispatched it, and found intelligent life in the habitable zone would we then make contact with it? Indeed if we discovered another civilisation at the same stage of development as ours, even then what would be the next step? I assuming these issues have been considered by someone somewhere. I would like to know Dr Loebs, and your own thoughts, on this issue.
I bet only dorks know what "M" status means but anyways .. I think channels like this aren't "mainstream" because mainstream people aren't very smart/curious/intellectual/mathematical. Sorry for the cynicism but that's my 2 cents.
If some fraction of the dwarf stars is quiet and doesn't flare excessively (as off the top of head I think is the case), then there are still a huge number of dwarf stars that have potentially habitable worlds.
Yet another drake equation variable that we can't practically take into account until we go out and look. Personally I think the two major factors that have given life enough time to select for intelligence are Jupiter and the moon. A rocky planet in the habitable zone of its relatively long lived yet stable star, just small enough to allow rockets to get off the planet, with an asteroid sweeper gas giant in the outer solar system and a moon to provide a stable axial tilt for billions of years (one that only came about thanks to an astronomically unlikely collision with another planet that was just the right size at just the right angle). Given what we know about what allowed us to evolve, I'd say rare earth is by far the most likely solution to the fermi paradox and makes it seem extremely unlikely that intelligent life that can explore the stars would occur at all. Of course we cant know for sure till we go look.
I have been following Your commentaries for quite a while now. I have enjoyed them and now Your Event Horizon have catapulted Your shows to an even more informative level. Thank You Sir !
I like and enjoy these long discussions and think people that really enjoy the science do as well.I can just hit play and go about doing whatever and let my mind be captivated by science in a good long topic discussion, especially on my commute to work. As well Dr Avi is always a great welcomed guest as I know we have had him a few times before.
Got to say, thinking the Fermi Paradox somehow disproves the existence of alien life is as irrational as thinking Stealth aircraft don't exist because RADAR can't pick them up.
The Fermi paradox and the great filter just explain why we haven’t found alien life and that life in general is rare and unique. Either life is too delicate to evolve or the advances of intelligent beings will be their own demise. I believe there are actually 2 great filters. We passed the first one with the delicate development of life on Earth. Now, we are approaching the 2nd.
I think at this point Dr. Loeb has been in approximately 83.6% of Event Horizon's content. I am not complaining! Love these long and soothing nerdy vids.
That last part is very interesting. Oumuamua might go back to the speed it had before the encounter with the solar system, to the Local Standard of Rest. Another reason to set after it with a rocket. We should start a fundraiser for hiring a SpaceX rocket..
We can only *hope* one thing, that the (Rip) Steven Hawking wasn't right, that there're no Destroyers, No Brainiac, No Brethern Moons, No Flood/Reapers, No Join United Space Federation/Holy Cthulhu Cult or get Kinetic Bombardement.
I don't think "bad aliens" are gonna be a factor, because we are already hell bent on destroying ourselves in the near term from the increasing adverse effects of the following. Global heating, extreme weather events (heat/drought/flood), nuclear weapons in the hands of infants, vulnerable nuclear power facilities, ocean acidification, ocean anoxia/deoxygenation, surface ozone toxicity, industrial & fossil fuel/mining pollution (on land, water & air including plastics & indestructible man-made chemical toxic products). In 30 years time with a further foot rise in sea levels, a rapidly starving & declining human population will likely have stripped the polluted degraded land of all its plant food & clean water resources and will be eating one another. The remaining 70% of the Earth surface (the oceans) will by then have become an open sewer as the marine ecology approaches terminal decline. After that aliens are not likely to find many, if any, surviving humans who might perhaps have adapted to living in a wholly artificial habitat. I hope that I am not wrong because it may all happen earlier.

Yourself and Dr Avi Loeb make interesting conversation. All your guests have been great man Event Horizon is bringing it to the cosmic table. Please get Mitchio Kaku on to break down the multiverse for us!
Excellent video! I have come to fully enjoy your work! Thank you! I have been going over past videos and definitely enjoy hearing content I am curious about!
He lost me with the typical "we aren't the "center of the universe" therefore aliens exist" argument. Entertaining the possibility that technological intelligence might be incalculably rare due to the uncountable number of exceedingly unlikely events that had to happen for it to arise does not make us "special" or "arrogant".
~ 38:30 I still think that we are pretty rare and special. Because if not, then there isnt any plausible solution to the Fermi Paradox left. All solutions that assume intelligent life isnt rare have been logically torn apart by Isaac Arthur.
Matt A - With you on that 100%. I think the Earth is very special, possibly unique in our galaxy, if not maybe one of literally a handful. Life on Earth is immeasurably precious imo. I totally disagreed with the guest's kind nonchalant attitude about Earth and life here.
@@charleswood7001 Unique? We haven't found an earthlike planet with atmosphere and oxygen yet? I think the inteligent life is what is unique, earthlike planet are not
This is my favorite UA-cam channel by far. Always interesting and captivating. As well as highly educational. I wish I were born in the 25th century!!! Kevin Gallagher
Oumuamua, although moving quickly compared to a solar system object, was dog slow in interstellar terms. If it's a light sail, it isn't a very successful one. It takes literally eons for it to get anywhere. I'm surprised that someone as learned as Dr Loeb entertained that idea in the slightest.
I agree. I think the thought is that, since it's tumbling, it's debris from a destroyed probe, not one operating as designed. However, if an impact occurred at interstellar cruising speeds, I think some parts would continue on at near full speed while anything directly impacted by a collision would simply be vaporized - I don't think you'd get much in the way of slow-moving debris.
@@nkordich Thank you. I know he's published many papers, etc, but in this video, he's all over the place and contradictory. He entertains the idea that fast radio bursts might be massive directed energy beams to launch sails to near light speed. Then has no problem suggesting Oumuamua, at it's incredibly slow speed, which is what you'd expect from a comet or asteroid ejected from another system, might be one of them. Make up your mind, Dr Loeb.
@@JCO2002 TBH, I actually appreciate that he went out on a limb to pitch the idea of light pressure being the source of 'Oumuamua's acceleration as opposed to simply unobserved outgassing. I don't think it's likely, and I've heard others in the field complain about his presentation of this theory (fueling speculation 'Oumuamua is an alien spaceship), but it did get me thinking out of the box as to what could lead to an extremely low-density object. That led to my pet theory that it's a flake of graphite or some other form of carbon shed from a carbon flash (mentioned in an earlier comment on this video). Wikipedia summarizes the carbon flash as "In stars with masses between 8 and 11 solar masses, the carbon-oxygen core is under degenerate conditions and carbon ignition takes place in a carbon flash, that lasts just milliseconds and disrupts the stellar core. In the late stages of this nuclear burning they develop a massive stellar wind, which quickly ejects the outer envelope in a planetary nebula leaving behind an O-Ne-Na-Mg white dwarf core of about 1.1 solar masses. The core never reaches high enough temperature for further fusion burning of heavier elements than carbon." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-burning_process#Stellar_evolution In other words, they violently eject a *huge* volume of carbon in less than a million years. The carbon cloud it shakes off is so thick they can actually blot out their own light from our observation. Much of that carbon maybe atomic, but we all know how carbon likes to bond with itself - how much of those quadrillion tons of carbon form into sheets of graphite, graphene, diamond or other carbon structures, such that it could actually be moved by light pushing on it? How fast would such a piece of carbon be ejected, if it formed, and are there any stars that fit that rather precise profile that would have been a carbon star millions of years ago and would have intersected the path we believe 'Oumuamua took? I don't know, not sure I'll be able to figure it out, but I had only considered this as a possibility because Dr. Loeb proposed something off the wall. Here's the video from another channel that originally called my attention to carbon stars: ua-cam.com/video/Vx2DFu40MKE/v-deo.html As much as I'm tickled by having a possible alternate explanation, I expect it's far more likely the acceleration was merely unseen outgassing from a relatively normal rock.
@@nkordich Good post, thanks. I'm mainly irked by him being responsible for all the headlines/stories that some astronomers suspect it was an alien probe. It was extremely irresponsible, and seemed designed to garner attention for himself.
*QUESTION* Is it possible objects like OUMUAMUA could be a sign that more is coming? What if its the beginning of a cloud of debris caused by some huge violent event?
It would be interesting if you have the option to translate in all the videos that you produce, this helps the channel to grow because there are a lot of people who do not know English, and who are interested in videos related to this topic. This video has no option to translate so it is difficult to understand the video of voices. This would also help the channel grow more, Isaac Arthur's channel is always careful to provide translation in all the videos that it produces.
I always assumed an advanced intelligence would become super efficient and require less energy. Glad I can listen to the smart people's thoughts on the Fermi paradox.
Will there ever be an episode about technology beyond the nano-scale like Picotechnology and Femtotechnology? Nanotechnology gets discussed a lot but what about even smaller scales?
The Fermi Paradox explained. There is a beautiful loving Universe many people claim they experience when they are undergoing an NDE. Long before any Advanced Civilization gains the technology necessary for Interstellar Travel - they find a way to escape to that Universe. In other words, it is technologically easier to get to that other very pleasant and safer place, than it is to develop the Type II Civilization Technology necessary for Interstellar Travel. This explains why we have found no sign of an Advanced Alien Civilization anywhere in the Universe.
Is there any chance to get a link to the background music played throughout the interviews on this channel? There are some very fine space tunes used here.
Don't worry about what the experts say. All you need do is hunt up the Tower of Babel story and think it out in a modern viewpoint. We're at that point again.
51:32 Right! it’s possible, that an ET civilization, could’ve used that to as a plan of being discreet, but also wanting to Probe our system, plant it there, and wait for our system, to run into it. That’s a good point
I hear people talking about finding intelligent life in the universe, but I am yet to be convinced of intelligent life here on earth - but I've only been around 71 years.
Being intelligent doesn't necessarly equate with genius, their is a fine line between genius and madness, and I certainly wouldn't include Elon Musk amongst the former. I'm afraid my comment stands: the world is run by a ship of fools and I know it's going to end badly. Ho hum
Kelvin Maybury Certainly , everyone is entitled to their own unique , personal perspective. We all feel certain / passionate in reference to our own opinions/ perspectives. 😉 To each their own- Kevin. 👏
I wonder if more ancient aliens would look at us if we finally stumble upon them in our warp-drives only to find them saying : "oh how quaint, you're still enarmoured with technology" as we learn that they lost interest after building their fifteenth Dyson sphere quantum computer and that perhaps now they're only really enthusiastic about something surprisingly similar to haiku.
I have 2 solutions to the Fermi paradox. 1) We have not yet discovered any effective means of communications that works well for extreme distances. I do not believe using EM waves(light or radio) are an effective means of communications over extreme distances. 2) Normal planetary life cycles for planets that develop advanced civilizations have relatively short time periods that allow that advanced species to survive. Like other advanced civilizations in the universe, the doomsday clock is always ticking. We do not have any chance of survival if we fail to recognize all threats against our species or fail to take the needed actions(in time) to mitigate each and every threat.
Omuamua is a sample size of one. It seems a very obvious mistake to infer that detection should hugely increase the estimate of interstellar objects in the solar system.
I like the guys theories but I also fundamentally disagree about his point about us being arrogant by pointing out earth may be very special. That's purely an emotional argument when we need to deal with material evidence. It's not arrogant to state an observation when there is evidence to support it and no evidence to the contrary.

Doesn't vs don't
You have to be intelligent to watch this channel and so far there is not evidence of intelligent life on this planet.
Because not everyone is a geek like we are.

There probably isn't. And if there was, it would be impossible to hide anyway.
I don't think "bad aliens" are gonna be a factor, because we are already hell bent on destroying ourselves in the near term from the increasing adverse effects of the following.
Global heating, extreme weather events (heat/drought/flood), nuclear weapons in the hands of infants, vulnerable nuclear power facilities, ocean acidification, ocean anoxia/deoxygenation, surface ozone toxicity, industrial & fossil fuel/mining pollution (on land, water & air including plastics & indestructible man-made chemical toxic products).
In 30 years time with a further foot rise in sea levels, a rapidly starving & declining human population will likely have stripped the polluted degraded land of all its plant food & clean water resources and will be eating one another. The remaining 70% of the Earth surface (the oceans) will by then have become an open sewer as the marine ecology approaches terminal decline. After that aliens are not likely to find many, if any, surviving humans who might perhaps have adapted to living in a wholly artificial habitat.

I wonder if more ancient aliens would look at us if we finally stumble upon them in our warp-drives only to find them saying : "oh how quaint, you're still enarmoured with technology" as we learn that they lost interest after building their fifteenth Dyson sphere quantum computer and that perhaps now they're only really enthusiastic about something surprisingly similar to haiku.

I think you comment will go over most people's heads, but yeah, I can see that.
Very good interviewer
When can we see the woman with that fantastic English voice ?
I have 2 solutions to the Fermi paradox. 1) We have not yet discovered any effective means of communications that works well for extreme distances. I do not believe using EM waves(light or radio) are an effective means of communications over extreme distances. 2) Normal planetary life cycles for planets that develop advanced civilizations have relatively short time periods that allow that advanced species to survive.
Like other advanced civilizations in the universe, the doomsday clock is always ticking. We do not have any chance of survival if we fail to recognize all threats against our species or fail to take the needed actions(in time) to mitigate each and every threat.
"Other species might not find us interesting." How about our music? They might flock to us for our music.
Omuamua is a sample size of one. It seems a very obvious mistake to infer that detection should hugely increase the estimate of interstellar objects in the solar system.
I like the guys theories but I also fundamentally disagree about his point about us being arrogant by pointing out earth may be very special. That's purely an emotional argument when we need to deal with material evidence. It's not arrogant to state an observation when there is evidence to support it and no evidence to the contrary.
