      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.

      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.

      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 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.

    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.

    • @nkordich
      @nkordich 5 років тому +1

      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.

      @JCO2002 5 років тому +1

      @@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.

    • @nkordich
      @nkordich 5 років тому

      ​@@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.

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.

    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

    Life is rare. We could quite possibly be the only life. The odds on favorite doesn't always win. We need 500 specific things to happen to have life as we know it on earth. Remove one and it all falls apart. It's fragile. It's rare

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Here is a thought. Assuming that there are highly advanced civilizations out there that have reached level 3+ status civilization, it could be that their utilizing black holes for their energy needs and if so the best place to be looking is near or around black holes.

  • @TropicalCoder

    So I was thinking... You can accelerated something to a significant fraction of the speed of light with light sails, but this object has no way of slowing down or stopping at some destination, and therefore is not too practical. Imagine however that you have the laser bank that accelerates these light sails set up in both the origin and the destination. Then you can use the lasers to decelerate the object just as well as to provide acceleration. So it you have the laser banks installed on - Pluto, for example, you could have dailey cargo runs between Pluto and Earth.

    • @nkordich
      @nkordich 5 років тому +2

      Daily runs would probably be unlikely - you probably don't need to move that much mass between Earth and Pluto, and light sails are kind of slow to accelerate/decelerate - their speed is due to the fact you can potentially have them accelerate for years by shining a laser or maser on them. For travel within the solar system, I suspect a magsail (a loop or similar structure of superconducting material you hit with a charged particle beam instead of a laser) might be a better option - the acceleration on that could really knock you back in your seat (albeit for a shorter period than a lightsail).
      Project Dragonfly has received attention as starting off with a lightsail for acceleration, then deploying a magsail to brake as it approaches a star. If the system is uninhabited (so you don't have inhabitants there to build a braking laser for you), this could be the way you send a first probe to deploy a laser at your destination. This would potentially allow you to send a larger probe following on the footsteps of the first, if the first could be counted on to mine and deploy a braking laser.

    It's not even a paradox. The Universe is essentially a vast emptiness of space with some scarcely scattered stuff in it. Even though the Universe is probably teeming with life, the vast distances between stars make us all helplessly separated from each other.

    • @eriknelson2559
      @eriknelson2559 3 роки тому

      Our "spaceship earth" has successfully travelled around 5 million lightyears already. And whatever Nature can do, intelligently designed technology can do better. Vast distances between stars have evidently isolated our world so far, yet "time conquers all" and any distance through space can in principle be crossed given enough time. Just because Earth has, in the past, been isolated does not automatically imply Earth always will, in the future, stay that way. Empty vacuum is not a wall. Nothing is stopping anything, from starlight to Oumuamua to hypothetical spacecraft, from coming our way.

    I never understood the Fermi. Why would anybody expect a civilization to spew gobs of coherent energy in all directions for no immediate purpose? As we progress, we become MORE efficient in our use of energy, not less.
