If you assume that there is life out there on other planets you might also agree that among all of them one is the most advanced of all. What if that planet is Earth and there is no shortcut to the stars. We have to be the ones to figure it out.
i think its either that we are alone or that there is a plethora of intelligent civilizations due to the vastness of the universe. In the latter case it is quite unlikely that we are the most advanced.
The reason, we just happen to be the only complex life in the cosmos at the moment. Hundreds if not thousands of "civilizations" may have come and gone in the past 13+ billion years or so after all.
That's the Rare Earth hypothesis. "Someone has to be first. Maybe after 13.8 billion years, we are the first?" I don't think that is likely, considering that our planet is only 4 billion years old and there were galaxies long before ours was formed, but it is one idea to consider. What if we are the first?
Voyagers and Pioneers are very small and soon the Voygers will join the Pioneers in silence when their weak transmissions end. If we in the future would like to pick them up and put in a museum, it would be a very hard job t find them even when we know their direction and speed. An alien civilization finding them, even when there are billions of years for them to find the spacecraft, is very, very low indeed.
The zoo hypothesis reminds me of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", one of my favorite novels. To me, the hypothesis that makes the most sense is the idea that a technological society has a self-limiting life span, that any society with the ability to destroy itself will eventually do so through climate change, nuclear war, or other self-inflicted harm. If we assign the beginning of our technological civilization with the industrial revolution, it is entirely possible that the life span of a technological society is only a few hundred years before it destroys itself. The hazards may not completely annihilate all life on the planet, but could certainly kick us back to a pre-industrial society that could again take hundreds or thousands of years to recover, at which time, the technological cycle begins anew.
I think self destruction is one of 2 most likely great filters and they both may be in play. We have seen civilizations fall many times in the last 10,000 years. The zoo makes no sense to me given how little of Earth’s history we have been here as does our lack of significance. Neither would explain any expanding alien race would not have taken advantage of what appears to be a rare jewel of a planet. The second is our evolution is a fluke of lucky circumstances. Most predators evolve fangs or claws limiting their need for high energy brain to body weight. Many mammals and birds reached brain ratios and likely intelligence similar to apes long before apes did yet we are the only one that far surpasses ape level. To think human intelligence is the natural direction of evolution is actually violating the anthropomorphic principle by treating our extreme position as any more significant than all the other extremes of evolution. They are all products of rare situations. Size and longevity also seem to have normal limits rarely passed. Space travel simply being too hard or too easy are other possible explanations. While technology we can easily imagine is sufficient to colonize the galaxy it is still quite an effort at our current state. We would need to last at least a few hundred more years I think for fusion rockets to be child’s play. On the other hand once a civilization can colonize space will it really care to get stuck down a gravity well again? I think we passed 1 great filter of evolution and are at the second of not destroying ourselves once obtaining that power. I hope we survive long enough to test the existence of the possible 3rd. I think Mars is the key to this. The Moon was a possible rare 1st step to encourage space travel, but Mars is far enough away and has enough resources to drive an interplanetary civilization towards an interstellar one. Systems like Trappist 1 if capable of developing intelligent life and naturally habitable on more than 1 would be even better.
The problem with these theories are that we assume that ET life would think and act like humans. We have no concept of how their thought process would be.
I've always thought it was a crazy question. We are,arguably intelligent ,but even if we knew there were 500 intelligent species in Andromeda, it would still take millions of years at the speed of light to reach them and the same for a reply. Even our closest star would be extremely hard to communicate with and very slow, taking a lifetime for a conversation. The only way to get around the universe requires generational ships, ships almost the size of planets with generations being born, living and passing on as it travels amoung the stars. We will really have to make some hard choices if a ship like that ever shows up here. After traveling for hundreds or thousands of years to get here, we might not have the option of telling them,"Move along! Nothing to see here! Move along!".¥
Maybe we are in a generational solar system "ship" of our own creation and the goal is Andromeda. We will get there eventually but in the meantime enjoy the ride.

There are many people who experience a temporary death. I feel these are important because the more science we learn the more significant the invisible becomes apparent. Dark matter and the electromagnetic spectrum being a couple examples. One person who was temporarily dead asked their guide to see a couple worlds one of which was less evolved and the other being more evolved. Not only was the more evolved world more technologically advanced they were spiritually advanced too. Two questions our current science seems to avoid are consciousness and spirituality. If science manages to tackle the question of consciousness then I suspect many doors will be open and many questions will be answered. However like our previous discoveries when one question is answered many are raised.
Multitude Of Evidence That They Have Been Here For Many Years.! Or Maybe A Breakaway Civilization.? And NO, It Isn't China Or Russian, THEY'RE SCRATCHING THERE HEADS TOO.!!
Gotta give scientists a break on that since I get their point. ALL life on THIS planet requires liquid water in some way. It could be totally different on other worlds.
I find it extremely surprising that the Sentinalese can not make fire. It's such an ancient human skill, and every previously uncontacted tribe I've ever learned about had a technique for generating fire. To me it suggests they have been isolated for a ridiculously long time if they have no knowledge of fire making. It just seems so crazy to me. I had assumed that fire making was ubiquitous human skill shared by all humanity. Im really surprised by this.
One favourite explanation for the Fermi Paradox is that an extremely advanced alien race breeds inferior species to develop intelligence and weaponry. When they are ready, the aliens come to make them warriors, a delightful Twilight Zone episode, A Small Talent for War.
the policing from a distance to save us from an unknown (to our species anyway) hostile scenario sounds like "The Black Knight Satellite" to me...anyone else thinking along a similar line of thought?!
Humans have been on the scene 3 million years give or take. The cosmos is up to and probably older than 13.8 billion years old. Hundreds of civilizations if nor thosands may have come snd gone and we just happen to be the only compmex life in he universe at the moment. Probably not as "soecial" as we think.
As an Electronics Junkie, my last year of high school was spent learning Radio & T.V. Repair at a tech school in 1977. Communications/Electronics have changed in 46yrs. But, there are still hobbyists, makers, etc. that build crystal radios, or even 2 cans on a string. So, if we ever do get an answer from another planet, it could be with one of their Amateur Radio enthusiasts...why not?🤔😳
The one (even as plausible) solution is the Transcendence Hypothesis. Oversimplified: Instead of everything getting bigger and expanding, everything gets smaller and collapses. Superior beings don't need physical bodies, travelling, as with no mass they require no space as we know it. It's already happening. You're reading this. You've never met me and we are communicating. Think about your devices- they get smaller, more powerful, and we have started uploading our collective consciousness into the "internet".
Anyone who thinks that The Earth isn't so Special.... doesn't deserve to be here ! *F Anyone who doesn't think that The Earth is Special !* *FJB too !*
When you say not common in our universe maybe just in our neck of the universe you got to remember we're on the farthest points of our universe we're on like an arm that reaches out to nowhere in the center of our galaxy there could be a ton of life
If intelligent life ever existed on other planets and are anything like us humans, I can see why we never see any signals from them. They only get to a certain point in their advancement before power, greed and war wipe themselves out.
It's likely a predator species out there,we are like the baby bird that can't fly yet, screaming our lungs out ....we need to learn to listen,instead of screaming.
These civilizations, if they exist, are hundreds of millions of years ahead of us. I cannot imagine any technology we could develop that would threaten the safety of the galaxy, that they could not easily counter.
Considering the likelihood that interstellar space travel is impossible in the timescale of human lifetimes it’s probably pointless to worry about these questions!
I honestly believe we are the sentinel island, virtually everything they do is exactly what powerfull supposedly advanced nations would do, but the irony of the fire scenario, 80 % of our power generation comes from coal or other hydro-carbons which is similar to waiting for a natural event to occur in order to produce something you need.
Here's a possibility to the Fermi, All the space travel capable intelligent life has begun its nice to the edge of the galaxy in anticipation of Andromeda and Milkyway merging. And figure if a civilization can't save it self from its own sun, and to a safe distance in the galaxy, then not to interfere and contaminate its growth.
I think this question is very closely linked to the question of God's existence. We need to distinguish God as the creator of the universe, and there are two possibilities. Possibility 1 is the creator carried out creation by accident, and doesn't even know he created us. Or creation was a deliberate act but as the universe split from the creator's reality instantly the creator doesn't know he was successful. Finally, God may have known he created a universe but has been careful not to interfere with the evolution of the universe. All of these possibilities would end up being the same if God does not exist at all, so all of these possible universes can be called atheistic universes. God either doesn't exist, or God plays no part in the way things go. God is an observer only, even if he does exist. On the other hand God may have deliberately created the universe, knows it created the universe and plays an active role in the evolution of the universe. Call this a theistic universe. This is still not the Biblical God. It could be anyone from an all powerful a knowing super being to a kid making our universe as a school project that will earn a grade of D. In an atheistic universe the universe has no reason for being created and our lives are random events. In an atheistic universe life will be very rare. In a theistic universe life could be a rare accident or it could be everywhere. If it's the latter, there may be a vast interstellar confederation of aliens all around us, but the deliberately hide this fact from human civilization. It can't be that hard to isolate a single system, especially if you take humans from Earth in the past then send them to live on Earth, helping to maintain the isolation. How hard would it be to accomplish that. Any sign of life is written off before it can be published. It should also be noted, in the 1970's a deliberate message was sent to a star cluster very far away. We know for certain that this is a message sent deliberately. But if the aliens receive such a message have the same technology and the same protocols that we have, it could not be classed as a message sent from "others." It is possible we have already gotten such a message, but because it failed to meet our high standards to qualify such a message as "for sure from aliens" we just don't know it yet. Scariest message to receive: Be quiet, them might hear you.
I think that describing the Earth is zoo. It's not a zoo it's more in that theory and preserve a preservation. There's huge differences there. A wildlife reserve.
Ok so I think anyone that has watch Rick and Morty can agree that it would be funny if aliens saw us in early evolution and decided to convince us they were god
The number of advanced civilizations we have seen, 0. We have sent a handful of men to our moon, so we aren't even an interplanetary civilization, so if we can't find warp or jump drives then we aren't going to colonize the galaxy.
3 stars that disappeared could be from the Perseus meteor shower from July 17 to August 15 1952 that is in the time frame but then you got those 7 other that were much dimmer that would be a picture right before they burned out what are the chances of that it could happen and that would definitely be at a peak time frame
I would assume that it takes a universe to support a living planet...meaning everything that has happened in the universe including supernovae cosmic rays etc etc etc in the past was what it took to make a planet that supports life....everything happening in the present universe is to maintain that planet and everything in the future will lead to the end of life on the planet and then there will be no need for this universe
How are you still speculating about the Fermi Paradox solution when I've told you about it months ago already? Just look it up with the phrase "Ethics on Cosmic Scale" to know the real reason, thanks.
I think it’s simple there is most likely plenty of life out there but it’s just too far away: 50,000 year to out close star with our current technology.. think about that 50,000 years!!
The reason that we have not heard from ET is simple. We are far to infantile. As long as we posses the means to exterminate ourselves several times over. As long as we exhibit our nature of tribalism for all the universe to see. As long as we squabble amongst ourselves with useless wars that only kill our fellow humans. As long as we let whole nations starve and suffer needlessly as we look on unfazed I wouldn't want to contact us either. In short as long as we refuse to get our sh!t together as a civilized planet we are not likely to hear from anyone out there. Except to hear the words "O.K. we are done with this bunch time to start over with a new batch". That is if they even bother to do that much.
The Fermi paradox has always been stupid to me. We haven't even scratched the vastness of the universe to say that it isn't teeming with life. And there aren't ancient technologies on our own planet that we can't create, we don't even know what to look for out there.
The only way we can even know exoplanets exist is by listening to the amplitude modulation signal of the power of a sun as an exoplanet shades us from a bit of their suns power. Only by transmitting a signal with the power of a sun can we hope for somebody to hear us. We have no ability to generate such power and probably neither do any aliens.
Depends. If all intelligent species inhabit planets more or less like Earth, they are likely similar to us in many ways (possibly including appearance). But if they inhabit planets very different than Earth, all bets are off...
Vastly different. Depends what one means, of course. If one just means bipedal bilaterally symmetrical aliens, that form might or might not be common among possible aliens; to us it looks like it has many advantages, but then that can be just down to us having that form. In an inflationary universe, which would almost completely lie beyond the observable universe (which is very likely the case of our own), you could eventually run into exact copies of Earths and its inhabitants, but that's more a case of when you have almost infinite space, things start to repeat.
If they don't have technology above ours, then interstellar travel and more exotic methods of communicating via interstellar distances like embedding messages in gravitys waves, are closed to them. Our transmission are also pretty weak and with our own current technology we couldn't probably detect similar one from beyond about 200 light-years, which greatly limits the visibility of civilizations on our technological level to other civilizations and their ability to detect other civilizations.
I guess my main issues is the amount of hubris exposed when you think you have any ability to understand an alien culture. Its is the same amount of hubris and thinking error shown when talking about true AGI. Humans know humans the best of any life in the universe and we regularly can't understand why some of us act and do the things we do, but we will regularly pontificate on why we do or dont see aliens, what their motives or interests might be to explain what we do or dont see. I dont think it is a useless excercise, but there needs to be regular and concrete caveats letting everyone know, all of this is absolute fantasy.
The real paradox is that any one if us is alive to start with. Like why wasnt I john from 1833 or sarah from 2257, why now a concious and here. And life should either be so normal we should easily have found it by now or so rate we are the only ones and technically shouldn't exist... I mean even in the perfect lab conditions with everything perfect for life from non living stuff. Nothing ever appears. Odd to how they make artificial coal and oil in just days or weeks as they claim it takes millions of years in nature...
You know what be the first thing somebody would do but try to steal the technology from them second they don't come here is how we treat each other we are very Savage look at all the alien movies we attacked first or try to cut them up scientific reasons not one movie tried to be be friends with them first
Being a police force in the universe.........how's that working on planet earth? Guess we need universe judges,DA,lawyers,jails prisons( what if earth is a jail or prison and those in jail /prison earth did some crime that we must know life and know death.....) and to tell a species that they can't do what they want to do .......that are smarter and tech advanced would be kinda funny
Sumerians and all old civs say GODS CAME FROM THE SKY they say they gave us the knowledge. You get it. You have it on earth lots of histories monuments etz , but yes human still weak on their brain.
Had to stop half way in. Too long talking about those natives on that island. I thought this was supposed to be a video about Fermi paradox in relation to possible extraterrestrial civilizations, not people on an island living in the Stone Age. 👎
5. We are the dirty smelly kid of the universe. Since we haven't figured out clean energy or how NOT to pollute our planet, aliens look at Earthlings as that kid in Elementary that smelled bad with the 3 day old koolaid stain around his lips.

This is still not the Biblical God. It could be anyone from an all powerful a knowing super being to a kid making our universe as a school project that will earn a grade of D.
In an atheistic universe the universe has no reason for being created and our lives are random events. In an atheistic universe life will be very rare. In a theistic universe life could be a rare accident or it could be everywhere.
If it's the latter, there may be a vast interstellar confederation of aliens all around us, but the deliberately hide this fact from human civilization. It can't be that hard to isolate a single system, especially if you take humans from Earth in the past then send them to live on Earth, helping to maintain the isolation. How hard would it be to accomplish that.
Any sign of life is written off before it can be published.
It should also be noted, in the 1970's a deliberate message was sent to a star cluster very far away. We know for certain that this is a message sent deliberately. But if the aliens receive such a message have the same technology and the same protocols that we have, it could not be classed as a message sent from "others."
It is possible we have already gotten such a message, but because it failed to meet our high standards to qualify such a message as "for sure from aliens" we just don't know it yet.
Scariest message to receive: Be quiet, them might hear you.
Admitting that we know that there's a lot we don't yet know !!!
Dimensions are first on that list !!!
I think the power we seek and they had in ancient times is a magnetic top spun with refracted sunlight. Something like that.
If you believe in a creator there’s no reason to think the creator stop creating
I think that describing the Earth is zoo. It's not a zoo it's more in that theory and preserve a preservation.
There's huge differences there. A wildlife reserve.
Ok so I think anyone that has watch Rick and Morty can agree that it would be funny if aliens saw us in early evolution and decided to convince us they were god
The number of advanced civilizations we have seen, 0. We have sent a handful of men to our moon, so we aren't even an interplanetary civilization, so if we can't find warp or jump drives then we aren't going to colonize the galaxy.
3 stars that disappeared could be from the Perseus meteor shower from July 17 to August 15 1952 that is in the time frame but then you got those 7 other that were much dimmer that would be a picture right before they burned out what are the chances of that it could happen and that would definitely be at a peak time frame
So what you are saying there towards the end is that there may be an intergalactic version of Team America: World Police out there? AMERICA! F YEAH!
Funny one of voyagers messages is have you eaten yet, human buffet anybody.
I think the Zoo Theory is the most plausible theory.
I would assume that it takes a universe to support a living planet...meaning everything that has happened in the universe including supernovae cosmic rays etc etc etc in the past was what it took to make a planet that supports life....everything happening in the present universe is to maintain that planet and everything in the future will lead to the end of life on the planet and then there will be no need for this universe
Based on the evidence, my vote is that we are alone.
Even if Earth is very rare mathematically there should still be millions of planets with some kind of similar life is Earth
How are you still speculating about the Fermi Paradox solution when I've told you about it months ago already? Just look it up with the phrase "Ethics on Cosmic Scale" to know the real reason, thanks.
I think it’s simple there is most likely plenty of life out there but it’s just too far away: 50,000 year to out close star with our current technology.. think about that 50,000 years!!
Maybe human thinking causes aliens 👽 to get headaches, so they stay away.
The speed of light is far too slow to cross the vastness of the universe, hyper sleep maybe ?
NIce Cartoons~
The reason that we have not heard from ET is simple. We are far to infantile. As long as we posses the means to exterminate ourselves several times over. As long as we exhibit our nature of tribalism for all the universe to see. As long as we squabble amongst ourselves with useless wars that only kill our fellow humans. As long as we let whole nations starve and suffer needlessly as we look on unfazed I wouldn't want to contact us either. In short as long as we refuse to get our sh!t together as a civilized planet we are not likely to hear from anyone out there. Except to hear the words "O.K. we are done with this bunch time to start over with a new batch". That is if they even bother to do that much.
Donde ba todo lo que se lebanta dela tiera y enque se convierte
its sad i feel like we will find these answers just not within anyone alive today's lifetime maybe in 2 or 3 hundred years we will reach the stars
The Fermi paradox has always been stupid to me. We haven't even scratched the vastness of the universe to say that it isn't teeming with life. And there aren't ancient technologies on our own planet that we can't create, we don't even know what to look for out there.
None of that may matter if we can demonstrate statistically that intelligent life elsewhere isn't likely.
The only way we can even know exoplanets exist is by listening to the amplitude modulation signal of the power of a sun as an exoplanet shades us from a bit of their suns power. Only by transmitting a signal with the power of a sun can we hope for somebody to hear us. We have no ability to generate such power and probably neither do any aliens.
What is more likely? That all the intelligent life in the universe looks like us or is vastly different from us?
Or we're a toxic experiment that is being studied for the outcome. Are we a bioweapon??? 🤔😲
Depends. If all intelligent species inhabit planets more or less like Earth, they are likely similar to us in many ways (possibly including appearance). But if they inhabit planets very different than Earth, all bets are off...
Vastly different. Depends what one means, of course. If one just means bipedal bilaterally symmetrical aliens, that form might or might not be common among possible aliens; to us it looks like it has many advantages, but then that can be just down to us having that form. In an inflationary universe, which would almost completely lie beyond the observable universe (which is very likely the case of our own), you could eventually run into exact copies of Earths and its inhabitants, but that's more a case of when you have almost infinite space, things start to repeat.
They look like us but with bad makeup. I learned that from watching Star Trek.
We aren't intelligent life.
Maybe we’re the Sims.
The Zoo hypothesis is kind of laughable.
why the stupid music, you think we need it, or it makes the vid more interesting ?....AFC vid..... anything for clicks right ?
If we don't have their technology, how do we know they have technology above ours? I'm just saying 😅 when will Area 51 be open for spaceship rides?
If they don't have technology above ours, then interstellar travel and more exotic methods of communicating via interstellar distances like embedding messages in gravitys waves, are closed to them. Our transmission are also pretty weak and with our own current technology we couldn't probably detect similar one from beyond about 200 light-years, which greatly limits the visibility of civilizations on our technological level to other civilizations and their ability to detect other civilizations.
This is why i even said it, I'm wondering if we all just can't communicate. 🫠
As I understand it, any signal from somewhere outside our solar system would take far to long to reach us, even at the speed of light.
Maybe we have heard and The Masters just haven't told us? Why would they tell us? It would cause a worldwide toilet paper shortage!
How bout ... The energy requirements prohibit interstellar travel for ANY of us living beings. They are at home surfing their own internet
Aliens don't want to communicate with us, you say why?, simple, because to the aliens we are still swinging in the trees.
So you're saying there's a Skynet hypothesis.😂😂
Very good and intuitive video. Just hope that USA is not part of our journey into the galaxies.
Is this an AI voice?
I guess my main issues is the amount of hubris exposed when you think you have any ability to understand an alien culture.
Its is the same amount of hubris and thinking error shown when talking about true AGI.
Humans know humans the best of any life in the universe and we regularly can't understand why some of us act and do the things we do, but we will regularly pontificate on why we do or dont see aliens, what their motives or interests might be to explain what we do or dont see.
I dont think it is a useless excercise, but there needs to be regular and concrete caveats letting everyone know, all of this is absolute fantasy.
The real paradox is that any one if us is alive to start with. Like why wasnt I john from 1833 or sarah from 2257, why now a concious and here.
And life should either be so normal we should easily have found it by now or so rate we are the only ones and technically shouldn't exist...
I mean even in the perfect lab conditions with everything perfect for life from non living stuff. Nothing ever appears.
Odd to how they make artificial coal and oil in just days or weeks as they claim it takes millions of years in nature...
How do we know exactly what the conditions were on Earth when life emerged from simple replicating systems?
You know what be the first thing somebody would do but try to steal the technology from them second they don't come here is how we treat each other we are very Savage look at all the alien movies we attacked first or try to cut them up scientific reasons not one movie tried to be be friends with them first
❤❤❤❤❤
We know nothing regarding exoplanets. It's all theory and conjecture...
If there is oil out there Texas will find it.
Being a police force in the universe.........how's that working on planet earth? Guess we need universe judges,DA,lawyers,jails prisons( what if earth is a jail or prison and those in jail /prison earth did some crime that we must know life and know death.....) and to tell a species that they can't do what they want to do .......that are smarter and tech advanced would be kinda funny
Dark forest.
Sumerians and all old civs say GODS CAME FROM THE SKY they say they gave us the knowledge. You get it. You have it on earth lots of histories monuments etz , but yes human still weak on their brain.
Consider using a normal voice rather than sounding like a game show host.
That’s an amazing idea👍
We've had highly developed civilizations on Earth before the last ice-age.
Yup, we're only lacking any evidence to prove it.
Had to stop half way in. Too long talking about those natives on that island. I thought this was supposed to be a video about Fermi paradox in relation to possible extraterrestrial civilizations, not people on an island living in the Stone Age. 👎
5. We are the dirty smelly kid of the universe. Since we haven't figured out clean energy or how NOT to pollute our planet, aliens look at Earthlings as that kid in Elementary that smelled bad with the 3 day old koolaid stain around his lips.
Dumb theory: there's intelligent life out there, just not as many as you see in certain sci-fi TV or movies.
