    I’m glad someone with a voice is finally making this very sound argument about the “great silence”. We way overestimate our ability to detect aliens at all. The “where are they” argument has always seemed so ridiculous. Even looking for techno signatures may be pointless. The odds that our current understanding of technology would match a detectable signature as to be recognizable seems almost infinitesimal. We MAY detect life if we get extremely lucky, but not detecting it is no proof of absence. We simply lack the ability.

      Yes, we have limited observation senses - an analogy is someone who develops short sightedness believing the ants they could once see have all disappeared.
      I find it fascinating that the human brain and sense of sight is still so limited it can’t even see UAP when they zip past, close range, at extremely high speeds. The perfect camouflage is speed for them as we humans are such slow thinkers. Alternately staying relatively motionless, like a star, is a perfect hiding technique, when it comes to hiding from humans on earth - for millenia.

      @davek00 7 місяців тому +6

      @llmarBeekman Exactly! Almost none of the popular astronomy personalities make this point. We’ve only just started to look, and yet our expectations greatly dwarf our ability to detect anything right now. The whole “Where are they?” question is ridiculously unsettled, yet it doesn’t stop many from assuming that we should have detected something by now.
      Jill Tarter is the only other science communicator I know of that says something similar.

      Completely agree! What is the reasoning in thinking that because we as humans do not detect E.T.s that then means they don’t exist. Humans are not that smart, we are not that important and the universe does not revolve around us,and our perceptions are not only effected collectively,, by memory and by experience, how is it that humans think that they would be able to perceive anything by our limited intelligence. Note and point even our academia is and has been proven to be not totally correct. Such as our physics and maths interpretation.

    I remember when I was young believing that there were almost certainly planets outside of our own solar system, considering that we had almost 10, and having a teacher respond in derision at my confidence for this belief, given that no exoplanets had been discovered at that point. I think this really did a number on my confidence in the subsequent years. I don't remember which teacher this was, I must have been maybe 8 at the time, but looking back on it now I think this exemplifies an incredible character flaw that a larger percentage of the population has, where many people seem to believe, essentially, if the consensus authority has said something is true, then it is definitely true, and if they have said that there is no evidence for something, then placing any kind of confidence in that thing is childish and ridiculous.

      It's dumb. One thing to think that there may not be life elsewhere, but formation of planets isn't that special. They already knew that there were lots of stars at that time. They only believe it because of social reasons, not really thinking it through and forming their own opinion.

      Current trends in the data are leaning towards invalidation of the Anthropic principle in Astronomy - we are in fact abnormal. G class dwarfs are in fact outside the 1st standard deviation. Ones without inner zone gas giants ("hot jupiters") are looking to be similarly outside 1 sigma. We thus should not consider the great silence to be meaningful; there's no reason to expect an Earth-like world within a range where our best telescopes can find them.

    • @stevenhetzel6483

      People don't connect the dots well. IF aliens are visiting us, it likely means they're right next door, or godlike.
      If they're right next door, I find it impossible to believe life isn't EVERYWHERE.
      If they're godlike, and still take interest in us, yet remain silent, Life itself is unbelievably rare and precious and not to be fiddled with. I did make a bit of a leap in that last statement but I think it gets the point across.
      "Hurrdurr Aliens" shouldn't be the end of the thought process, yet for most people it is.

    @Richard101stAB 7 місяців тому +4

    Adam is a great guest, and I look forward to future interviews. However, his views on evidence for UAP’s possibly being of extra-terrestrial origin are flawed. Yes, radar can generate false returns, highly trained observers can experience errors in perception, and the images released by the military are far from definitive. Where Adam is off base is that there are multiple documented incidents in which all three of these sensory modes - human, radar, and IR/visual - all recorded the same thing at the same time and place. Nothing illustrates this better than the Nimitz Incident. What are the odds that 4 pilots would experience a visual illusion in broad daylight at the exact time that the most advanced radar generated false tracks, and aircraft mounted sensors experienced a major glitch? Not likely.

    I mean, to anyone who's really been paying attention with any skeptical (yet open) mind -- there's a very solid argument that they are already here, and always have been. Starting to think we'll more or less know before the end of the decade. Time reveals a lot, simply through re-examination of what we already found through a finer/newer lens.
    It's possible that even the basic ontological and metaphysical assumptions we hold (but are often ignorant of) are entirely wrong; and that we're looking at reality in a flawed way.

      It seems odd that he doesn't at least take into account the process of declassification that had to happen before we got to see images of the Chineese balloon, and why we get to see that but not the high quality UAP images that pilots, astronauts, and members of congress all have stated on the record that they have seen.
      Also the testimony of the people who have encountered UAPS/UFOs at nuclear sites - the amount of witnesses and the level of corroboration they show - Adam Frank is of course correct in the fact that this is not nearly enough to satisfy what would be needed for scientific proof - but it seems like those cases should merit more than a scoffing dismissal.
      That said he is still more open minded than so many others on the topic, and I'm very glad that more work is being done in this area and that people feel more comfortable having these conversations.

    Would we even know if another race amongst the stars sent a signal, if they used a technique or method that we do not understand. Currently we are using radio transmissions, which are slow and do not spread well through space.

      Yeah. I like to think that we behave a bit like some island tribe in the middle of the pacific, who climbs mountains to look for camp fires and smoke signals from other tribes beyond the horizon. Blissfully unaware of all the radio signals around, and satellites above them; thinking they're alone in the ocean because there are no fires on the horizon, smoke signals to see, or horns to hear.

    John - I was always wondering if you ever played or read about the space MMO Eve online. They did a thing a few years back called "project discovery". It was an in game project where they used players for citizen science to sort through real exo planet data. Nobel laureate Michel Mayor helped run that exo planet project. The company (CCP games) later used project discovery and citizen science to help sort through covid data when they were developing the vaccine.
    Scott Manley used to play it, I'm not sure if he was playing when they did the exo planet project but he may have covered it. It was a really interesting story that didn't get much coverage.

    Great episode. I'm glad Adam is speaking about this. There seems to be a misconception that we have had the real ability to search for alien life and have thoroughly done so. There could be (I'm not saying there is) a civilization in alpha or proxima and we wouldn't have seen them yet unless they were beaming high power radio waves directly at us.
    It's good to hear the community and NASA are all in on searching now. We will need new search methods evolve and new tools.

    Regards the fuzzy alien craft pictures: during his Lex Fridman interview, Dave Favor of Navy Tic-tac fame shared very sharp pictures taken by the officer who sat behind him that clearly showed what looked like an antenna on the otherwise smooth, white surface. Why the sharp images, with clearly defined edges were not readily shared on national news sites is an interesting question.

    If the UAP are extraterrestrial tech, it's ignorant to assume we could photograph them in perfect quality when we wouldn't understand the tech that propels it in the first place, perhaps they (the phenomenon)have an effect on the atmosphere which would render sufficient image quality difficult or impossible. It's also possible that the UAP is evidence of different dimensions, inconsistencies in the simulation, or even the multi-verse hypothesis.

    We are not the only intelligent life in our Universe. It's a mathematical improbability! The size and distances of our observable universe is something that few are able to grasp.
    The big question is if another intelligent life has developed their technology to a point to enable them to transverse these impossible distances?

    I have heard you and various guests talk about the absence of advanced tech signatures as if it is some great mystery, but it really isn't.
    If a civilization gains the capacity to harness enough power to be interstellar in any meaningful way they may well decide that such exploration would be folly of the highest order. The hubris of our species leads us to believe that we are just a few years away from interplanetary travel (let alone travelling from star to star), but even that very modest step is probably incorrect, despite what Elon Musk says.
    The urge towards outward expansion that has driven humans to every corner of our landmasses has not driven us to explore the oceans of our own home planet. Even the planet we are sitting on is mostly unexplored - why? Because there's no benefit to going to the bottom of the ocean and it is very costly and dangerous. How much more so to explore outer space?
    It is much, much more likely that a mature and rational extraterrestrial civilization will stay put and manage their home to get the most out of it, and use the energy of their star to make themselves safe and possibly even transcend corporal limitations in ways we can only imagine right now.
    The fact that we look out into space and see no evidence of humanistic-style expansion should be a big signal saying that expansion is no way forward.

    Regarding his suggestion for proper scientific investigation definitely makes sense. However, most likely it will just show that everything can simply be explained by normal boring stuff like instrument glitches, etc. Which of course won't be accepted by the "I want to believe" part of the crowd and dismissed as another "government conspiracy" wanting to hide evidence or whatever.

I think the technology is just fierce, and it’s hard for the general public to be able to get a glimpse of them because they move so fast. While the military have multi million dollar sensors can detect them.

      @@asahearts1 it was sunset when the sun was still out. Directly over my head was a black triangle. it was huge. Had a red light directly in the center of it. Inside the red light there was like two whitish lights. The object disappeared as I was looking. I found it again, about of mile away or so away from my location. As the craft was tilting, the triangle literally started to disappear from the top towards the bottom, it took about 15 to 20 seconds for the whole thing to disappear. It’s not like it went behind a cloud, it literally started disappearing, so I don’t know if light was bending around the craft because how the light was hitting it, I don’t know. That was back in 2003 and it was the wildest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. There was also a helicopter that flew over the tree line with a guy hooked in hanging out so I don’t know if they were looking for the object because of radar hits I don’t know. But the next day there was an unmarked white van in our school parking lot. Dude had black sunglasses looked like he was definitely military or former, because of how big he was. black suit. And the license plate didn’t have a state ID on it. It was just a white license plate with black lettering. Now, if this craft was human, OK but I I find that more unbelievable than ET because where would you house it? Why would it be in mid Michigan and not over like area 51? The best way I could describe this to you is if you go outside and if you put your hands into a triangle formation and you separated by about 2 to 3 inches, that’s for how much of the sky blocked out. It was roughly cloud height.

    You shouldn't make the assumption that life is simply "an organic chemical process". Life _relies_ on organic chemical processes but we have absolutely no idea where life came from or how life came about. We don't even have a completely concrete definition of what life is. Abiogenesis has still not been proven despite decades upon decades of research and attempts. That's not even to mention that consciousness itself is completely inexplicable. We don't even know how thoughts or ideas are created or stored. It seems likely there are fundamental truths we are ignorant of in regards to life.
