Aliens: *arrives in earth's atmosphere undetected* Humans: *eats laundry detergent and starts filming their own dead and posting it to the internet* Aliens: *leaves*
That's a valid theory. Maybe who knows. It's a theory that aliens found us not that interesting to be explored.. Dumb creatures who kill each other and who kill the planet which we live in.
"So, what ar you waiting for? Live in a way that makes travelling light-years just to hang out with you worth it." One of the most motivating lines I've heard in my life.

I have nostalgic memory of watching this video today. It was around 2014! When I was in College, the curios me watched this piece of Infotainment and was baffled with the same. Today it is past mid 2022 and almost 8 years since I last watched. Those old memories crept coming up now.
This is why I am afraid to die. Not because of the pain. Because I'll miss out on everything. Possible Interstellar travel and meeting aliens. How the history of our civilizations will be. Fuckin' sucks mate.
I understand you. We will be more intelligent, more healthy, and we would advance at a rate ten times more shocking than the rate electricity gave us. But that comes at a cost. Our culture. What we have constructed in our existance will be replaced, one by one, building by building, language by language, by a more efficient, futuristic, and beautiful one. By a non-human one. Piece by piece, the human cultures would fade away. If an alien would ask us today "What have you achieved as a species, without the help of any other?" We could be talking for hours about incredible things that we have made by ourselves, while two thousand years later, we would be silent or refer only to the distant past. Which would be like talking about Rome or Ancient Egypt. Fascinating, but ancient and outdated. I am not saying that the sacrifice of our culture is not worth it, because it really, REALLY is worth it. Just saying that we have a larger opportunity to enjoy our own culture than our distant children will.
A reporter once said that humans will not achieve flight for another million years. The Wright brothers' Kitty Hawk flight happened and succeeded a few months later.
Shelter Blyat he means the videos don’t feel the same, but I understand that constantly doing the same style every video gets stale overtime so I don’t blame him, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be annoyed
Anyone else think about the fact that you could be looking up at a star in the night sky and in that solar system their could be an intelligent being there looking back at one of your ancestors without ever knowing it
The second biggest problem in traveling light speed is accelerating without killing the passengers, the first is obviously we have no clue how to get so fast.
that could be true but that would imply life started on their planet the same time it started on ours which is highly improbable. it's more likely if aliens exist they've existed longer than us and therefore are more technologically advanced
in 2069? NASA engineers can't plan what they will eat for breakfast in 40 days. But in 40 years time. Sure? Why not?. NASA might not exist by then. Those same engineers will be ancient sclerotic farts or dead. I would rather believe in Maria's words about the immaculate conception than that we will reach a star. At least, we know Jeebus came out of a vagina.
Ivan darling, you sound so so greedy and pissed, honey, I feel with you. Oh, those bad rocket scientists! Did they not ask you? I have a second shock for you: Indeed do they know exactly the day when in forty years they will start to fly to Mars or whatever. It is not easy to tell a complete moron like you; you of course never heard about stuff like LaGrange-points, etc, but: you cannot go into your rocket and just fly. You need every planet on the exactly place, and you now, if you saw more than three years your school from inside, when this day will be. Simple mathematics. I fear you have to live with that fact.
Carl Sagan suggested that, due to the immense universe, intelligent beings as civilizations could come and go, at different time periods, perhaps for thousands of years, yet each either becoming extinct before encountering another. He used a Christmas tree with lights, showing that by the time intelligent beings from one 'light' would reach another, it's light would be burnt/out. It would take a great cosmic coincidence that two would meet, but that if they did, it would be two AI robotic units making the encounter.
It is presumptuous to assume *each and every single* civilization would extinct before they meet. There is no guidebook to lifespan of a planetary civilization. Human civilization have existed for a few thousand years now, the only thing we take example from is our destructive nature. But even us haven't gone extinct yet. And there is great chance for us to exist for millions of years more. Even under the worst case scenario. Sure, we don't know if other intelligent beings will be more or less violent than us, but even if they were just the same as us, they would still have the same great chance. So there is no base for to assume a civilization would only exist for a very brief time period. There could be other dangers than self extinction, but there is scientific evidence that natural disasters, whether planetary or from space, can take very, very long time to repeat, enough time to allow a civilization to spread to other planets. Just like the PBS Space Time channel host, I reject to believe the Fermi Paradox. There are only a few logical explanations to the reason we haven't met any other civilization. 1- "Intelligent" life is rarer than our thought (we're the only intelligent race we know of) 2- Space travel is harder than our guess and there is no way to work around the speed of light - things like wormholes don't exist.
I think we can easily achieve that by becoming immortal ourselves, yes it'll take quite a while but we can simply become androids with our consciousness in our processors and our body made of strong durable materials, if we achieve that, if we become AI or part-cyborg part-human, us the human race can very well meet someone else who either did the same, or another machine race altogether.

“Live your life in a way that makes traveling light years just to hang out with you... worth it.” That’s an awesome thought! I think I’ll be remembering that for the rest of my life.
Very true wkblauwster, i actually always think about that, but I don't see how we could be the only planet in the entire universe with living organisms, that would be a bit ridiculous. I think that there are living beings in forms so foreign to us, that we pass over them without giving it a thought. Like, maybe there are living planets.
demon mutant ninja zombie What if there WAS life on another planet, but it was wiped out by some cataclysmic extinction event on their planet? Or they figured out we were here, and died trying to get to us? I am a strong believer that we are not alone in this universe. The chance of habitable conditions for life as we know it is incredibly slim, but divided by the estimated amount of planets in the known universe, there IS life on other planets. But maybe we will never come into contact with them. Maybe when we do come into contact with them, it will just be a few surviving colonists long after earth, and the rest of the human race, has been wiped out.
I miss this channel so much 😢WOW, over a decade ago and you wouldn’t even know it! His videos stand the test of time. High production, his unique cadence, the rhythm and flow, and how the videos are made/produced and let’s not forget the interesting subjects. He was one of the first channels to do these type of videos successfully and the others modeled themselves after him and not much has changed since. He mastered the formula and other channels have been copying him since. He was one of the first to start this thirst for knowledge niche on YT and to be so successful at it.
I just downloaded A Slower Speed of Light and dang, that’s neat. What no one talks about is the field of view behind your ship and how things you’re travelling away from appear to be right behind you.
I like watching space videos because it really gets me down to earth, we aren’t as important as we think, my life is not even a point in time, my problems seem so small when I realize how much we still don’t know about life therefore I feel hopeful to try to still be alive just to know what else happens
While it would be cool to see it all, it is our job to work and put the foundation down for our future generations to complete our work. If we don't start trying then the future generations won't be able to explore outside of Earth
Not necessarily. Artificial intelligence "if" invented could bring these things sooner. Always hope for the best. We may have a chance to see some of these thing ! Take care
I think if we all wouldnt think like this, and start working for theese cool things, we might travel to other star after 50 years already. But that would mean, we all have to work hard.
I think we've been dumbed down for that reason, we are as smart as we are going to get, we know of a warp drive that is scientifically possible we just dont know how to harness the energy which is only being held back by our stupid government.
This makes me consider the possibility that perhaps instead of being alone or not worth visiting, that maybe instead we are the first to reach this level of technology, even if that is unlikely given the age and size of the observable universe.
maybe it's not even that old, that's just our perspective To us "1 year" is a long time, but all that is is a measurement of how long it takes earth to go around the sun. Aka it's a completely irrelevant outside of measuring our time in a way that makes sense to us
The paradox is that, if the universe is as old as we think it is, and infinitely large as we think it is, probability determines that there IS life out there on a similar technological level as us, but there also SHOULD exist life eons more advanced. Given the age of the universe and the possible age of life within it, interstellar travel should be happening already if it is possible, and so raises the question of why we haven't been visited. So, it's most-likely impossible, or so nearly impossible that it's incredibly rare, or so nearly impossible that life usually goes extinct before ever effectively achieving it.
Well... As you were saying in your video "our narrow slice", in the year 1903 the New York Times were speculating humanity to be able to build a flying vehicle within 1-10 million years of time. And yet the Wright brothers managed to do just that within the same year. Also one of them apparently said that flying from New York to Paris would never be possible. So, taking our way of thinking in that past into consideration, what's to say we aren't doing the same mistake in estimating our capability of interstellar space travel in the future right now? In the last few hundred years human technology and ingenuity has improved exponentially. So I honestly wouldn't put it past us to get there within the next few hundred years.
We could definitely launch a crewed vehicle by the end of the century. But we'd be limited to a few percent of lightspeed, which would make the journey decades or centuries long, and a return trip impractical, if not impossible. We would also need to use nukes. Eventually we may develop photonic laser thrusters to the point where we can travel at functional lightspeed: c/sqrt(2). This a speed where time dilation would result in the proper time of the journey to be equivalent to the amount of time a photon would take in an external frame. Essentially, you would measure your speed as lightspeed, using your time measurements and an external frame's space measurements.
Why is it shitty, because it uses fission bombs for propulsion? Can you think of a better use for them? Granted, it's a hazard to life on Earth while it's being constructed, but once it's left our orbit, we're in no danger from it, and the amount of nuclear waste it generates is infinitesimal compared to the volume of space in our solar system. I think the risk would be worth it.
@pjd412 good pointer. while comparing we need to discern between "reasonably probable though not practically" from "not reasonably probable in the first place".
There's also the possibility that other intelligent life on other planets might have arisen millions of years before earth formed and have went extinct, thus they don't visit us now. I heard this in your human extinction video and I thought it would be cool to bring this up.
"Life doesn't exist anywhere but earth? That's like filling a cup with ocean water and saying there aren't any whales in the ocean." Neil deGrasse Tyson
In 1903 the new York times said it would take 1-10 million years before man could make a machine that Flys , 10 or so years later the wright brothers flew a plane this proves that anything is possible someone could make something in 10 years that makes us travel at the speed of light it could be me or you.
Nerdology INC Light speed is impossible with conventional propulsion. The Theory of Relativity states this well, as an infinite amount of energy is required to allow anything with mass to travel the speed of light.
We assume, for some reason, that aliens would be more technologically advanced than us, but the fact that we haven't been visited yet could indicate that aliens are as advanced as we are (or even less advanced) and haven't achieved interstellar travel yet. Who says aliens ARE smarter than us? Who says they're more advanced than we are? Maybe they were born as a species one million years ago, or maybe barely 15.000 years ago. Who knows. Maybe we wil be the first species to visit another intelligent life form.
TCBYEAHCUZ Unlikely with the Presumably Infinite Amount of Races all begin inning at different times thousands of Highly advanced FTL races must have and must be visiting us. #UFOSIGHTINGS
bowser jr Then they would be from higher dimensions, Not in our realm of existence, Because the probability of None of these advanced intelligent civilisations being caught by our observation is higher if thousands of different beings visited us.
bowser jr They wouldn't bend light to cloak themselves, because then it would be even easier to see the presence,They would look like the gravitational lensing, Instead I bet the aliens would just find a way to allow their armor to absorb light from behind it and emitt it perfectly towards the viewer, giving an illusion that nothing has been changed to the light, making the unit invisible, We can already do this with todays technology it is just very bulky. I understand that thousands upon thousands of UFO's, strange lights and such have been spotted, but look at where we are? No where, We haven't made ANY progress on these sightings, Any legitimate firm, Organisation and government still doesn't really invest or put some fucking effort into ratfying with scientific basis on any of these sightings. We're still in the dark and no one wants to fucking do anything about it. Pisses me off.
bowser jr I think you misunderstood, I didn't say it WAS Gravitational lensing, I just said that it they bended light around their ship it would look like gravitational lensing, Obviously it isn't. But yes I agree with you, I'd make more sense to cover up and keep people ignorant. There are too many conclusion jumpers who would preach it as the end days.
Suppose I build a ship that can reach 98% the Speed of Light and I take off for Alpha Centauri? Half way there my ship strikes a tiny piece of gravel and totally disintegrates. What should the next mission do differently? Sometimes incredulous amounts of Technology can run into the most simple obstacles...
If we ever travelled at 98 pct the speed of light, how and at what point would we need to slow down. If you slowed too quickly, you might not be able to withstand the g forces. Also, at that speed, would it be possible to make slight course corrections? And finally, if you couldn't see where you're going, how would you know if you were on course? Wow, way too many unanswered questions.
If your ship strikes a tiny piece of gravel and totally disintegrates I think the next mission should devise a better way to detect and avoid tiny pieces of gravel. Lasers to disintegrate tiny gravel before impact may work. Also the front end of a ship containing self sealing layers alternating between water and compressed gas can absorb most small impacts.
We might have to slow our velocity by a few milliseconds to allow for a laser's return time, but our technology will take a few thousand years to advance to this type of problem to be an issue. Any "craft" that can travel near light speed will have to overcome problems that aren't even in the realm of sci-fi at present time. Cool to think about nonetheless.
no, that wouldn't be the obstacle, the obstacle would be that the ship would incinerate in seconds due to the tremendous amount of gamma rays hitting the ship + combined with the speed + combined with running into more gamma rays with the speed + relativity = well shit we're fucked

Vsauce is the only channel I can think of where I’ve gone back to videos over 10 years old to enjoy them again. Everything else I used to watch I grew out of. Except this. Speaking of which, how the hell did 10 year old me even know what was going on.
"1,104 years from today" We thought that the flying machine would be made in the next 10 million years, then it was invented later that year. The point is, we don't know how the future will unfold..
Where are you citing that 10 million years figure from? Which flying machine are you referring to? Yes you are generally right that people will overestimate predictions. But people have also famously predicted stuff like nuclear fusion and fully humanlike AI to only be a decade or two away - only to half a century or more without achieving it. Michael basically summed it up: it's more a matter of it you're an optimist or a pessimist. And keep in mind, 1104 year was already consider an "optimistic" estimate. We could in speculate interstellar even sooner than a millenia, since we can't truly be sure. But you'd have very little concrete basis for such an estimate, and could just as easily speculate that it will take way longer than a millenia if you didn't decide to be optimistic with baseless speculation. And yes no one can say you're wrong necessarily, but it's also not really adding much to the conversation that the video didn't already cover.
@@IronicHavoc This entire prediction is based on our current rate of technological improvement of speed extrapolated into the future. There's nothing saying that that rate won't speed up, or slow down, or that sudden massive jumps won't happen, or that they will. The real answer is that we just don't know how, when or if it will happen or not. This is just our best guess given what we know and see right now. Treating it as concrete isn't as sensible as you might think. The quote about a flying machine taking one to ten million years to develop was from the New York Times in October 1903, and it was based on the evolution of birds compared with the effort of engineers, it was mocking a failed attempt at a flying machine by Samuel Piermont Langley that same month, and assuring that his second try in December would fail as well. They were right of course, in that Langley's machines would fail both times, but they didn't predict the success of the Wright Brothers. Mentioning it is encouragement to be optimistic if nothing else, because not being so is pretty depressing.
you realise there was bird at that time right? there different between flying through air or space, its much harder. we havent even fully explored our ocean, our planet yet you think we can make light speed aircraft in our lifetime? no
@@superknightlol I could make the same argument about landing on the moon before 1969. Lol Our technological improvements are not dependent on how much of our ocean we've explored.
@@belland_dog8235 we will never visit other star not that you will know it if it happen because you are dead. to travel at lightspeed you need to have no mass not to mention space debris even as small as sand grain can destroy spacecraft at such speed. there a reason they plan to launch 10000? space sail bcs lot of them will be destroyed and thats only 25% light speed.
D1sc He already talked about this in one of his videos but I'm sorry I can't remember which one :/ it's funny because I was just thinking of that vid when I came across this comment I wish I could remember cos it's a good one
What's so mind blowing is despite the distance between our solar system and the nearest STAR being unfathomably far (4.2 light years away).... We still have the distance between our galaxy, the Milky Way, and Andromeda (2.537 MILLION light years away) that dwarfs that already unfathomable distance. No words can properly convey these distances. All we can do is attribute TIME in the thousands to millions of years to give these distances some weight in our minds. It's just too (pick a descriptor you think is best) for us to meaningfully grasp.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how well Vsauce's videos have aged.

I have nostalgic memory of watching this video today. It was around 2014! When I was in College, the curios me watched this piece of Infotainment and was baffled with the same. Today it is past mid 2022 and almost 8 years since I last watched. Those old memories crept coming up now.
This is why I am afraid to die. Not because of the pain. Because I'll miss out on everything. Possible Interstellar travel and meeting aliens. How the history of our civilizations will be. Fuckin' sucks mate.
I agree but I think we still have a lot to look forward to.
I understand you. We will be more intelligent, more healthy, and we would advance at a rate ten times more shocking than the rate electricity gave us. But that comes at a cost. Our culture. What we have constructed in our existance will be replaced, one by one, building by building, language by language, by a more efficient, futuristic, and beautiful one. By a non-human one. Piece by piece, the human cultures would fade away. If an alien would ask us today "What have you achieved as a species, without the help of any other?" We could be talking for hours about incredible things that we have made by ourselves, while two thousand years later, we would be silent or refer only to the distant past. Which would be like talking about Rome or Ancient Egypt. Fascinating, but ancient and outdated. I am not saying that the sacrifice of our culture is not worth it, because it really, REALLY is worth it. Just saying that we have a larger opportunity to enjoy our own culture than our distant children will.
We all are really not grateful of what we have now. If you were to be born in the 15th century so what will you do.
+Ringuin None claimed that this is going to happen. We're discussing if it happens. IF. A "what if" scenario, you know?

Or they are copying our methods, using Facebook whilst blending into society
The second biggest problem in traveling light speed is accelerating without killing the passengers, the first is obviously we have no clue how to get so fast.
that could be true but that would imply life started on their planet the same time it started on ours which is highly improbable. it's more likely if aliens exist they've existed longer than us and therefore are more technologically advanced

Those same engineers will be ancient sclerotic farts or dead. I would rather believe in Maria's words about the immaculate conception than that we will reach a star. At least, we know Jeebus came out of a vagina.

Ivan darling, you sound so so greedy and pissed, honey, I feel with you. Oh, those bad rocket scientists! Did they not ask you?
I have a second shock for you: Indeed do they know exactly the day when in forty years they will start to fly to Mars or whatever. It is not easy to tell a complete moron like you; you of course never heard about stuff like LaGrange-points, etc, but: you cannot go into your rocket and just fly. You need every planet on the exactly place, and you now, if you saw more than three years your school from inside, when this day will be. Simple mathematics. I fear you have to live with that fact.
Carl Sagan suggested that, due to the immense universe, intelligent beings as civilizations could come and go, at different time periods, perhaps for thousands of years, yet each either becoming extinct before encountering another. He used a Christmas tree with lights, showing that by the time intelligent beings from one 'light' would reach another, it's light would be burnt/out. It would take a great cosmic coincidence that two would meet, but that if they did, it would be two AI robotic units making the encounter.
Condor Umm I think we should send Watson
It is presumptuous to assume *each and every single* civilization would extinct before they meet. There is no guidebook to lifespan of a planetary civilization. Human civilization have existed for a few thousand years now, the only thing we take example from is our destructive nature. But even us haven't gone extinct yet. And there is great chance for us to exist for millions of years more. Even under the worst case scenario. Sure, we don't know if other intelligent beings will be more or less violent than us, but even if they were just the same as us, they would still have the same great chance. So there is no base for to assume a civilization would only exist for a very brief time period.
There could be other dangers than self extinction, but there is scientific evidence that natural disasters, whether planetary or from space, can take very, very long time to repeat, enough time to allow a civilization to spread to other planets.
Just like the PBS Space Time channel host, I reject to believe the Fermi Paradox. There are only a few logical explanations to the reason we haven't met any other civilization. 1- "Intelligent" life is rarer than our thought (we're the only intelligent race we know of) 2- Space travel is harder than our guess and there is no way to work around the speed of light - things like wormholes don't exist.
Greasy King nonsense
I think we can easily achieve that by becoming immortal ourselves, yes it'll take quite a while but we can simply become androids with our consciousness in our processors and our body made of strong durable materials, if we achieve that, if we become AI or part-cyborg part-human, us the human race can very well meet someone else who either did the same, or another machine race altogether.

“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”
― Arthur C. Clarke
Very true wkblauwster, i actually always think about that, but I don't see how we could be the only planet in the entire universe with living organisms, that would be a bit ridiculous. I think that there are living beings in forms so foreign to us, that we pass over them without giving it a thought. Like, maybe there are living planets.
Danny Helser What happens if humanity dies before we find out? That is even more terrifying.
demon mutant ninja zombie What if there WAS life on another planet, but it was wiped out by some cataclysmic extinction event on their planet? Or they figured out we were here, and died trying to get to us? I am a strong believer that we are not alone in this universe. The chance of habitable conditions for life as we know it is incredibly slim, but divided by the estimated amount of planets in the known universe, there IS life on other planets. But maybe we will never come into contact with them. Maybe when we do come into contact with them, it will just be a few surviving colonists long after earth, and the rest of the human race, has been wiped out.

Not necessarily. Artificial intelligence "if" invented could bring these things sooner. Always hope for the best. We may have a chance to see some of these thing ! Take care
I think if we all wouldnt think like this, and start working for theese cool things, we might travel to other star after 50 years already. But that would mean, we all have to work hard.
I think we've been dumbed down for that reason, we are as smart as we are going to get, we know of a warp drive that is scientifically possible we just dont know how to harness the energy which is only being held back by our stupid government.
This makes me consider the possibility that perhaps instead of being alone or not worth visiting, that maybe instead we are the first to reach this level of technology, even if that is unlikely given the age and size of the observable universe.
maybe it's not even that old, that's just our perspective
To us "1 year" is a long time, but all that is is a measurement of how long it takes earth to go around the sun. Aka it's a completely irrelevant outside of measuring our time in a way that makes sense to us

Best Friend a
Or maybe just microorganisms
The paradox is that, if the universe is as old as we think it is, and infinitely large as we think it is, probability determines that there IS life out there on a similar technological level as us, but there also SHOULD exist life eons more advanced. Given the age of the universe and the possible age of life within it, interstellar travel should be happening already if it is possible, and so raises the question of why we haven't been visited.
So, it's most-likely impossible, or so nearly impossible that it's incredibly rare, or so nearly impossible that life usually goes extinct before ever effectively achieving it.

Well... As you were saying in your video "our narrow slice", in the year 1903 the New York Times were speculating humanity to be able to build a flying vehicle within 1-10 million years of time. And yet the Wright brothers managed to do just that within the same year. Also one of them apparently said that flying from New York to Paris would never be possible. So, taking our way of thinking in that past into consideration, what's to say we aren't doing the same mistake in estimating our capability of interstellar space travel in the future right now? In the last few hundred years human technology and ingenuity has improved exponentially. So I honestly wouldn't put it past us to get there within the next few hundred years.
We could definitely launch a crewed vehicle by the end of the century. But we'd be limited to a few percent of lightspeed, which would make the journey decades or centuries long, and a return trip impractical, if not impossible. We would also need to use nukes.
Eventually we may develop photonic laser thrusters to the point where we can travel at functional lightspeed: c/sqrt(2). This a speed where time dilation would result in the proper time of the journey to be equivalent to the amount of time a photon would take in an external frame. Essentially, you would measure your speed as lightspeed, using your time measurements and an external frame's space measurements.
Use nukes for what? Just like Project Orion? Why would you want to use that shitty project anyways...
Well, in 1985, back to the future predicted we'd have hoverboards and time machines in 2015. Didn't exactly happen, did it?
Why is it shitty, because it uses fission bombs for propulsion? Can you think of a better use for them? Granted, it's a hazard to life on Earth while it's being constructed, but once it's left our orbit, we're in no danger from it, and the amount of nuclear waste it generates is infinitesimal compared to the volume of space in our solar system. I think the risk would be worth it.
@pjd412 good pointer. while comparing we need to discern between "reasonably probable though not practically" from "not reasonably probable in the first place".
There's also the possibility that other intelligent life on other planets might have arisen millions of years before earth formed and have went extinct, thus they don't visit us now.
I heard this in your human extinction video and I thought it would be cool to bring this up.

We assume, for some reason, that aliens would be more technologically advanced than us, but the fact that we haven't been visited yet could indicate that aliens are as advanced as we are (or even less advanced) and haven't achieved interstellar travel yet.
Who says aliens ARE smarter than us? Who says they're more advanced than we are?
Maybe they were born as a species one million years ago, or maybe barely 15.000 years ago.
Who knows.
Maybe we wil be the first species to visit another intelligent life form.
Maby we will become the advanced intelligent civilisation who visits other civilisations without violating the prime directive.
TCBYEAHCUZ Unlikely with the Presumably Infinite Amount of Races all begin inning at different times thousands of Highly advanced FTL races must have and must be visiting us. #UFOSIGHTINGS
bowser jr Then they would be from higher dimensions, Not in our realm of existence, Because the probability of None of these advanced intelligent civilisations being caught by our observation is higher if thousands of different beings visited us.
bowser jr They wouldn't bend light to cloak themselves, because then it would be even easier to see the presence,They would look like the gravitational lensing, Instead I bet the aliens would just find a way to allow their armor to absorb light from behind it and emitt it perfectly towards the viewer, giving an illusion that nothing has been changed to the light, making the unit invisible, We can already do this with todays technology it is just very bulky.
I understand that thousands upon thousands of UFO's, strange lights and such have been spotted, but look at where we are? No where, We haven't made ANY progress on these sightings, Any legitimate firm, Organisation and government still doesn't really invest or put some fucking effort into ratfying with scientific basis on any of these sightings.

"Live your life in a way that makes travelling light-years just to hang out with you worth it" Cold quote
Suppose I build a ship that can reach 98% the Speed of Light and I take off for Alpha Centauri? Half way there my ship strikes a tiny piece of gravel and totally disintegrates. What should the next mission do differently? Sometimes incredulous amounts of Technology can run into the most simple obstacles...
If we ever travelled at 98 pct the speed of light, how and at what point would we need to slow down. If you slowed too quickly, you might not be able to withstand the g forces. Also, at that speed, would it be possible to make slight course corrections? And finally, if you couldn't see where you're going, how would you know if you were on course? Wow, way too many unanswered questions.
If your ship strikes a tiny piece of gravel and totally disintegrates I think the next mission should devise a better way to detect and avoid tiny pieces of gravel. Lasers to disintegrate tiny gravel before impact may work. Also the front end of a ship containing self sealing layers alternating between water and compressed gas can absorb most small impacts.
We might have to slow our velocity by a few milliseconds to allow for a laser's return time, but our technology will take a few thousand years to advance to this type of problem to be an issue. Any "craft" that can travel near light speed will have to overcome problems that aren't even in the realm of sci-fi at present time. Cool to think about nonetheless.
That happened to me on my skateboard.
no, that wouldn't be the obstacle, the obstacle would be that the ship would incinerate in seconds due to the tremendous amount of gamma rays hitting the ship + combined with the speed + combined with running into more gamma rays with the speed + relativity = well shit we're fucked

"1,104 years from today"
We thought that the flying machine would be made in the next 10 million years, then it was invented later that year.
The point is, we don't know how the future will unfold..
Where are you citing that 10 million years figure from? Which flying machine are you referring to?
Yes you are generally right that people will overestimate predictions. But people have also famously predicted stuff like nuclear fusion and fully humanlike AI to only be a decade or two away - only to half a century or more without achieving it. Michael basically summed it up: it's more a matter of it you're an optimist or a pessimist.
And keep in mind, 1104 year was already consider an "optimistic" estimate. We could in speculate interstellar even sooner than a millenia, since we can't truly be sure. But you'd have very little concrete basis for such an estimate, and could just as easily speculate that it will take way longer than a millenia if you didn't decide to be optimistic with baseless speculation.
And yes no one can say you're wrong necessarily, but it's also not really adding much to the conversation that the video didn't already cover.
@@IronicHavoc This entire prediction is based on our current rate of technological improvement of speed extrapolated into the future. There's nothing saying that that rate won't speed up, or slow down, or that sudden massive jumps won't happen, or that they will.
The real answer is that we just don't know how, when or if it will happen or not. This is just our best guess given what we know and see right now. Treating it as concrete isn't as sensible as you might think.
The quote about a flying machine taking one to ten million years to develop was from the New York Times in October 1903, and it was based on the evolution of birds compared with the effort of engineers, it was mocking a failed attempt at a flying machine by Samuel Piermont Langley that same month, and assuring that his second try in December would fail as well. They were right of course, in that Langley's machines would fail both times, but they didn't predict the success of the Wright Brothers.
Mentioning it is encouragement to be optimistic if nothing else, because not being so is pretty depressing.
you realise there was bird at that time right? there different between flying through air or space, its much harder.
we havent even fully explored our ocean, our planet yet you think we can make light speed aircraft in our lifetime? no
@@superknightlol I could make the same argument about landing on the moon before 1969. Lol Our technological improvements are not dependent on how much of our ocean we've explored.
@@belland_dog8235 we will never visit other star not that you will know it if it happen because you are dead.
to travel at lightspeed you need to have no mass not to mention space debris even as small as sand grain can destroy spacecraft at such speed. there a reason they plan to launch 10000? space sail bcs lot of them will be destroyed and thats only 25% light speed.
Whenever i watch Videos like these, I imagine going back in time to show it to scientists back then and just thinking of their reactions
Vsauce: Destroying hope, and dreams since 2010. Jk.
Every joke has a bit of joke, y'know
You should make a "Is it possible to create a galaxy?"
It isent possible to do that
Neil Armstrong Explain.
D1sc He already talked about this in one of his videos but I'm sorry I can't remember which one :/ it's funny because I was just thinking of that vid when I came across this comment I wish I could remember cos it's a good one
D1sc ...nothing is impossible
Infinite Creations I never said anything was impossible.
Star? We can't even visit our own Sun.
No need. Our Sun isn't going anywhere.
Yes we can; just go at night. Duh.
Jeez dude are you dumb?
Burt1038 wow
+Burt1038 I pressed "like".
What's so mind blowing is despite the distance between our solar system and the nearest STAR being unfathomably far (4.2 light years away).... We still have the distance between our galaxy, the Milky Way, and Andromeda (2.537 MILLION light years away) that dwarfs that already unfathomable distance. No words can properly convey these distances.
All we can do is attribute TIME in the thousands to millions of years to give these distances some weight in our minds. It's just too (pick a descriptor you think is best) for us to meaningfully grasp.
Humans aren't the only intelligent life on the universe!
Vsauce is.
You are right. Octopus are also very intelligent
He is going to build the first ship that can slip space.
He is going to build The Pillar of Autumn.
Is vsauce, or are vsauce
FL2070 but what is life
*music starts*
