  • The Zoo Hypothesis is a Fermi Paradox solution that assumes extraterrestrial civilizations can't be detected by our SETI efforts because they keep our whole world in an Alien Zoo.

    The Earth isn't just a zoo. It's a reality TV show produced for the entertainment of the rest of the universe. Aliens love their trashy intergalactic programming. South Park knows the truth.

    Theory: Isaac is the alien ( how else would he know so much? ), and he is trying to ease our transition into the galactic society with his work, so this video is pretty meta :P

    In a novel series I’m writing, the main premise is that an entire extraterrestrial federation with intentions to study the entire Local Group (or further, if they can reach beyond the Local Group) have been studying sapient civilizations from the shadows (non-intrusively) since the dawn of the Human Genus, and humans aren’t the only species that were studied. Basically, the first novel starts with said federation deciding to make first contact with humanity after Apollo 11 happened. Their envoy was supposed to arrive by wormhole in 2016 to start offering trade and federation membership to Humanity in addition to new tech, but they wind up being 20 years late due to a miscalculation.

    I find myself wondering, could first contact itself be a Great Filter? While "I saved a civilization" makes a great epitath, "I drowned a civilization in a sea of blood by accident" is the sort of stuff that can motivate nations to make sure it doesn't happen again.

    Well, this zoo animal is happy as long as he gets the regular allotment of Isaac Arthur videos. Our alien zookeepers obviously know their stuff when it comes to keeping their charges content!

    "Be vewy, vewy quiet. I'm hunting da awiens." I can understand you just fine, Isaac! Love bingewatching your channel. Thank you!

    I prefer the Quarantine aspect of the Zoo Hypothesis, where they aren't talking to us because we're, for one reason or another, absolutely terrifying.

    I’m pretty early, so I can congratulate Isaac first on what is sure to be a fascinating episode. I just hope our keepers bring apples instead of cabbage today, because if not , I will definitely throw some poo at a grandma!

    Always love the Fermi episodes. Happy to see your channel continue to grow Isaac! Keep up the great work. The comments reflect how much demand these types of videos have.
