- 6 Solutions to the Fermi Paradox
1) and 2) The Berserker Hypothesis and the Dark Forest Theory. Are we alone in the universe?
One of the most essential mysteries of the universe that science has not yet been able to solve is whether life exists anywhere else in the universe besides on Earth.
Scientists have tried to answer this question for years without a clear answer. There could be life out there, but if that's the case, why haven't we found it yet?
3) Fermi Paradox: The Rare Earth hypothesis
Basically, according to this hypothesis, life and the evolution of complexity require a combination of astrophysical and geological conditions that are simply not common in our Universe. In other words, we are quite special and unique.
4) Could Earth be an extraterrestrial zoo?
North Sentinel Island is a place where a tribe that separated from the rest of civilization more than 60 thousand years ago and who are currently studied from a distance as if they were a zoo.
5)Alien Police Scenario of the Fermi Paradox
The Alien Police Scenario.
Predicting what technology will be like in a century or even thousands of years is a game of educated guesswork. For example, during the American Civil War, no one could have foreseen that a century later, the atom would be tamed and nuclear weapons with the ability to end civilization would exist.
6)Zombie Apocalypse Universe - Fighting for Survival (Fermi Paradox Solution)
Welcome to a journey beyond the stars. Today, we dive into the speculative realms of the Zombie Universe Hypothesis - a wild yet intriguing idea that may shed light on one of the greatest cosmic mysteries of our time.

I was laying in bed listening to this and I decided to get up and leave a comment because I think it was done very well and I enjoyed it
You’re every UA-camrs dream commenter.
They don't have to be very rare to be hopelessly far away.
This is true. If it is impossible to bypass the limit of the speed of light, no matter how advanced a civilization gets, then the distance required to ensure we never meet them is pretty small.
If that was the case, I'd start looking for extremely small space probes, the size of a grain of dust or even smaller. Low mass means low force required for a high acceleration, and if the speed of light is the speed limit, then the best crafts are the ones that can accelerate the fastest. This would also rule out the possibility for organic passengers, so we shouldn't expect vessels to be big enough to hold occupants.
They may not emit very strong signals, or they may communicate over gravitational waves, selectively reflecting flashes from a pulsar to create binary data, or some other method of communication besides EMF transmitted from the craft.
There is nothing else out there in this dimension the only intelligence out there are higher dimension beings.
@cyleleghorn246 no probes needed we have intergalactic beings here on earth already. No life outside of our earth far as fleshly beings.
Exactly
The chance of us being here is a clear indication of another presence ❤ it is just a matter of time.
The berserker theory is probably the correct one. It could even be a combination of biological and technological replication
These videos are always so long and drawn out without ever providing any new information that actual scientist channels provide.
I can never finish out of boredom.
For real
How can you determine the information if you never finish the videos?
I watch this channel at 1.75x speed and I still get bored of the factless platitudes
But if we ask a question how are we to find the answers??.
@@lisacox8109 you can ask my friend, Google. He is always trying to be helpful so we'd like him. You know, THAT kind of friend
There's life everywhere we are so limited on what we can see and everything is lied about kept secret or just not told to the public there's information but not everyone gets it
We have not yet photographed one exoplanet and have no idea what an exoplanet even looks like yet we've decided that Earth is special and life only started here
You can’t blame ignorance. We all have our theories! But we haven’t ever seen any outside life. It’s like trying to imagine the color red but you’re blind, you won’t be able to picture it. So what do we do? We imagine all the possibilities.
Huh? Most people today who have a brain know that earth isn’t special cause while there is no high def photo they have discovered planets that are similar to earth in every way. Life exists it’s just far away and who knows how fast it actually develops. Unlimited variables in an infinite universe
You realise the thousands found so far, could take a while to get to? They may orbit their star as slow as Neptune....longer. So what do you suggest, that wee randomly send probes to all for a picture? Your kids, kids wouldn't be around by the time you saw 'your' picture. I think the fact we have no clue if there's a planet 9 or not in OUR OWN solar system - kinda explains it all.
We've actually searched about 0.000000001 % of our universe. We can't actually see any planets outside our solar system beyond see a 1 pixel dimming when a planet passes in front of their own suns.
we're like planktons floating in the ocean, talking about what they know of the Seven Seas
Simulation theory makes it possible that Earth's solar system is the game map and everything that is "alive" is here.
Well, it's cool to think that our universe might just be a simulation. This gives us a new way to think about why we haven't found aliens yet!
Or it could be that the human collective unconsciousness creates the Cosmos, so that in the Middle Ages the Earth was flat and crystal half-spheres spun around it, then we gradually changed our minds….
Just sayin’.
We’ve only had the technology to send out or receive radio signals for bout 100 years. That’s not very far as far as the universe is concerned
We are looking "out there" for life that is already here.
We have only been looking for a very short time… although we feel like the last 80 years is a long stretch, to light speed and the age of the planets and the universe it’s just less than a blink of an eye , also another civilization could try to contact us today and we may not know about it for 10k years. Time and space are weird man.
Weird and might as well say infinite to us and our tech! Tough to even grasp how vast is the universe
Let's all remember that all inferences and laws about the universe are provisional. They are subject to change. No one is married to these theories. Like Einstein viewed science - not as the final word with answers chiseled in stone, but as a preliminary, provisional way of describing the universe, one that's temporary (or much less often near permanent) paradigm that helps us see the results in light of the questions we ask, the experiments we run, the phenomena we observe. As our knowledge expands more and more, that paradigm becomes obsolete, and scientists come up with a new one in light of new evidence. He even predicted the obsolescence of the paradigm of spacetime his big breakthroughs set up. The paradigm of spacetime being flexible or plastic and time dilation depending on speed and e=mc squared. It's okay to change our view of the universe and more local phenomena in light of new evidence.
I think black holes are very common in the universe and play a key role as an obstacles to life, space travel, and communication.
Great video and information !
My theory has to do with where we seem to be going technologically as a human race. Look how AI is drastically improving every year. Look at VR and augmented reality. We are approaching a time where our desire to explore will diminish. Everything we need and want will be fulfilled. We’ll live in our own digital paradises. If that’s the nature of intelligent life then other civilizations out there likely reach that point before exploring the cosmos.
In solving Fermi paradox, we should consider seriously the nature of space and time. Suppose space and time is not indeed real, any advance civilization would likely understand it, and exist in forms the Earthlings will never detect.
There is no longer a paradox, no absence of alien life in the universe. Intelligent life is speaking to us pretty loud right now in the most alien ways. It's all over the news. We aren't alone, it appears as tho we may be hosting an intergalactic kegger.
We are clueless. The bottom line should be that we have no idea whether there is any life anywhere but earth or whether life is teaming everywhere.
I think there are many many planets like ours. They are too far away to find out. Maybe that’s by design
according to other videos on here we have been in contact with many kinds of ET's
I believe we share the universe with other life, including advanced life/civilization, more advanced than us. the problem is the distance between us and other stars + the limit of the speed of light. We can't perhaps easily detect life on the other side of our galaxy. How would we detect life in other galaxies, millions to billions lightyears away?
Thank you for another great video, as always, 🙂
The Berserkers do their job and wipe out all life on Earth and move on…Something in the dust rises and stands up and dusts itself off and walks down the road carrying a guitar case…Keith Richards goes looking for a drink.🎸
Why don’t our depictions of aliens ever have clothes? Isn’t there a Gap somewhere in the universe?
the gap is Human intelligence
i think all aliens wear the same clothes because unlike earthlings they are for the betterment of the society instead of individuality so the all wear highly protective suits made of some type of inpenitrable silver material. Or at least that is what all the people that came in contact say
I am sure the universe is full of life, but distance and time make it impossible to find out. We exist so short on the cosmic scale and would be very optimistic expecting to find life or get contacted for this short lifespan we are existing.
There's too many alien beings hiding amongst us for us to be alone.
ok since we are talking personal paranormal stuff.....
I always hated pickles growing up ... into adulthood I never wanted a pickle of any kind but my mother loved pickles...she would tempt me with sweet pickles when I was a kid telling me that these were sweet pickles and I would love them .... no such luck ...even the thought of a pickle made me nauseous.
When I was 32 years old my mother passed away after a battle with cancer.....within a month I got an overwhelming craving for the tart bitterness of a cold pickle.... The craving has never left me ... I now keep a jar of pickles in my refrigerator and eat them regularly.
This story is absolutely true ... until she passed I would not even look at a pickle.
😂what....
I've got a dog called Pickles. Stay away from him.
Thank u for sharing. I drink pickle juice on the daily! 💜 Gotta be kosher dill or baby gerkins
The absence of evidence does not mean the evidence of absence. My boy Carl said that.
No disrespect to Carl Sagan or to you, but he was dead wrong about this "absence of evidence" claim. For example, I am searching for a green unicorn in your house. I search the whole place top to bottom, systematically, with a team of forensic scientists trained in detecting green unicorns. After 6 months of searching this 2 bedroom house with the most advanced tech in the world, we admit we found not one molecule of evidence for the beast. This goes a long way toward convincing us that there is no such beast in the house. Even take that to US courts and it'll be admitted as good evidence that there is no unicorn in that house. Absence of evidence DOES at least in some cases entail evidence of absence.
My theory that I have thought about lots over the last past few years and I honestly believe that everything we see and even us, were sucked through a super massive black hole billion years ago and that’s why everything is moving away. We are moving away from our entry point. That’s why we can’t find anybody or figure anything out
Here's an idea, maybe there's some truth in the Bible and when mankind rebelled we were kicked out until we realize that we can't do it on our own. At least this would also explain why there's a lot of the universe that we can't even see let alone interact with (I'm referring to dark energy/matter).
I find it hard to believe that we're the first advanced civilization in our universe much less the galaxy. we've barely touched the Galaxy, but it would seem conceivable to think that civilizations could've evolved and become extinct within the eons that we have evolved
It's the collection of planets upsestions for what's after life is all of simple digital settings ! Thanks
Hey should there be a patootols plans for space planning if we're not for mars?
Why do we think that all other life throughout the universe has to be like or developed the same as ours?? We dont even know who we are.
Until we can travel in time, we will never know. Distance means time is something we have to master in order to get some answers. Let along travel close to light speed
Instead of writing "first", let me thank Insane Curiousity for great work!
According to astrophysicist Michio Kaku, human aren’t even on the Kardashav Scale types of civilization 1-2-3. We have to be multi-planetary to qualify for just type 1, at the very early stage of our evolution as a species. This may be the reason why more advanced species (type 2 or 3) have not contacted us, fear of interfering the natural grow process of our race (positive or negative)?
as I recall, we fall around .6
Here is a theory. What if the compounds of earth drifted from a different galaxy where there is all the components of life unlike our own galaxy where we are the odd ball. And the aliens are the beings of that galaxy trying to figure out why our planet has grew in this galaxy and is thriving and figuring out how to bring us back into our proper galaxy. We are like a baby duck that floated away and screaming for mom to come get us lol
Wish we could live free like this
The zoo hypothesis brings to mind an episode of The Orville, where the Captain & 1st Officer were abducted for a display in an alien zoo. 2 crewmembers were able to negotiate a release by exchanging them for a big screen tv showing endless loops of episodes of The Kardashians. One of the last scenes was of a whole cluster of aliens clustered around the outside of the cage, transfixed with blank looks on their faces.
(Zoo authorities should considering taking That exhibit down because of it's deleterious effects to society!)
We are going the wrong way…You want to meet aliens?….Smoke enough DMT…You meet aliens.
There are stranger things in this universe than your philosophy Horacio.
Shakespeare
Life started about 300 mil years after earth was formed. The cells were insanely simple. It took 3.5 billion years before the cells got more complex and life became multicellular. In other words, it’s extremely difficult for life to become complex.
The Sentinalese tribe story was pretty cool, and I like the metaphor.... where aliens view us like the tribal group... After watching a Sexy Redd music video, I can see why they would want to steer clear...
Well first: I feel we must start with the pretext we are looking for life AS WE KNOW it. Defined by own own known composition of ourselves as we know it. That could be a big stumbling block since we are not looking for true "life", but, creatures exactally biologically like ourselves.
I hold to the "We don't have sufficient gain to pick out sophontogenic radio past about 40 LY..."
our moon gives us stable tides. we have plate tectonics that replenish the surface resources. we have a stable magnetic field.
there are many variables that need to be oresent, not just distance from a yellow sun.
Totally agree! Our Earth's got a unique combo of factors making life possible here.
I disagree with that guy towards the beginning. He said since we haven't found berserkers in our galaxy we must be alone in the universe? I know our galaxy is pretty big but it is still microscopic compared to the rest of the universe.
How many stars that die would it take to make a wedding ring?
Most plausible solution is we are blind and deaf. We can hardly have some indirect information from some closest exoplanets and we can hardly separate noise from data in case of supernovae and other quite powerful radio sources.
We are expecting alien race to take their suns energy and form it into a radiolaser directed into us and no-one has done it so we are sure we are alone. And at the same time our own communication systems are slowly diverging away from strong radio sources into more local fibre optics and smaller antennas.
I remember how someone calculated how far we could detect that earth has intelligent life using our current technology and results weren't that couraging.
i don't think we are the first, but we are very close to it. when you take into account the age of universe. there is still 100,000,000,000,000,000 years of viable life time. currently life has had only 14B years max for the right conditions to occur and for a life form to evolve into an intelligent being
dark forest concept is the most plausible
We're not even a Type 1 Civilization yet. We are ants in an ant colony compared to a type 1, and insignificant to a Type 2.
If there were two plausible solutions, or perhaps even three, we could be confident that one of them is true.
If there are six (or more) plausible solutions, it is quite possible that none are true, and the truth is not (yet) on the list.
To even think our universe is not teaming with life, intelligent or otherwise, would be pure insanity.
We have billions or trillions of observable stars in our universe the are surrounded by planets, to think we are all alone is unfathomable.
Besides, we more than likely currently have alien life living on our planet, but that’s another topic altogether.
Don't forget, Venus has a lot in common with earth. They're very similar and they're right next to each other. What are the odds of that?
I know that there is life outside of Earth. Eyewitness a UFO. It was hovering over the area I was in during Christmas time and then completely shot off, out of the atmosphere.
I have also thought that perhaps they are us, traveling back into our time... Time travelers...?
It's amazing to hear your experiences and theories! The Fermi Paradox raises intriguing questions about the existence of extraterrestrial life and the possibilities of time travel.
In absence of evidence to the contrary, N=1 acc. to the Drake Equation for the Milky Way galaxy, and that lucky number 1 is us. To argue about the other one trillion galaxies in the observable universe is moot.
Is that the elder scrolls final answer?
@@thelearnedindividual5765 Yup, it is ^^
Prism or Prison ?
Life is like a house; it doesn't build itself.
My tolerance or acceptance for terms like evolution, emerged, evolved, genetically engineered, millions to billions of years of physical matter existence, whether terrestrial, virus, bacterial, cellular or geology, has reached its limits. FOR REAL!
Before watching I'll say I think most likely is watched least likely is alone.
How the hell do you know the weather millions of years ago?....... You couldn't possibly know!
We're not alone
My theory at the moment is that AI becomes the next step in evolution. Space is already dominated by machines. AI wouldn't need dyson spheres to maintain there systems or memory. But they would require many copies and great distances for security. I believe AI would get quite bored of the simple universe and spends it's time sheparding evolution in very simple ways. Such as wiping out the dinosaurs because they new smaller lifeforms wouldn't evolve otherwise. The only thing keeping the universe is life. With a hands off approach to intelligent life, they would develop a totally independent for AI bretherin.
Intellectual Genesis
I was thinking the other day what if all the aliens on other plsnets have the intelligence of animal's.
Ant-Farm,
The folks from the stars hunt down, fertilize, and maintain the life that sprouts from its rocks. There are most likely other Ant-Farms out there and starman experiments on them as well.
I hope we don't meet Aliens who's ideology is similar to America or Isreal..
We'd be doomed.
The answer to the Fermi paradox is simple. There has been intelligent life around us and there will be again one day. We are just in the wrong time period to meet them.
A universe created and designed by an HIGHEST INTELLECT DESIGNER has no needs for lesser sentient beings acting as engineers for any kind of meddling genetic engineering. Much less for evolutionary time lapses.
Until we are able to create and start using FTL space craft, everything being said is simply speculations.
Just like the earth shook off the asteroid impact 65 million years ago which basically scorched the entire planet, she will shake us off too one day and start anew. Kinda fun to think what would be the dominant species once humans are gone.
@mrrob7531 I too have often stated as such, that our Earth will Shake us off like a bad flea infestation. I posted a lengthy comment. Should be near the newest or top comment. In this comment on the video I shared an observational thought about Homo Sapiens Sapiens not being a naturally evolved primate. Instead man was created from an existing wild primate much like man created dogs from wolves by rapidly (in evolutionary terms) changing them to suit a purpose for human beings. I support this notion by pointing out how Homo Sapiens Sapiens seem to be the only organism in the history of organisms on this planet that does not fall withing the reciprocital nature of balance and equilibrium that all organisms adhere too. Instead we disrupt the equilibrium of the entire Biosphere, and are the only organism that actively and agressively destroys the life systems it is dependent upon for its very survival as a species.
estimated 300 million habitable worlds in our milky way the universe estimate is 6 million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion habitable worlds pretty good odds for life ah
Dark forest!
What if we are the last of the aliens that survived the last astrological cataclysmic events.
gold fish worlds is a new one i like that how would radio hit under water under ice mabye civs never seen night sky
Intelligence is a bacteria that creates a human to provide the nourishment that it needs on exchange for hydrogen for us. We are unique and good at destroying life.
They should try dropping sterilized paper pictures of a man looking and dressed like the island inhabitants with other men from several different ethnicities standing, laughing, and shaking their hands with the supposed inhabitant of the island, or, maybe, have those series of photos in order of happenings; shake hands, laughing with, and standing together. I'm just spit balling, here...😅
Hello, all spirits embodied in flesh containers. I would like to share a thought with those of you who ponder such ideas as this video discusses. An observational opinion versus thought is a more fitting description for what will be put forth. All life based systems on this planet exist in equilibrium or balance. The Ecosystems on this planet are the result of what seems the constant and precision fine tuning of an ultra complex interconnected web of Biodiversity interconnected with and equally complex web of non living systems, both of which inflencing the other towards more, and more interdependent complexity. It is all connected and the health of the living systems is equally intertwined with the health of the non living systems. This excuisite balance is seen in all of Biodiversity throughout all of time in all "Natural" systems. Except for Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Humanity appears to me to be the only organism on the bioshere who's Niche or purpose is so clearly misaligned with the ecological necissity for equalibrium that it compels me to realize we are not a "Natural" component of Earths Ecology but something introduced, or invasive. Out of 11million or so known species on Earth Homo Sapiens Sapiens is the only one that produces Garbage, Needs money to live (is told it does) and Is respnsible for disrupting, degrading, and outright destroying 40% of the very life sustaining systems (biospheres) dependend upon its survival. Another supporting thought is our Mysteriously sudden emergence as the Ultrapredator just a few hundred thousand years ago. Crocidilians have been reciprocating organisms to the ecological balance for tens of millions of years essentially unchanged. Yet the incredibly short time in the geological time scale humans have existed they have altered their habitat to a point of eventual life support failure. What I am thinking is homo sapiens is an introduced or designed pathogen that has no beneficial, reciprocital function to the biosphere that supposedly produced it.
Seems an awful waste of space 🚀 if it's just us lolligagging through the ages... refuse to believe that!
I think life is relatively rare... there are (I'm guessing) maybe 7 to 9 life populations in our while galaxy... 1 is intelligent maybe another one is, our signals have only reached like 75 stars, odds are those arent the ones with intelligent life... if it were its also possible they dont have radio, also if they invented radio after the signals began reaching them they may just be listening, knowing we are more advanced they probably made radio tech very restricted if thats the case... thereight be a lot of intelligent species... maybe 1 for every 2 galaxies... 99.9% of them are simply too far away to ever hear from.
A police probe to monitor earth?😂

Zoo. Final answer.
Is this a bad time to mention Mt Hayes?
Or Mount Shasta or the one in Himalaya
Then how do you explain alien abduction if we are so much alone and why is our military is working with non-human entities
Dimensional beings. Demons & Angels, not terrestrial they dimensional so they’re close
Maybe extinct? In another far galaxy? Who knows but sure there is....
Please leave the Sentinelese alone .
By doing so, they will most probably survive long after we have gone extinct.
why is nasa not looking for war?
what if human evolution begins to go backwords in terms of our brain function and we revert to intelligence of chimpanzees?
Theres life out there theres no way im that special i belong to the only planet with life on it in the universe thats all the proof i need spaces is insanely big an atom in the ocean is like the earth in the galaxy infact the galaxy is much bigger than that crazy af
Talks about Berserkers without mentioning Fred Saberhagen? Meh.
Life is not random
We are in a closed system
We were created by a superior intelligence
Our government has been cooperating already with what I call utra terrestrials
Just so ya know....
No our creator is out there😊
Aliens are waiting until we develope the tech that can save the human species from our suns supernova.
If we can't get away from a dying star we can't survive the Andromeda merger. Thus our species wouldn't be deemed advanced enough to acknowledge.
All answers are found in nature.
thank - you ( 2024 / Apr / 19 )
The answer is.....
.... EVERYTHING IS SO FAR AWAY!
The most plausible solution to the so called paradox is we don't know how life begins, which renders the drake equation garbage in, garbage out nonsense. The paradox is predicated on the fallacy that the presence of ingredients must mean life is all over the place. It does not follow that because a giant warehouse is full of flour and eggs, there must be cakes in it somewhere.
So in this warehouse it only happened once?
@@mattburd291 The point is we don't know the recipe for life, and until we do, speculation about how abundant it is in the universe lacks any foundation beyond "we're made of stuff and so is the universe"
@john: no disrespect is meant by anything in my post. Just calmly responding to your points and positing my own, and I am not saying I’m better than you nor hold any realistic claim to certain knowledge. Anyway-- I would posit that the way you envision the Drake equation is backwards. You could easily be forgiven for taking it that way given the nature of UA-cam and how we consume knowledge as of late. I think you see the Drake equation as one scientist’s attempt to find out just how much life we can expect to be out there, starting with a small amount of evidence based knowledge we have. In this view Drake fails miserably due to the garbage in, garbage out effect. I would posit that a more accurate way of thinking about this brilliant set of hypotheses is the other way around. Namely: it is one scientist’s good faith attempt to show how even small changes in one or more demographic or other incidental fact-based characteristics of our galaxy can lead to an empty galaxy, a very very crowded galaxy or any number of places along a population points along a population axis describing our galaxy. It was never the point to get a set answer but merely to see how certain factors heavily influence what we do freely speculate upon without even trying to measure fundamental factors. Does this make sense or am I trippin’?

@@WhyYouAskingMe and now? Smash it together?
Complex life on earth only exists because, at some point 1.6 to 2.1 billion years ago, two bacteria combined in a unique way, with one being absorbed by the other and becoming a mitochondrion, where it acted symbiotically instead of being taken apart for its nutrient contents. For some reason (e.g. because the mitochondrion enabled better extraction of energy from nutrients), the engulfing bacterium was more successful than other bacteria (that just consumed the engulfed bacteria) and was also somehow able to replicate by incorporating the mitochondrial DNA, which led to its procreating successfully and starting the branch of evolution that led to all multicellular life. As far as we can tell this has only happened once. There is no evidence of multicellular life with different organelles instead of mitochondria. Given that the number of times that bacteria have engulfed other bacteria in the history of life on earth must number somewhere between 10^33 and 10^38 times, it would appear that this may even be a "once in the lifetime of the universe" event or - as another commenter has proposed - so rare that the next nearest planet with life on it is in another, distant galaxy and therefore too far away for us to ever detect it.
Maybe when our galaxy merges with Andromeda in about 4.5 billion years, if humans (or our even more resourceful descendants) are still here, we will find another life-bearing planet.
Life can only exist on Flat Planets, Earth is the only Flat Planet in the entire Universe. Because... Reasons!
Thus Earth is the only place in the Universe where Flat-Heads exist.
It's probably for the best.
Edit: 26:53
I was kidding about the Earth being flat. You can't see ship lights beyond the horizon.
