The Fermi Paradox — Where Are All The Aliens? (1/2)

I deeply believe we are.

We’re the first 👀🫡

Do more videos about animals please kurzgesagt!!!

I understand these videos take a long time to make, but could you guys upload more often? I can't wait for the next one <3 <3

Love your videos bro lol. Keep it up 🤙

Its better to stay alone in the universe. Because we will have infinite possibilities to expand in it.

The problem is we're looking for life in very narrow ways. Just because intelligent life involves on a planet doesn't mean it's going to developed technologically in the same way we did. It doesn't mean they're going to use radio communication in the same way as us or at all. A species that utilizes different senses than us is going to communicate in ways we probably won't recognize as communication.

An intelligent species that evolves in an ocean might never develop flight, no matter how smart they are. Same for as species that evolves on a planet with high surface gravity.

A species with fins or hooves or wings will never develop an iPad, again no matter how smart they are. There are a lot of things the Fermi Paradox does not take into account.

A species that develops in a very stable environment and has all its needs met by nature might never develop technologically at all. Maybe the most intelligent creatures in the galaxy are grazing grass in a field somewhere. Technology develops to solve problems. A species that has not faced the same problems as us isn't going to have the same technology.

One day there will be life on Mars and they will discover that Earth was once inhabited. If only they could find out about Bowie's song "Life On Mars?", their minds would be blown. Our planet will probably go back to it's beginning state.

Once you rid this paradox of all possibilities, it ceases to exist as a concept. We can surmise and estimate for all time and it may not even be close to what we perceive.
The paradox does not exist when we admit we know very little.

It. Make. Me. Cry. to. Die😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

WOW I Fukn love u guys plz never stop doing what ur doing❤

The Enrico Fermi Paradox or Question is Era dependant. In our Era it has no sense since the Aliens activity on Gaia has ceased.

I like 'The Baird Stealthy Alien Hypothesis'... which goes like this, basically intelligent life across the universe develops along a similar intelligence and technological tree, which fits everything else we observe whenever we find life forms on the planet we are able to back trace them to earlier most simplistic forms. Same with our solar system. It would appear that more and more evidence that our solar system is not exceptional but fits with the standard for solar systems across the universe. We can too trace this back to a more basic arrangement of elements and gas clouds.

So let's assume all grow the same with intrinsic variance to account for adaptation, etc.

Let's also assume that genius life forms are born, within a species, umongst the stars as they are here on earth, along with the emergence of technological ability.

Ie. A Kaku, Einstein, Hawkins, etc.

Now let's assume these geniuses come to the same conclusion that many of our great minds have reached, that it would be wise to hide from alien species as we would not know whether they are benevolent or malevolent and should we be decected we would be at risk of great harm, thus they decide to hide as we soon may find it practical.

This would explain why we find nothing.

As we too may, in the very short future, decide to hide our detectable giveaway traces and emissions.

And should we hide ourselves completely within the next 100 years, there would only be a roughly 200 year window to find us or any sufficiently advanced alien civilization, which due to the vastness of space and time makes even high alien lifeform densities almost impossible to detect as they must be in range of our detectors with, lets say, their radio emissions time to reach earth's detection technology, overlapping our current -100 years of detection capability.

Anyone else notice magnemite in the beginning

You dummy you don’t know animals

Say if we were a species that mastered interstellar travel and could mine resources throughout the galaxy. The most prized location would be at the galactic core where matter and hence resources are more dense, however this region would also experience a relatively slower rate of time flow relative to the outlying regions.
It's not hard to imagine there would also be ongoing conflicts as this seems to be a constant here on earth, with the conquered race/species being forced to the outer regions of the galaxy where matter is more sparce and hence gravitational time dilation is reduced resulting in a relatively faster rate of time flow than the resource-rich core.
Now a condition exists whereby the conquered race/species would evolve relatively faster and technological development would happen at a faster rate, such that conquering would be seemingly immediately followed by a counter-attack by the race/species that was conquered, who are significantly more advanced than when u conquered them. Thus leading to perpetual war and instability.
Maybe this is the reason for the Fermi Paradox - that the risks of this type of never ending unresolved conflict is to be avoided at all costs, to the extent of avoiding contact with any alien civilization. Perhaps even to the extent of eliminating an entire species or imprisoning them in a rather than running the risk of them being a potential opposition.

I believe that we are not alone in the universe or even our galaxy; finding and establishing contact with other civilizations is physically impossible. If something is just one light-year away, it will take a whole year for us to see its actions, and the Milky Way by itself is almost one hundred thousand light-years long. Maybe 500 years ago, life sprouted on a planet 1000 light years away from us; we can never know. I think sooner or later, we would stumble upon other civilizations (or they upon us) but now it is impossible to determine something even remotely far away from us.

Hello sof

This looks like it's taken out straight from Liu Cixins Trilogy!

Think I’ve just figured out ‘the great filter’: when AI takes all our jobs, replaces our usefulness and purpose, what will we have left? Our population is on the verge of declining as it is……Nothing will motivate us/drive us, it’s what makes us human: we’ll become a bunch of anxious narcissists that have lost their drive…….population will gradually fall to zero :

aliens dont come to earth after seeing that...weird anime exists.

Why should I even belief all this crazy seeming "facts" because some scientist believed it? I don't care ...

Nice video, but it's really fun how you ignore FTL in all your simulations, which must be completely common for any advanced civilization....I feel sorry for you for that.

Ok if there are 400 billion stars and it would take 100 life times to count how??? Did you count all of them 🤣🤔

I still think the most obvious explanation is distance and rarity. I dont think life is so rare that we are alone, the evidence we have seen for our development doesnt point to that being the case as of yet. But I do think it is considerably rare. And even among planets with life on it, life intelligent enough to become advanced is rare. Look how many species exist now and have existed in the past on earth, and only 1 of them, Humans, were able to become the advanced civilization we are now (relative to the animal kingdom, at least). There could only be one planet in every similarly sized galaxy, or hell one per 10 galaxies, or even a hundred, that actually has life on it, and of those, perhaps only 1 in a thousand has intelligent enough life to become advanced. And then of those, its even less that have actually reached type 3, we havent even hit type 1 yet. So I imagine that these type 3 civilizations probably exist but are extremely far away from us, perhaps so far that the light carrying the evidence of their existence (and ours vice versa) hasnt reached us yet. And even if it had, would it even be possible for them to tell we are here? Would it even be possible for us to tell theyre there? We cant even figure out if there is and isnt other life within our solar system yet, if I remember correctly theres a space mission to search for life on one of mars moons happening in the near future. Let alone neighboring solar systems let alone our galaxy or the whole universe.

Advanced life IS out there, we are just too far apart to know about eachother. I think there have been and will always be filters in our past and future, thats the nature of survival, challenges always present themselves. But even in those instances of apocalypse, AI wouldnt have a logical reason to annihilate all life on earth like they would to eliminate humans, and full on nuclear war also wouldnt completely eliminate life, nor will climate change, even if all of those scenarios eliminate humans. Which means intelligent life would have a chance to reemerge after the recovery of the planet. (Plus, in an AI takeover, wouldnt those AI then go on to make their own civilization? The same paradoxical lack of evidence applies to that as well...)

I know this sounds crazy but it feels like...propaganda. 😂

Bro the aliens just left to get the galactic milk

The more I think about, I think it's better to not look for other intelligent life. The human race was once simple, only worrying about hunting and gathering. Now we have racisim, war, slavery and mortgage to worry about. We might end up as an pet to some freaky alien or exterminated.

We should have the “Dont talk to stangers” mentally to aliens

If the closest star to us is 4 light years away, traveling at 1 percent of the speed of light it would take 400 years to reach its vicinity, not including acceleration and deceleration time. We can't travel at anywhere near that speed with current technology.
If we located a star, say 10,000 light years away and said it looks like life exists there, remember that whatever you see is from 10,000 years ago, and any communication would have a 10,000-year lag.

What if aliens exist but its just impossible for them to get here?

Or maybe space was been misrepresent

Bro I came here from playing game. Damn Deep Town

Perhaps the solution to Fermi paradox is that we are looking for patterns that we are familiar with. It is like ants looking for large ant nests on other planets but not be able to recognize human civilization right in front of their eyes. No matter how long the ant will look at say... bicycle, it will never be able to understand its purpose or even separate it from millions of other physical objects around (not to mention abstract objects!). It will be simply beyond its ability to comprehend. So what makes us think we, humans, are different? How do we know we don't live right next to another civilization/intelligence so advanced we can't see it and we will never be able understand it?

Its dumb to think we passed all the filters when we literally know future filters.

Minor preventable filters: asteroids, nukes, AI

Death filter: sun dying, collision with a moon or a planet.

The final filter: death of the universe.

I always love the pop art in the animations. Literally a Magnemite, and what looked like Star Trek Voyager.. I love these..

Of course, why would there be a universe if there were no one to see it? The last possibility is the most probable. We are alone and are destined to populate the galaxy, Technology is a very new phenomena, and off to a pretty good start measuring from Galileo, 500 years ago. Given proper conditions, technology will advance at an exponential rate. This bodes well for not only inhabiting the entire Milky Way but neighboring galaxies as well.

I love how they’re comfortable pretending to come up with every possible wild guess explanation except the one that most people have believed for most of recorded history, that the universe was designed for us, they know thats clearly not a possibility. It’s like germ theory all over again, “well the religious people believe it so it can’t possibly be true”.

We wouldn’t be able to view them, because of the light years

The answer is that the assumptions that the paradox are based upon are faulty.

Are they in the ocean?

Or the aliens are small like haymaker small

the even crazier thing is that maybe our technology isn't able to connect with other technologies, we might not be the first to look for life on other planets. or the way they understand the world, technologies might be invented or developed differently compared to how we did it.

What if in these other planets intelligent animals don’t reign supreme, for example, what if mammals never evolved because there is a apex predator that wipes them out but is less intelligent. Just bigger, stronger, and highly vicious. What if said life form is still somewhat intelligent but no where near what humans have evolved to. Take earth for example, something catastrophic wiped the dinosaurs what if this never happened on earth would we have evolved to be the fittest for survival? What if we are the only planet that got lucky cause a astroid hit us and mammals formed intelligent life known as humans only on our planet? Are we the chosen ones?

you're just a speck of dust and you dont matter

Galacduck is real

WE are the aliens.
