David Kipping: Alien Civilizations and Habitable Worlds | Lex Fridman Podcast #355

255 thats the smartest thing ive ever heard

He forgot about the birthday paradox

Fantastic! As always Ross has me listening with my jaw open.
Great interview!!! I think a new episode of need to know will drop tomorrow. I can't wait!

see i am so uninterested in giving exoplanets. but finding one's in the habital zone interests the hell out of me. they would get so much more popularity if they followed what he says

I'm watching you. Texas! 😮

This guy makes complete sense

Is finding an other Earth like plant today usefull? Don't we need it to be Earth like when we get there?

Read the ancient Vedic literature written during the golden age when everyone on Earth was enlightened. It explains the distances between stars and the atomic makeup of the interior of the Sun. It describes how human life appeared in every solar system when the universe began. No? Then who do you think lives inside the UFO?

There is no Galaxis. There are extra land (extra terra).

God simply blessed David with a mind having the innate wisdom of a man that has already spent a 1000 years pondering before speaking.

U are the best interviewer [if thats even a word] on yt & i appreciate how hard u work to not be biased & give every person respect regardless of whether u agree or not
⭐️⭐️⭐️ not mention u are a cutie pie 😘

I have been watching your shows for a few months now, and I am now positive that myou have one of the best shows .... anywhere!!!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!

Refer to Star Trek episode where aliens determined that this planet was infested by carbon units.
We maybe unique in this galaxy but not unique in the other billion galaxies

One of the best pods out there

Dude... duuude, just speaking on the Milky-way, I find impossible to imagine we are alone in this galaxy ✌️

Most people are standing on the shoulders of giants. If you erase a handfull of people from our history ( da vinci, tesla, einstein etc) would we even be or get to this level of technological advancenent of which we are at today?

Storms, historically are space crafts piloted by humans. Said the native sub-human monkay

Lex looks bored af LOL

I think it's a bit reversed in this theory, our earth has been bashed by meteors and meteorites ,we are the retarded/delayed development.Waiting for us retards to catch up without actually stepping in to guide & correct

They are both so articulate and thoughtful, but also both so good at having a back and forth conversation. It was a compelling watch.

Both of you are amazing! Thanks for this podcast <3

Just stumbled over your channel…. Are you low-key an undertaker? 😳

Scientists have the unfortunate burden of reputation, and are often unwilling to engage in hypothetical or speculative discussion on life outside of earth. They're too worried they will lose their credibility and be labeled as biased so they retreat to a bunker with their proof. That's great for the credibility of science, but it means the only people who are left to speculate are most likely to be less informed or educated on the matter. I wonder how many scientists look for extraterrestrial life on earth, given so many of them are aware of UFOs and other unexplainable phenomenon. The answers they seek are closer than they would ever believe.

It is all about Money!
Make us believe…… We then fund.

Gravity is universal. Remember the Force of attraction of 2 bodies? M1 & M2 are critical. If M2 is a person and M1 the new world, M1 better be comparable with Earth or we are buggered.
Just saying…..

Nasa is a joke, stealing 70,000,000 dollars every day from u.s working citizens. Nothing else better to do with that money huh? Homelessness, poverty, hunger, mental health. Nope we gotta get to mars. What a frigging joke

Bring him back more. He's amazing. So engaging. More engaging than watching a movie.❤

❤

When life is just stellaris😂😂

finally someone I do like to watch. no conspirqcy theories or undeserved popularity

keep it up lex!! you'll find your goddess eventually! <3

This was a real joy to listen to. The depth and with of subjects really help with that all important perspective, thank you both so much! A thought that struck me during the simulation part regarding the necessarily lower resolution of subsequent simulations; would this not be a viable explanation for quantization? xD

The distance between us and any other habital planet is concerning. Say we find one 13 light years away. even if we made a slow generational craft to make the trip the time it would take plus the time that has already passed by the time we even saw it.. that craft could show up to a totally different scenario when they arrive

This may be your best podcast! Loved it! Thank you😊

I love to put my head phones on at the end of the day and relax in bed listening to conversations about the universe, and consciousness. I’m sitting in my car during my lunch break today and feel like I could fall into a deep sleep if I let myself. Do you think my brain associates these podcasts with sleep and is like, “ok it’s time to make melatonin!”

hold on, is this meaty marley?????

Why do we, so anxiously want there to be aliens? Wouldn't our egos be better off, if we are "alone"?

Aliens existing when cells are the building blocks of life not just on earth but anymore. Nothing to build on itself without cells. If Aliens civilization existed it would have exist in your regard of something of huge magnitude of life forms and understanding of many things. We would have seen it at some point because it's big but we scour the solar system and there isn't any evidence of anything. Evolution through development of cells building through nutrients, food etc. We need to see those things, in the galaxy.

Thank you so much

It was written that Mars has a 5000 year lifespan and then they are off for 30 to 40,000 years and then they're on again for 5,000 years

Just mind expanding.

Please can i quit my job and come to be a planet hunter? Put me on a rocket with enough snacks

In the ongoing cyclical cosmos - reality - life such as ourselves is inevitable.

When he talks about 'the TAC' it sounds like a council from the Dune universe
