Description: Space-themed merch at if you're interested. The Fermi paradox, or Fermi's paradox, named after physicist Enrico Fermi, is the apparent contradiction between the lack of evidence and high probability estimates for the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations.
#ASMR
Here's two profound quotes by Dr. Carl Sagan, who we discuss in the second half:
▸"We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology."
▸"Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality." -Dr. Carl Sagan

Why do all aliens have to be “advanced” life forms?? Why can’t there be alien cavemen??

@shniss5403 6 жыл бұрын

JayDHD Well it comes down to probability, in terms of the earth and our solar system we are fairly young, life here has been around for about 3.8 billion years. The universe as a whole is about ~14 billion years old. This gives life on older planets/ solar systems the chance to be billions of years more evolved and advanced than us. It just comes down to us being a fairly young planet.

@heyimanameheyimalastname 6 жыл бұрын

They don't have to be; there very may well be teeming hordes of non-advanced aliens, but we have no way of detecting them to confirm their existence and they have no way of reaching or contacting us. In fact, if one theoretical answer to the Fermi paradox is correct - that civilization is simply too prone to destroying itself, or that planets are too volatile and prone to natural mass extinctions, to allow for the eons of uninterrupted advancement necessary to reach extra-solar or even extra-galactic colonization - then cavemen-level aliens would be by far the most common sentient life.

@user-ky9ou5dz9q 4 жыл бұрын

@ChickensFTW it's a real solution to the fermi paradox. The idea is, that super advanced civilizations would eventually have to become organized and relatively peaceful and have a conscience of some sort to survive as long as they have. They may not trust humanity to not get a hold of their tech and kill ourselves or another civilization. It might be that they think it's wrong to expose us to that kind of advancement at s time when we arent ready for that kind of power. Which makes sense. We can't handle the power our civilization holds right now.

the 2 main possible reasons of why we aliens havent visited us/we have found no evidence of intelligent life: 1. it is impossible for any being that follows our understanding of physics to reach that level of advanced technology before the species destroys itself via overpopulation/disease/war etc everything humans are going through now 2. it may just literally be impossible to travel between galaxies/solar systems regardless of how technologically advanced a species gets- depressing but i believe the most likely reason

@yourfavouritenarcissist 6 жыл бұрын

So basically you're saying, it's possible other aliens exist, however it can be impossible we will (or they will) ever know, because we all kill ourselves beforehand?

Your reason #1 is an incredibly egocentric hypothesis that projects your own conceptualization of the human condition onto every potential alien life-form in the unknown universe, completely ignoring an uncountable number of variances that could distinguish hypothetical species from humans and human society. Example: You incorrectly assume overpopulation would be one of three inevitable downfalls of these alien species. The main reason overpopulation is a problem in our society is our ability to derive pleasure from sex: A unique trait amongst even species on our planet, so there's no scientific reason to assume it would be a trait shared by every intelligent extraterrestrial species. Another of the inevitable downfalls that you've ascribed to all hypothetical alien species is war. But imagine for a moment, an intelligent species defined by collective sensory experiences or gestalt intelligence? It stands to reason that such a species would be predisposed to avoiding conflict, such as war. They might not even be capable of comprehending the concept of "war" as we know it, any more then we might be capable of comprehending their methods of intergalactic travel.

Exciting times to be alive for sure.

22:00 if a hypothetical alien civilization were to be keeping track of us and rate our ethical codes, I don't think they'd be watching how we treat each other as much as they would be watching how we treat those who are not human. In this scenario, this outside civilization is scouting our ability to live alongside those who are not like us -- not our species. Maybe we need to treat animals more ethically to rank higher on that scale? Just a thought. Opinions?

If they exist im sure they have a rule about not contacting us anyway like we have rules about contacting indigenous tribes, there isnt any real reason for them to visit us anyway especially if they've advanced so far to how we theorise them to be. The only reason I can understand would be seizing of resources but even then this is usually rendered null by the technological superiority since im sure they are self sufficient and do not rely on a finite resource to live, who says they even need to breathe, eat or drink. Im sure it comes down to how inquisitive our friends are feeling.

If the universe is truly infinite then there's an infinite number of other planets with people exactly like us but slightly different in different ways. Life is just so rare that there is maybe a handleful of life forms besides us in our galaxy. It's millions of light years to the next galaxy which is so far away that life hasn't been able to traverse the distance needed to reach us. Furthermore it took life 6 billion years to get to the point of self aware humans 200 thousand years ago... Nearly half the age of the universe to create us.... Life hasn't had the time it needs to reach out quite yet.

This is an interesting subject. In Halo there is a similar philosophy called the Mantle of Responsibility, created by the Precursors, the very original life forms. It is essentially the stewardship of all life in the galaxy, the Mantle says nothing about said "Reclaimers" not being able show their presence to pre slip space beings. The Federations prime directive seems more along the lines of non interference to any pre warp society, full stop. Even if they could be saved.
