Expanding Past Our Cosmic Horizon with Neil deGrasse Tyson - Cosmic Queries

Are entangled particles connected by wormholes? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice answer a grab bag of questions about the Fermi Paradox, Dinosaurs v. Aliens, our cosmological horizon, and more!
Have we failed to find alien civilizations because they are beyond our cosmic horizon? We explore the Fermi Paradox and go through the options of where aliens could be. Would Neil rather see the dinosaurs or aliens? What’s Neil’s favorite astronomical discovery of all time?
Are we losing access to the universe as it expands? We discuss quantum mechanics and whether quantum entangled particles are connected by wormholes. If you fall into a black hole, will you fall past the event horizon at all? What do two mirrors facing each other reflect? We break down the shape of the universe and whether it has an edge.
How does scale impact multiverse and quantum theory? Could quantum things happen as we move up in scale? Could you walk on the rings of Saturn? Learn what it would be like to land on Saturn. All that, plus, if you stuck your hand in a black hole would it suck you in entirely or just take your hand?

What answer to the Fermi paradox do you think is correct? Is there extraterrestrial life out there, and if so, why haven't we detected it yet?

@trdsf 11 ай бұрын

I am not convinced the Fermi Paradox even applies in a universe that has at least one boundary in time. In a steady state universe, which was still a going theory when Fermi asked "Where are they?", then yes, you have an infinite amount of time for any species that might arise to spread to the entire universe. In a time-limited universe, it may well take a certain amount of time for enough metals (in the astrophysical sense) to accumulate to make life, and then intelligent life, a reasonable proposition. And assuming there's no shortcut around the speed limit imposed by light, there's only so far that even the oldest civilization could have reached by now. If we take Earth as average (applying the principle of mediocrity, that we're much more likely to be typical than special), abiogenesis needed somewhere in the vicinity of nine to ten billion years to happen, to form worlds with a generation or two of supernovae ash embedded in them that provides the necessary carbon and oxygen and phosphorus and iron and other 'metals' upon which to develop life, and again assuming Earth is average, it takes 2.5 to 3 billion years to progress from microbes to multicellular life, then another .5 to 1 billion years to evolve intelligence. No paradox remains, we're among several sentient races that have arisen in the last 13.8 billion years. And no one outside of about 200 light years can know we're here anyway, since that's around the earliest date at which pollutants (becoming important about 200 years ago at the start of the Industrial Revolution) could be detected in our atmosphere by a sufficiently powerful spectroscope. And again, assuming Einstein's speed limit is a hard fact, then no one outside of about a 100ly radius can have conceivably both a) detected we exist by atmospheric pollutants and b) immediately mounted a mission to check us out. Compare that 100ly radius, to the actual size of the universe. No, it seems unspeakably unlikely that anyone has noticed us, even if as a matter of statistics, it's unspeakably likely that there are other intelligences in the universe. Thus, I assert the Fermi Paradox isn't a paradox, because the failure to see other intelligences is due to the fact that the universe had a beginning, and that the speed of light is a limit.

The universe is billions of years old and ever expanding. I firmly believe that when the universe was younger, and stars and galaxies closer, their were many species of aliens traversing the universe. Like an intergalactic highway. But as everyone drifted further and further apart the distance became to far and everyone is now isolated by light years and forgotten.

@cadenholke2758 11 ай бұрын

I’m positive there is life and intelligent life out there in the Universe, but what if life only ever evolves to be as intelligent as it needs to be based on its environment? If they faced the same general pressures that early humans faced (predators, climate, etc) it could be argued another species would evolve only to a threshold of intelligence, at which point they are able to adequately survive within their environments. Therefor, it may be possible most intelligent life is as intelligent as we are, not much more or not much less. The only difference would be the amount of history an extraterrestrial species would have compared to us, if it’s significantly more than ours then extraterrestrial life would be that much more advanced.

I remember reading a newspaper article a few decades ago that quoted an eminent astronomer's estimate of the frequency of planets orbiting other stars. I've forgotten who it was - but he said that, so far as astronomers could tell, our solar system was the only solar system with planets, and that planets were probably extremely rare in the rest of the galaxy. He was pretty certain that the formation of the solar system was an anomaly. He said we had to face the fact that planets outside the solar system would probably turn out to be science fiction. And we all know how well his educated guesses have aged. The galaxy is pretty big. Our radio signals have penetrated less than 200 light years of it so far. We know of just one sample of what kinds of life are possible. And our understanding of physics is (sorry Professor Tyson) still primitive, no matter how solid and certain big parts of it seem to be to us. There may be a constant chatter of interstellar communication passing through our solar system, and if so, it's using as-yet-undiscovered (and currently considered to be impossible) physics, since electromagnetic radiation is so slow. If it's there (pure speculation) it is between kinds of life and types of intelligences that will eventually astonish us. I'm comfortable with not knowing if there's intelligent life out there, and comfortable with failing to detect intelligent life if it is out there. My guess is that yes, there's complex life, including intelligent life, all over the galaxy - but all of our guesses about extra-solar-system intelligences and interstellar communication will probably be wrong, and if we survive to continue our explorations, I think life in the galaxy will turn out to be far more complex and interesting than anything we can imagine.

So true. He's a great teacher becasue of this. I had an IT instructor at San Diego Community College named Robert Martin that would go deep into the mechanics of various IT subjects, even though they sometimes weren't directly related to that specific class. When I took my first networking class, I already knew it all (and then some) just from the deep dives Robert did. I learned like 3 different classes worth of knowledge in that single class because of this. Neil does the same thing.

Then you came along, Dr Tyson. You are carrying-on his legacy and this video just exemplifies or shows me that you are the one who carries the torch of science, knowledge and curiosity. You make science of learning fun. So, thank-you to the both of you for this video. It is appreciated, infinitly.

Collin Brum's question had more to it than what the answer gave credit for. The question regarding the nature of falling into a black hole was suggesting, and I've been thinking along the same tracks, that there is no "inside" or reaching the singularity of a black hole. All matter that falls towards it will (1) from our point of will grind to what appears as a halt and (2) from the object's point of view it will witness time rushing by around them as they slowly evaporates through Hawking Radiation. If we assume this, we can simply say that there is nothing inside a black hole because nothing can ever reach it.
