This is the cup of water argument. I took this cup of water from the sea to show you that there are no fish in ocean, here's my data.

That was the least scientific way to propose there's no life in the universe. We're still discovering moons in our solar system, nevermind planets across the universe. We don't even know if the universe is infinite or not.

"get to the point Junior!"

That's a big call! 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, we estimate 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe - sure no life anywhere but on our tiny planet...

We haven't found life on Mars; therefore, the idea that life exists on any other of the trillion to the eighth power rocks in the universe is highly optimistic? That makes as much sense to me as "the unit next door to my apartment is vacant, I predict therefore that no one else lives in this building, or block, or city..." Nevermind that next door is really just a utility closet.

There might or might not be Aliens in space. But they're definitely Aliens on earth.

Scientists in the 19th century were convinced that trains exceeding certain speeds would cause a vacuum in the cars and kill the passengers.

“I got this at the South Pole Gift Shop”. I wonder what it’s like working there during the busy season? Pretty hectic I imagine.

Mars is obviously not the same as earth. But there will be cosmic numbers of planets out there that are much more like earth.

Its important to listen to all sides of the story. But when I want to listen to an intellectual that is totally trapped within the small mind of the system I always enjoy Brian Keating ...

Can confirm slime and mold evolved on at least 1 planet in this solar system.

The insanity and Hubris of thinking that we understand even remotely enough to even make a statement like that.

My mother worked at Wright Patterson Air Force Base from 1943 to 1963. Yes she was there during the Rosswell incident. At no time did she indicate to me that there were any extra-terrestrials. Inter-dimensional beings, yes. Extra-terrestrials, no.

I'm gobsmacked whenever intelligent people suggest with a straight face that life elsewhere in the universe is highly unlikely. Firstly, the problem of entropy - the creation of complexity (life, matter) cannot be disengaged from the persistence of complexity across time. If complexity (life, matter) can be created, and we (as life) are here to hold it in our hands, then we can do so only because complexity (including life) does, in fact, *persist* across time. Astronomers confirm, correctly, that matter (esp. CHNOPS) exists and persists throughout the cosmos. And, armed with a proper understanding of the nuances of entropy (this is critical), we can thus conclude that the *predispositions* that exist over here, also exist over there, stars and galaxies away. We thus need find only one place in the universe where life exists (and persists), to conclude that this is a living universe. Where is that one place? We're standing on it. We can stop tormenting ourselves... this is, without a doubt, a living universe. Neither God nor fairies nor woo required. And then there's panspermia. Seriously? So an asteroid hurtling through the frozen darkness of empty space has a higher likelihood of containing the molecular building-blocks of life than does a warm, sunny planet within a star's habitable zone? Then there's MINUS 80 degrees Mars, with atmosphere 100 times thinner than Earth's. The non-existence of life there doesn't prove a thing. Then there's Dr Keating's reference to the Drake equation wrt intelligent life. Why have we not encountered aliens? ROI. Return On Investment. It will take the 1974 Arecibo transmission to globular cluster M13, a measly quarter of a galaxy away, 500 centuries to receive a reply. Any society that attempts to realize such a pointless project deserves to go extinct.

Trillions of galaxies.... But only life here ?

Dr Keating pulled that "mars rock" gift from his back yard that morning. But it's the thought that counts!

Are there aliens? Whales have ear wax.

22 billion earth-like planets in our galaxy alone... and if the whole universe would have the size of our earth, our galaxy would have only the size of a sand corn. to think that there is no other life in the universe is just nuts.

helicopters flying around the mars. Here's a piece of garlic toast from mars I found in my backyard.

I wouldn't worry about that. Been here the whole time and we are not dead.

Disingenuous argument as key difference between Mars and Earth is, Earth still has a strong magnetic field and Mars does not.

Did he just say that there is probably no life out there because there is no life in Mars? Someone should tell him that Mars is not in the 'habitable zone' and we would not expect life to be on a planet like Mars. He doesn't know what he is talking about, and Joe shouldn't have let him away with it 😒

Dr Keating: “Here’s an actual piece of Mars.” Rogan: “So it’s an asteroid?”

Imagine bears turning into whales.

Joe - "...But aliens..."

Galileo Galilei shifted our opinion in an age of religious ignorance and paid a huge price. Giodarno Bruno paid the ultimate price. Science has a awesome way of proving the masses wrong and vindicating the minority.

Why does a rock from antartica cost 50k?

Brought to you by the same chain of logic behind such great ideas like: Geocentric Solar System Young Earth Hypothesis Manifest Destiny

There’s a huge possibility that we’re not alone sorry but u alone on this one 🤷🏽‍♂️😂

You have to allow for and can not discount the thousands of people who have had close encounters around the world over the past hundred years! A jury of only 12 people can sentence someone to death. Evidence provided by the thousands of people who had these experiences is far greater than any jury.

I dunno about all those theories but I did record a flying saucer doing a flip and turn last night. You just have to look up.

Dr Brian with all due respect, your lying to us if your saying theres no life in our universe except here on earth.

Why after dragging back to the question and forcing him to answer, did the video cut out. Annoying.

Either way, it's not human beings flying ufos.

Mars has an atmosphere, but it's much thinner than Earth's and is made up of different gases: Composition: Mars' atmosphere is about 95.3% carbon dioxide, 2.7% nitrogen, and other gases. It contains less than 1% oxygen. Density: Mars' atmosphere is about 100 times less dense than Earth's.

Brian is another really smart guy talking out of his ass. These scientists that say this stuff. Not only are they ridiculous, but it seems like they just don’t want it to be true. Too humbling maybe ?

My thoughts are: Single cell life in universe,100%, very common Multicellular life, from what I’ve learned is highly improbable and took over 3 billion years to jump from single cell on earth but it did so given the abundance of planets you would think it’s less common but still definitely exists. Intelligent multicellular life with opposable thumbs an the ability to build and also the ability to communicate with complex language, given all the species that have ever existed on earth we are the only ones then that must be rarer still and in a finite universe we may be one of the very few that exist. Technological Intelligent life that can travel the universe at or close to the speed of light without destroying themselves or depleting their home planets resources? May never happen given we are destroying our planet and no human has ever set foot on another planet yet. I used to think intelligent aliens would be everywhere but the more I look into what needs to happen for that to be the case the more I think we are super rare and even if beings like us are common, being able to have the resources and the time without facing any existential threats before figuring out how to travers the universe at near the speed of light, which is still super slow given the distances, means I think we will never meet or possibly know of any other civilisations before our demise.

Existence needs to be proven. Consequently, the null hypothesis is aliens do not exist.

First he says the other planet has identical conditions to a planet with life then he says Mars, which is way colder, no magnetic field, no atmosphere, frozen solid

And when one of the Viking life detection tests came up positive, and that test has not been repeated since? And we also have seasonal methane production possibly too?

Does this guy know how to party or what?! (Wayne's world reference ) meaning you're awesome !

From dinosaur to humans and everything in between . If the conditions are right you should have life . Even if you take the cleanest water and leave it for a few months out side , it would be full of life .

I hope Joe was just staying professional there, because a man just gave him a piece of Mars and he didn't even say Thank you

I'm not sure I agree with his initial premise. Two planets in same solar system with similar conditions... how likely is it that both have life? His premise assumes it's very likely, but that sounds optimistic. There are so many things that need to happen to support life, it seems farfetched to say it's unlikely based on a sample size of one.

Didn't I see this guy on Looney Tunes

At least 2 trillion galaxies in the universe. Each with billions of stars.This guy must really be smart to have so much knowledge about so much space. Too smart for me😂. So smart to never see or listen to anything he ever says again.

Simply put, Mars has no magnetosphere to shield solar radiation and sustain an atmosphere that can maintain liquid water. Not the same.

With about 2 trillion galaxies in the OBSERVABLE universe, it's insane to me to think life hasn't arisen on at least one other planet. Why would we be special?

Wow. Sure am glad I got that question answered. I mean, I guess from the title there was something on the subject somewhere in all that. Just need to find it.

rogan is still lost and surprised by everything. falling for one of the biggest distractions ever. chasing aliens and bigfoot. I am 69 yrs old and my entire life the story has been the same with no real change and the question stills remains the same. where are they?

Funny to use mars as an example when we have had 3 experimental results to show that mars may still have life.....

dude wolves did not turn into whales. marine mammals are commonly known to be a type of ungulates. not that simply but they were once hooved animals not pawed animals.

What he fundamentally missed, on purpose or not, is Joe Rogan gives you the time to explain it well to him

I think we are so primitive and so far down the line, we would not see intelligent life anywhere around us. It’s easy to hide…. We act like we are smart.

Or, you could posit the question to say, "what are the odds that life would not have arisen on other planets circumstanced like ours (Goldilocks Zone), particularly given our present understanding that such planets may number in the trillions? In other words, what occurrences proved so unique, unusual, or rare on Earth that the likelihood of them occurring elsewhere is so marginal that it becomes fundamentally illogical to discuss the probability? Conversely, given the presence of life on this planet, isn't the logical conclusion that life may in fact be characteristic of or ubiquitous among similarly situated planets at certain intervals of their existence, considering this is the only verifiable example we have? I'm not sure what Mr. Keating's intention was here, other than to speculate that because planets like Mars don't harbor life (as far as we know at this time), it's unlikely others will as well. Framing a question in this manner often reflects the unsubstantiated certainty that can be prevalent in the scientific community.

Ironically the debate still exists if the meteor from 1996 shows fossilized evidence of Martian bacteria. Not impressed with him TBH. Not because I may disagree with his position on ET, but because he tried to be clever in the Mars-Earth comparison in light of the asteroid debate. Surely he knows about it.

Everyone is a professional and everyone thinks they have the ultimate answer...just like the arguments of religion. I really hope people like this have their own terrifying encounter.

Clearly we are the only life in the entire universe because no other life is on Mars or on any other planets in our immediate universe . Clearly. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

One of the biggest problems is assuming we know that life is uniformly similar across the Universe simply because we know what life is or what might be on Earth. For all we know, life could be in the form of energy or something entirely else that would be hard for us to comprehend. It might have a sophisticated form of intelligence. We can barely understand intelligence, what it is precisely, but we make assumptions that intelligence must only have one form just as life has to fit a certain mold in which is familiar to us. It's pure ignorance and also a bit of arrogance.

I respect Dr Keating's perspective and agree with his logic. I'm also sure he would agree that probability is not definitive, and the Drake equation does not define reality.

Not this video again 😂 brian come on man. Mars and earth are not the same. Different everything.

Science is a tool to find God has a creator

Remember when the entire scientific community dismissed the idea of rocks falling from the sky. Because it didn't fit it with the paradigm 😉

The universe is eternal, the big bang never happened. We need to stop projecting our own sense of mortality on the universe if we ever want to understand it.

Didn't find city lights on a planet with this new telescope that just came out? Also, they found life on Mars in the 60's but hid it.

So out of three planets here, one or two had life at some point and one still does…. Life is everywhere folks…

It's so common when people educate themselves that their ego rears its ugly head.....

Mars does not have the magnetic field for protection as the earth, so how can we theoretically say it's exactly like the earth with no life.

The counter-point to the argument he's making is that life started on Earth very early in it's existence.. which tells us that the probability of life forming must be very high (otherwuse it would have formed billions and billions of years later)

i read hippos are closest thing to whales

We've explored only 5% of our own oceans. Only about 25% of the seabed has even been mapped, and its not even the best resolution. We've discovered signs of life from tens of millions of years ago that was destroyed by what we assume to be a meteor. Even the Drake equation is anthropocentric and assumes things must be exactly as they are here. We just discovered liquid ocean underneath the ice on one of the moons in our own solar system. Only for the first time did we land on an asteroid to collect samples to see if it was dust or ice. It is hubris to assume that we are even qualified to make the assumption that there could not be life elsewhere; we can patch together some statistical guesswork but again, its fed by our limited understanding of the universe.

Stay on topic.

Science does not understand why life is present on the Earth. That is not equivalent to saying that the probability of finding life on Earth (or another Earth-like planet) is very high. In fact, the probability of finding reason in humans is dismally low . . .

The Dinosaurs learned to travel into space.

So, the Sahara dessert doesn't exist, because of all the vegetation and life that surrounds it?

There are unexplained flying vehicles, they are not ours. There is life out there and it's more advanced than we are.

I know I won't be believed, but I once saw an alien ship that looked like a giant, pale yellow egg that slowly pulsated: brighter, dimmer, over and over... And there were several other amazing things I noticed about it as well, however I fully understand and accept that I'll never be believed and that's just how it is.. but I know what I saw was NOT of human design. And I most definitely understand the skepticism from those who have never had a similar experience.. it's most definitely something that must be personally experienced since it's so outside normal everyday existence.. - D

"It's hard to prove a negative"..... Even ignoring that - for a Doctor, he doesn't do a lot of math.

I love the scientists whose entire reason for discounting the ETH is "they're too far away". I studied physics for five years at university and you know what I learned? I learned that the people living in every era thinks they know everything. But you know what? They don't know squat. We could be ten years away from a breakthrough in physics that renders rocketry obsolete. And when we have Alcubierre warp drives on every interplanetary ship leaving the Earth the people then will laugh at these videos and dogmatic scientists like Tyson who were so myopic they couldn't see the science emerging right from under their noses.

It would be a mistake for our government or anyone else to try and give a single answer for so many different events. When I look at the footage that I find on the internet I think that the majority of them are explainable, but it would be wrong to tell the public that there was a Single explanation for all of the different events.

Fravor , Grush , Ariel school , Melbourne school , all the witnesses . So delusional....

you cant prove aliens don’t exist …….

It’s a very lonely universe

NGL i was expecting a way more convincing argument, and it just sounded like something i expect to hear from one of my friends who doesnt know anything about anything. NGL its almost embarrassing to go on the JRE and spew this theory.

So we can measure whale stress, fantastic. But it seems like even our "best" scientists needs to be reminded that our ability to observe the details of the universe, and even our solar system is equivalent to stargazing through a toiletroll. We are the goldfish in the fishbowl wondering if the fishbowl is all there is. And every time we see a little bit further, we create a new fishbowl.

This guy made no convincing argument whatsoever that life outside of earth is improbable.

0 Aliens. Where are they? Show me ONE. #johnnyx100

For those watching this with a skeptical take - which is fine to have - he left out the details of the best argument against the likelihood of widespread life on other planets. That would be the rare earth hypothesis, which was well explicated in the book Rare Earth Why Complex Life Is Uncommon in the Universe (2003). This asserts that while no one aspect of Earth is particularly unique the combination of factors is incredibly rare. For example, being located in the habitable zone on spiral galaxy. Those galaxies only constitute around 2% of all galaxies, and the habitable zone within those are rather small. Additionally, a rocky planet with plate tectonics is not necessarily common and the list goes on. Keating himself has pointed out that it would only take eight variables with a 1/1000 probability of occurring in a solar system for the probability of life to fall to with one order of magnitude of the number of planets in the universe.

I think there is probably life out there, I don't think there are any life that would be comparable to humans. Life began almost immediately on earth, it took billions of years to go from single cell to multi cell, they don't know how that happened, and billions of more years before humans showed up, and it has been like hundreds of thousands of years that humans were here? and only in that last few hundred years has any real technological advancement been made, and most of it has happened in the last 100 years, and most of that has been in the last 40 years, and most of that has been in the last 15 years. This level of intelligence on our own planet that we know has had life for billions of years, out of all the lifeforms ever, has only emerged once. Out of the multiple humanoid species, we are the only one that remains, the others have been wiped out. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest alien life that surpasses humans exists. We are on the cutting edge of understanding impossibilities.

You have a wonderful way of presenting ideas. Thank you.

You’re missing a personal experience. A good sighting changes a worldview in an instant

C'mon...you're explanation to completely disregard any possibility is more fantastic than to believe there is life somewhere else.

With that mindset you dont deserve this Dr. Titel for whatever IT is

Aliens- Greys Transhuman -TimeLine

I love Dr Brian Keating, but this was a pretty weak answer - I think he was occupied wanting to give Joe his gifts.

We're living in a big mmorpg that's still being rendered.

I tend to think that there are odd things on Mars... Fossils of tiny creatures that lived there long time ago, and maybe even living things, beneath the surface... There are sooo many places on Mars no one has seen yet, with a closer look...

New technology lol,these aliens have been around millions of years, we are aliens to them and probably been around a few hundreds of thousands of years.

Finally, Rogan didn't have on a complete TOOL

Whales came from "wolf-like" animals, not really from wolves, the modern canine.
