slight correction, it wasnt a rover, it was basically a tin can with a parachute, and what he showed onscreen is only a slice of the few panoramas the craft made, you can go search it up

I agree but I think we still have a lot to look forward to.

I understand you. We will be more intelligent, more healthy, and we would advance at a rate ten times more shocking than the rate electricity gave us. But that comes at a cost. Our culture. What we have constructed in our existance will be replaced, one by one, building by building, language by language, by a more efficient, futuristic, and beautiful one. By a non-human one. Piece by piece, the human cultures would fade away. If an alien would ask us today "What have you achieved as a species, without the help of any other?" We could be talking for hours about incredible things that we have made by ourselves, while two thousand years later, we would be silent or refer only to the distant past. Which would be like talking about Rome or Ancient Egypt. Fascinating, but ancient and outdated. I am not saying that the sacrifice of our culture is not worth it, because it really, REALLY is worth it. Just saying that we have a larger opportunity to enjoy our own culture than our distant children will.

We all are really not grateful of what we have now. If you were to be born in the 15th century so what will you do.

+Ringuin None claimed that this is going to happen. We're discussing if it happens. IF. A "what if" scenario, you know?

Well.. If you're born into a world where everything has been "perfected" there would be nothing new.. It would suck to be born in that generation

Or some might not have any tech at all

Best Friend a

Or maybe just microorganisms

The paradox is that, if the universe is as old as we think it is, and infinitely large as we think it is, probability determines that there IS life out there on a similar technological level as us, but there also SHOULD exist life eons more advanced. Given the age of the universe and the possible age of life within it, interstellar travel should be happening already if it is possible, and so raises the question of why we haven't been visited. So, it's most-likely impossible, or so nearly impossible that it's incredibly rare, or so nearly impossible that life usually goes extinct before ever effectively achieving it.

The second biggest problem in traveling light speed is accelerating without killing the passengers, the first is obviously we have no clue how to get so fast.

that could be true but that would imply life started on their planet the same time it started on ours which is highly improbable. it's more likely if aliens exist they've existed longer than us and therefore are more technologically advanced

@@brad1552 ya some what true but theres butterfly effect which can make their events slow or fast.

I'm an alien, you guys just aren't worth visiting

only a few far far away galaxies would see that

+RB_CPFC dinosaurs lived 60 million years ago, right? So every galaxy 60 million light years away would see the dinosaurs on our planet...

+Alexander Mathis yh that's what I'm saying

+RB_CPFC imagine the telescope they would need for that

romerobryan83 lol ikr would need to be light years across

life probably doesnt exist in our galaxy at least not intelligent life while there maybe many convincing hypothesis about the fermi paradox i think the most realistic is that life is just really rare and intelligent life even more so. Maybe there is also a barrier to technological progress or that societies just stop being as expanding as we are because there isn’t really any reason to be. Another great theory i have heard goes as follows. If we think that intelligent live out there has even the tinniest path resemblence to than they would inevitably build Ai that can produce self replicating nano technology and it would only take one of those to destroy their entire galaxy or life wipe it.

Light speed actually is impossible :| Well according to Michael anyways

Sajid Sheik Without bending spacetime, yes.

D1sc​ I'm only 16 bro so let's not get too exited 

Sajid Sheik In space no one can here your pessimism though

Nerdology INC Light speed is impossible with conventional propulsion. The Theory of Relativity states this well, as an infinite amount of energy is required to allow anything with mass to travel the speed of light.

Tim diersing dongle?

lmfao

Wrong chanel?

Lol

A) You can't know that for sure because of the possibility that Plautonism, Panpsychism, spiritual dimensions or other such ideas might be true. B) Who care what the universe "knows." It's an object, with conscious life inside of it. You even subconsciously imply that when you use the word "it" instead of "they." Example: "The class of philosophy 101 knew that the Final exam would be worth 70% of its grade, so it all showed up on time." "The employees were tired of working for minimum wage so it striked for better pay." "The contents of my bedroom was devastated because I left my bathroom, and now the contents of my bathroom no longer knows itself." No one talks like that, and it's weird to think like that. Morality in the vast majority of philosophies is for and with respect to people (or God). Plus, the extreme version of that line of thinking is pro "I Am Legend" or keeping "the universe knowing itself" as rare as 1 person. Why does "we're the only place" stop at the boundaries of the atmosphere and not the boundaries of the galaxy or your country or your house? Also, there's a lot of historical and archeological mysteries on earth. Why was such and such building built, what was such and such weird gizmo used for, what subjects did books in the library of Alexandria tend to be written about? These are examples of actual lost knowledge about our past and what life was like before modern technology. Discovering life on other planets going thru the iron age, making similar sorts of things and being able to study and observe them would definitely be more of a motivating "push" towards learning and discovery than a cosmos filled with nothing but lifeless rocks and gasses.

Very true wkblauwster, i actually always think about that, but I don't see how we could be the only planet in the entire universe with living organisms, that would be a bit ridiculous. I think that there are living beings in forms so foreign to us, that we pass over them without giving it a thought. Like, maybe there are living planets.

Danny Helser What happens if humanity dies before we find out? That is even more terrifying.

demon mutant ninja zombie What if there WAS life on another planet, but it was wiped out by some cataclysmic extinction event on their planet? Or they figured out we were here, and died trying to get to us? I am a strong believer that we are not alone in this universe. The chance of habitable conditions for life as we know it is incredibly slim, but divided by the estimated amount of planets in the known universe, there IS life on other planets. But maybe we will never come into contact with them. Maybe when we do come into contact with them, it will just be a few surviving colonists long after earth, and the rest of the human race, has been wiped out.

bowser jr Then they would be from higher dimensions, Not in our realm of existence, Because the probability of None of these advanced intelligent civilisations being caught by our observation is higher if thousands of different beings visited us.

bowser jr They wouldn't bend light to cloak themselves, because then it would be even easier to see the presence,They would look like the gravitational lensing, Instead I bet the aliens would just find a way to allow their armor to absorb light from behind it and emitt it perfectly towards the viewer, giving an illusion that nothing has been changed to the light, making the unit invisible, We can already do this with todays technology it is just very bulky. I understand that thousands upon thousands of UFO's, strange lights and such have been spotted, but look at where we are? No where, We haven't made ANY progress on these sightings, Any legitimate firm, Organisation and government still doesn't really invest or put some fucking effort into ratfying with scientific basis on any of these sightings. We're still in the dark and no one wants to fucking do anything about it. Pisses me off.

bowser jr I think you misunderstood, I didn't say it WAS Gravitational lensing, I just said that it they bended light around their ship it would look like gravitational lensing, Obviously it isn't. But yes I agree with you, I'd make more sense to cover up and keep people ignorant. There are too many conclusion jumpers who would preach it as the end days.

It is presumptuous to assume *each and every single* civilization would extinct before they meet. There is no guidebook to lifespan of a planetary civilization. Human civilization have existed for a few thousand years now, the only thing we take example from is our destructive nature. But even us haven't gone extinct yet. And there is great chance for us to exist for millions of years more. Even under the worst case scenario. Sure, we don't know if other intelligent beings will be more or less violent than us, but even if they were just the same as us, they would still have the same great chance. So there is no base for to assume a civilization would only exist for a very brief time period. There could be other dangers than self extinction, but there is scientific evidence that natural disasters, whether planetary or from space, can take very, very long time to repeat, enough time to allow a civilization to spread to other planets. Just like the PBS Space Time channel host, I reject to believe the Fermi Paradox. There are only a few logical explanations to the reason we haven't met any other civilization. 1- "Intelligent" life is rarer than our thought (we're the only intelligent race we know of) 2- Space travel is harder than our guess and there is no way to work around the speed of light - things like wormholes don't exist.

Greasy King nonsense

I think we can easily achieve that by becoming immortal ourselves, yes it'll take quite a while but we can simply become androids with our consciousness in our processors and our body made of strong durable materials, if we achieve that, if we become AI or part-cyborg part-human, us the human race can very well meet someone else who either did the same, or another machine race altogether.
