    If we live in an open Universe, the size of the universe is infinite. Therefore, it doesn't make any sense to talk about the total number of alien civilizations in the entire universe. It only makes sense to talk about the density of alien civilizations. That is, number of civilizations per galaxy, for example.

      @EugeneKhutoryansky Před 9 lety +2

      Dan Albl No, I mean the entire universe. Think of an open universe as an infinite number of points along an infinite line. You can have the distance between each point and its two neighboring points increase with time. In this case, the Universe would be infinite, and yet the distance between the neighboring galaxies would still be increasing with time.

      Despite there being a number of at least self aware species all across our planet (dolphins, elephants, a few variants of great apes, etc), we're the only one to have developed technology of any kind.
      Aliens will NOT be able to explore the universe, or even reach our level of tech unless they're of these three things:
      1) have the ability to construct; they have limbs, or whatever that is needed to manipulate tools or resources
      2) have a desire to even build tools to help them in the first place
      3) have a desire to explore, like us.
      If this is not the case, and the aliens are kind of lame, they might end up never actually leaving their world until they are either killed off by a random asteroid, or by overpopulation.
      Even if they did manage to get into space, what's to say that they'd build anything more advanced than their most basic constructions? If anything, they might just stop trying when they figured that nothing could go faster than the speed of light (a lot of people these days here at home seem all that uninterested in proclaimed 'ftl drives,' since there is supposedly no real feasible way for them to exist).
      If FTL really is impossible, I seriously doubt that anyone would get anywhere fast, ever.

      ***** it depends on size of the planet/space station.
      You'd really need to build a very large space station to generate enough gravity to collapse on itself. A space station size of Earth won't have enough mass to collapse on itself, it'll be barely one third the mass of earth generating half of Earth's gravity.

    Regarding Dyson Sphere detection....
    How could you detect infrared emitted from it?
    Presumably the Sphere would be designed to capture ALL forms of energy being emitted from the star, so that would include heat energy. The exterior side of the sphere would be ice cold, because the heat has been absorbed before reaching the exterior.

  • @Hassan12239
    @Hassan12239 Před 9 lety

    Hey Trace! maybe you can make a video about manipulation of gravity? if you want I can share certain information on questions you make for part of the video :)? Anyways what i believe do to experiments I am trying to do hypothesis and equations i made using superconducting material that it is not possible to create anti gravity but .. you can direct the propagation of gravity in other words directing the propagation of gravitons and with equations I have made in hypothesis the normal propagation of gravitons is 64C and it is possible to attract gravitons to one area through certain frequencies and rotations of the superconductor and in other ways discharge these gravitons to compress and decompress space RECURSIVELY because gravity affects gravity in a recursive way
    not only that but I believe that if someone can achieve the compression and decompression of space which essensially is attracting and pushing away gravitons effectively distorting space then someone can create a device that is sensitive to gravity and sensative to these distortions if you have a device sensitive enough to the distortions you can effectively map any part of the parsec we are in
    and I am trying to work on making a device that effectively creates a gravity distortion to bring an object toward it or move it away and notice im not saying push away because gravity/gravitons is the thing that tells matter which way to move
    and I will be doing an experiment very soon that is based off work and equations i made (based off machs principle; the principle of inertia) and designs that fit within the law of relativity I checked it over with my professors and collegues multiple times we believe that the experiement that is to be done will most likely work and is a 90 percent chance of success and if not we do believe that we are still on to something if it works it could effectively compress and decompress space around an object affecting the space around it in a recursive manner and something that could detect the recursive distortions so hopefully if that is done we can measure the strength of a distortion that came across passing by earth determine its size and its width with predictions of what a warp drive is capable of distorting and then come up with equations from the data that will allow us to measure the distance from the point of origin where the distortion occured in space where we cant see with telescopes and effectively then predict how much compression and decompression of space itself it would take to initiate a warp drive by measuring the initial distortion of gravitons/space when first understanding the original device me and my team is trying to create that will attract and push away gravitons and again that if achieved even on a small scale will effectively compress and decompress space then can be scaled up to the be fit on a ship and with the compression and decompression of space there would be no need for rockets to get into space. what we the phenomon that we are trying to create is a transient mass shift and the device can achieve a transient mass shift of 24% when it reaches a 100% shift it can begin to direct the propagation of atoms and molecules upwards removing all effective atmospheric pressure above the object when that atmospheric pressure is 0 and the bottom of the craft is 8 square feet for example at sea level there will be 1,411.2 pounds of force applied onto the craft itself from the bottom and here is what is nice if you can comperes or decompress space in a region you can counter the effect of inertia if inertia is caused by gravity then pulse it at the persons body so if there is a 200 pound male on the craft which has no fuel and only energy being used then he will be accelerated into space at a speed of 38,758.4 feet per second from the force at and near sea level without his body taking stress because the device will pulse the gravitons at him in a specific direction creating a transient mass shift equal and oppisite to the shift applied from the gravity of earth
    if you have a question of what a transient mass shift is , think of a physical mass shift when someone pushes you or when you are pressing down with your pencil on a paper that is a physical mass shift but a transient mass shift is a shift from a magnetic field or from gravity and so the person will have zero or near zero g-force applied onto his body even accelerating at near that speed in a second and reaching escape velocity without fuel needed an atmospheric drive which directs the propagation of gravity upwards which in turn directs the propagation of the atoms upwards so they "fall" towards the sky and then use the atmospheric pressure below the object to propel it into space. and then when getting into space the object can rapidly compress space infront of it stopping it from moving forward and then slowly dial down the energy used to attract the gravitons allowing the gravity to flow back into the void when reaching near the ISS or the moon
    we predict that a drive that is slower than light speed can be near a celestial mass and move around but if the craft is to be initiate a faster than light travel then it has to exit the solar system first and then go out a bit even farther away from the solar system before initiating a faster than light drive because the distortion of space and gravitons will be so massive that if its near a celestial mass it could possibly tear a planet apart entirely and if you are about 1 million kilometers away from a celestial mass traveling near the speed of light you might effect the planets orbit around its parent star...not good at all even if its a few inches and so as you get closer to a celestial mass the speed has to slow down but it most likely will be safe to initiate a drive at 20% the speed of light after you pass twice the distance between a planet and its moon/moons and as you get farther away the drive can increase the percentage of speed and when exiting the solar system then a faster than light drive can be activated... of course .-. this will only be possible if the few experiments we are doing now work.. which is tedious at times but fun to work with my friends and professors :) if the device works then we predict about 2 years for an atmospheric drive to be made 10-15 years for a sub luminal drive to be made and how ever long it takes scientists to figure out fusion or contain an antimatter reaction to sustain an FTL drive and for any aliens that have a warp drive they can most definately see almost immediately someone/something distorted space and pinpoint the origin of the distortion and follow the following distorion it will be like you lit a massive beacon
    and when we figure out one day in the far future how to create a jump drive to jump from one place to another then we can have beacons which create massive spacial distortions which will be like a beacon for massive ships to jump onto and the ships will of course be shielded from the distortion effects because they can create it so they will be fine just imagine that... party A lights a beacon and party B initiates a warp jump and appears a few hundred kilometers off the bow of the beacon xD

    I watched this one video that had said we actually have received a transmission from another civilization but took years to decode cause it was a message within mathematics and once they had actually decoded it they learned it was a sos message from another civilization asking for help. They said that the civilization was just about advanced as ours having limited space travel capabilities. They said there was widespread famine and death and had no means to evacuate the remaining population and that the crisis was of there own doing. The ex-soviet who was head of some space organization said that the rest was confidential and that the crisis that the civilization was within could had possibly been caused by a nuclear war. He also added that when they sent the message sabertooth tigers were still roaming the Earth.

    It is very hard for alien life to come in contact with Us. The universe is just huge. To get to a civilization Type 3 it would take us decades! The universe is pretty old and we are quite young as a species if an alien species has already got to the Type 3 civilization , they might know the existance of earth and humans but might not want to contact us in order for humans to be able to continue their life cycle.

    Type 1 is a global civilization shopping for planets in its immediate neighborhood. We're at the premises of becoming one. The internet is actually an example of type 1 technology: A type 1 communications and information system.

      i believe it was more of, consuming energy directly from sun without letting any waste away, and transmit it to earth. I dont think living that close to sun would be a good idea. Priyanka chopra is already too hot!

  • @chrisms6446
    @chrisms6446 Před 9 lety

    We have found them. 1. Just look up at the night sky and do the math (Drake equation). 2. If this doesn't work for you then check out SETI and check out how hard it is to decode wireless data. The amount of transmissions that we've been picking up for years are truly massive. Decoding these transmissions would be difficult even if they were intentionally sending them straight at our receiver. So instead we've been looking for obvious signals that would likely only be transmitted by a similar technologically advanced civilization as our own (triplets and gaussians). 3. More than 90% of the universe can only be seen as the shadow of the gravimetric fields of dark matter and energy.
    The universe is full of life we have not seen: we cannot see it yet, or cannot interpret what we are seeing.

    But if there are planets that have existed since the beginning of The Big Bang shouldn´t their sun be dead by now? But maybe if they are a type 3 civilization they probably have figured out how to travel to other planets and galaxies. Because we have only "used" half of the lifetime of our sun so we have time on us to figure out how to travel to other galaxies.

  • @lubricatedgoat
    @lubricatedgoat Před 9 lety

    There aren't many advantages to being a naturally evolved meat creature when it comes to star-hopping. IMHO any entities that decide to leave home will probably be entirely engineered for the job.
    What would be really interesting is if aliens could somehow figure out how to construct themselves at a great distance without leaving home. For example, sending powerful pulses of laser light into a distant atmosphere, generating a particular molecule that could then respond to another pulse, eventually building a system complex enough to begin processing data and replicating the senders, or at least constructing sensors and transmitters.
    Another likely mode of travel would be nano-scale devices traveling close to light speed. Perhaps the makers would have figured out a method of communication that's instantaneous, and could blast these probes all over the place and receive a constant flow of data. We'd miss them as they passed by, but they'd see us.
    Maybe our next level-up will reveal what we're now blind to. I'll leave that to our offspring, the AIs.
    Final thought: I think the idea of aliens using stars for power doesn't make much sense. Space is expanding rapidly and increasingly -- surely there will be a way to tap into this energy source, such that the aliens could siphon vacuum energy in unlimited quantities and remain almost as dark as a lonely singularity.

    Simply put, these alien civilisations probably exist but are too far away for us to feasibly contact in a short amount of time. Even if there were thousands of advanced civilisations in just our own universe there's still little chance that any of them are very close to us physically.

    @Thezuule1 Před 9 lety

    Any advanced civilization capable of long distance space travel has moved beyond radio waves as a means of communication as the laws of physics make it impractical as a means of communication across such long distances. We can listen for radio frequencies until the end of the time and the best we're ever going to get is a transmission from a very young civilization like ourselves. Any species that can travel a million light years though space has found a way to not have to wait a million years for a data transmission. We're not listening in the right place and we're probably unable to even if we wanted to. With our current knowledge the only means of instant communication across such vast distances seems to be in the process of quantum entanglement.
