      I like to believe that we are being sequestered, our view of the universe purposely obfuscated, for reasons similar to the prime directive in Star Trek. It makes perfect sense to me, for some reason, that there is a vast intergalactic network of civilizations that we just aren't invited to yet.

    This is an important point to the Fermi paradox, that I think makes the Zoo hypothesis most likely. - we are likely being observed by probes from one or more civilisations. Intelligent life may be rare, but that makes it, and it's development very interesting to observe in an otherwise boring universe.

    I mean sure, they could send out probes, but for what purpose? Once they notice that an alien civilization is in another solar system, how do you signal that back to the original civilization? And once the signal gets there, what purpose does it have? The first civilization will have aged so much that they have fundamentally changed or no longer even remember sending out the original probes.

    I dont think Von Neumann probes are likely, find it hard to believe a machine can make a machine as precise as its self, to make a version of itself perfectly,
    Even if such machines were possible, over generations they would change equivalent to natural selection over time, and the function of machines may become very different to originally intended, as there woukd always be a selctive pressure to survival and reproduction.

  • @reekinronald6776
    @reekinronald6776 Před 22 dny +1

    Man, everyone is missing the obvious about the Fermi paradox and why this whole conversation is silly. A species must do things that will help the species and the individual of that species. Look at our own history of exploration. It was all done because there was potential profit in the exploration. Maybe they would find gold or a quicker more profitable trading route. All this was done because the potential rewards would be realized within the life time of the individuals financing and participating in the exploration. Now look at space exploration. Sub-light space travel simply prevents any deep space exploration or travel. You send out a probe to something that is a few light years away, when the information returns, hundreds, if not thousands of years would have passed on the home world. The individuals that created the expedition would have passed on, hell, the society probably would be completely different in technology, in culture, and what it considers valuable. Sending probes, let alone people, outside ones solar system at sub-light would be utterly pointless. Only if a civilization found way to travel multiple times the speed of light and over come any time issues would we see the evidence of aliens. The obvious answer is that there is no way to travel faster than light.

  • @Hysteresis11
    @Hysteresis11 Před 22 dny

    Really they can't, else we would see the evidence.

    • @stt5v2002
      @stt5v2002 Před 21 dnem

      We might not be able to understand or detect the evidence. Here is an example. Imagine a world Australia is populated only by an uncontacted tribe with technological development equal to what was typical of the year 3000 BC. Everyone else is the same as now. We live as normal, but for philosophical and moral reasons we don't interact with the people in Australia. We avoid going right up to them and introducing ourselves, but be have spread modern civilization basically everywhere else on earth. What would these people know about us and what our capabilities are? Well they would know a few things, Iike that there is something out there beyond the horizon and maybe there are other places people could live. They would see birds and fish and deduce that travel across the ocean is not impossible. They might wonder if anyone is out there. Could they just listen in on our radio communications? No. The communications are there, but they can't detect them. Could they just look into the sky and see that there are satellites up there? No, if they could see something they would not be able to understand what they were looking at. Could they understand why we do the things we do? No, they have no mental framework to understand our needs and wants and desires. Could they know that every day thousands of people travel from India to Japan? No, they don't know about those places and they don't have the means to detect that travel. Would they think that if billions of people were all over the planet doing all sorts of things, that would be obvious to them? Yes, they probably would just as we do.
