  • Pointed ears, blue skin, abnormal head, or reptilian jaws: there are a thousand ways in which science fiction literature, movies, and alleged eyewitness accounts have depicted Aliens visiting Earth. So different in height, shape, and somatic features, but still with one thing in common: a vaguely human appearance.
    But if in the entertainment world, it is easier and cheaper to make up actors as humanoid E.T.'s rather than as shapeless blobs or tentacled octopuses--in the scientific debate the criteria are evidently different.
    Yet there is no consensus among researchers as to what these possible neighbors from the next galaxy should look like: assuming and not assuming they exist, are they similar enough to us or so different that our minds cannot even imagine them?
    Try to follow along and we will try to find out together. OK?
    Some argue that it is futile to speculate on the nature of alien life; our imaginations would be too constrained by our own experience to be able to embrace the amazing heterogeneity and unusual possibilities perhaps realized in other worlds.
    The Divergent Evolution: Do Aliens Have To Look Like Us?
    One of the main lines of thought in contemporary astrobiology is that extraterrestrial intelligent life will be very similar to us in many ways, especially when higher levels of organization are considered. This is because the processes that give rise to life are assumed to operate independently of the environment, and also because physics severely limits the variety of feasible options. Therefore, the probability that intelligent life is evolving elsewhere in the cosmos may be very high, although the probability that it is humanoid in type may be very low. The truth is that we know very little. For example, we do not know if Earth was the lucky winner of a cosmic lottery or if life has appeared elsewhere in the universe. We do not even know if a hypothetical ET would follow the same laws that we know on the only planet that definitely supports life. There is little doubt that physical and chemical laws apply throughout the universe, but there is not the same certainty about biological laws. Frankly, if we were to encounter life on another planet, we might not even be able to recognize it. In short, our first contact with advanced aliens might be a blow to our self-esteem as we face, who knows, a more intelligent species than our own. But if that first contact ever happens, we should be prepared for another twist: the aliens may be so different from us that they won't even realize that we are sentient.

    Convergent evolution fascinates me because it demonstrates how different species can independently evolve similar traits, like how the wings of birds and bats have evolved separately to serve the same function. On the other hand, divergent evolution, where related species evolve distinct traits, highlights the incredible diversity of life, like how Darwin's finches adapted different beak shapes for different food sources. It's amazing to think about how these evolutionary paths shape the biodiversity we see today, reflecting both the uniqueness and commonalities of life on Earth.

Takes things separated by over 500 million years and convergent evolution disappears. Life on Earth and alien life would be separated by a lot more than that. Convergent evolution guided by what?

    The scale was originally designed in 1964 by the Russian astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev (who was looking for signs of extraterrestrial life within cosmic signals). It has 3 base classes, each with an energy disposal level: Type I (10¹⁶W), Type II (10²⁶W), and Type III (10³⁶W). Other astronomers have extended the scale to Type IV (10⁴⁶W) and Type V (the energy available to this kind of civilization would equal that of all energy available in not just our universe, but in all universes and in all time-lines). These additions consider both energy access as well as the amount of knowledge the civilizations have access to.🌎🌍🌏🌐🌐🌐🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌠🌠🌠🌠👽👽👽👽👽👽🧘🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️👫🧕👲👳‍♀️👦👧🏟🏞🏝🏜🏖🏕🗻🌋🏗🏛🏢🏤🏥🏯🏠🏡🏩🏪🏬🏯💒🏰🕍🛕⛪️🌁🗽🗼🕋⛩️🎪💈🎢🎡🎠🌉🌇🌆🌄🌄🏙🌃🌁🚉🚈🚇🚆🚅🚄

    I'd opt for convergence on a planet due to common genetic ancestry of life and divergence on planets in other solar systems due to an alien tree of life with its unique branches and twigs.
    Simple life may be abundant in the galaxy, but complex life seems to be rare. The step from simple life to intelligence is enormous-indeed, just getting to complexity (a precursor to intelligence) seems to be a huge step. It took Earth more than two billion years to develop Eukaryotes from Prokaryotes, the ancestors of all complex life on Earth some 1,8 billion years ago. The elaboration of the brain of the hominids began less than 3 million years ago, and that of the cortex of Homo sapiens occurred only about 300,000 years ago. 90 years ago we started to send radio signals into space and 70 years ago the beep-beep of Sputnik impressed mankind.

    Given the number of planets that we are aware of, it seems inevitable that there will be life out there somewhere
    Though, I'm of the opinion that in order for life to gain intelligence certain criteria have to be met
    1) A lifespan long enough to gather knowledge
    2) A means to communicate that knowledge to others of their kind
    3) A means to create and manipulate tools
    Within those requirement biology can vary wildly, but I believe that all 3 have to be met in some fashion
    I don't care how big a creatures brain might be or how long it will live if has no means to teach what it knows to its offspring or if it only has ridged claws that don't allow it to create anything of any real use
    Thus, I would say that life is probably abundant in the universe. But intelligence is rare
    My dog is pretty smart, but he can't talk and he can't make tools
    Could dogs evolve over time to gain those traits. Definitely, but the odds of that happening are probably constraint by the fact that they already live with an intelligent race and we engage in activities that make it unnecessary for them to gain those traits
    So I guess that my 4th requirement would probably be not having another competing species evolving at the same location to hold them back or wipe them out

      Maybe we could selectively breed dogs for intelligence?

    • @dugebuwembo
      @dugebuwembo Před 3 měsíci +2

      Actually intelligence is more complex than this! Dogs & some other species don't "talk" but they do have methods of communication that are complex and in the case of Orca probably as sophisticated as us yet we can't speak to them or understand them. There are interspecies barriers when it comes to communication!
      Orca are able to communicate in incredibly complex ways yet their language is mysterious and unfathomable because it is based on unique senses and communication mechanisms they have evolved. They are able to communicate using clicks and wails they emit from their heads as well as through their body language. They can even communicate visual information through their sonic clicks. Their songs are loud and can be heard for miles & we don't know what they are saying. Imagine an alien species may communicate in a pitch that our ears can't detect or encode information in complex ways & at higher frequencies. Consider the fact that bird song is impossible for a human being to imitate because birds have vocal chords that allow them to produce far more complex sounds than we can.
      It may seem as simple as stating that another species can't "talk" but actually interspecies communication is so enigmatic that only until the advent of AI are we beginning to gain insight into the languages of other species.
      Cephalopods can communicate information through flashing colours on their skin. I have watched schools of squid communicating this way, turning half their bodies dark and the other white for example in a complex dance under water. We don't know what they are saying!

    Keep in mind how short our reign as an "intelligent" species has been. Life has been on this planet for a couple billion years. Several different classes have been dominant for millions of years only to be wiped out during 5 or 6 mass extinction events. We've only been, what we would call intelligent, for about 2-3 million years. I believe life is fairly common in the universe, but actual intelligence is extremely rare.
    And don't forget, the concept of intelligence could be different. They may be so focused on improving their environment, they have no interest what lies outside their solar system, let alone the universe. Part of our interest in space is because our population keeps growing and we think about colonizing new worlds, but other intelligent life may have learned how to live in harmony with their world and never risk over-breeding

    Been wondering, is maybe there’s some thing to the Fermie paradox that wasn’t taken into the equation as to why, with all galaxies, solar systems, and planets why we are not seeing spaceships moving around in the distance, I was thinking, maybe the size of the planets and how many planets, having a Jupiter gas giant, the size, color and stage the sun is in, the distance between all the planets on the sun, the gravity on our earth, the material the moon is made out, the orbit of our moon, the fact that we only have one moon. It could be a mixture of all these or some of these to get the right combination. Also, they can vary with different combinations you have less planets maybe you can have bigger planets or smaller moons you can have more moons. But regardless, I think there is a more complex formula to life on a planet, and that may be why life is very rare.

    So glad to find your channel, I just had to subscribe! It's very rare to come across material that is based in science rather than pseudoscience, which seems to fester in the post-45 world.
    Your video was intelligent, cogent and well thought out. Very few take this direction to spell out what ET will look like, or how it will think - if it does indeed think.
    However, the word 'sentient' is a misnomer that too many people use incorrectly because it has been lazily used in science fiction as a catch-all. Sentient only means 'the power of perception by the senses' or 'aware of one's environment.' This technically means that something is aware of environmental pressures, which is basically how to eat or avoid being eaten: the dichotomy of predator vs prey, which are aware of their surroundings. By definition, most vertebrates are sentient, and a case can be made for lower animals being 'aware' in this way.
    The more precise word is "sapient," which is defined as 'having or showing self-awareness,' which is the very definition of the human ability to think and adapt to its environment.
    By the way, I was delighted with the artistic interpretation of the creature based in silicon! I've only ever seen work that shows flattish, sessile crystals that look like tall bits of quartz.
    I look forward to seeing more of your videos and will be going through your library to see what other great topics you've covered.

    Convergence evolves because of divergence. Divergence evolves from convergence. Laws of physics, chemistry and competition constitute the constraints, and those laws are universal. The physics, chemistry and game theoretic equlibria we study here apply without modification everywhere.

    Well, if the aliens are technological at all, they'll need appendages to manipulate tools, not claws or slime, they'd have to have a form of legs to move and manufacturer. So that covers arms and legs, the rest of the body shape could be very different from humans. The aliens would have eyes on the front of the head most likely only 2 for depth perception in manufacturing.

    We have realized that life in space without gravity would force the human body to adapt without gravity helping us live how we evolved. Moving digested food through our intestines for example is very different without gravity. An alien species could evolve like us but then change due to the radiation and low gravity of space. How that might happen might be a good subject for a future video of yours.

    While the bricks that build the being may vary the basic requirements for an intelligent being do not.... Enough brain matter to process the senses and control the limbs, plus spare capacity to invent and design and build and operate a complex interstellar device.... In all likelihood they will be quite similar to us with two eyes two legs and two arms each with hands that can manipulate tools, an entry for sustenance and exit for waste, and plenty of spare brain power so as to be able to communicate and understand the science of physics chemistry and biology as they may view it.

    Convergent evolution is common on earth so if a alien planet has similar conditions to earth it would be possible for an alien life form to develop a similar body type to animals on earth if we were to discover a alien it wouldn't be any stranger than a cuddle fish or octopus.

    When you think about it the chance of aliens looking similar to are less than what we think although evolution could do it. It wouldn’t be necessary to do it.
    All the 4 limbs and a head species share a common ancestor aswell as 6 legged and 8 legged. These are species that maybe survived because of the environment not because it’s universally better.

    In my opinion, if they're that intelligent a species, I think they could design and develop technology suitable for them and tools that they could operate, without having opposable thumbs lol. We always think of tools that we are familiar with. They could have tools that only their body type could operate

  • @BonanzaRoad
    @BonanzaRoad Před 3 měsíci

    The evolution of life on earth was uniquely shaped by happenstance…ice ages, droughts, continental drift, asteroid impacts, volcanic activity, weather changes, and countless other unique factors. It’s unlikely that the same evolutionary forces would have occurred on exoplanets. Any life forms on exoplanets would have evolved based on entirely different evolutionary forces and novel biology. To assume that alien life would resemble life on earth, not withstanding the possibility of convergent evolution, is probably misguided.

      I don’t think the argument is that life will be similar. The argument is that life that also develops technology must have at least similar features such as something like a nervous system, visual system, probably hearing, locomotion, and manipulating appendages. It will be land based, not a marine creature and will be able to communicate with each other.

    The evolution of the two sides of the Atlantic provide an apposite model. Despite independent development the Americas and the Eastern hemisphere developed plant domestication, pyramids and urban complexes. The Americas led in plant domestication as the tonnage of crops domesticated there quickly exceeded that of Old World domesticates within 200 years of 1492. The potato, domesticated in the Andes, proved decisive in the food supply of Russia and Ireland.
    On the biological level parallels of marsupial mammals of various niches evolved on continents with placental mammals despite independent development since deep in the age of the dinosaurs 🦕.
    Because "gestation" of embryos in eggs place an upper ceiling on the size of hatchlings large terrestrial vertebrates with oviparous reproduction would have to have a lot of their behavior preprogrammed, which is why such details as the shape and materials of their nests the build and of mating dances are stringently grafted into birds and presumably would have been so exhibited by their dinosaurian and modified diapsid ancestors. Because of the requirement of behavioral plasticity and a long period of learning, aliens with technological civilizations will be viviparous and not egg layers.
