I'm no expert on this, but are we not too focused on finding signs of life based on Earth's standards? I mean we kept looking for water, but what if that is not required for living creatures in some other planet? we kept looking for planets with the same temperature to Earth, but what if some other living creature can only live in temperature of -100 degree celcius?
My sentiments exactly.
Look into silicon life forms but bacteria. Also something like next generation AI which previous generations were biological but evolved for whatever reasons
You're making a fair and often discussed point however scientists choose to look at Earth-like planets because we know from experience that these planets can sustain life.
All the other planets are a shot in the dark with the hope that something sticks. Whereas we have an idea what kind of shape life would take on Earth-like planets.
I think most experts agree with this but the only archetype of life we know how to look for is carbon based life that relies on liquid water. There are reasons based on organic and inorganic chemistry to believe that this form of life would be the type that would be most common (if life itself exists elsewhere). For example, there is far more hydrogen, oxygen and carbon (the building blocks of our form of life) in the universe than there are heavier elements. Other forms of life (such as silicon based life) have been theorized but it’s much harder to guess what to look for, and since the requisite ingredients are far rarer it’s harder to find them.
We can only know what life is based off what we know, which is how life is on Earth. Very well may be possible that non water based life does exist, scientists are probably putting more effort to look for what we can already recognize so we know where to look.
Nobody knows what it takes to sustain life. We evolved over 3 billion years in this exact environment. life could well be prolific in environments we never imagined. The universe is very creative.
Not in this exact environment, the Earth has changed dramatically over the last 3 billion years.
yes, but we have only observed live in a planet like ours so although it has been theorized that life could exist in greatly environments different from earth (silicon life), we don't know exactly what to look for so it's safer to look at planeta that are similar to earth since we know such environments gave way to life, also elements loke oxygen , hydrogen and carbon are far more common than any other heavy elements so there's a lot more planets with the same elements as earth
You do realize life happened One Time over four and a half billion years ago on Earth and we are all cousins of that one and only instance. You pretending life is easy when it only ever happened once it's hilarious.
that's somthing that has recently intrigued me. if there is other life in our solar system I think it is most likely microscopic and living near vents in the seafloor on moons
@@kevinkey5270 we have no idea if it happened once or if the life that led to all modern day life forms is either superior during a direct competition or simply lasted longer than any other forms of life that existed.
When you consider how big the observable universe is it’s improbable that there isn’t aliens it’s insanely huge.

I can imagine finding signs of extraterrestrial life becoming almost commonplace in the coming decades/centuries. Once humanity understands what to look for, even finding distant alien civilizations may be a not so uncommon event in the distant future. However, with the almost unfathomable distances involved, I can also imagine humanity quickly losing interest in something they will personally never be able to experience themselves.
We are alone.

@@Littletime839 are you saying you are 5?
In order to find Alien Life, we have to give a clear definition of LIFE. What is LIFE? I don't think Alien needs Oxygen or water. They may feed on radioactive elements, etc.
My uneducated opinion: Life is any sort system capable of interacting with the environment in order to create more of itself. Either in size or iterations.
Once you think of life as a general system that perpetuates itself, it’s easier to open your mind as to what living is.
@@apothecurio You have more wisdom than those stubborn scientist
@@wdfaseer5898 I’m basically just copying Josach Bach talking points but thank you.
There’s life on Earth - appreciate it
Why can’t we search to see if we’re the only intelligent life in this galaxy?
A Trillion galaxies. We began believing that the key was finding planets in the habitable zone of its host star. But the real key might actually be, just finding the water. ( as wherever there is water on Earth there is life) And since there are multiple moons in our solar system with liquid oceans beneath their icy crust, it might be that life could exist more frequently in aquatic worlds than in terrestrial worlds, and the habitable zone might not have anything to do with it if the host planet is large enough to tug on its moons enough to create liquid water on a moon. Europa should be our first Habitat after Mars.

Imagine a civilization with Einstein level i.q but not enough metals on your planet to advance technologically. In others words intelligence doesn't always go hand in hand with technological advancement
Arthur C. Clarke imagined this in one of the stories in his collection Expedition to Earth.
Whales are supposed to be smart, but they have no hands and can't use fire. Same for octopi.
Elephants might have a chance, but being a herbivore means you have less motivation to solve problems, since your food doesn't run away.
I like to think that science always find its ways.
If not metals, which seems improbable due to what we know about planets and stars chemical composition, there could be other "materials" that we don't even know. Anyway, metals is a very broad definition.
I guess that if you have Einsteins, you probably also have physics laws, and "materials" affected by those laws.
I really hope we get utterly amazed at the level and layers that Nature and the natural world can be capable of with in our vast ranges of worlds, throughout space, and that there is all sorts of base forms of say like extremophiles or just such foreign based biology that it's like we are looking at unknown technology and we learn how it operates and functions. That's what I really hope to find.
Know I'm a minority here but I think it would be more interesting if there were no other lifeforms other than the ones here on earth.
@@HamburgerWastelandNah, that's scary. Even a bunch of different alien lifeforms would be scary.... but then.... we might actually get to **** them. Eh? Lol
Natural world is earth no the universe.
@@HamburgerWasteland I agree. If we’re literally alone that’s WAY more terrifying. If that’s a ‘Star Wars’ type society out there. We’ll soon get use to it and there will be more tribalism.
When I think The Economist I think hypothetical discussions about if aliens exist.
Lol
Right.
The real reason why we still have not found any Alien life is because we still don't know what are we looking for and how to look for it. In other words, we have not yet evolved enough to truly comprehend what is around us, despite the common belief. We expect to find alien life that mimics the one in the planet earth because we believe that life can only form on the condition found in our planet. We couldn't possibly be anymore wrong. There is a possibility other life forms are all around us, we just have no means to see our understand it because we are not build or evolved enough for such thing. The same way an Ant colony does not understand that their nest is build just in the house corner of life forms that are far far superior to them, called Humans. Our mistake is that we believe we are the pinnacle of intelligence, and on the grand scale of things that's just halirious, considering we have barely stepped on the Moon, which is just on our doorstep.
it's not the we believe live can only exist on a planet like earth but more so that we know for sure that it can so it's safer to look at planets similar to earth, it has been theorized that live can exist on planets that normally aren't considered habitable but we don't know for sire and we don't know how life there would look so looking for life there would be a shot in the dark
@@ejhstmac8783 well
Yes. Exactly this ! We are just so primitive, we can't even begin to understand what's out there ? We've only been around a few minutes in comparison to far more advanced life forms
That footage at 08:49 of life on Earth beginning has survived quite well
I’m calling right now that we’re going to find complex multicellular life on Europa, Titan, and Enceladus.
I can't believe how most people think life is easy because they see all the different species we have here on Earth, but it only ever happened once over four and a half billion years ago and all living things on Earth are cousins. We are related to a cellular Adam after that no life has ever been created.
Cellular "Adam" huh?
Yeah but those cellular atoms you talk about were created in just soups of boiling biochemical b******* their soups of biochemical b******* everywhere in the universe you can't tell me things like plants and trees and animals just aren't f****** everywhere everywhere there's water is probably f****** animals Intelligent life is the real question there's only three possibilities dark Forest theory aliens and the universe the same thing a forest is the associate animals just standing in the forest monkeys don't jump out of trees to greet you everybody's hiding in separate trees because they're worried they're going to be eaten by the others that's what every society in the universe is doing hiding why are they hiding because this universe isn't big enough for all of us every intelligent species that evolves into sentience and hypertechnology must think themselves gods and if they don't they intend to not die I assume just think about it if we found an alien planet with a bunch of medieval people on it and then our scientists came to us and said their brain is 10% larger than ours and they're technological advancement is going faster they're going to be more advanced than us in just a hundred years there would be calls to below these people up to preemptively invade them because what's going to happen they're going to realize that we're looking at them and then they're going to realize how much technology they have on either try to fight us or conquer us because their own self priority is their main concern just like ours is
No new life is being created because it gets destroyed as soon as it barely does, but the already existing life. The same goes for intelligence, of course there's only 1, as if another came close to evolving human-level intelligence we'd obliterate them.
i understand being in the liquid water zone is important but maybe some life in the universe may use another source.
I believe it's ignorant to think life forms outside earth require the same fundamental building blocks. It would have evolved under very different conditions.
I understand it in a sense because that’s all we have to go off so we have to start somewhere. Id be curious if there are other theories of what could be building blocks for life outside of what we know.
@@EJD339 Silicon base
Nobody think so. But we have limited resources and therefore have to prioritize our search.
I have a feeling we will make contact with intelligent life within this century.
@Qwerty Store invade us ? what for ? with what ?
It's strange to experience something and then have the people around you question if it's a reality or not....
That’s what I always debate with my close friends. “What if I told you a disc shaped ufo came down, aliens spoke to me then flew away. Think of how hard it would be for you a close friend to truly believe I was telling the truth.”
Putting things in perspective is step one lol
@@justemusicme wellll... I mean the human mind is pretty freaky.
Sometimes it makes up memories when encountering an error, thats how deja vues happen. I mean we literally have a blind spot in the eye and our brain just fills in the missing space and most people live their whole lives without even realizing it.
...
So a brain injury leading to the brain trying to fill in the lost time is not such a strange thing...
also if there are aliens who have exactly two feet and two hands and two eyes just like us and use vehicles like us then that would be a huge coincidence eh
I can answer it to u already - life is much, much more rare than we think… life as we know is truly a miracle and we don’t value it as we should!
We cannot answer definitely whether viruses are alive, so it seems odd to think that there could be other structures that are almost alive but not quite.

This seems like an artefact of our need to categorise a disorderly world, rather than an unanswered question. But yes, it would be fascinating to see what RNA/DNA analogues exist in the cosmos. My thinking is they would be quite similar in principle due to the abundance of the same organic compounds, the same laws of physics. We see in nature the same problems being solved multiple times independently.
@@RedLemon69 it's Pando
Life creates it own environment and is based on the same physics.
Cool to see the face to the voice that I know from your many podcasts.
If we found a warm, oxygen rich planet within 5 light-years, I guess we could have probes in orbit by end of the century (e.g. breakthrough starshot), and we could go there in another century, by way of nuclear propulsion.
there's actually the Alpha Centauri system that could in fact sustain life or even have it, so who knows. I think that would be the greatest event in history, finding alien life, even if it's just bacteria or something like that.

This video makes me feel like makind is going back to the right way and i love that.
The Mothman is still out there
1:53 Does anyone know what movie this is?
A planet can be too hot for life, but I doubt that a planet can ever be too cold for life. In descending towards the core of a planet the temperature rises. There are also 'tidal' gravitational forces which can produce heat. For this reason a number of bodies just in our own solar system alone, are though to have large oceans inside.
Excellent report. The only comment I can give is just that newer telescopes has and will have bigger mirrors, not lenses. Because they will be almost exclusively reflectors. Not refractors.
Great video 👍
Wasn’t the signal discovered in the 70’s just a pulsar?
Where are they getting their graphics from?
Intelligent life has already found us and it's obvious to anyone who is paying attention.
If you believe in the Kardashev scale who discovered who is irrelevant. It just and was. 🖖
Just a theory but I believe that there are other variables to life that we don’t have the imagination to fathom or the technology to find it. I believe there to be an infinity of information beyond our comprehension and we will never understand everything in our lifetime or even within the existence of mankind. I don’t say this to be negative I meant it to glorify science and in admiration of its complexity.
Yes life could be based on a geometrical process that part of mainstream science.
Yes, that and any number of other various possibilities. What I was getting to was that with our limited understanding of life and what that consist of I feel as though we are missing things that could be of significance. I believe that there are elements and other things that we are not able to trace yet. For example there could be a planet close enough to explore that contains life but maybe has a different atmosphere with unknown elements. I’m definitely not a scientist and I’m sure someone much more intelligent than me has already thought of these things. It is interesting to think about though. Intelligent life beyond the human imagination. Hidden gems just beyond our horizons and we are just scratching the surface of exploration. It’s a beautiful thing, I love the curiosity and the sheer will of humans who seek the knowledge of the universe it’s a commendable and unselfish way to live one’s life.
Aliens don't exist, aliens are like bigfoot, santa clause and super heroes.
every search starts with the same bias, water, life as WE KNOW IT needs water but it doesn't mean another life form might need it
Interesting...mentions the importance of the Goldilocks Zone, but misses out the fact the Goldilocks Zone only works if there is a LOT of water (aka the amount only found in a Frost Zone usually). So not only does an Exoplanet need to be in a Goldilocks Zone,it also needs a oversized moon, or a large Jupiter class gas giant- something that indicates the transfer of volatiles from the frost zone to what is still the 'too hot zone'.
Getting volatiles from the frost zone to the Goldilocks Zone needs a large gravity source causing chaos so you can have a Late Heavy Bombardment/Theia type collision. Otherwise? Goldilocks is a red herring.
Nice video.

Yes, the economists are the ones I trust when it comes to this topic.
I really want to believe what out there. We might not be only life in universe.
I'm no scientist, but it seems the question of "is there life elsewhere?" could be answered in part by trying to calculate how many planets should have hosted an abiogenesis at some point, or perhaps by calculating how many carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphate atoms there are in the universe and then calculating how many DNA molecules we should expect to be produced.
At least, space is growing
Of course! *Sheer probability* = definitely yes
Not necessarily. Bacterial life, almost certainly. Multicellular life -- maybe. Intelligent, technological civilisations, possibly not. Thus far, there has been absolutely ZERO evidence. If THEY exist in another galaxy, then we will never know, and thus, effectively, they will not exist, and neither will we from their viewpoint.
Water is not necessarily the ONLY solvent which could provide a medium for life to form. There may be other solvent media in the galaxy, or even in our own solar system (Titan). These alternative solvents could lead to alternative forms of biochemistry distinct from our own. All that is really needed is a mixing medium for chemicals to get together and react.

liquid water can exist outside the goldilocke zone, for example Jupiters moon Europa, althogh its surface is completely frozen solid due to Jupiter and other moons it pulls on Europa and warms the moon, it is almost 100% certian that theres a liquid ocean underneath Europa's icy surface. theres also evidence that its core is active. since theres a source of energy (geothermal) simple forms of life can exist there.
