I really hope you enjoy this supercut! Parts of 12 different episodes have gone into this one, plus a lot of extra content made specifically for this video. I know this is a very long video, so I'm curious to know how you get on with it, so I can gauge whether I should ever do something like this again in the future.
Thanks for watching!
Alex
We are the aliens of this world 😏🫶
Thanks Alex!
Every so called "scientist" that does not see that the universe is a living thing is just a mechanic. His mind can only process the obvious parts of life before his eyes.
Everything is alive. Life does not end at the other side of a cell's membrane. A city is an organism too. There is no isolated system in the universe. It's systems within systems, overlapping each other.
God is life itself. Everything in life is connected. We are part of a greater being. Religions are just different languages, they are an attempt to communicate this insight to other humans. With science getting more and more of the picture (macrocosm, microcosm), and people getting educated about it, it will be easier and easier for everyone to understand it.
For that:☮️, you have to see this:☯️
Everything is made up of pure energy. Particles are vibrations in energy fields (Quantum Field Theory). Matter is an illusion.
Biological humanoid aliens far more advanced than us may already have transitioned into cyborgs or full synthetics 💟🌌☮️
My wife and I are about to celebrate our 55th anniversary. We have set this video as our movie for the night. Thanks for putting this together.
Congrats!
That is the sweetest thing 🥲 congrats and enjoy!
AWW STAY BLESSED ALWAYS AMEEN AMEN 🙏
aww, and here i am about to sign my divorce papers.
Congrats!! I too like to watch material such as this and I hope to find a nice lady to enjoy this with some day 😭
All in good time I suppose.
Hello Alex,
I’m a grandma from Manchester UK and I really enjoy your videos. I think they’re extremely well done and your delivery is perfect for me. You explore and explain things with a direct, clear manner. Plus, I enjoy the topics you share - even in my sixties I still love to learn.
Hello Grandma! Hope you're having a nice day 💛✨
Learning should be a life long pursuit. The older I get the less I realize I know.
"Even in your sixties" You have barely grown up :-)
There's people who think they know *everything*, that have lived for a shorter period than what you have left!
I do not understand your reply but I think what you said was important, but did you intend it negatively or positively?@@abumohandes4487
I hope you are doing well Grandma ❤️
This has given me nearly 2 weeks of content to fall asleep to.
Everytime I go to bed I resume the video to the point I last remember.
Theres few things more comforting in my life than being able to watch this channel and a few other similar ones most nights.
Same here. Just tucking in and happy that I don't have to search for videos to fall asleep to for a long time.
I listen to these too. So soothing
It's not that bad.
@@stevecooper6515 lol, I don't think OP meant to say it's so bad ' can't stay awake while watching it. At least _I_ didn't mean it that way. It's that we intentionally only watch the video when we're about to sleep, for me because I'm always busy for most of the day and I truly enjoy the content so I just have to squeeze in time to watch it.
Ugh you dont know what insomnia is
*"Temperature can affect size"*
"I WAS IN THE POOL"
Astrum, your voice is so calming that I always try listening to them to go to sleep, the only issue is that the content is so interesting I can’t help but to stay awake so that I can enjoy it in it’s entirety.
By far one of my favorite channels man, please keep them coming.
It is a problem. Lol. 1:30 am, and I have to be up for work at 7:30. Gonna close my eyes now.
He's the only thing that helps me sleep but I always have to re-play videos again and again from where I last remember before nodding off haha
This is what creator content is meant to be. Thank you.
Hey Alex, thank you. I hope you see this and know how much you've helped so many. It's neither here nor there what I, or anyone else is going through, or has been through but your contributions have helped countless people get through some seriously tough times and been a wonderful escape from our struggles here on Earth and pointed our eyes toward the skies. Toward things greater than ourselves and anything we could possibly imagine. Much love, bud.
This was really interesting, but the question "What Will Humanity Do If We Ever Discover Aliens?" was barely touched? The title should be: "What we know about-, and how we look for alien life"
Totally agree
TY, I stopped watching at 3 min.. I know all of that and more.
Once I understood the scale of the observable universe I came to a realization that discovering or contacting any potensial extra terrestrials was a slim one. Then I also realized the the scale of time and how small we are in that dimension as well. Even within our own galaxy there doesnt seem to be any reasonable setting for us to make any contact with others if they exist, have existed or will exist. In astronomical timescale, we just came into existence and are likely to be just about to vanish. Lets just make sure to fully appreciate the moment as long as it lasts.
I'm afraid the basis of your analysis is fatally flawed, the evidence suggests we have been "making contact" back and forth for thousands of years, you think the fantastical tales of mythical creatures and Gods was some elaborate mushroom trip? This simply cannot fully account for the way words like Demon were created which in Latin means, "warn away from" you think men formed our entire society around keeping these warnings alive for thousands of years, century after century, for all this time!? Think about the ridiculousness of that, those men saw something that completely altered their perspective on the nature of society itself and enacted a multiple millennial plan to get word to us in the modern age that these creatures brought nothing but pain and suffering down upon them, they poured all their lives work into getting the let out in such a way no one ever thought of before or since! That's too much dedication not to heed their warnings.
It happened, we met them before, it went... Poorly on every occasion. So I wear the mantle of the people who no longer speak with us, who left us only subtle clues, because there's going to be a reveal soon, and Humanity has the right to know if they've been played and we have a moral obligation to pursue restitution of the highest for the atrocities left in their wake!
Of course, this may never bear fruit, but it's gotta be the main reason why they haven't invited us into the Fold yet, Imagine having to explain to hundreds of other societies that you interfered with a developing world and altered their entire societal model because you were so bad at it that thousands of years later they still want a piece of your A$$! We'll likely be boycotted and further oppressed by any such Federations just so they don't have to have their dirty laundry put on display, the moment they set foot on our world, was the day they effectively wiped out our species, we never had a choice because of them, I want justice for my Planet!
at least out of all the comments there is someone who actually gets it . congratulation to you! and as terrifying as it is most likely with all the evidence we have at this time, and knowing how amazing the fact of life becoming from a chemical broth...and the stretch of time we have to be ok with 1: not knowing ,and 2: excepting that more likely then not we are alone!
means that this is just a wonderful moment in time meant to be enjoyed!
They Shadowbanned hypothetical beings from space negative talk about their theoretical motivations, what's that tell ya huh!? I gotta be nice to some mythological being from the stars!? Make that make sense hmm!? You not telling us something!?
@@amoremorte3330333and if that is all there is, then all is in vain.
100% i really wish people understood the percentages of chance and how much time has passed exclusively to earth. I don’t think our brains really conceive of the number 1 million. Let alone 4 billion years and this planet has to be perfect for 4 billion years to only begin life at the very very tail end of that. Remarkable. It’s certainly not impossible others exist, as we do exist. It is still insanely unlikely we ever make contact. Intelligence isn’t always the most adaptable. Billions of creatures are alive just as we are, yet we are the only ones to get off the rock.
I love space so much dude
Imagine thinking "space" is real...pffft.
Awesome commentary, extremely thought provoking. I have heard a lot of the arguments and theories before but to have them presented together in a well thought out progression was very helpful. Thanks for your hard work, well worth listening to the whole way through, look forward to further content.
“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”
― Arthur C. Clarke
"We are the first instance or the last vestige of Life in the universe." -me
@@Vicus_of_Utrecht in such a claim it is most likely the first since in the grand scheme of things the universe is still in its infancy. The eventual heat death of the universe is predicted to take place trillions of years from now.
Let's presume this to be correct. Then the scary scenario exists that we have to carry the torch of consciousness out into the vast expanse or it will (most likely) die out with a wimper.
More likely “our galaxy”. There will be life elsewhere in the universe but sheer distances mean we can never meet. Not to mention the temporal issue. We are here before or after they were there.
I don't understand why some people think it would be "terrifying" if we learn one day that we are truly alone in the universe.
@joesands8860 Think about the infinite vastness of space. If we are the only intelligent life in all that, that is a horrifying prospect. When we go, space would be completely void of life. Just meaningless, endless nothingness.
Koalas should have copied our brain wrinkles instead of our fingerprints.
How much eucalyptus would they need to feed a human brain?
Yeah, thats how you get Drop Bears 😂
Do you guys think aliens would prefer Pepsi or Coca Cola?
Shasta
Faygo
R.C Cola I'm sure
They are alien afterall
They would spit out both.
I'll quote somebody else "when you walk close to an an anthill, do you stop and try to communicate with the ants!? Do you exchange knowledge and technology with them, or do step on a few and be on your way!" This will most likely be the outcome of discovering aliens, we have this weird thing where we projecting human traits onto non-human organisms, what we consider "aliens" might have a totally different agenda than we could ever imagine...
Brilliant analogy 👏🏻
Would you step on or walk over a dog or a kangaroo or koalas...I think at the very least an ant who has made a nuclear bomb, watches sport and imagines movies and literature will at least be studied as smart humans study ants
The analogy relies on thinking about how a human would behave around ants and calls it the most likely outcome, then dismisses all other outcomes by claiming that we are projecting human traits onto non human organisms.
????
@@Magistrate17 the analogy flew over your head faster than a F15...
How would you know that that's what would happen tho? Saying for sure that that's what would happen is just ignorant and lazy. Ants don't have advanced tech. We do. Ants don't cultivate crop and animals for mass consumption. We do. Ants don't have the world wide web. Who does tho? Humans. Hell humans have left the planet. We do more than Ants, were the dominate species, not Ants. Such a lazy and frankly stupid analogy.
thank you for the incredible work you do

The work you, SEA, Cool Worlds, History of Universe/Earth, Sci Show do carries in what Carl Sagan did, & this brings me great joy! Thank you ❤️
Fabulous! Wonderful end-to-end summary of everything to do with this subject. Love to see more of this.
As always, informative and beautiful. I almost shed a tear towards the end. How can so many people still want to cause suffering by being so violent instead of working together to form a more perfect union? If only there was a way to skip ahead to the part in our existence where we are part of the Galactic Union and living the dream!
Great Job Alex! You actually made me feel less certain that meeting other intelligent life is unlikely and I appreciate that.
I like the long format.
Outstanding! Many thanks for the long form today, needed something to listen to while getting chores done and getting to learn stuff while I do it makes it win win! I will gladly watch more of these.
Okay.... This was way more info than I was expecting..... And I absolutely love it!
This is what I've been looking for thank you!
Thank you for your work!!! Such amazing neutrality and conciseness when it comes to your explanations. It's a goldmine for people looking to understand the Universe better.
Amazing video. I just recently discovered your channel and you've already hit the top of the list. Looking forward for everything to come as I make my way through your older videos.
Yay popcorn time! thank you Alex ;)
Don’t eat microwave popcorn. The heat causes the plastic lining in the bag to contaminate the popcorn with a carcinogenic chemical.
The title is wrong though 😢
@@johndc2998😂Man up
this is by far one of the most interesting videos i have ever watched on you tube. THANK YOU.
I really loved this documentation! Very carefully edited and extremely informative while also being very entertaining. My new favorite documentary! Thanks a lot for this masterpiece!
This was excellent! It gave the pros and cons of every aspect of "life". Thank you very much for this incredibly thought provoking video!
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.
My favorite thing about that scale is that we aren't even a type 1 civilization so imagine how many other planets never make it past where we are
I love to hear from your podcast! You've got yourself a new listener! :D Thanks for the free content here
Thanks for providing this. It's not often when one can find this level of thought in this medium.
omg I LOVE YOU! Going to sleep and just checked out your channel as I normally do, AND I FOUND THIS GEM!!! Love you
Nice long-format video! Well done! I've loved your channel fore years and now will search out your podcast!
I absolutely love the long form content. Keep it coming!
The first time I have come across ur channel. I found this documentary genuinely fascinating and really informative. Thanks man! Will defo be watching again. First time I've seen the Drake equation be calculated 2. Amazing. I'm definitely on the optimistic side of that!
Bravo Alex! This is definitely one of the best, if not the best video covering this fascinating topic. I love your content and hope you will continue to provide us with these outstanding investigations and commentaries. Here's wishing you continued success moving forward.
We would be happy with bacteria. It would whisper of more to find....
We most seek life, though, that will "respond" to us. That is our... heart's desire.
Thank you for this message, and including the part on aliens. I listened all the way through, when I did not intend to, originally. It was very well done.
Are you kidding me who thinks we alone .. Impossible..the host of heaven are Innumerable..
We Humans are NOT ALONE in the Cosmos! There are intelligent Cetaceans, Elephants , apes and Cephalopods here with us. Also we can use genetic engineering to create intersting sexy, loving aliens for the moon, Mars, and Venus. Some of the greatest romances in literature have been with Ets. John and Dejah, jake and Natiri and a bazillion others.
10:00 In a low gravity environment, it would also be advantageous to grow wider and stouter than others grow, in order to make for easy feeding: Just bowl over however much of whichever ones you want to eat. And, if they're tall, thin animals rather than tall, thin trees, then it makes feeding even more so simple, and much less risky. Just bowl over the animals, crippling them, and then return to chow on them at your leisure...lol...
😀
Amazing compliation and something i'll be using in future to show to people in as roundup in as much detail on the subject without taking a degree in it 😄, well done and thank you 👽💗
You had me at: About Life Beyond Earth. I enjoy your content very much. I share what I can synthesize with my sons, aged 7 and 5. Keep up the good energy!
I took my nieces through both Cosmos series after the oldest got interested in the book version by Carl Sagan I had on the shelves. They absolutely loved them and are 6 and 11.
the sentence "form follows function" make so much sense ! thank you so much for this video
Astonishing work, came to listen to one subject got to see beautiful video with a ton of information about so many things
"Do aliens exist? Do they look like us?" Well, visit any New York City subway, and the answer becomes clear instantly.
Note on the lack of a dynamo for a magnetic field:
Tidally locked planets are not without rotation. They do in fact rotate because there would be a night/day cycle based on theplamet's yearly orbit. Tiddal locking is not due to rotation ceasing, but by the rotation matching the orbit around the star. Additionally, due to the close in orbits of a tidally locked planet, its year would be much shorter than our Earth year, potentially only a couple weeks or even a few days.
Would this be enough of a dynamo for some, all be it weaker, magnetic field?
Great explanation. It is one of the most common misconceptions that people have about tidal locking. Like most people think far side of the moon or the misnomer "dark side" of the moon is not at all lit by sun. But that is not true. Moon just rotates at the rate at which it revolvves around Earth.
I did fall asleep alien story telling is a big win ... ..I am grateful for you sharing this entertaining experience
Minor correction at 11:18, desert animals have a higher surface area to body mass ratio
Isn't it the other way around to reduce the surface area an therefore reduce evaporation?
We will bring them democracy

MY LIFE FOR SUPER EARTH!
Best alien video ever! Thanks for creating such amazing content 👏
This is one of the best videos ever uploaded to CZcams.
Even if the galaxy is bursting with planets full of life, we are still alone and we’ll be alone probably forever. Distances in between these worlds are just too immense….
Luckily there’s still a lot not understood about fundamental physics, and it’s easy to underestimate the possible advances in our future.
Agreed. There doesn't seem to be any viable means of traversing interstellar distances, even in theory. We are therefore essentially isolated, and alone.
yes but if/when we reach 5% the speed of light , that means our (robotic) ships can investigate all planets in the milky way in less then 100 million years while that's an enormous amount of time just realize the milky way is roughly 100 times older.
OP is correct, just like we'll never colonize Mars. The reason we exist is because the Earth is a self sustained ecosystem, without it we eventually die. Not to mention humans are more interested in war, we'll destroy ourselves long before ever exploring another solar system....LONG before.

Such a great video, thank you for making my day better!
One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I for one welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted CZcams personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.
Well, this CZcamsr was possibly a little hasty earlier he’d like to reaffirm his allegiance to this planet and its human leaders. They may not be perfect but it’s still the best governments we have.
For now.
😅😅😅
Remember or read a book called communion and you respect for this planets insect kingdom our scientist call a genus I call genius. I really believe a mosquito is as wise Albert Einstein or Wiser for the insect knew to split an atom as a weapon to hurt the natural world is the apitamy if inferior way and that book called communion with as much live as him you will see.
The CIA and scientists glue cameras and electronics to steal and betray another sight and embodiment, can you see what else they di they don't want you to believe the do do and hope we don't go the way if the doe doe.
Traitor
The ants are biological investigators and archivists. Get ready for universal vivisection.
Hey Alex, at 7:51 you say photosynthesis has evolved dozens of times, but my understanding is that it occurred only once. Theres convergence in the carbon concentration mechanisms and a bit of debate re oxygenic vs anoxygenic but even there it looks like there's a shared origin or at least co-evolution muddled with horizontal gene transfer, which still isn't de novo convergent evolution.
Either way, I absolutely love the content so please keep it coming!

*This man is the David Attenborough of space!*
Someone give him an Oscar!! Really enjoying the vid.
Great vid!! I found myself nodding in agreement a lot!! However.. consider that galaxies merge regularly and yet there are likely *no*star collisions at all; it’s the infernal *distance that will keep us permanently isolated; us from “them” and them from us
Absolutely great doc/analysis of "Aliens" issue. Well balanced, logically structured, without annoying sensationalism. Love it! Will share on X!
In addition to the celestial mechanics mentioned as factors that may be requisites for life--a habitable distance from a stable star, within a protective magneto-sphere--we should probably add:
* the near-ideal periodicity of orbit and rotation--length of years and days;
* our orbital eccentricity, nearly circular, not extremely elliptical;
* orbital obliquity--our 24-degree tilt of planetary axis;
* plate tectonics, preventing atmospheric or evolutionary stasis;
* fractions of elemental carbon, oxygen, phosphorus, nitrogen, iron, sodium, calcium, potassium, zinc, silica, magnesium and, of course, water;
* a single, hefty moon, to induce tidal cycles that oxygenate the seas, humidify the air and regularize circulation between thermal and mineral concentrates;
* weather that circulates the atmosphere and erodes topography, again defying stasis, distributing isostatic compression and rebound, and correcting derangements of temperature & turbulence toward terrestrial equipoise.
Then there are nearly endless contingencies that retrospectively seem necessary for complex intelligence to emerge:
* An abiogenic event that birthed a first ancestor of all vital beings, with a double-facing hydrophillic/hydrophobic lipid membrane capable of cell individuation from hostile externalities, and an exchange of nutrients and waste for internal metabolism, and a mode of reproduction that consequently launched an enduring germ-line for every species for the following 4,000,000,000 years,
* cell nuclear complexity (the eukaryota),
* RNA, DNA or a similar molecule for highly condensed archiving of reproductive information,
* random assortment of genes in meiosis,
* sexual reassortment of parental alleleic sequences,
* photosynthetic potential,
* endothermy and oxygen for optimal metabolism and energy expenditure,
* motility with jawed skeletal, sufficient circulatory and neuromuscular anatomy for intentional directionality, sensation, perception and prey/predator dynamism,
* something like fungal species to recycle environmental nutrients,
* a robust dynamic like natural selection for best-adapted phenotypes and their default proliferation constantly refining vigorous genotypes,
* omnivory, bipedality & dexterity, and neoteny balanced by mortality & longevity,
* consciousness, cognition and sentient volition,
an inextinguishable reflex for survival, reciprocal regard of conspecifics, loyalty to kith & devotion to kin,
* a number sense, innate geometric form recognition, pulse, tone interval and metric patterns for generating lyrical sounds of music,
* concepts of ciphers, zero, triangulation, symmetry and proportion,
* capacity for imagined projectile trajectories, navigation of gravity, leverage, rotary motion, inclines, pulleys and cantilevers,
* gymnastic tumbling, running, swimming and brachiation,
* intellectual inquiry, experimentation, productive skepticism,
* valence of logic, access to deduction & induction, intuition & counter-intuition,
* a sense of play, creativity, exploration, discovery and invention,
* anatomy & social compulsion for syntactical language, noun/verb/object world apprehension, metaphorical schemata, poetic generativity, fictional drama and story-telling,
* writing systems for consensus proclamations and extra-somatic archives of civilization,
* notions of wonder, truth, beauty, art, initiative, fairness, transgression, cruelty, transcendence, magnanimity and the sublime,
* memory and the appreciation and veneration of ancestry,
* empathy, love, social ethics, integrity of character, self-sufficiency & cooperation, individuality and culturally defined virtue,
* arc of life achievement, shared resources & future anticipation of progeny, legacies and an ancient vestigial impulse to make one's mark on civilization, and leave a better world than the one that greeted us.
In other words, anyone who cultivates a cavalier certainty of life on other planets hasn't understood the forbidding threshold of life's requisite circumstances. And I think they have particularly neglected the above requirements whose absence would make improbable a world permitting our own existence, and its web of complex, compound contingencies. That web of fortuities has hosted preposterously wonderful examples of humanity, like:
Sappho, Cyrus, Thucydides, Eratosthenes, Pythias, Arminius, Quintillian, Mencius, Viriathus, Lucretius, Tacitus, Hadrian, Zenobia, Hypatia, Boethius, Ibn Rusd, Frederick II, Ibn Sina, Hildegard, Al-Haithm, Alcuin, Casimir, Ibn Battuta, Leonardo, Kepler, Petrarch, Shakespeare, Bruegel & Bruegel, Jahan, Fibonacci, Bartolome, Dossi, Murasaki, Balboa, Rembrandt, Descartes, Bernini, Bellini, Velasquez, Purcell, Bolivar, Rameau, Bach, Levoisier, Kant, Euler, Powhaten, Lafayette, Tecumseh, Pushkin, Hokusai, Geronimo, Dumond, Volta, Montesquieu, Goya, Linnaeus, Ingres, Sacajawea, Tubman, Red Cloud, Crazy Horse, Byron, Lovelace, Mendelssohn, Mendelssohn & Mendelssohn, Saint-Saens, Darwin & Darwin, Borodin, Humboldt & Humboldt, Brahms, Koch, Soule, Ramanujan, Sargent, Pasteur, Dvorak, Husserl, Ravel, Ataturk, Joplin, Modigliani, Lili'uokalani, DuBois, Whitman, Zola, Hubble, Dewey, Cavafy, Bartok, Melville, Vavilov, Sibelius, Curie, Maxwell, Woolf, Ramon Y Cajal, Marti, Sun Yat Sen, Wilde, Keller, Stein, Prokofieff, Bohr, Joyce, Mahler, Turing, Lemaître, Sanger, Bonhoeffer, Katchaturian, Chang, Cassin, Malek, Roosevelt, Anderson, Saroyan, Lorca, Barber, Gandhi, Trilling, Berlin, Ginastera, Boulanger, Tagore, Renoir, Renoir & Renoir, Forster, Akhmatova, Wittgenstein, Luxembourg, Elgar, Gropius, Puccini, Gershwin, Beckstein, Atlee, Brecht, Salk, Perkins, Faulkner, Armstrong, Kollwitz, Saarinen, de Beauvoir, Nabokov, Garbo, Crick, Franklin, Liuzzo, Carson, Vargas Llosa, Bishop, Meir, Biko, Sontag, Henze, Garcia Marquez, Simone, Lessing, Bhutto, Ashrawi, Calder, Alvarez & Alvarez, Folkman, Pamuk, Bischoff, Callas, Chomskey, Gorbachev, Tutu, Goodall, Fairuz, Chatergee, Merkel, Mantel and Ardern.
That is the smallest, glancing fraction of all the powerful but humble humans of blistering intelligence and surpassing conviction, historical characters of geared comprehension of the world and deeply plumbed self-knowledge. They typified our profoundly emotional yet stubbornly rational encephalons; an entity of intentional, self-propelled understanding that can emerge only in social obligates who maximize neoteny and the generational accumulation of knowledge, who manage to keep aggression and arrogance less destructive than incurious ignorance, and who insist on empathy over selfishness, justice over rage, equanimity over cruelty and nobility of sapient agency over self-indulgent isolation, to steward the sustained vigor of our garden planet and cherish the fortune of our evolutionary endowment.
Those sorts of creatures don't pop up everywhere; in fact, they are probably occupying the one cosmic circumstance they seem least prepared to accept: A lone existence on the distant shores of the only world that ever countenanced animated vitality and reasoned intentionality; moreover they are the only 8,000,000,000 bundles of such wonder that evolution produced in all of spacetime. I say stop tilting at exoplanets and revel in our singular, exuberant, self-determined lives.
Ooh I’m glad I came by this channel. Wonderful video, very well made!

There is one thought I rarely stumble upon when it comes to all those considerations about Types of Civilizations or possible Filters etc.
which is that all the scaling is based on our current incomplete understanding of Everything.
As of now the absence of such an advanced Alien Civilization might as well indicate that Progress happens in a different way.
Makes for a nice filter I believe

I find that the big wall that any civilization reach but can't pass really fascinating. An event that happens no matter what and destroys the civilisation.
But fantastic video, you're one of my favourite youtubers
First time watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
By my estimation, Skunk Works should have had a hypersonic 80,000ft altitude, 16 hour range drone operating for a few years. Possibly even a Mk 2 is flying. And many of the UAP sightings are of these aircraft leaving and returning from their test centers !
8:00 - - dog gives his paw to a person for a handshake 🐶🤝😁
Another great episode from Astrum 🎉🎉
Awesome commentary, extremely thought provoking Thank you.
This was absolutely amazing.
omg a astrum podcast tyvmmm!!
Alex...your voice and your delivery: Mesmerizing!!
Holy cow, this is really well done.
It's worth mentioning that there actually a few species of bacteria that do live and reproduce in environments entirely bereft of water. They are the most extreme of the extreme found in natural asphalt, tar pits and heavy oil. Most microbes that live in oil deposits still need tiny amounts of water that's present but their tarpit relatives discovered in California recently live in environments totally bereft of water. They seem to use the hydrocarbons and what oxygen is available locked up in other compounds to produce any of the water they use in their internal chemistry.
They also are extremely long lived and slow with some spending their lives on a timescale longer than most plants.
Thanks for putting in this hard work Alex, great video
Last night my night sky was immensely enjoyable. I could perceive at least a hundred stars, plus the ISS, & a couple planets, for sure one 😊. I love the outer space realm. I wonder if people on the ISS consider their sleeping positions comfortable 🤔. Thanks for the upload 🙂😊
"They are not building massive structures that might tip us off to their existence", he says, completely oblivious of the fact that megalithic construction has occurred throughout the world, and the best guess of who was involved in that construction has got to be some aspect of the NHI currently interacting with humanity. We've been "tipped".
I love that you added “sentient rock monsters”!
I really loved the video!!!❤❤❤❤ tysm
1:39:34 Throwing shade at each other through the void…😂🤣😂🤣 I can see us now, we are having a back and forth battle of “Yo Mama” jokes with some extraterrestrial intelligence light years away.
*You and history of the universe are top dawgs on yt*
And fall of civilizations 💕
True that red dwarfs provide "our" problems for life, but one of the constituents for creating life is "distillation" occurring . This would be something that is super far beyond what could happen around a red dwarf, along with the constant of "time". This process over time, that includes a tidal lock is even more pronounced. Also, heat can be generated in a planet specifically from gravity forces internally, which gives these aspects over time better odds at life being created and sustaining. We also have a negative bias here on earth, because when one type of life begins, it may destruct all other promise of a different start to a different type of life. We do know so little. Gr8!
