  • Are we alone in the universe? Even if we could contact aliens, what would we say? How would we say it? And, most importantly, should we even be trying to make contact at all? This episode takes me on a journey to compose and send my own personal message into outer space.

    This is my favorite Midfield episode. There was a lot of talk about interacting with other life forms and the universe as a whole, but the main takeaway for me was the interactions between humans. In all its beauty and complexity is what I hope our relationship with any other beings can and will be.

    • @ethandile7668
      @ethandile7668 Před rokem +1

      Well I can tell you from experience that's not gonna happen , humans are not an inviting species or very open minded . Everytime I take the time to try to understand these humans they prove to me how humans are naturally Bashful backward Bigots , there's nothing complex to you no offense but you dont even have a redundant nervous system ,your a monkey that decided it was the center of the universe on our planet . First contact happened a long time ago we live amoung you that's been said and done for 100s of years , you want our relationships to be beautiful( which primitive racist @$$ thought btw , just bc you aren't capable of of it doesn't mean we aren't ) then maybe humans should have a care . Maybe they should treat each others as equals bc you have no idea how many of us you talk to every day and you have no idea how many you treat like garbage . My father came to this world To hunt And eat humans bc they seem to enjoy fear and conflict and hatred ,they were seen as backward primates , and humans still to this day haven't changed . There's nothing beautiful about your race , your the most backward volient repulsive monkeys I have ever met , every aspect of your society is flawed in every way , there nothing complex to it your apes who still think this is your planet . Your monkeys who solve problems by creating more problems , you prefer your poverty and sickness and mud over the stars . To tell you the truth you meet us everyday , and everyday you refuse to be better , you want contact , you want a relationship with other species then try . All I see is that you refuse to accept us bc you won't even accept each other so no what you want to happen won't bc no human has put in effect diplomatically since Jesus and even he wasn't a human .. and humans still think there alone for some reason IDk why maybe it's a Coping thing maybe it's bc You think everything revolves around you , your race is very young and You inflict constant self harm on each other for no other benefit then to suffer together .Idk why honestly, humans are very stupid , like 4 instance you consider an IQ of 250 to be Intelligent? Like this isn't even your original Planet but you treat it like it's yours . Your the most dismissive barley sentient , barley space faring Species in existence, only good 4 Hunting , only good 4 fear ...

      Also don't forget that we might not have even sent a message to any aliens yet, unlike a device on earth such as a cell phone, these transmissions are directional/line of sight, imagine you live on some very distant planet and don't even know earth exists, well sending a message to earth would be like trying to randomly shine a laser pointer around in space until it just so happens to pass by our planet, meaning if you're off by something tiny, then the message could pass right by us and on top of that our planet is constantly revolving around the sun, so even if we did get a reply it's entirely possible that we could be on the other side of the sun and it blocks the message.

  • @LePetitVingtieme1
    @LePetitVingtieme1 Před rokem +24

    This is by far my favorite episode.
    A few thoughts:
    Though sending messages into space in the hopes of reaching extraterrestrials and starting further communication may be secondary to the thought experiment about what it is that we would like to communicate about ourselves and how we would communicate and although humanity has emitted signals into space since well before we were aware of what we were doing, it’s true that in human history, civilizations, people groups, and empires that have encountered an “other” who lacks equivalent technological advancements have treated those without the same level of advancement horrifically a majority of the time and en masse. Unfortunately, that does not speak well of humanity, at least yet. We are still writing our own story and we cannot change the past, but we can show our capacity for reform and change the narrative.
    I also want to acknowledge that though the experiment run with Steve Vance from JPL and the experts in various fields was interesting and is probably about the best means of experiment we could realistically run at this time, I am not convinced that people or other beings encountering a message that is randomized would not attempt to read some meaning into it OR that a message that humans send to space would not be misinterpreted or have meanings added to it if another group of beings were to run across it.
    I don’t know that this is not dangerous but given that we have already sent out messages for a reasonable amount of time and given the scale of the universe and how relatively short of a distance those messages have gone as compared to the size of the observable universe, unless we horribly misunderstand the limitations of transportation speed through space (this is not impossible), it would still take any other being living near another star in inordinately long amount of time to travel here given that they are able to reach the greatest known speed possible to travel through space.
    This episode raised a ton of questions about what it means to be human and alive on this planet, in our tiny corner of the universe. I hope that thinking about these things and just how small we are in the scheme of things helps us to put our petty qualms with each other aside and to think with humanity’s legacy and our story and how we would like it to be in mind.

      only one "thing" I have to comment on. when you said "I don't know that this is not dangerous" you are letting bias come into play. You don't know what is unkown but your sub consios forms an opion on it. If you don't know what is uknown then why are you saying that the universe might not be dauengerus. Sure, there is a chance. but how do we really know that. Chance is only posible becuase of math and math i flawed. not everything has a mathmatical explistnation. so there fore chance might be wrong. So is the universe dangureos?

    Wow! Michael! A few years ago, I wrote a novel about the last few living humans, slowly dying on Mars. When the last human on Earth died, they decided to eulogize the species by broadcasting their stories into space. Because those radio waves will travel across the universe essentially forever. The point wasn't that someone was listening, but that this was the closest they could get to forever--a grave marker in a churchyard nobody will ever visit. What a beautiful thing you did to honor your grandmother.

    a grandsons or granddaughters love for their grandparents is something that is thicker than anything thick, my foster grandparents especially my grandfather when i came to my fosterparents he took me under his wing from the moment i first came to them, he teached me so many things and he made sure i had a good childhood and that i did.
    despite his problems with his health he was always working with charity for lhl and selling lottery tickets so people could win a wreath cake, i and him were always up to something either if it was taking a walk around the town or being at a café talking and eating good food and desserts or relaxing at home watching something on the tv or him telling stories from the war and his childhood and younger days.
    he teached me kindness, charity, he made me the man i am today, i am soon uncle to 9 children and he got to be there for my oldest niece and she remembers him.
    i am proud to call myself a grandson of nidolf and may he live on either in another life or being one with time and space itself, he will never be forgotten.
