The thing that annoys me about the Viking detection is that the experiment was originally designed to release the left handed and the right handed isomers of the labeled sugar separately. If one reacted and the other didn't, as is the case on earth, life would be pretty much confirmed but no NASA decided that to save weight they would mix the two thus completely sabotaging the result.
Not to mention in the process sparking off 4 decades of debate as to whether there was a detection without sending a proper followup experiment to settle the matter.

I'm personally convinced that there is almost certainly life on Europa. And that most life in the universe is probably on Moons both ice shell and terrestrial like. It's kinda crazy to think that most life in the Universe might be trapped under ice and have no idea that anything beyond their ocean exists.

@MrAubery Okay, Jeranism-wannabe. Flat earth is a joke. Thankfully for the movement, it still has conspiracies and scientific illiteracy to depend on to gain followers.
I too was raised on Arthur C. Clark and Asimov and the lot. I flew to great places with them, but more importantly, I grew an even greater respect for the scientific principle, reason, and logic. Now, at 72, I wonder at the world I've traversed over time and marvel at the moments or junctures at which my timeline might have been changed. I puzzle over the nature of time with events far flung temporally feeling like they happened only recently. Certainly, time is subjective and I get that, but it's incredible to view the world with a 72 year yardstick. In some senses it's not unlike swirling down the bathroom drain. (BTW, bought 3 of your books, JMG. I'm looking forward to them; thank you.)
My kids love watching the water journey down the drain. It’s one of our daily science touch-points. “Look, Daddy, it’s a vortex! Enjoy your trip to the ocean!! I hope you have a nice life!!!”
Not gonna lie. When you mentioned the Vikings, for a nanosecond, my mind immediately defaulted to, well, *our* vikings, and I thought, "Are you kidding? They found ALIEN LIFE first too? Man, those guys were busy!" ...I'm running on not a lot of sleep right now.
The WOW signal is perfect. Earth traveled through it at over 500,000 MPH. Earth's movement caused a Doppler effect, thus the signal wasn't the perfect 1420htz that they expected it was off slightly. Also because of how fast we travel through space it is impossible to monitor the same point in space (Everything we know of is in motion). They think the signal came from an area between 40,000 and 60,000 light years away due to the cluster of stars the Big Ear was aimed at at the time of receiving the signal. It's more likely that the signal is far older and came from an almost unimaginable distance away but that star cluster just happened to align with Earth and the signal. This makes perfect sense, we're never going to be able to receive repeating signals from space. Space is just too vast.
right and the idea of contact at that distance is irrelevant - the sender of that message is long since gone as would we be by the time their reply to ours arrived. i think alien "persons" are absolutely out there - CERTAINLY more likely than spacecraft-wielding earth society lasting another 80,000 to 120,000 years and remaining equipped for that conversation
The Solar System is travelling at ~220km/s (~500000mph), but toward galactic longitude l=+90, while the signal came from Sagittarius that is at l=9 b=-15, so respect that source there is just the 30km/s of the Earth revolution around the Sun. The Galactic center is at ~8kpc=26000lyr. If the source of the signal is at 40,000lyr, then it is located 10500lyr (3kpc) below the Galactic plane, far away from star clusters, except globular clusters, but there are any of them there.
@@jethropeters4686 kpc = kiloparsecs. One kiloparsec is 1000 parsecs and one parsec is 3.26 light-years. A light-year is the measurement of distance traveled by light in one standard Terran (or Julian) year, so 365 days.
Congrats for now having 100X as many subscribers than you had when you made this video. It’s well deserved. I love your videos- really high quality content.
Really grateful to have found your channel, John. You present really good cases and not wild conspiracy theories. Congratulations on 3k subs, it's only going to go bigger from here. Your videos are awesome! Cheers!
If aliens wanted to communicate over vast distances I think quantum nonlocality signaling (can't use entanglement for transmitting data) would be the tip of the iceberg , which we are a long way from. I just can't buy using radio though. That would be like trying to comment on RUclips using smoke signals.
It depends what you want to communicate with. To flip the analogy, if you want to communicate with (or just tease your existence to) lesser species, using your advanced communication tools on us would be so far beyond us...it would be like using RUclips comments to reach people who only know smoke signals.
yes and what Alien gona talk with as, they mach older smarter bat we have sameone to look as or we are yust in like reservation or BB .Where are others, that is mistery
As a (retired) evolutionary biologist, epistemologist, and former astrophysics student, with a strong interest in exobiology, I'm always searching for solid, well-grounded science videos on youtube, and this is one. I just discovered your channel, and I'm very happy that I did, as I enjoyed this particular video very much. I corresponded for a bit with Gil Levin, in the late 1980s, and I very strongly suspect that the Viking landers did indeed detect life on Mars. Experiments similar to, the LR and gas spectrometer, but much more sensitive and sophisticated, should be included in a future mission designed to sample soil from the surface through several centimeters to perhaps half a meter below the surface layer. With regard to the WOW! signal, one possibility for it had been the presence, in 1977, of two comets that were in the vicinity of the signal's apparent origin, that might possibly caused a similar signal on that frequency. Those comets were due to return to that area of the sky, although not simultaneously, in the past couple of years. The signal wasn't repeated, which presumably rules out that natural cause. I think that the idea that inhabited subsurface oceans on natural satellites is an exciting possibility, and is certainly high on the agendas of NASA, the ESA, and the Russian program. In any event, thank you for this very entertaining piece of work.
@@dnlcast2its funny because this kind of stuff comes from the same people that talk of a magical entity from another realm that has 0 tangible proof as if its fact, while saying eveolution cant possibly be real despite us having a moslty complete puzzle. The theory with the least assumptions is usually the answer.
Celebrating your 3k subs, wow. One of the characteristics i admire about you, is how truly humble you are regardless of channel size. You haven't lost your enthusiasm nor how you approach your subscribers with mutual respect.
It's still me, I haven't changed and won't. What really humbles me though is that this content helps people in ways I didn't imagine. I just thought I was trying to explain science and speculation and what might be. What I didn't realize is that it would help people suffering insomnia and depression. That's when I said to myself "Eh, this is bigger than you, do it right stupid" and that's what I'm striving to do. I can't think of anything more worthwhile than what I'm doing as a result.
Who says Von Neumann probes cant be microscopic? Even we can build machines at the molecular level, a million year old species could perfect that technology. We could be surrounded by probes right now.
Callum Anderson Yeah SETI really needs to re-evaluate its stance on the UFO phenomenon since the Nimitz incident was declassified. While its perhaps unlikely that UFOs are Van Neumann probes, the possibility is distinctly there, and an unidentified object being able to outmaneuver fighter jets with ease does deserve an eyebrow raise at the very least
@0:06 - congratulations on the channel reaching 3K Sub’s. I’m over here like a delayed constant 3 years later catching up on these amazing videos & now JMG’s channel has cleared 300K subs!! Awesome work! Your work is timeless! ( love the closing comments!!!).
I am thrilled to see that your channel has grown from 3K subscribers in March of 2017 to 158K on Independence Day (US holiday) 2019! That is absolutely wonderful and as someone who thoroughly enjoys your work, I am not the least bit surprised and quite expect continued growth. As for this video specifically, very interesting list with a lot of detail given for each item. Great work. :)
Wow. 0:05 I’m watching this video at a time it’s had upwards of 1.6M views, and when recorded you were grateful for 3K subscribers. You’re amazing, John.
Heh, when I started all this I expected may be a couple hundred views or something on a video. Tops. Maybe 300 subscribers. I may have underestimated :)
I think the failure of NASA to follow up the Viking tests on later missions (eg repeat the LR test with left, then right, handed molecules) is an epic mistake. It's as if they concluded that chemical testing for life was too academically challenging for them, and so just decided to look for water then scream' COULD MEAN LIFE' whenever they saw it.
Rob Henry Well if you remember, NASA lost funding during various presidencies. As a result, their scope was focused more onto what we have today: A blend of orbiting research facilt(ies), probes, and "little" area/volume scanners.
Competence doesnt require funding. When you bungle basic experiments thus wasting the funding, guess what happens next... And the guy who decided to mix the LR payloads into one should be forever posted in alaska in search of fungi spores. This is what lost em further funding, enter the new project 'in search of water (enjoy the downgraded level of trust to run anything more complex) If it wasnt for ESA, NASA would still be having trouble with that, so NASA is either full of incompetent theorists or effective saboteurs. Im betting both.
You dumbasses actually think that's all they look for, water? They look at the general conditions of planets, whether or not they could possibly have water on them. Water is also a pretty good strategy to look for organisms that us humans would recognize as life as we know it. The search for alien life is so unlikely it's more possible for us to go extinct before we find even a signal. If you think you're more competent than acclaimed NASA theorists then why aren't you one? Lol a bunch of snobby idiots who think they have the IQ of a Rick and Morty fan.
@@omgz8876 Well, saboteurs are an interesting possibility... What would be their motive? And I'm not being cynical. In all seriousness, what could be their motive? On the other hand, what are the chances that such a project has incompetent idiots bungling such an important mission? Ok, accidents do happen, but accidents in such professional environments should be scarce and flat-distributed, statistically speaking. For example, what are the chances of such negligence or clumsiness happening during the opening of Chinese Olympics? Corporate logistics? Military or rescue operation? I don't want to assume but this is definitely testable and verifiable within a reasonable degree of accuracy. What I'm saying is that there must be a way to calculate the odds that could hint whether such a botch is more likely to be a sabotage or just an accident, considering all comparable human endeavors with comparable logistics, level of expertise, scope and budget.
John Michael Godier yeah, it's pretty awesome to see it grow, I can tell you put forth effort into your videos that's why I stuck around. Keep it up John the universe is a mysterious place ☀️🌏
So the risk window has closed and no one can go lunar? I agree with you that it will be risky. Deliver me unto the risk takers! Deliver me the moon...even if by Amazon!
Your channel is awesome and is an inspiration to mine that FINALLY comes out next week. Years in, and I and many others are still here. Thanks for always providing awesome content.
I remember seti saying we would likely find evidence of extra terrestrial life in the next 20 years , 20 years ago. It's how they keep the funds going.
To be fair, most of the known exoplanets were discovered in that time period. Not radio signals carrying alien pop songs, granted, nor by SETI, but still significant scientific progress on yea or nay to exolife, and to exosentience. The question might be, what's the best way to investigate the questions, and is that by radio?
Jim Baker , Have to agree with Bone Doc as it seems a requirement to get science to even speak the word alien it’s always deep in our future. Almost like they’re purposely trying to not frighten anyone.
I don’t like seeing SETI talking about geology on another planet when there primary task and really there only task is to Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence!!
according to one of my biology proffs, microbe are present in our own atmosphere, and account for much of seeding that forms the water droplets in clouds. which would be very good for microbes in Venutian clouds.
Watching John Michael's video is awesome Waiting a year and going back and rewatching the videos again is still a treat and I look forward to watching them again and again
hmmm, if we don't broadcast on the hydrogen band cos of SETI, maybe all the aliens have the same rule. So everyone is listening and hearing nothing cos no-ones saying hi.
rofl! That's an awesome but sad thought. Maybe we should broadcast once a month or year or something. Can you imagine if your right & the whole universe has been doing this for thousands of years & we decide to be the ones to break the silence & they ALL respond & then everyone realises what they've done & hears each other rofl would be TOO funny! gotta be a novel or movie in that!
I think what he meant was that we don't broadcast on that band for our everyday/commercial purposes. Pretty likely that we if we think of that as the universal hello we are gonna be saying hello because we're a bunch of lonely bastards.
As a scientist who in early days got the Nikola Tesla Society prestigious award for young scientists I had opportunity to directly study his writings/works at Belgrade museum. Truth about his "receiving radio signals from Mars (and Moon)" is much simpler and more important for the history of Science than guess-work on aliens: Before Tesla, radio-astronomy did not exist in any shape or form. Not even the radio (modulated EM signals), he invented it (despite Marconi's sneaky attempt to steal the glory). Interesting thing is WHAT Tesla decided to do once he invented the concept of the radio and had it working in the lab. He have not chosen simple target but built a very strong transmitter, wondering how would his invention perform in the vacuum of space and at astronomical distances. Before Marconi's "feeble" transmission over the Adriatic Sea, Tesla sent long wave radio signal modulated with his own voice toward the Moon and Mars. Not to "talk to aliens" but to see how would signal propagate over vast distances in vacuum and how/if it would (as he expected) reflect from the astronomical bodies. His notes on receiving and decoding reflections of his own signal, in the years to follow, were misinterpreted as him receiving something of alien origin. To better grasp why would Tesla first do something seemingly so "odd" instead of announcing his great invention of radio to the World, one must understand his scientific invention process, vastly different than "will it stick to the wall" of Edison. Tesla always deeply investigated science of his inventions before releasing them, he needed to have deeper understanding of what he found before being ready to let the World on it. Why is this important for the History of Science?- Because Tesla not only invented radio but also in the process did the first Radio Astronomy experiment/observation, founded the field of Radio Astronomy far earlier than the current history states.
More recent revisions to the Alcubierre drive bring the energy requirements down to much more reasonable levels. The big sticking point now is that it would require exotic matter that has negative mass. If that doesn't exist then it doesn't matter how little of it we need if we need any non-zero amount.
Exactly. However, it’s already hard enough to contain antimatter (with positive mass/energy), grabbing a hold of negative mass may be a little dicey(if it even exists).
im really glad you don't try to sell these ideas like some other channels do. you clearly state that they're not proven yet, but do a good job of explaining why people might take it as evidence edit: didn't know the Alcubierre drive was a thing. it's how the spaceship in Futurama works haha

I do like the vids you put out and you have a voice that is easy to listen to. I just became one of yours a few days ago pretty much like that and i want to say keep up with your style of vids cuz they are great.
They are, and that would be me... having observed life forms or ships possibly a half mile wide crawling all over the Lunar surface while this guy talks about microbial traces in fossils makes me wonder how we got this far. Go to BRUCE SEES ALL and see for yourselves!
For some reason the picture taken from the surface of Venus shown in the video has been blowing my mind for years. Even more so than any of the ones we have from Mars' surface. I don't really know why. They're all pictures of other planets and all are equally impressive but for whatever reason the Venus one always sends me in some sort of mini existential crisis haha. Maybe it's because Mars has been part of our science and our fiction for so long that Venus just seems more exotic to me at this point. Oh well, thank you for yet another amazing video.
A lot of videos on you tube, and heck even tv documentaries are full of fluff and repetition. Your videos are not, in fact if anything they may have the opposite problem. They are so chock full of fascinating, well stated information that’s it’s hard to digest and keep up with!! I have to watch a few times to get it all! That’s a good thing! Keep it up, I love the channel!
at first I thought "Oh great another top 10 alien bullshit", but this is actually very reasonable and I like that you give your (scientific) opinion! Very cool video
Working from a number of basic assumptions listed below one likely solution to the Fermi Paradox maybe as follows. (1) Since the advent of predation nature has expressed a preference for intelligence in predators and a relative lack of intelligence in prey animals. This is because predatory animals need to process far more information about their surroundings than the animals they prey upon do. (2) Nature has also expressed a pattern in the social structures of both predator and prey. For exsample prey animals tend to have highly developed social bonds between members of their own species. Gathering together in large groups for the benefits that come from "safety in numbers". Predators on the other hand tend to lead more solitary lives rarely interacting with members outside their immediate or extended family. This is because they are in competition for the same resources and view each other as a threat. Obviously there are exceptions to these rules and humanity is a prime exsample of a highly social predatory species. But perhaps we ARE the exception not the rule. It may well be very uncommon for intelligent life in the universe to possess the same sort of social requirements that we do. Instead the tendency might be to view other intelligences as nothing more than competition or perhaps even as a threat to their continued existence. A less pronounced exsample of this may be humanity itself. Atfer all our species has never known a time in which we were not in conflict with each other somewhere and for the very same reasons listed above.
John I love your videos. Enjoy them very much and have your book. At some point I’m really going to want an autographed photo but for right now I have another request. PLEASE take this the right way. It’s sometimes very hard for me to fall asleep and I’ve found playing your videos in the background either on My tv or phone soothes me right to sleep. I mean I’ve heard them all already and it’s mainly to relax me and get time to fall asleep. Mind you when I’m awake I still listen and enjoy much. Maybe it’s the monotonous voice or hearing what I know already in background whatever it is it helps. Is there a longer video or audio file of just you talking and not a back and forth interview longer than twenty minutes anywhere? An hour would be perfect or hell even longer. It’s an odd request and I really hope this is taken correctly. You are entertaining and knowledgeable and I’ve watched all you have I could find for my knowledge which is maybe why I feel comfortable falling asleep to you explaining stuff. My girlfriend also loves your videos cause they are so in depth. If there’s a long video you have somewhere please let me know. Xerotrek328@aol.com. Thanks
8:20 That was the best and most effecient verbal description of warp drive that I've ever heard. There was no need for visual aid or hand gesturing as most descriptors use when explaining it.
theresbob funny. But they actually pointed a probe at earth as an experiment to detect life using pure data and removing all assumpions. Life was found based on the data.
If ever it's the other way around, say aliens found us first, I hope they can talk to you first.😄 May your subs replicate! and 'eat'' the bogus science channels.😁
If they could reach us they probably have strong AI capable of parsing every bit of data humanity has ever produced. They would know about these kinds of people.
The whole thing about Dyson spheres or similar structures to me is the amount of resources it would take to build something like that. I mean come on you're talking something many many hundreds or thousands of times bigger than a death star. Any civilization capable of gathering just the raw materials for that endeavor would have already long ago been capable of interstellar flight, hence, able to generate massive amounts of energy. I can't imagine it would be worth the effort.
I suspect you're thinking of the SciFi misunderstanding of a Dyson's concept. Dyson did not describe a solid sphere, his "sphere" was a very large number of objects in solar orbits arranging themselves so each of them gets as much solar radiation as it can. This tends to be called a Dyson swarm nowadays. You'll notice can be built in the same way that a transcontinental road or rail system is ... one little useful step at a time. Our current technological and scientific level is sufficient to build this, but it would be very expensive to get started; something of the order of a World military budget or three. This doesn't mean that very large constructs are impossible; but realistically you generally need as least a power collecting Dyson swarm a a prerequisite. Interestingly, interstellar flight looks significantly more difficult than building solar power collectors within a Dyson swarm. One of the easier methods looks like using a few of these collectors to beam power to the spaceship (perhaps a light sail?) though slowing down at the other end is very "interesting".
exactly. a dyson sphere would be part of a wireframe with pv and similar mounted to it. very thin, possible to build but yeah it would require a huge amount of material and coordination and resources to position it. you're right; they're shown as a complete shell around a star which is a major lofty goal even for a spacefaring civilization that's commencing with shell construction. it's more likely to begin with a couple big pv banks orbiting the planet outside its line-of-sight with its star anyway
The way we've described "life" up into now has been kinda bizarre to me. I mean why is the definition so specific? Single celled bacteria in groups function as an intelligent group, with no brains, and no apparent singular goals, yet they function as if they have a plan or something! Maybe intelligence is just a function of how the patterns are organized? I mean I'm sure we'll find alien life *some* day, but it seems we need to do more research on what's possible here on Earth in the meantime before we'd be able to recognize an intelligent lifeform anywhere off earth, considering we've only been looking for single/multiple cell organisms to this point. Now consciousness, that's the weird one to consider. How do we know something has to be complex to be aware of itself?? Maybe this damn smartphone is aware, how the hell can we say for sure either way? Seems like the function and abilities of something is the important part, and for that, we can build artificial intelligence that sense and communicate whatever they want. The desire from the software to look for meaning in the world is purely up to us to program the algorithms. However aren't we just mimicking our own existence? Strange. If something senses and reacts to outside stimuli, then surely theres a sensation it feels? No clue, but a lot of irrelevant questions anyways.

They found water but what about food? Nothing can survive out there.
Ger Loke micro organisms survive just fine.
Also need electricity thou
Desim not true. You still need food. Plus there’s no water nowhere in space. Is so name the planet. GOD created us only
The WOW signal is perfect. Earth traveled through it at over 500,000 MPH. Earth's movement caused a Doppler effect, thus the signal wasn't the perfect 1420htz that they expected it was off slightly. Also because of how fast we travel through space it is impossible to monitor the same point in space (Everything we know of is in motion). They think the signal came from an area between 40,000 and 60,000 light years away due to the cluster of stars the Big Ear was aimed at at the time of receiving the signal. It's more likely that the signal is far older and came from an almost unimaginable distance away but that star cluster just happened to align with Earth and the signal. This makes perfect sense, we're never going to be able to receive repeating signals from space. Space is just too vast.
right and the idea of contact at that distance is irrelevant - the sender of that message is long since gone as would we be by the time their reply to ours arrived. i think alien "persons" are absolutely out there - CERTAINLY more likely than spacecraft-wielding earth society lasting another 80,000 to 120,000 years and remaining equipped for that conversation
The Solar System is travelling at ~220km/s (~500000mph), but toward galactic longitude l=+90, while the signal came from Sagittarius that is at l=9 b=-15, so respect that source there is just the 30km/s of the Earth revolution around the Sun.
The Galactic center is at ~8kpc=26000lyr. If the source of the signal is at 40,000lyr, then it is located 10500lyr (3kpc) below the Galactic plane, far away from star clusters, except globular clusters, but there are any of them there.
@@skz5k2 huh? What? 8kpc? Is that alien language? LOL
@@jethropeters4686 kpc = kiloparsecs. One kiloparsec is 1000 parsecs and one parsec is 3.26 light-years. A light-year is the measurement of distance traveled by light in one standard Terran (or Julian) year, so 365 days.
so where do you think it came from then? what far flung system might it have traveled from?

If aliens wanted to communicate over vast distances I think quantum nonlocality signaling (can't use entanglement for transmitting data) would be the tip of the iceberg , which we are a long way from. I just can't buy using radio though. That would be like trying to comment on RUclips using smoke signals.
Best analogy ever
It depends what you want to communicate with. To flip the analogy, if you want to communicate with (or just tease your existence to) lesser species, using your advanced communication tools on us would be so far beyond us...it would be like using RUclips comments to reach people who only know smoke signals.
Why couldnt entanglement be used for a binary code type signalling?
yes and what Alien gona talk with as, they mach older smarter bat we have sameone to look as or we are yust in like reservation or BB .Where are others, that is mistery
How do we escape that kind of communication? I have to escape these electrical signals coming from the skies.
As a (retired) evolutionary biologist, epistemologist, and former astrophysics student, with a strong interest in exobiology, I'm always searching for solid, well-grounded science videos on youtube, and this is one.
I just discovered your channel, and I'm very happy that I did, as I enjoyed this particular video very much.
I corresponded for a bit with Gil Levin, in the late 1980s, and I very strongly suspect that the Viking landers did indeed detect life on Mars. Experiments similar to, the LR and gas spectrometer, but much more sensitive and sophisticated, should be included in a future mission designed to sample soil from the surface through several centimeters to perhaps half a meter below the surface layer.
With regard to the WOW! signal, one possibility for it had been the presence, in 1977, of two comets that were in the vicinity of the signal's apparent origin, that might possibly caused a similar signal on that frequency. Those comets were due to return to that area of the sky, although not simultaneously, in the past couple of years. The signal wasn't repeated, which presumably rules out that natural cause.
I think that the idea that inhabited subsurface oceans on natural satellites is an exciting possibility, and is certainly high on the agendas of NASA, the ESA, and the Russian program.
In any event, thank you for this very entertaining piece of work.
Too bad you don't have solid, well grounded evidence of evolution.

The theory with the least assumptions is usually the answer.
Celebrating your 3k subs, wow. One of the characteristics i admire about you, is how truly humble you are regardless of channel size. You haven't lost your enthusiasm nor how you approach your subscribers with mutual respect.
It's still me, I haven't changed and won't. What really humbles me though is that this content helps people in ways I didn't imagine. I just thought I was trying to explain science and speculation and what might be. What I didn't realize is that it would help people suffering insomnia and depression. That's when I said to myself "Eh, this is bigger than you, do it right stupid" and that's what I'm striving to do. I can't think of anything more worthwhile than what I'm doing as a result.
Who says Von Neumann probes cant be microscopic? Even we can build machines at the molecular level, a million year old species could perfect that technology. We could be surrounded by probes right now.
That makes me itch.
Bro that shit is true as, look up the US Navy “tic tac” UFO sightings, which has also been recorded by other militaries. There’s something in this
I think we could well be surrounded, they're just cloaked.
Callum Anderson Yeah SETI really needs to re-evaluate its stance on the UFO phenomenon since the Nimitz incident was declassified. While its perhaps unlikely that UFOs are Van Neumann probes, the possibility is distinctly there, and an unidentified object being able to outmaneuver fighter jets with ease does deserve an eyebrow raise at the very least
It actually makes sense regarding economy of resources regarding their production
@0:06 - congratulations on the channel reaching 3K Sub’s.
I’m over here like a delayed constant 3 years later catching up on these amazing videos & now JMG’s channel has cleared 300K subs!! Awesome work! Your work is timeless! ( love the closing comments!!!).
Less than two years later and you have a 36-times larger audience. Congratulations John, keep posting this amazing content!
You are better at this than SO many similar channels. Thank u.

I think the failure of NASA to follow up the Viking tests on later missions (eg repeat the LR test with left, then right, handed molecules) is an epic mistake. It's as if they concluded that chemical testing for life was too academically challenging for them, and so just decided to look for water then scream' COULD MEAN LIFE' whenever they saw it.
Rob Henry
Well if you remember, NASA lost funding during various presidencies.
As a result, their scope was focused more onto what we have today:
A blend of orbiting research facilt(ies), probes, and "little" area/volume scanners.
Competence doesnt require funding. When you bungle basic experiments thus wasting the funding, guess what happens next...
And the guy who decided to mix the LR payloads into one should be forever posted in alaska in search of fungi spores. This is what lost em further funding, enter the new project 'in search of water (enjoy the downgraded level of trust to run anything more complex)
If it wasnt for ESA, NASA would still be having trouble with that, so NASA is either full of incompetent theorists or effective saboteurs. Im betting both.
You dumbasses actually think that's all they look for, water? They look at the general conditions of planets, whether or not they could possibly have water on them. Water is also a pretty good strategy to look for organisms that us humans would recognize as life as we know it. The search for alien life is so unlikely it's more possible for us to go extinct before we find even a signal.
If you think you're more competent than acclaimed NASA theorists then why aren't you one? Lol a bunch of snobby idiots who think they have the IQ of a Rick and Morty fan.
@@omgz8876 Well, saboteurs are an interesting possibility... What would be their motive? And I'm not being cynical. In all seriousness, what could be their motive?
On the other hand, what are the chances that such a project has incompetent idiots bungling such an important mission?
Ok, accidents do happen, but accidents in such professional environments should be scarce and flat-distributed, statistically speaking.
For example, what are the chances of such negligence or clumsiness happening during the opening of Chinese Olympics? Corporate logistics? Military or rescue operation? I don't want to assume but this is definitely testable and verifiable within a reasonable degree of accuracy.
What I'm saying is that there must be a way to calculate the odds that could hint whether such a botch is more likely to be a sabotage or just an accident, considering all comparable human endeavors with comparable logistics, level of expertise, scope and budget.
@@milanstevic8424 You forget what a big change to the status quo the Discovery of extraterrestrial life would be. For everyone.

Your channel is awesome and is an inspiration to mine that FINALLY comes out next week. Years in, and I and many others are still here. Thanks for always providing awesome content.
I remember seti saying we would likely find evidence of extra terrestrial life in the next 20 years , 20 years ago. It's how they keep the funds going.
To be fair, most of the known exoplanets were discovered in that time period. Not radio signals carrying alien pop songs, granted, nor by SETI, but still significant scientific progress on yea or nay to exolife, and to exosentience. The question might be, what's the best way to investigate the questions, and is that by radio?
Jim Baker , Have to agree with Bone Doc as it seems a requirement to get science to even speak the word alien it’s always deep in our future. Almost like they’re purposely trying to not frighten anyone.
@@sonnyburnett8725 They err on the side of caution in all things.
I don’t like seeing SETI talking about geology on another planet when there primary task and really there only task is to Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence!!
@@perfection4749"I'm mad because scientists accidentally discovered something unrelated to their mission" you're a dumbass.

according to one of my biology proffs, microbe are present in our own atmosphere, and account for much of seeding that forms the water droplets in clouds. which would be very good for microbes in Venutian clouds.
Watching John Michael's video is awesome
Waiting a year and going back and rewatching the videos again is still a treat and I look forward to watching them again and again
This is the first content of yours I’ve seen, and I’m impressed! You are doing a fantastic job. I can’t wait to see future content! 👍👍
hmmm, if we don't broadcast on the hydrogen band cos of SETI, maybe all the aliens have the same rule. So everyone is listening and hearing nothing cos no-ones saying hi.
rofl! That's an awesome but sad thought. Maybe we should broadcast once a month or year or something. Can you imagine if your right & the whole universe has been doing this for thousands of years & we decide to be the ones to break the silence & they ALL respond & then everyone realises what they've done & hears each other rofl would be TOO funny! gotta be a novel or movie in that!
I think what he meant was that we don't broadcast on that band for our everyday/commercial purposes. Pretty likely that we if we think of that as the universal hello we are gonna be saying hello because we're a bunch of lonely bastards.
exactly, just watch the night clear movements, of as pilots have discussed for decades. "Foo Fighters" duh
As a scientist who in early days got the Nikola Tesla Society prestigious award for young scientists I had opportunity to directly study his writings/works at Belgrade museum. Truth about his "receiving radio signals from Mars (and Moon)" is much simpler and more important for the history of Science than guess-work on aliens: Before Tesla, radio-astronomy did not exist in any shape or form. Not even the radio (modulated EM signals), he invented it (despite Marconi's sneaky attempt to steal the glory). Interesting thing is WHAT Tesla decided to do once he invented the concept of the radio and had it working in the lab. He have not chosen simple target but built a very strong transmitter, wondering how would his invention perform in the vacuum of space and at astronomical distances. Before Marconi's "feeble" transmission over the Adriatic Sea, Tesla sent long wave radio signal modulated with his own voice toward the Moon and Mars. Not to "talk to aliens" but to see how would signal propagate over vast distances in vacuum and how/if it would (as he expected) reflect from the astronomical bodies. His notes on receiving and decoding reflections of his own signal, in the years to follow, were misinterpreted as him receiving something of alien origin. To better grasp why would Tesla first do something seemingly so "odd" instead of announcing his great invention of radio to the World, one must understand his scientific invention process, vastly different than "will it stick to the wall" of Edison. Tesla always deeply investigated science of his inventions before releasing them, he needed to have deeper understanding of what he found before being ready to let the World on it.
Why is this important for the History of Science?- Because Tesla not only invented radio but also in the process did the first Radio Astronomy experiment/observation, founded the field of Radio Astronomy far earlier than the current history states.
I love your videos so so much! Thank you for all the effort and information you put in. You really deserve your own tv show!

Excellent video
More recent revisions to the Alcubierre drive bring the energy requirements down to much more reasonable levels. The big sticking point now is that it would require exotic matter that has negative mass. If that doesn't exist then it doesn't matter how little of it we need if we need any non-zero amount.
Exactly. However, it’s already hard enough to contain antimatter (with positive mass/energy), grabbing a hold of negative mass may be a little dicey(if it even exists).
im really glad you don't try to sell these ideas like some other channels do. you clearly state that they're not proven yet, but do a good job of explaining why people might take it as evidence edit: didn't know the Alcubierre drive was a thing. it's how the spaceship in Futurama works haha

For some reason the picture taken from the surface of Venus shown in the video has been blowing my mind for years. Even more so than any of the ones we have from Mars' surface. I don't really know why. They're all pictures of other planets and all are equally impressive but for whatever reason the Venus one always sends me in some sort of mini existential crisis haha. Maybe it's because Mars has been part of our science and our fiction for so long that Venus just seems more exotic to me at this point. Oh well, thank you for yet another amazing video.

at first I thought "Oh great another top 10 alien bullshit", but this is actually very reasonable and I like that you give your (scientific) opinion! Very cool video
Working from a number of basic assumptions listed below one likely solution to the Fermi Paradox maybe as follows. (1) Since the advent of predation nature has expressed a preference for intelligence in predators and a relative lack of intelligence in prey animals. This is because predatory animals need to process far more information about their surroundings than the animals they prey upon do. (2) Nature has also expressed a pattern in the social structures of both predator and prey. For exsample prey animals tend to have highly developed social bonds between members of their own species. Gathering together in large groups for the benefits that come from "safety in numbers". Predators on the other hand tend to lead more solitary lives rarely interacting with members outside their immediate or extended family. This is because they are in competition for the same resources and view each other as a threat. Obviously there are exceptions to these rules and humanity is a prime exsample of a highly social predatory species. But perhaps we ARE the exception not the rule. It may well be very uncommon for intelligent life in the universe to possess the same sort of social requirements that we do. Instead the tendency might be to view other intelligences as nothing more than competition or perhaps even as a threat to their continued existence. A less pronounced exsample of this may be humanity itself. Atfer all our species has never known a time in which we were not in conflict with each other somewhere and for the very same reasons listed above.
John I love your videos. Enjoy them very much and have your book. At some point I’m really going to want an autographed photo but for right now I have another request.
PLEASE take this the right way. It’s sometimes very hard for me to fall asleep and I’ve found playing your videos in the background either on My tv or phone soothes me right to sleep. I mean I’ve heard them all already and it’s mainly to relax me and get time to fall asleep. Mind you when I’m awake I still listen and enjoy much. Maybe it’s the monotonous voice or hearing what I know already in background whatever it is it helps. Is there a longer video or audio file of just you talking and not a back and forth interview longer than twenty minutes anywhere? An hour would be perfect or hell even longer. It’s an odd request and I really hope this is taken correctly. You are entertaining and knowledgeable and I’ve watched all you have I could find for my knowledge which is maybe why I feel comfortable falling asleep to you explaining stuff. My girlfriend also loves your videos cause they are so in depth.
If there’s a long video you have somewhere please let me know. Xerotrek328@aol.com. Thanks

Did you ever notice that in the search for intelligent life in the Universe, all the technology and equipment is facing away from the earth?
theresbob funny. But they actually pointed a probe at earth as an experiment to detect life using pure data and removing all assumpions. Life was found based on the data.
Ha haaa! Burn! 🤣
That just blew my mind
Well that's the whole point...to look in outer space, away from Earth lol
If ever it's the other way around, say aliens found us first, I hope they can talk to you first.😄 May your subs replicate! and 'eat'' the bogus science channels.😁
Ha, von Neumann subs. I like it.
If they could reach us they probably have strong AI capable of parsing every bit of data humanity has ever produced. They would know about these kinds of people.
The whole thing about Dyson spheres or similar structures to me is the amount of resources it would take to build something like that. I mean come on you're talking something many many hundreds or thousands of times bigger than a death star. Any civilization capable of gathering just the raw materials for that endeavor would have already long ago been capable of interstellar flight, hence, able to generate massive amounts of energy. I can't imagine it would be worth the effort.
I suspect you're thinking of the SciFi misunderstanding of a Dyson's concept. Dyson did not describe a solid sphere, his "sphere" was a very large number of objects in solar orbits arranging themselves so each of them gets as much solar radiation as it can. This tends to be called a Dyson swarm nowadays. You'll notice can be built in the same way that a transcontinental road or rail system is ... one little useful step at a time. Our current technological and scientific level is sufficient to build this, but it would be very expensive to get started; something of the order of a World military budget or three.
This doesn't mean that very large constructs are impossible; but realistically you generally need as least a power collecting Dyson swarm a a prerequisite.
Interestingly, interstellar flight looks significantly more difficult than building solar power collectors within a Dyson swarm. One of the easier methods looks like using a few of these collectors to beam power to the spaceship (perhaps a light sail?) though slowing down at the other end is very "interesting".
exactly. a dyson sphere would be part of a wireframe with pv and similar mounted to it. very thin, possible to build but yeah it would require a huge amount of material and coordination and resources to position it. you're right; they're shown as a complete shell around a star which is a major lofty goal even for a spacefaring civilization that's commencing with shell construction. it's more likely to begin with a couple big pv banks orbiting the planet outside its line-of-sight with its star anyway
@@danfruzzetti7604 self replicating drones could accomplish it relatively quickly, provided the building materials were available nearby.

Congratulations to JMG and team for two awesome channels!
Thank you John! You made me lose a lot of sleep but your channel is fascinating!
The way we've described "life" up into now has been kinda bizarre to me. I mean why is the definition so specific? Single celled bacteria in groups function as an intelligent group, with no brains, and no apparent singular goals, yet they function as if they have a plan or something!
Maybe intelligence is just a function of how the patterns are organized? I mean I'm sure we'll find alien life *some* day, but it seems we need to do more research on what's possible here on Earth in the meantime before we'd be able to recognize an intelligent lifeform anywhere off earth, considering we've only been looking for single/multiple cell organisms to this point.
Now consciousness, that's the weird one to consider. How do we know something has to be complex to be aware of itself?? Maybe this damn smartphone is aware, how the hell can we say for sure either way?
Seems like the function and abilities of something is the important part, and for that, we can build artificial intelligence that sense and communicate whatever they want. The desire from the software to look for meaning in the world is purely up to us to program the algorithms. However aren't we just mimicking our own existence? Strange. If something senses and reacts to outside stimuli, then surely theres a sensation it feels? No clue, but a lot of irrelevant questions anyways.
Not totally irrelevant, or you wouldn't have written 4 paragraphs... Thumbs up.
