    Brain cox is one of the best scientist out there. He often says " we don't know" like he is never to old to learn new things. And his way of explaining things, in understandable words. That's the kind of explaining everyone needs. And is a gift to him, to be able to have conversations on different levels.

    • @WaterspoutsOfTheDeep
      @WaterspoutsOfTheDeep Год назад +2

      ya he says we don't know when we do. like he said we don't know if the universe is cyclical or eternal yet science has proven it had a finite start with some of the most proven science of mankind in his own field of science. Hard to take him seriously after that.

    • @Scar_tisseu-86
      @Scar_tisseu-86 Год назад

      @WaterspoutsOfTheDeep well its arguable ofcource, but in all fairness the universe is just like the human brain, a great unknown. And he litraly say we don't know what we don't know. In a sence I can agree on that. Ofcource is there science out their that's pretty accurate, but there is also a thing like improvement 😉

      @@Scar_tisseu-86 It really isn't arguable in all fairness given the spacetime theorems are mankinds most proven science essentially. Borde and Vilenkin took Hawking and Penrose work on classic general relativity and expanded it as far as possible with 5 papers and concluded "all reasonable cosmic models are subject to the relentless grip of the space-time theorems." They gave examples where you wouldn't need an absolute beginning to space and time but in such models you wouldn't have life. So there has to be a causal agent(God) beyond space and time because the universe is not cyclical/eternal. What's his face refuses to acknowledge the progress science has reached in burying his own Atheistic worldview. Oh and this is from all the way back in 2009 this isn't new, he has no excuse to be ignorant of it and these papers were big news too for his field.

      How is this word magic? He confuses you with 4 billion years maybe on the fortunate side, skips what he intends to say about the small percentage of time of there beeing complex life on earth, compared to it's total existence. Then he says our solar system "might be quite unusual in that respect".

      That's a parable. It's about making it clear that just because you haven't found anything doesn't mean it isn't there.
      So we've only explored a very small part so far, comparing that to the amount of water in a jar or bucket fished out of the sea. But this comparison is actually flawed. Because if you took a microscope to look, you would find life. Massive even.

      Death does not truly exist. Death is a human construct. We know that everything is made up of some sort of matter. We also know the body becomes slightly lighter at the time of death so we do know that something is there. What separates you from me, is nothing more than a cluster of molecules that have formed in such a way that it gives us life. Many of us have walked the walk of life more than once where others have recently formed into existence. To say life does not exist outside of our solar system, is willful ignorance. If it happened here, how come it hasn't happened elsewhere on one of trillions of other planets.

    What many people don't mention is that we live in a local bubble. Which means a place with a lower density of stars and gas than most other places in the milky way. There are billions of stars but only thousands of bubbles. So in that sense we are actually a lot more stable than the majority of the stars in the galaxy.
    The orbits and temperatures of our planets are not getting disrupted by neighboring stars passing by, new stars are not spawning near us.
    There is a ton we still don't know about conditions of life to just throw numbers around and talk about likelihood from there.

We find ourselves in the right spot because those conditions are necessary for us to even be here to begin with to contemplate it.

      Ludicrous to think that we are the only planet with life. Multicellular life is a lot less likely, considering that it took a lot of time for it to develop here. A planet can very easily be destroyed one way or another before multicellularity develops. For life to reach a civilization stage, that takes a lot more, so it becomes even less likely, but certainly can happen.
      Some people think that those other civilizations can reach us, or are even aware of us, now that is ludicrous.
      Considering the age of the universe, how long it takes for more complex elements to be formed and spread around with supernovae, then formation of new solar systems and all... We are still in a relatively young phase of the universe, and one civilization has to be the first. It is unlikely to be us. But on the other hand it could very well be us.
      Then there's the thing about civilizations being quite capable of destroying themselves. If we decided to, we could wipe earth clean of life, and we might be accidentally eliminating our civilization within a Millenia. So our civilization has existed for a few thousand years. That is nothing in cosmological timescales. So even if there were other civilizations before us, chances are most of them have wiped themselves out long ago.
      So. Not an easy puzzle to solve.

    • @diegog1853

      I think the only ludicrous thing to say is to state anything at all on the matter.
      Because there is no evidence of anything... Just some vague flawed statistics.
      The fact of the matter is that... We still have a lot to learn about the formation of life. We live in a galactic bubble and while there are billions of stars in the galaxy, there are only thousands of bubbles. And being in a bubble maybe a necessary requirement for the stability needed for the long process of having complex life.
      Trying to guess if there is complex life out there to me is like trying to guess the number of a die without knowing how many faces the die has. It could be six, or it could be five billion.
