We can say for certain there is 1 intelligent civilisation in this galaxy. That gives us a sample size of 1 per galaxy on the very, very limited data sample we have. There’s 200 billion galaxies. Extrapolate the data and you can estimate 200 billion civilisations, and that’s just on the exceptionally limited data we have. We would be very arrogant to believe we are so special. Ludicrous even. If we find microbial life in just this solar system alone, then it will confirm there is life everywhere in this galaxy and the other 200 billion galaxies.
@@H3Cult not ludicrous. Abiogenesis or life from non life is not understood. The odds on it occurring somewhere else could be close to an infinity against. If that is the case, it doesn’t matter how many exoplanets there are, we likely are still alone. Now if any life is found somewhere else, than I would agree with your argument.
@@bobusa1960 It’s not understood, yet what we do know is it exists in an incredibly small sample size against an unfathomable scale. Many things in the universe aren’t understood.
@@H3Cult I agree about the small sample size. That being said abiogenesis is not understood. There are only two likely cases: one is that there is some element of life formation that is currently unknown that makes life formation much more likely than random, in which case there are billions of other life forms. The second is that conditions for life from life are so precise and unusual, even with billions of planets there may be no other life. We just don’t know enough.
Honestly it does not change a thing regarding life in other solar systems, and definitely nothing regarding other galaxies. We might have to accept the fact the universe is not just extremely big, the amount of galaxies, multiplied by the solar systems and their planets, but they ate extremely far away from each other. Life could be (and i do think so) common. Yet they are far away from each other not only in space but time as well. An intelligent civilisation might be nothing but a shooting star. Come and go, mostly unnoticed irrelevant. Our species not more than 300k years old. And we don't even know how long we have left.
How the elements of the universe combine to form living organisms obviously escapes modern science. It takes more than water and chemistry. The moon and resulting tectonics was key to the magic.
If RNA and DNA can form up, then life will develop. RNA and DNA are just so special as molecules. Nothing else that we know of can do what these molecules can do. Let's go back to the very earliest most archaic cell-forms. RNA, by itself, can perform many of the functions that an new archaic cell needs to do. Later the RNA transforms into DNA which then programs the proteins to do what the RNA used to do more efficiently. So, it comes down to, can RNA and DNA form in the planet. Well, there needs to be a temperature close to room temperature. The planet needs to have a big variety of elements as in many supernovas need to seed the gas cloud forming the other solar system. A planet with something similar to Earth's mass needs to develop with the above. If it is too small, not enough atmosphere develops. If is too big, too much atmosphere develops and too much gravity stops new species from launching satellites or go going to space. Water. Well water is just one of those chemicals that let's lots of things to disolve in it while no other molecule does that. Asteroids and comets and planetismols need to be extemely rare. Then 100 other things need to line up perfectly. I mean, obviously it can happen. But it has to be very rare. Then, one of the species needs to become smart and technological which then puts the odds down very low. RNA and DNA on planets like Earth are probably common enough, its just that 100 million other things need to line up.
Our civilisation is, perhaps, 4,000 years old and has only become a technical civilisation in the last one hundred years or so. Another civilisation in our galaxy may have collapsed a million years ago. The odds of two civilisations co existing in a galaxy are vanishingly small. We would never know about the other civilisation.

❤ Brian Cox, amazing 🤯 we will never stop learning about life. There is another aspect that is starting to emerge, parallel dimensions. We have no past or future everything is now just in different frequencies. How mind blowing 🤯 is that 😊 .❤
We ran into a meteorite 65 million years ago. Had it not happened, then we would not have been where we are today, and perhaps not even thought about it!
what always makes my head want to explode is what was there before 'the big bang' as something can not of been made from nothing. litrelly there can not of been nothing as that concept is something we can not understand. its like if the universe is expanding. what is it expanding into? as if you had a ball or box that was getting bigger, what is it getting bigger in and what is byond that and beyond that. even if there is forever the fact still stands that what came before, what made everything today. its mad
There's no such thing as "before". Both time and space started at the big bang. The time was 0. Then the seconds started ticking. There was no distance, no depth, no width, no length. The universe didn't exist. It's like asking what was inside a black hole before it formed. Nothing was inside it because the black hole didn't exist.
We have the technology available to send millions of small (10cm diameter) engraved metal spheres in all directions from earth, why not do that, it would be obvious to any civilization finding one that another civilization exists or existed depending how far in the future they find a sphere, but at least we could let others know there is or has been other intelligent life.
@MarkLikesCoffee860 Agreed but I'm also thinking of civilisations that don't yet have the means to even detect our radio waves yet, I don't know I just like the idea of letting others know they're not alone as much as trying to find out if we're alone. 😉
Yes, complex life needs more time, Earth is about 3 times younger than our Solar system, now let's assume there are Solar systems similar but older than ours, it's not crazy to think there are worlds out there with complex life forms. More advanced then we are.
It’s quite possible there are many planets out there that support life with lots of species of plants & animals but they don’t have any humans. Humans are just one species amongst millions here on earth and let’s face it, the earth would do perfectly well without us.
As far as I’m concerned if there is life or there isn’t, neither of those prospects are terrifying, despite what Arthur c Clark said . But so many events have to happen for such a long time ,for even the simplest of life to exist. I feel we just got lucky , I hope I’m proved wrong before i die 😊
Perhaps someone should come up with a Frank Drake type equation that focuses on all the aspects of what what made life possible on earth, such as a large moon, axis tilt, liquid metal core, proper distance from the sun, liquid water, etc, then apply those estimates to the variables, and known plants or moons that fit this scenario.
But geochemistry to biochemistry leap happened only once on earth : the common origin of life . if life occurs easily we would have many origins of life forms. Forget about it, it s very rare occurrence and probably earth is the only bio planet in the galaxy.
We lack a clear concept of TIME! Human consciousness has only been on earth a very SHORT time, among the Billions of Light Years. Space time is almost beyond understanding!
Fascinating stuff! Anyone know why Einstein’s theory of gravity would suggest expansion of the universe? I would’ve assumed it would dictate the opposite, and that matter couldn’t escape the pull of gravity, and that a “Big Crunch” was likely inevitable. Furthermore I thought it was only the recent presumption of the existence of “dark energy” that tried to reconcile those ideas, (AFTER the presumption of “dark matter” seemed to make a Big Crunch a sure thing).
Einsteins theories predicted an expanding universe before it was officially proven by Hubble. Einstein couldn’t accept the expanding universe as at the time it was generally considered that the universe was static. Einstein created the cosmological constant which would allow his theory to fit a static universe. He considered it his greatest blunder and later removed it when Hubble proved the universe was expanding.
We don’t have a clue if there is any life in the universe outside of ourselves. It doesn’t matter if there are billions of other planets, if the probability of life forming from non life is greater than a trillion to one.
@@bonysminiatures3123 actually, according to a book I read entitled Signature of the Cell, the probability of DNA generating itself randomly would take more than all of the matter in the visible universe and much greater time than the universe has existed. Odds have been estimated at between 10-100 and 10-300. Whether there is some factor that can improve these odds is unknown.
Okay so we agree that the chances of life are one in a trillion. If our galaxy has around 100 billion planets, and there are one trillion other galaxies, and each of them probably has as many planets, we can multiply that together to get 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets in the universe. Divide that number by one trillion and we get 100,000,000,000 planets with life in the universe.
Well once we find cosmic intelligence life here on our planet it will be that much easier to find it elsewhere. I only have a couple decades left and I hope we find a definitive answer before I go.
Life in the Universe might be akin to the Collatz conjecture. No matter the integer or how big it is the cycle always goes down to 1. Life in the Universe might be the same. No matter how big the universe is, life might only exist on Earth. The argument of “the Universe is so big…” might end up being a logical fallacy.
He say's... With the big bang time started. Give me 1 other existance or proces in 2 or more moments, that started with no time. If there is none to be found, what makes the cientists so sure, that there was no time before our universe?
@@BillyThetit Religion seems to be far worse in their beliefs. Their predictions and theories are far worse and usually self serving. But hey, who am I to say. Just for thought. Atheism. A non-prophet organization. 😁
In the Milky Way alone there may be 400 Billion stars, the Universe might have a Trillion galaxies. Do the math, if we could examine 1 star system each second it would take 12000 years to get through just our galaxy. The numbers and distances are daunting.
There is craft more advanced than ours that fighter pilots have chased and said it’s not from here so why is it they keep questioning whether we are alone or not?
To me the sensible question to ask is ‘is there life elsewhere in the Milky Way galaxy?’. That is something which we at least have a chance to answer. It is likely, but by no means a certainty, that life in the form of single celled organisms does exist and may even be commonplace. Anything beyond that is a complete unknown and my own opinion is that multicellular life is extremely rare and as far as other technically advanced civilisations existing is just pure fantasy.
What's the point of all that out there if there's no life 🤷🏻♂️ we're all tucked away in our own corner. Distances simply too great to ever know for sure
The rare earth ( intelligent life) might not have evolved or they might have died. We don’t know. But Brian you don’t say anything about uaps. Please address this issue. I don’t think so- but you should take a look at this
The universe being as a whole arranging itself in the form of worlds orbiting their suns with their moons for life to exist as we know it lots of universal love everyone Colin 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 Brian love Colin
Brian Cox is great but he needs to sort his hair out. Hes been rocking that mop for too long! I'm not trying to be mean I'm doing him a favour. Love his work and watching his content 😊
all one has to do is watch the bob lazar vidoes of area 51, and he talks in details about 9 spacecraft from 9 different alien nations, all with anti-gravity propulsion systems. the model he worked on was the sport model, a flying disc about 60 feet in diameter. this model with anti-gravity systems explained in great detail by lazar. this is proof of first contact, but hidden away by the government.
All it takes to make amino acids is liquid water and lightning. That's it! Amino acids are the most fundamental ingredient to creating life. Then, after that, there are of course, countless other restrictions.
Are you not afraid of the laws of natural selection? And if it is the same for all hypothetical life forms (which is most likely the case)? If all intelligent beings go through such "growing up" before becoming intelligent? Should we expect them to be peaceful and not aggressive? Does a developed mind guarantee peacefulness? Humanity gives a clear answer to this question!! Maybe we should start building a unified Earth fleet before it's too late.=)
Life out there! We cannot handle the life here and if we do find another location of life What do we do with it Make better weapons Colonizing and Control them Remove there way of life speech ✌️ I'm just saying , some things are best left alone
5:10 I would go further and say if the correct geology and chemistry exists on those moons but we don't find life then surely we have a duty to introduce microbial life and see what happens. ❤️
Well my conclusion is that intelligent life in the universe is very rare. I think one civilisation per galaxy. The universe is rich in single cell microbes.
@@JakeCuthbert the good thing is that there probably therefore is one intelligent civilization out there 🤣 Just got to find it now so we can nick their technology
This whole argument seems to be contingent on the premise that the idea of abiogenesis is real and also the assumption that the macroevolution hypothesis might be real. Atheists seem to automatically make these beliefs their assumption. But if there is no such thing as the processes of abiogenesis and macroevolution, then life elsewhere perhaps doesn't exist in the physical universe. Who knows?
Like the universe 13.7 billion years old but years are 12 month that we establish on this planet… if we were in any planet but earth years would be way different
"In the next years?!" - Very unlikely. Wishful thinking. Also, it's good not to have "aliens" and thus possible enemies around, as this means that in order to achieve peace we humans only have to sort out ourselves in a constructive manner 👍👍
@MarkLikesCoffee860 "World peace?" - No, in our day and age, the Earth is no longer "the world," and there would be perpetual "star wars," which would affect us on Earth permanently, too. But there are no aliens...
The whole channel seems a little sus, but for no really tangible reason. It's so slick, but amateur, bit these are people to be interviewing... I dunno I guess there is money from somewhere. Good luck with the channel guys, hope it does well. Really need to ramp up them subs!
The Big Bang pushed the universe away , there could be radicals coming the other way from the much larger universe where big bangs are a regular occurrence.
Is there more than one universe ? Is there a big bang happening beyond ? Has there been millions of big bangs already that have happened ? Why millions if not billions because my mind is asking ........ We have millions of stars, millions of planets, millions of moons, millions of galaxy`s ?????
It seems to be the human condition to romanticise about finding life elsewhere..... it seems a silly notion .....infinite universe therefore ...infinite possibilities .... Like throwing the 10,000 piece jig saw up in the air expecting that one day it will all fall down into place by chance. Some things simply will never happen again. What we have here is quite unique. Best we just look after it.

To me the sensible question to ask is ‘is there life elsewhere in the Milky Way galaxy?’. That is something which we at least have a chance to answer. It is likely, but by no means a certainty, that life in the form of single celled organisms does exist and may even be commonplace. Anything beyond that is a complete unknown and my own opinion is that multicellular life is extremely rare and as far as other technically advanced civilisations existing is just pure fantasy.
Cox doesn't know that. He's just speculating, doesn't have a clue like the rest of us.
What's the point of all that out there if there's no life 🤷🏻♂️ we're all tucked away in our own corner. Distances simply too great to ever know for sure
The rare earth ( intelligent life) might not have evolved or they might have died. We don’t know. But Brian you don’t say anything about uaps. Please address this issue. I don’t think so- but you should take a look at this
The universe being as a whole arranging itself in the form of worlds orbiting their suns with their moons for life to exist as we know it lots of universal love everyone Colin 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Brian love Colin
Penrose is beyond, paradoxical, intriguing genius.
Time is just one of the problems "we" still have poor "knowles" of !!
Brian Cox is great but he needs to sort his hair out. Hes been rocking that mop for too long! I'm not trying to be mean I'm doing him a favour. Love his work and watching his content 😊
all one has to do is watch the bob lazar vidoes of area 51, and he talks in details about 9 spacecraft from 9 different alien nations, all with anti-gravity propulsion systems. the model he worked on was the sport model, a flying disc about 60 feet in diameter. this model with anti-gravity systems explained in great detail by lazar. this is proof of first contact, but hidden away by the government.
We've already found life. Concious orbs that live around our planet
All it takes to make amino acids is liquid water and lightning. That's it! Amino acids are the most fundamental ingredient to creating life. Then, after that, there are of course, countless other restrictions.
Why do people leave those advertising stickers on their laptops?
Are you not afraid of the laws of natural selection? And if it is the same for all hypothetical life forms (which is most likely the case)? If all intelligent beings go through such "growing up" before becoming intelligent? Should we expect them to be peaceful and not aggressive? Does a developed mind guarantee peacefulness? Humanity gives a clear answer to this question!! Maybe we should start building a unified Earth fleet before it's too late.=)
Your video title is a little misleading he doesn't say it will be discovered he said it might be discovered
We can just keep looking and guessing until we find it.
Life out there!
We cannot handle the life here
and if we do find another location of life
What do we do with it
Make better weapons
Colonizing and Control them
Remove there way of life speech
✌️
I'm just saying , some things are best left alone
5:10
I would go further and say if the correct geology and chemistry exists on those moons but we don't find life then surely we have a duty to introduce microbial life and see what happens. ❤️
Brian Cox has now assumed the role of scientific prophet. Life will be discovered SOON!!!!!
A clock is a human conversion of time measurement replication to our needs.
If a planet is in the goldie locks zone, has water(H20) & an atmosphere it will have life
South/east over Tasmania 2/11/24 . 4am any visual, the world must havewtf did I see
Well my conclusion is that intelligent life in the universe is very rare. I think one civilisation per galaxy. The universe is rich in single cell microbes.
Is there two in our galaxy then?
Because Earth isn't an example of intelligent life, not by a long stretch.
@@originalbadboy32 😂 you have point my friend.
@@JakeCuthbert the good thing is that there probably therefore is one intelligent civilization out there 🤣
Just got to find it now so we can nick their technology
@@originalbadboy32 haha knick their technology? No chance, they would out smart us.
Yes there is life out there I know this because of historical art.from the Grid God for Ocado.
This whole argument seems to be contingent on the premise that the idea of abiogenesis is real and also the assumption that the macroevolution hypothesis might be real. Atheists seem to automatically make these beliefs their assumption. But if there is no such thing as the processes of abiogenesis and macroevolution, then life elsewhere perhaps doesn't exist in the physical universe. Who knows?
Is time not essentially man made as are the ways we try to measure it
Like the universe 13.7 billion years old but years are 12 month that we establish on this planet… if we were in any planet but earth years would be way different
Does the observation of time not create it
If the galaxies are moving away from each other how come that some of them merge?
I don't know if it's a good statement but our DNA is older than earth itself. Both can be measured/calculated...
"In the next years?!" - Very unlikely. Wishful thinking. Also, it's good not to have "aliens" and thus possible enemies around, as this means that in order to achieve peace we humans only have to sort out ourselves in a constructive manner 👍👍
Surely if we had alien enemies then all countries on earth would need to work together. So it would encourage world peace.
@MarkLikesCoffee860 "World peace?" - No, in our day and age, the Earth is no longer "the world," and there would be perpetual "star wars," which would affect us on Earth permanently, too. But there are no aliens...
Awesome.
I thought it was a young Paul Weller interview
Let's put aside greed and egos, and start looking into the ocean beneath the thick ice that covers Europa, Enceladus and Ganymede.
I sure hope intelligent life is found soon ...
Either we’re alone or we’re not, both are equally terrifying
Why is being alone terrifying?
The ufoes is already here 😂😂
We speak to Nobel loreats with our 292 subscribers
This is our 5th account.
Interesting
The whole channel seems a little sus, but for no really tangible reason. It's so slick, but amateur, bit these are people to be interviewing... I dunno I guess there is money from somewhere. Good luck with the channel guys, hope it does well. Really need to ramp up them subs!
This is out 1 channel: youtube.com/@mk_thisisit?si=CCwa_WALJh04MwGp
First, let’s try to find intelligent life on this planet.
Even if it’s only one per galaxy, there still about 2 trillion galaxies out there
Life is not the same as advanced civilization… keep that in mind
This will categorically not happen. We are a one-off in the Universe.
How can you possibly know what you are going to discover? If true you would already have made the discovery.
i'm still hoping we'll find 'jellyfish' in underground lakes on Mars. also crabs. maybe even 'bats' and spiders
We are only 100 years old intellectually. Our galaxy could have a million Roman type civilizations
he's changed his tune, wonder if he was told to?
told by whom?
The simplest way to explain? Our planet was seeded from meteors from all over the galaxy and supernovae
That just kicks the can down the road. How did life form on those meteors?
To many coincidences= creation. Even Sagan understood this...
We will probably discover another intelligent form of life in the universe, and we will sell it something.
The Big Bang pushed the universe away , there could be radicals coming the other way from the much larger universe where big bangs are a regular occurrence.
Is there more than one universe ? Is there a big bang happening beyond ? Has there been millions of big bangs already that have happened ? Why millions if not billions because my mind is asking ........ We have millions of stars, millions of planets, millions of moons, millions of galaxy`s ?????
Everything is alive it's all moving it's all connected it's all changing Evolution we are part of something living 🙉🙊🙈
Read the Fermi Paradox. We are indeed alone.
It seems to be the human condition to romanticise about finding life elsewhere..... it seems a silly notion .....infinite universe therefore ...infinite possibilities .... Like throwing the 10,000 piece jig saw up in the air expecting that one day it will all fall down into place by chance. Some things simply will never happen again. What we have here is quite unique. Best we just look after it.
We just need a bit more time…🇨🇦
