I love to see more of this. Maybe even a whole documentary akin to 'Alien Planet: Darwin IV'
ProfessorCrooks YUSSS I NEEED THIS
Don't we all wish?
same
I know it was 1 year ago, but i recomend "Life Beyond" of Melodysheep. Espectacular visuals and scientific!! (Sorry about my english)
netflix has one series with 4 episodes about animated alien life "alien worlds" if you like that kind of stuff.
I wonder how the silicon based life imagine what carbon based life looks like.
Diamond creatures probably, though in reality we don't look anything like that lol
i mean that's if silicon life is even possible.
Blob fish
“Why are they all soft?”
“And squishy....”
“And sticky stuff comes out if you pop them open....”
“.....ish, gross”
@@GrizzG13 Yeah that's how we are going to end. Them coming and popping us for fun. Starting with you 😆👍😂
For something called "primative", the life seems pretty complex
We can say the same thing about most creatures though right? Even at it's most primitive state it's crazily Complex
@Tessellation no,in that video they're primitive as in like older bodyplans
Idk man it looks pretty primative
if you saw our life from another planet u would have the same reaction rigth
Primitive is relative. To us the other great apes are primitive, but compared to most other animals they're really fuckin advanced
That atmosphere must be thicc af
Agreed
It would be thicker than water
If it were very thick then the critters would be far more streamlined. All those spines and shit would just break off.
@@graphite2786 it must be otherwise the flight is Impossible
@@techmaster9775 low gravity
Such a shame that the video didn't turned out popular
lol don't worry, 5 years later this will boom into popularity.. like 5 million views.. you know why and it is because of youtube recommendations
@@vulpritprooze , yeap! Sad that RUclips didn't recommended me earlier...
Its just a graphic designer work. Nothing we should care about.
@@zbychulatara jealous much? troll
Oi mista
I am very pleasantly surprised everyone expressing your thoughts, thank you very much~~
nice video i love it
Hope you can make a good length documentary out of it!
Hope some mayor corporation gives you support so you can go ballistic with this whole concept! :D
This is the most random and weird, but coolest, recommendation from RUclips so far
If this is the coolest and weirdest thing you've been recommended on yt you must not have been on the site very long.
This is so uncanny and... dream-like. It evokes a sort of emotion that I can't really explain... I guess you could say that it's an "alien" feeling. Love this video!
Everyone's gangsta until mega-squidward starts flying...
This is just incredible. Really hoping someone expands upon this idea
More like we find diz
Wow, a very nice depiction of alien creatures. More people need to think outside the box like this.
I don't know I think they lost me at the dragon space whale.
Should've kept it unearthly.
What people come up with: scientifically plausible aliens creatures
What movies come up with: humanoid, humanoid, humanoid jeez cmon directors it’s getting boring
@@artsy8490 unless people can prove them wrong thus far sentient being had the characterics of human.
@@elmichellangelo Whales and Dolphins are sentient. Sentient just means you can feel and have reasonable amounts of world processing.
i mean they still look like ocean creatures my dude. this once again goes to prove that humans have a hard time conceptualizing something thats actually "alien" themselves.
1:08 me when I hear my mom yelling at my sibling in the other room for the thing I did
You better run before mom gets the flip flop
I must go, my sibling needs me
At this point, I wonder.
Would a von Neumann probe (the self replicating kind) Eventually “evolve” due to random error?
Because technically, that would be a good place for silicon based life to start. From a self replication computer.
Errors would cause random mutations. The environment would destroy probes with failed mutations leaving those probes with successful mutations to reproduce. Basically yes.
@Leo K I humbly await when a carbon-based Von Neumann probe shows up in our solar system and begins developing it for their silicon-based creators. Naturally, silicon-based life probably don't think carbon-based life is possible because it bonds with too much and life it creates would die too easily to extreme temperatures. Surely carbon-based phenomena are not "alive" and merely advanced chemical reactions. :D
Who knows what’s out there in the universe
Stuff we can’t even imagine made out of stuff that we can’t even imagine
@@insertnamehere8099 I for one vote for the great Boron-based slime bones roaming the galaxy with fantastical neutron-shielding exoskeletons.
You probably already know them, but I would recommend the "Bobiverse" books from Dennis E.Taylor which tell the story of an digitalized human mind who was more or less involuntarily made the AI of a von Neumann probe and sent to space.
I always find it weird that whenever people tried to come up with what a silicon-based lifeform would looked like, it almost always looked techno-metallic. Like, why? Because its not organic, and therefore has to be the exact opposite of what organic lifeform looks like? Isnt that a bit too short-sighted?
@IapetusMC pretty sure your erythrocytes are not metal, just because they have iron as a component
@IapetusMC technically they are metalloids, neither organic nor metallic.
Yeah exactly, all that silicon based life would be doing is replacing carbon with silicon. Just because we use silicon in electronics doesn't mean life would become the same thing. We're made of carbon but we don't look like anything we make from carbon. There are no animals with graphene skin and diamond claws.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 8: JoJolion revolves around this concept of silicon-based life forms and they're referred to as rock people. They're made of stone and they are indistinguishable from people by looking at them from the surface.
@IapetusMC silicon is literally a non metal, and there are few non metals in the universe
considering we have yet to find complex life forms in the universe elsewhere outside our planet, one's guess on how they would look like is as good as any. Imagine if there's life which has evolved a sparse molecular structure which makes them appear as living gas? Imagine entire ecosystems with the same premise. Imagine if there are life forms which managed to adapt to the vacuum of space? Beings who copulate in asteroid fields and chase or trap ice comets for hydration. What if there's life capable of sustaining itself upon the stars' surface or even it's core? Or maybe there's a world which followed an identical path to ours and eventually yielded extraterrestrial life identical to us?
All of these are quite plausible or not who knows all we need to do is do more SCIENCE
We can make life on other planets possible also.
Enthro Passive Agressive PlainSmugCommentaryMachine true but that would take billions of years but still worth a try
@God Dammit if we live
I love this kind of thinking. I always ponder about all the possibilities in which life could sustain itself. Our own planet has surprised us non stop, breaking previous rules and boundaries. A fantasy of mine is, when I die, I'd be able to traverse the universe like a spectator and visit the different parts of what the universe has, and possibly at different times or speeds. That'd be amazing.
"This ebible ain't shit-"
Hahahaha
Yes.
Ebible
Kinda sad that silicon life is almost impossible.
Carbon is OP
Why is it almost impossible?
@@chadhinkley7532 because chemistry
Silicon links are weak, they're not friends with oxygen (and oxygen is critical to many-many biological and chemistry reactions)
So basically, silicon life could exist, but only in extreme condition (aka ridiculously high temperature and pressure that would smack mountains)
Silicon is close to carbon, but it lacks some crucial properties which makes life and biological processes possible
Plus, there's almost no silicon in the universe, yet tonnes of carbon
Carbon is an OP element for a reason
@@vldvvalentin but can there be something made out of carbon and silicon?
@@vldvvalentin oh yeah I think that silicon cristalizes when it comes in contact with oxygen
@@panhandlesomen, why would you ever need silicon, if you already got carbon?
Imagine being stranded there where the very concept of Life as we are (carbon based) would be a put to test. Scary.
Kardashians be like: what imagine?
breathing air of stone
this is incredible, needs more exposure
May we bless the RUclips Recommendations for bringing us here together
The dragonlike creature gave me the chills. I would love to visit an alien planet like this. It's kind of like taking those deep-sea submarine dives but way cooler.
I'd argue that we do have living breathing silicone based lifeforms here on Earth, we call them "Celebrities"
Kim kardashian is an alien??? Confirmed???
Fascinating! The creatures look almost robotic in some sense. It makes me wonder if they were altered by a more advanced species or if they are the product of natural evolution. Great inspiration for some sci-fi stories.
I would love to see a movie based just around these creatures living their daily life or on some sort of a misadventure
I very much like the designs, they are interesting, cool, plausible and quite alien. :)
I also like that you (the creator) thought of storm/electricity eating, it works well and was understandable without even reading the description, on which you added they live on a gassious world, it makes sense and works well. Wether or not the plausibility was thought out all the way, it is very likely and well done. I give it 10/10 stars
are they underwater or in a planet with a thick atmosphere or do they excrete gasses like a jet?
@want free idea? contact me check out biblaridion,the creatures in that series feel more natural than those on earth
this is so cool! i really hope you consider expanding the universe of this project or giving more insight to the world- everything from the designs to the animation is so interesting and i'd love to see more. so very impressive
Its one of the most amazing and beautiful animations that I´ve ever seen,I would love to see more of this!!!
You are amazing!!!
I think the problem here is the concept of functionality and adaptation. Like what purpose do the structures of the creatures serve? There is always a purpose to the shape of a life form and the whole sci fi thing is kinda unrealistic in that sense. Aliens may exist, but they may look much more normal than what we’d expect
Probably because silicone isn’t organic
@@dyri160the element silicon is organic, only silicone is inorganic. And yes there is a difference
@@dyri160 hecc even the title uses silicon not silicone. Props to whomever titled the video, makes some sense in a way
Yes and no, imho, these structures may be totally "coherents" since we don't really know anything about why and how they evolved. Nothing really shocked me here, just consider how different we are from jellyfish or insectoids / crinoids life-forms. A contrario, I find it a real uneasy task to imagine alien life, and authors often fall in trap-concepts like humanoids beings (often simply with Earth-animals attributes wich I find personnally boring and stupid, even if I undertand the "why" when we talk about a show, by instance, like star wars or star trek), aliens inspired by animals but we immediatly see the Ref. (cf Hanaris from mass effect) or per contra, ones that we, at once, can see they can't exist, and we won't suspend our disbelief
@@docgonzobordel now that’s a very fair point!! I will say there are certain things I believe won’t change much between worlds and some similarities in life forms are sure to happen, keeping in mind different terrain and atmosphere will effect the creatures morphology and anatomy
i don't like the mechnical design because we are carbon based lifeforms yet we don't look like diamonds
What?
This video is about silicon based life not carbon based life!
@@goidtman1 He says that we, the humans and all other animals in the Earth, are carbon based lifeforms, and when you look at us we don't look like carbon. But those species do look like silicon, they look like a plastic robot.
At least, that's what I understand from his comment.
I did not say that
@@goidtman1 I know, I meant that that was what @The Jurasic Warewolf said
In another unniverse: concept art of carbon based life
I absolutely adore scientifically accurate aliens and this production shows exactly that. Awesome!
Wow this is really beautifully animated, I really like it :)
I was able to name the creatures shown like the Glowstalks, Tetra-pods, Sky-Flyers, and the majestic Sky Whale.
Those are some pretty cool names
Tetrapods are all amphibians, reptiles, mammals, birds, etc so that may not be the best name and i think to distinguish it, it should be Quadra-Pods or something
@@JellyAntz agreed the name tetrapod was I was a lil iffy on. Quadra-pod is more fitting
Too earth sounding needs to be even more out there I think possibly a language we cant even comprehend
Stefania Prosser true but humans need a name for the creatures besides the name that aliens would choose because humans have their own languages
This def needs to be made into a full length speculative evolution nature documentary, like in alien planet show with darwin 4.
woah this is so cool! the animation is incredible, it feels like i just walked into another world!
This was eerily one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a very long time!
I prefer these kind and of Xenos opposed to the boring humanoid ones.
1:05 that's just The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Finally someone notice that
God I love stuff like this. This is so wondrous yet oddly relaxing, I could watch this world for hours.
I agree Professor, fantastic looking,it really got my mind racing!
Large Silicon based life looks so badass
Beautiful
the tall guy just jumping and goin “BWRRRRRR” is killing me
Could you please make more of these please this was the best representation of any alien life form I have seen
1:10 dunno why but it's so funny , like from that meme :D
No its gonna kill itse... Oh... Um... Ok i guess.
Karol Krowicki I laughed too, loud equals funny I guess
"aight, im boutta head out"
i have to go now my planet needs me.
Aight, imma head out
Amazing!
I just realized this was 2 years ago and is asking why it didn't become popular, with such amazing quality
Outstanding work. This was great to watch. This should be more popular.
Fascinating perhaps
Amazing , i want more :)
You should start a patreon to get the funding to continue this as an episodic and scientific series
Wonderfully thought provoking. I love it. Should be a movie .... .... maybe even a series. The possibilities ..........
Remember me when this blows up ok?
Look like a swarm of Sentinel, nice work.
I saw the same thing
Glad that my recommendations are showing me this masterpiece.
i would pay good money for a full length documentary with high quality animation like this
Love it!
How are there rock and solid surface on a gas giant planet?
Gas giants have solid surface deep down its atmosphere especially warm and very low mass gas giants don't have planetwide ocean of liquid gas.
Who said it was a gas planet? The description said it was a "gaseous planet" not a "Gas Planet"
Very cool. Excellent work, well done. What's next, a mini movie or something because that would be awesome.
A beautiful video, pleasure to watch.
In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: JoJoLion(Part 8) there are these so called "Stone People" whom are made out of silicon, and i just think that is really cool.
Mhhh yes, Wonder of U go brrrrrrrrr
Would silicon based life forms be biological or does that only apply towards carbon based life?
The term biological means it is alive. These are living creatures, according to the creator of them, so yes, they are biological life forms. In reference to anything that is a living thing, it is biological.
Thank you
@@bswtsp21 awesome observation.
That's a wonderful vid!
I am obsessed by Exoplanets and Exobiology. Thank you so much for this wonderful view into a possible world!
Are there scientific details behind this?
KAMARAD KAMARADOV you can kinda guess from seeing like how the jellyfish looking dudes just unflap their backs to fly and how they communicate or even feed on electricity
Only the fact that silicon can make 4 bonds and a university has found a thermofilic bacteria that encorperates silicon into it's molecules. But the universe is so big that i think silicon based life exist somewhere
@@cagrsengul5701 When I first read I thought you wrote "but the university is so big" and that you meant as a joke that the girls at university were kinda silicon lifeforms. I'm not proud though.
I wish that's happening somewhere in the universe
Probably is. We'll never know
why not? there could be more universes formed out there space is unlimited
what if there is another universe way far away from us with it's own rules of nature?
for now it's better to speculate planets similar to earth and don't go to crazy
Wow, if silicon life existed it would look something like that. I like the use of electricity as the way to communicate as silicon is a good semiconductor. Nice one
Nice empire-inspired spaceship at the very end. Wow :)
Science has discovered what it feels like to chew 5 gum
Wait how is there a surface on a gas giant
it is most likely a "mini-neptune", a big rocky planet with a thick supercritical atmosphere
this would be so sick as a video game, these graduates did very good!
This needs to be a series
Pls some channel gives these people millions of dollars
This is a representation of the stuff in the far future but when it's year 2100 Nasa's alcubierre warp launches.
*2105 or later
Why does “silicon-based life” equal “robotic life” to so many people? Why in the world would they use electricity? How did they even do that? What evolutionary path lead them to using electricity at all?! Also, being able to fly so easily must mean that the atmosphere is super thick.
For the last part, there are a lot of low gravity/thick atmosphere planets and moons. Some in our very system we wouldn't need more than foam wings taped to our arms to get off the ground.
First part though is sorta just understanding we have absolutely, positively noooooooo idea what can be out there. We get surprised just finding a fish here glows in the dark or a shrimp moves so fast that it creates a tiny explosion.
Something evolving to give off electrical charges is probably on the more normal side of things compared to what could really exist.
Edit: basically assume whatever you know on this planet doesn't apply to anywhere else and that we could just be one method of attaining life though there could be so many others. And that every method would have vastly different results.
Electric eels: *Exist*
Superb work!
Interesting take on this concept! And those are some neato creature designs too ;)
This is intriguing. I wish to see more from the team who developed this.
this is excellent cinematography
Great concept and history 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😉🙏🏻
This is like an opening to a movie. Very nice
Amazing video!
This is beautiful. Great job.
I don't know why this got recommended to me,
But I'm glad it did.
This is beautiful beyond words
Hey from Ukraine.
Really nice work guys!
Even though they're actually alive, they just seem so much like a weird robot with the actual aliens inside. The fact that they even consume electricity makes them even more strange. But I like that concept. It's very interesting. Keep up the good work.
i love the speculative biology, i want to see a documentary like Future is wild but with this creatures
Ooh fantastic concept, i hope more people view this :3
Beautiful work, bravo!!
this needs to become a movie
Very cool designs!
The Mothership looks like a cross between a Star Destroyer from Star Wars and a Vulcan ship from Star Trek, I love it.
Damn, why did I see this only now? Amazing concept!
you are incredible!
really hope this gets popular
Finally some original and VERY interesting things!!
you know its good when the aspect ratio is 5:2
Outstanding and hauntingly beautiful...
I don't know how accurate this is scientifically cuz I heard that Silicon isn't as stable as Carbon but damn this looks dope as hell. I LOVE IT!
BEAUTIFUL!!!
