      I understand you. We will be more intelligent, more healthy, and we would advance at a rate ten times more shocking than the rate electricity gave us. But that comes at a cost. Our culture. What we have constructed in our existance will be replaced, one by one, building by building, language by language, by a more efficient, futuristic, and beautiful one. By a non-human one. Piece by piece, the human cultures would fade away. If an alien would ask us today "What have you achieved as a species, without the help of any other?" We could be talking for hours about incredible things that we have made by ourselves, while two thousand years later, we would be silent or refer only to the distant past. Which would be like talking about Rome or Ancient Egypt. Fascinating, but ancient and outdated. I am not saying that the sacrifice of our culture is not worth it, because it really, REALLY is worth it. Just saying that we have a larger opportunity to enjoy our own culture than our distant children will.

    Carl Sagan suggested that, due to the immense universe, intelligent beings as civilizations could come and go, at different time periods, perhaps for thousands of years, yet each either becoming extinct before encountering another. He used a Christmas tree with lights, showing that by the time intelligent beings from one 'light' would reach another, it's light would be burnt/out. It would take a great cosmic coincidence that two would meet, but that if they did, it would be two AI robotic units making the encounter.

      It is presumptuous to assume *each and every single* civilization would extinct before they meet. There is no guidebook to lifespan of a planetary civilization. Human civilization have existed for a few thousand years now, the only thing we take example from is our destructive nature. But even us haven't gone extinct yet. And there is great chance for us to exist for millions of years more. Even under the worst case scenario. Sure, we don't know if other intelligent beings will be more or less violent than us, but even if they were just the same as us, they would still have the same great chance. So there is no base for to assume a civilization would only exist for a very brief time period.
      There could be other dangers than self extinction, but there is scientific evidence that natural disasters, whether planetary or from space, can take very, very long time to repeat, enough time to allow a civilization to spread to other planets.
      Just like the PBS Space Time channel host, I reject to believe the Fermi Paradox. There are only a few logical explanations to the reason we haven't met any other civilization. 1- "Intelligent" life is rarer than our thought (we're the only intelligent race we know of) 2- Space travel is harder than our guess and there is no way to work around the speed of light - things like wormholes don't exist.

Or they figured out we were here, and died trying to get to us? I am a strong believer that we are not alone in this universe. The chance of habitable conditions for life as we know it is incredibly slim, but divided by the estimated amount of planets in the known universe, there IS life on other planets. But maybe we will never come into contact with them. Maybe when we do come into contact with them, it will just be a few surviving colonists long after earth, and the rest of the human race, has been wiped out.

      The paradox is that, if the universe is as old as we think it is, and infinitely large as we think it is, probability determines that there IS life out there on a similar technological level as us, but there also SHOULD exist life eons more advanced. Given the age of the universe and the possible age of life within it, interstellar travel should be happening already if it is possible, and so raises the question of why we haven't been visited.
      So, it's most-likely impossible, or so nearly impossible that it's incredibly rare, or so nearly impossible that life usually goes extinct before ever effectively achieving it.

  • @fredricksonthe96th
    @fredricksonthe96th 6 лет назад +140

    Well... As you were saying in your video "our narrow slice", in the year 1903 the New York Times were speculating humanity to be able to build a flying vehicle within 1-10 million years of time. And yet the Wright brothers managed to do just that within the same year. Also one of them apparently said that flying from New York to Paris would never be possible. So, taking our way of thinking in that past into consideration, what's to say we aren't doing the same mistake in estimating our capability of interstellar space travel in the future right now? In the last few hundred years human technology and ingenuity has improved exponentially. So I honestly wouldn't put it past us to get there within the next few hundred years.

    • @badbeardbill9956
      @badbeardbill9956 6 лет назад +5

      We could definitely launch a crewed vehicle by the end of the century. But we'd be limited to a few percent of lightspeed, which would make the journey decades or centuries long, and a return trip impractical, if not impossible. We would also need to use nukes.
      Eventually we may develop photonic laser thrusters to the point where we can travel at functional lightspeed: c/sqrt(2). This a speed where time dilation would result in the proper time of the journey to be equivalent to the amount of time a photon would take in an external frame. Essentially, you would measure your speed as lightspeed, using your time measurements and an external frame's space measurements.

      Why is it shitty, because it uses fission bombs for propulsion? Can you think of a better use for them? Granted, it's a hazard to life on Earth while it's being constructed, but once it's left our orbit, we're in no danger from it, and the amount of nuclear waste it generates is infinitesimal compared to the volume of space in our solar system. I think the risk would be worth it.

What should the next mission do differently? Sometimes incredulous amounts of Technology can run into the most simple obstacles...

    • @mikehughes6582
      @mikehughes6582 7 лет назад +148

      If we ever travelled at 98 pct the speed of light, how and at what point would we need to slow down. If you slowed too quickly, you might not be able to withstand the g forces. Also, at that speed, would it be possible to make slight course corrections? And finally, if you couldn't see where you're going, how would you know if you were on course? Wow, way too many unanswered questions.

    • @jorgensenmj
      @jorgensenmj 7 лет назад +104

      If your ship strikes a tiny piece of gravel and totally disintegrates I think the next mission should devise a better way to detect and avoid tiny pieces of gravel. Lasers to disintegrate tiny gravel before impact may work. Also the front end of a ship containing self sealing layers alternating between water and compressed gas can absorb most small impacts.

    • @randy95023
      @randy95023 7 лет назад +76

      We might have to slow our velocity by a few milliseconds to allow for a laser's return time, but our technology will take a few thousand years to advance to this type of problem to be an issue. Any "craft" that can travel near light speed will have to overcome problems that aren't even in the realm of sci-fi at present time. Cool to think about nonetheless.

      bowser jr They wouldn't bend light to cloak themselves, because then it would be even easier to see the presence,They would look like the gravitational lensing, Instead I bet the aliens would just find a way to allow their armor to absorb light from behind it and emitt it perfectly towards the viewer, giving an illusion that nothing has been changed to the light, making the unit invisible, We can already do this with todays technology it is just very bulky.
      I understand that thousands upon thousands of UFO's, strange lights and such have been spotted, but look at where we are? No where, We haven't made ANY progress on these sightings, Any legitimate firm, Organisation and government still doesn't really invest or put some fucking effort into ratfying with scientific basis on any of these sightings.

    I believe in Alien Life, Wormholes and Time Travel. In such a huge Universe, there has to be some sort of other life form, be it intelligent or cellular. My theory on time travel is that we can go forward or slow it, examples being Black holes or even mirrors. If we could somehow harness the power to warp or bend light, it could be possible to go forward. But never go back. Now Wormholes, I like Micheal's idea. It is like taking a paper and bending it, but where to find them would be difficult. Maybe an area or heavy mass that acts like a black hole?
