The renowned physicist and science communicator, Brian Cox delves into the topic of alien life and in particular, the question about intelligent alien civilization.
With his trademark enthusiasm and engaging style, Brian Cox explores the possibility of extraterrestrial life and why we haven't found any.
The video starts with a brief overview of what Brian Cox & astronomers call: "The Great Silence". Cox then goes on to explain the Fermi Paradox and the Dark Forest Hypothesis, which suggest that intelligent life may be intentionally avoiding contact with other civilizations to avoid being destroyed.
Cox uses his expertise in physics and astronomy to explain how alien life may be closer than we think. Like on the surface of the red planet, Mars. He discusses the potential for life to exist in other planets because there are at least 20 billion other earth like planets in our galaxy alone.
Throughout the video, Cox provides easy-to-understand explanations, making complex scientific concepts accessible to a broad audience.
Whether you're a science enthusiast or simply curious about the possibility of life beyond Earth, Brian Cox's insights and knowledge are sure to captivate and inform. Don't miss out on this thought-provoking and entertaining exploration of the universe and our place within it.

As is considering all of the thousands of UAP sightings as the reports of fools or charlatans because interstellar distances are too great. We now know that the US military believes they are real, and has for decades. We also know they have had disinformation campaigns for decades. Science has a nasty habit of disproving previous theories. There is a reasonable chance that current theories also eventually will be proven to be wrong.

Given how long it can take for complex life to form, another possibility is that alien civilisations could be about as old as our own. In this case, we both only started looking out into space very recently. It's like placing 2 people on the opposite side of an empty earth for 2 minutes and asking them why they haven't found each other yet. Edit: I said it's one POSSIBILITY out of millions and billions of other possibilities.

The extremely stable conditions is overstated by some researchers, but not by all. We have received apocalyptic meteorites several times in prehistoric histpry and, according to some theories about the great extinctions, direct hits of gamma rays, that erased the atmospheric layers for several years. But life has shown that is very plastic, where a few microorganisms can survive at the bottom of a sea, life comes back and re adapts. A paradox about life is that it requires unstable conditions to generate the primordial elements.

I personally look at it as seperately picking two people anywhere on earth throughout the history of human civilization and expect them to meet eachother - only ridiculously more difficult. What are the odds that they will be born within the right timeframe and distance and with the ability to actually meet? If there is life out there its likely died before us, will live after us or if actually alive now is so far away we will both be gone before we could ever make contact.

Nailed it. Brian Cox has spoken at length about this and it is his favourite theory.

He relates Fermi to Drake and explains why this is a very likely conclusion.

Given the vast distances involved and the vast time for signals to travel it, plus all the other noise going on in universe, I suspect any signal will be impossibly weak and practically impossible to detect. In any case, we can never see back beyond a certain point as time always marches forward, and we cannot yet see beyond the cosmic microwave background. It’s like sitting in the middle of ocean, where you can only see a small area of sea around you (that analogy breaks down because that is caused by curvature of planet).

The problem with the Dark Forest is that hiding would not save you. Imagine that there WAS a genocidal species out there. They would inevitably come to the conclusion that some species would try to hide from them, and they would then try and find ways to kill the ones that do. WHat is the easiest way to do this? Massive overkill. YOu have an incredibly powerfull energy source in the form of your sun. By weaponizing just a small part of it, you can absolutely kill every living thing in the galaxy without ever leaving your own solar system. If you repfer a more direct approach, send out fleets of probes equipped with nuclear bombs. Or just sent probe droids, like the ones from the second star wars movie, and tell them to report back. If one of them doesn't report back, send a kill fleet. In other words, you can rest easy. If there WAS a genocidal alien race out there, we would already be dead. The very fact that we are still alive means that we are save.

What is really terrifying is understanding why an advanced civilization would see a lesser developed civilization as a threat. It's because that lesser one might, upon being contacted, devote all of their resources to 'catching up". And scientific discovery is not a universal constant. It is possible that the lesser one gets really lucky, and is able to leapfrog ahead in science and technology. The greater civilization can't take the chance, they have to make a decision to eliminate now. Here we are on Earth, broadcasting our signal out freely.

This is the first video that actually started to convince me why it could be so hard to find advanced alien life. Yeah there are plenty of goldilock planets... But ones you give several billion years, that survived everything the universe through at them, and the Civilization survived long enough to send signals we could reach.... Then we right now can find those signals and understand them. Universe seems old but its only 13.8 billion years old, Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago, single cell organsism appeared 3.5 billion years ago, AND then multicellular animals appearwd 600 Million years ago, then starting with Tesla in 1899 in Colorado Springs upto nowadays we have slowly been really just starting our search finding evidence of alien life. So yeah, we just might be a very early alien life that is looking for others And the amount of other advanced lifeforms could be rare and very spread out. Sucks, but real possibility.

A major rule in the discovery process is that we find something unexpected. Which is not surprising given just how little we have yet discovered. This of course doesn’t mean that I expect that the unexpected will come in the form of alien life, it means that anything unexpected is just so because it is alien to us. If we look at life from the perspective of biology we may be missing a broader reality of what in fact does constitute life. It may turn out to be that our bodies (by which I herein include our brains/minds) function for our own purposes…our own ends and therefore we do not see that which is beyond our own little world that our body is functioning for. Aliens could be all around us and we don’t see them….this is not so far fetched if you consider how magic tricks fool us. Alternatively you could consider the capacities of different species to have an awareness of things (E.G) a mole’s eyesight, a bats echolocation etc…..it’s extremely stupid to think our own ability to sense the universe is unlimited, despite technological aides. Again, I recall a certain species was believed to be extinct in Australia, until the so called experts asked the local indigenous peoples about these and were led to them in abundance. The bottom line is that humans are very limited in both intelligence and their awareness of the universe when compared with the immensity of what is out there……we will never know everything, this can only ever be arrogance……which is a fear response to that which is greater and more powerful than you.

The dark forest hypothesis makes perfect sense to me. Look at how many problems we have with each other on our own world.

It seems that chance of perfectly timing the signal correctly directed at Earth that we can receive in tiny time window of +/- hundred of years we (maybe) have proper technology that matches theirs , is so low , it explains big part of "are we alone" question.

I think it’s very likely that we just can’t cover the distance needed to find other life forms unless we learn to create wormholes

yeah its travel, we need a faster and safer way to travel. We have tech to go to the moon and walk on it, but no one has the bus fare to do it like they did back then. Hence why Mars is off the menu at the moment, i recon if there was a big enough drive like it was to the moon, i recon we would have been there, in the 80s or in the 90s.

Is that so?thats why when they asked why we haven't got back to the moon, they answered they gave us was ( we had the technology but we lost it and it's so difficult and painful procedure....) 🤣🤣

@@hellenespirit6009 Moon landing project, i think the US government just threw endless pots of money at NASA. But as soon as they landed on the moon a few times, budget was cut, so no more new moon walks. Also i think there isn't the drive either, like there was for getting on the moon and back. If a government hungry enough to go to mars, and back. I recon we would be there in the next 5 to 10 years.

I think it's probably just the fact that the universe is still relatively young, and that it's bigger than our ability to rationalize probability

I personally think we may even be an early universe species, as you say it took a third of the life of universe for us to pop up.

One counter to the dark forrest philosophy is that this all makes sense if there is always a first-strike anihilation diffence in tech levels between the two civs. But why didn't every proto-human kill each other until they wiped themselves out? Because those tribes that tried could not completely elimiate the compention and sometimes ended up in stalemate. And also it made sense to team up to take on a third tribe who was also a confederation of tribes themselves. etc. So individual survival evovled into group survival. Yes some galactic civs are at overpowering levels of tech differences. But some are not. At least in theory. SPOILER Yes the Trisolarians playing with 9 dimensions make them seem overpowered. But this is where fiction dominates the Sci-Fi. If playing with higher dimensions is not what our real universe makes possible, then dark forrest becomes a self defeating strategy compared to recruiting allies.
