Brian Cox - Alien Life & The Zoo Hypothesis 

Yuh, but if u really study the “bucket of seawater” you’ll see life in it. Very unlikely you’d get a bucket of sea water with no signs of life in it yk?

@@hansanderspetersen3417 Yeah it's just a dumb comparison we would see evidence of life but we really don't see any unless life is so new and one of the first there would be signs and we're not seeing them.

Same 😐

you never know my friend

no aliens are coming here. and no proof they exist

With the massive push from congress recently for transparency with the UAP findings, I believe a lot is ahead of us very soon. If they even release ONE case of proof of some type of craft. That's enough for most people and myself to believe life is out there somewhere.

Same. Also the difference amongst us , yet still fascinated jus as much as u are. I've been to jail so many times. I'm still out in the streets, but now for no reason. Jus cuz. Yet wen I make my ends meet n come home. I think about the universe and everything that can possibly b in it.

But if they were that advanced, it would be easy for them to build a translator to communicate with us. Unless they don't want to, but that's a different issue.

Cow fungus people. Carpletunnel peeps. Beings made from our discarded waste.

Far more terrifying would be the thought that the life out there is also similar to us, but that we're behaving SO BADLY as a species, that NOBODY is willing to talk to us until we get our shit together, which we do not seem to be doing.

I laugh the way the are always portreyed very different, but always have 2 legs and arms.

This is not a comments section for sci-fi movies. We're talking cosmology and theoretical physics here,

Kirk or Picard?

@@user-mf9yr9gp4c 100% agree. I call it the Angry Alien theory. I think any species on any planet that becomes technologically dominant will destroy themselves long before they can get out of their own solar system. It is a secondary characteristic of the tribalism needed to win evolution. You can't win evolution without anger towards other groups of your own species. We have barely gotten to our own moon, but tribalism has given us nuclear weapons, gain of function viruses, and soon castrastropic climate change all which could end us before we get to our nearest planet. Tribalism = evolution is a law of nature that will exist on any planet. I also think we got lucky because of the protection of Jupiter...without Jupiter early evolution would have been reset dozens of more times by impacts. Solar systems without a Jupiter like planet protecting the inner planets that are in a goldilocks zone would be getting whacked all the time.

I can say with 99.9% certainty that there are many other civilizations. There is an intergalactic council that includes about 2000+ civilizations. Not everyone there is like us, I mean not all biological species, there are other forms of life there, energetic, hybrid, etc. Our Earth is monitored by about 30 civilizations, 2 of them are friendly to us and protect us from external contacts. They are the same squirrel species as we are and their inhabited planet is located 17 million light years from us. The size is 1.5 - 2 times larger than our Earth. Why don't they get in touch? One of the rules in space is not to interfere in the affairs of any planet. They have a base on the moon, NASA will never tell you about it.

@@akmalkholikulov2558 u stupid..

That’s a good analogy!!

In other words humans are thick?

Great comment .i was commenting on Wales and dolphins. We don’t know what they’re talking about, but they are super intelligent. They understand us more than we them

I'm cackling that there are whales and dolphins somewhere saying "Dude, we saw humans, they were in the water, and some were riding on top of it!" and there's another dolphin or whale saying "You are such a liar. People don't exist." Much like humans who claim to have seen UFOs/UAPs. @@drstew1

Thats the best analys !!! 🎉🎉🎉

Or, just use ants on Earth. They are the only living beings here with only three colonies. One on an island in the middle of Lake Huron, one on an island in the middle of Lake Victoria, and one on an island in the middle of a lake in China. Us trying to find an alien civilization would be more difficult than one of those ant colonies trying to find one of the other ones.

If ants played sports I'd be interested in them .

Or *plot twist* We are the ants

The difference between us and NHI is much smaller than the difference between ant colonies and us. Ants also do not evolve in any meaningful way. We do.

​@@williamdrijver4141do you know how crazy you sound? Ants don't evolve? What do you mean...physically? You honestly think they were created WITH PURPOSE? They didn't evolve to communicate through pheromones? Didn't evolve to tend to the earth and soil the way they do? Haven't evolved to protect their queen and form chains of command? Of course they evolve...just like any and every other living organism on this planet.

Correct. More likely to find evidence on Mars of a now-dead civilization.

Many read not the bible, thats why they are easily amazed by whatever this world brings worth. Once Bible becomes daily reading, clear and truthful answers are always known and the amazement about topics calms down. Aliens are fallen angels offspring, all these insane hybrid creatures: giants = half humans/ half angels animal headed people = half animals/ half humans bird headed people = half birds / half humans + creatures created underground labs + governments fooling mankind with project blue beam. Fallen angels are also the creation of GOD and hybrids are fallen copy creation. Angles cannot create, only GOD can. There is none who comes from extraterrestrial places - made up places to fool mankind. Fallens are lucked up, as we read the bible, only lucifer and his kids, the hybrids are "hunting and ghosting" on earth. For them there is no heaven created, only hell and the lake of fire for them. That places their fate to stay on earth after their bodily deaths and become demons/evil spirits. Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Souls, read BIBLE KJV and be informed by all topics needed, continue not to live with the lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Leave them alone...we don't like ourselves so we won't like them.

That is the most important factor of all.

Plus, I read, the radio waves since we started using them, haven't reached anywhere near anything yet.

Thanks for this summary. I'm confused though, why are galactic civs incentivized to destroy others upon discovery?

@@egodrunk I suppose there will always be something or someone looking to destroy, we see evidence of that on our own planet, so I would assume there are hostile Aliens in the universe as well, but who knows.

@@egodrunk I think because of limited resources. since life is fairly abundant (in the theory)

overpopulation is the underlying assumption here. Overpopulation, along with nuclear weapons, is the fundamental indicator of a self-destructive civilisation. Any alien civilisation advanced enough to colonise the galaxy would have made it past the self-destructive stage and have a stable population that obviates the need for violent territorialism and colonialism. Just sayin'

@@egodrunk It comes down to what the author calls 'the chain of suspicion'. Essentially, if you discover another civilisation, you must determine if that civilisation is hostile or benevolent. If they pose a threat to you, or may one day pose a threat to you, your best option to ensure your own survival is to eliminate them. If they look benevolent to you, that's great, but how do they know you mean them no harm? Even if you appear to come in peace, how can they completely trust that you mean it? This chain of suspicion happens with humans (take the Cuban missile crisis as an example, where it almost led to all out nuclear war because neither side wanted to give an inch) but as we are all the same species and the differences between countries are small, the chain of suspicion is short and can be overcome. Between interstellar races however, the differences are far greater and the chain can grow to be all-encompassing. A channel called Quinn's Ideas explores the concept in depth from about 12:50 onwards in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DjoICDmv4oM.html and will explain it better than me, but I highly recommend reading Cixin Liu's trilogy. It's some of the best sci fi I've read in a while.

So, if you're born and raised in a small town in Sweden you're going to think the guy who shoplifts and smokes cigarettes is the worst type of person possible, until you go to the US. If you're from a bad part of the US you'll think your neighborhood is the worst, until you go to a favela in Brazil. What I'm telling you is that your sample size is ONE for intelligent civilizations, what this means is that FOR ALL YOU KNOW we are the absolute BEST species in existence in terms of morals and altruism. I mean, we certainly are on our own planet, look at how TERRIFYINGLY BRUTAL every single part of nature is. Male lions murder the cubs of other male lions. Just look at baboons in GENERAL. Look at parasites. We are BY FAR the nicest species in existence on Earth. There are no other species' on earth taking steps to STOP THE EXTINCTION of another species. I don't know what this weird urge is to know literally nothing about any other civilization but still want to shit on humans as being the worst, so many people have it and it's WEIRD.

@@reddillon8425 wow! You sound a little angry. You’ve made a bit of an over generalization error regarding my comments. I too am a big fan of humanity, and what we are capable of. I absolutely believe there is so much good going on in the world that we are just not paying attention to it. That said you cannot deny there is so much bullshit going on in this planet because of humanity. Wars, corruption, greed, fear mongering, hate, pollution. So the statements that I’ve made are based upon relative assumptions based on what I know about humanity, and what it would take to visit this planet from somewhere else. A. Any species capable of interstellar travel, has likely evolved beyond its own flaws and extinction event to survive, thrive, and indulge exploration on a scale far beyond what we have achieved. B. Any species that has survived its own extinction event has likely matured regarding its theological, biological, and emotional evolution to coexist, so as to not kill each other C. Any species that is evolved beyond war and fear likely has vastly different cultures and paradigms on life. Being capable of interstellar travel will likely mean they have all the means necessary to live comfortably, and would have no necessity to invade and subjugate species on other planets. D. So compared to us, I feel it’s a pretty safe assumption they would likely be quite virtuous and compassionate compared to us. Sure I could be wrong, but I have my reasons as stated above. Your analogy about wild animals, killing each other seems a bit flawed to me. Male lions will kill the Cubs of other male lions to ensure the strength of the pride. It also reduces mouths to feed and ensures that the alpha male lions cubs will survive. People, however, will screw each other over For money or social media clout. We murder people in other countries for our theologies and their resources. Hell sometimes we murder people just because we are having a bad day. So I would say that humanity is capable of great things, both virtuous and horrific. Far beyond what wild animals do. And as for animals, preventing extinction, nature has been taken care of that for them. As prey becomes insufficient predators will decrease in numbers. That then allows prey to flourish, which follows success for predators. The cycle goes on. I appreciate your willingness to comment. And while I could be wrong, you seemed a bit stinky and nasty about it. I’m not looking to troll anyone or to be trolled by anyone. But I’d love to discuss and debate things.

A few more centuries of evolution and we could be worthy of a first contact visitation. In the meantime, lets try and find a way to stop killing each other.

Keep them shit analogies to yourself mate 👌🏻

So one problem is the vast distances between solar systems.

@@deanalbertson7203 Yeah, that's the big one. Anyone capable of making a star-journey would have technology indistinguishable from magic. Disguises, no trouble at all. Probably use robots or androids in any case.

@@briankerr4512We don’t know that, what if it’s their way to take us over without conflict?

This is a underrated comment.. Regardless of all the possibilities the universe holds, what you say is true. Just like technology being “magic” to those in our past.

That plus the fact that Cox is too dumb to mention to you the likeliest possibility of finding evidence of extraterrestrial civilization is through artifacts left on Mars.

@@akmalkholikulov2558 Source "Trust me bro"

I believe this is true. They’re already here we just aren’t able to see them

That's part of what keeps us advancing. The horrors we commit upon one another breeds creativity to overcome. We cause problems then solve them and that advances science. Look at medical discoveries linked to nazi death camps and unit 731. Horrible atrocities and war crimes but we advanced heavily in the medical field as a result.

@@robnelson3355 yes, but that is only one small example for humanity advancing during war times.

@@robnelson3355 Our absolute greatest advances tend to happen with the brilliance of a few select people who completely changed our world. This happens regardless of wars or horrors and if I had to guess, it happens more in peaceful times since that gives these people time to research their passion instead of being forced into a particular application or worse, drafted as footsoldiers.

We're probably more remorselessly barbaric, violent and we act like children as a species, that's probably how they would see it. They probably know we are smart enough to learn complicated things, but they would see no value in how much we are able to comprehend. They'd avoid us, I wouldn't blame them either.

We are no more dangerous to an advanced civilization than a squirrel is dangerous to you. They would have the tech to exterminate us at will if necessary.

Okay... But if they are the zookeepers (more advanced), aren't they the dangerous ones? Why worry about bullets and bombs when they have exotic materials? 😂

.... our beliefs riddled with superstition and paranoid projection with regard to anything we can't comprehend... probably not worth tampering with or possibly unrecognizable from a higher intelligence...

We all are different but honestly I don’t even think we are toddlers. I think we are more like destructive and less intelligent than ants comparatively.

Heck, our scientists can't find 95% of The Universe.

Brian is NOT a fan of Giorgio.

That doesn't really work at all as a 'theory' though does it, if given any more than a nanosecond of thought. 'Our governments keep all findings a secret humanity is not ready to know about' - Those same governments of 195 countries have somehow managed to come to some sort of unilateral agreement over hiding all this super alien woo...yet remain ideologically, politically, sociologically and economically divided in literally dozens of ways, and more, and in some cases antagonistically so, but they are firmly committed to keeping the alien stuff secret. It just doesn't work as an idea does it.

Basic logic and reason doesn't require a degree, let alone a doctorate, in astrophysics.

@@allanshpeley4284 Excellent point. You should build submarines for rich, white dudes.

Correct--Cox is dumb by not considering evidence of previous civilizations exists on Mars.

I agree

Lots of people believe lots of things. Doesn't make them true or untrue. Evidence is the only thing that counts.

Correct. I am the leader.

Was it really that rare for things to smash into each other in the early days of the solar system? Our moon is indeed big , but not uniquely so in our solar system. Pluto and Charon are also believed to have been formed by collision, and Charon is half the diameter of Pluto.

@@AlexanderYap Our moon is freakishly large for the size of our planet.

@@andyklapper8484 Our moon's diameter is about a quarter that of the Earth's. Charon's diameter is about half that of Pluto's. Charon is considered one of Pluto's moons. So while a large moon (relative to the planet) might be uncommon, it is not unique even in our solar system.

@@AlexanderYap Pluto isn't a planet. It certainly isn't a planet that can support life, and that is what we are talking about. Look at the planets in or near the habitable zone, our moon is freakishly large.

You could actually assume both hypotheses. Maybe the reason ET is zookeeper to our "ant hill" is precisely because we are so very rare.

I've heard a hypothesis that there is an alien species who has been here for thousands of years that feeds on our emotions and interferes in our affairs to help drive conflict or other extreme emotional states on a mass level for sustenance.

Earth really doesn't like us, does it?

Perverts. That's why I always keep my blinds drawn.

I don't think relocation is realistically possible. We'd be long gone before we can develop any technology remotely advanced enough to make this feat possible

But, IF a civilisation managed to survive early emergence and continued, it's also possible that it could start to inhabit vast regions for vast periods of time. We don't at present see anything like that though. Such a puzzle.

@@sroberts605 It's impossible to colonise vast regions given the distances involved. Even speed of light is too slow for these distances and that is the speed of causality hence nothing is faster. We don't see anyone else because it is simply impossible to travel interstellar distances.

We need to put some gatekeeping on the word "opinion" you shouldn't just be able to say anything you want with literally no evidence and then call that an "opinion" "opinion" should be like "theory," a theory REQUIRES evidence to be a theory, and an opinion should be the same. That's referring to the first half of your comment, "they are here," well no they almost certainly are not because we would know it. But the last half of your comment, yes it's almost a statistical certainty that there is life SOMEWHERE in the universe.

@@reddillon8425 "Opinion" is not the same as "Theory"; in fact, they are entirely different. And yes, there is evidence; it's just that you may not have it. Lastly, if they are a species much more advanced than ours, they would know how to hide perfectly, and we wouldn't realize they are among us. Or perhaps they are not hiding completely and are waiting for us to stop being so foolish, to stop fighting among ourselves, and to look around and realize it for ourselves.

Old school indeed. Evidence-based science.

That’s a good point, everyone is obsessed about these wonderful advanced civilisations a billion years ahead of us when the reality could be they’re as dumb as we used to be😂 or they’re still single cells 🤣

Which hypothesis? Brian Cox was saying we just don't know. Given the evidence that's all we can say right now. Everything else is just empty speculation. You can't talk about probability when you only have one sample (our own planet). Untill other life is found you can't possibly say how probable it is. You can say it's possible, but not probable, and it's equally possible that we're all there is.

@@littlefluffybushbaby7256 That's what defines a hypothesis, otherwise it'd be a theory. The probability thing is basically what I said? I was being hypothetical, hence the word if.

@@deeespinal9666 I'm saying that if there is an intelligent lifeform out there observing us, we can establish intelligent life outside of earth exists without a doubt. With trillions of galaxies existing for billions of years, we should have been able to detect something. The universe should be filled with signals by now. For example, even if only 0,0000001% of all intelligent life would end up using radio signals for 50 years at a time, we'd be still be bombarded with them from all sides.

So any civilisation that has reached where we are, but in the past, still has 5 billion years to escape the death of their sun.

That would be the aliens themselves then because they could make themselves obviously known if they wished it to be so.

@@oceandrop7666 possibly but what if they are leaving that responsibility up to humanity … they are prepared to hint at their existence but the official confirmation must come from Man …. Perhaps.
