I just can't stop thinking of what if aliens find Voyager 1, decrypt the Golden Record and go to Earth, only to find that humanity has gone extinct a few hundred thousand years prior. Imagine they find that record and see all our culture, how rich it is and all, for them it might even be the first alien life they find too. And then they reach Earth and find ruins. Would be heart wrenching.
They would still at least have some remains of what humanity used to be like, artefacts, maybe even some living beings, just not humans. Who knows, they may even come across the legendary “iPhone”
What is even more astonishing is that the scientists fixed a glitch on the voyager 1 from earth that was built before 1977. Truly humans are an amazing outcome of this universe!
Why not tho? Their technology path could be entirely different from us.Their technology path could be biological. Maybe they are so advanced that our equipment couldn't receive their Singal. Or Maybe they are just like us, No FTL travel tech yet. The safest option is to use Voyager.
What do you know, well you aren't supposed to know a lot of these things you don't even voyager could design a civilization without half your technologies that the proper idealism for this modern society is the end of science and technology, we just do experiments to learn things we should know or be aware of not doing, thst it's a business itself that will collapse humanity they want to space travel? We need to learn to live in the world and forget about the unknown genesis of a universe and advanced technology and architecture
Fun fact: Voyager 1 was launched in 1977 and as of 2024, it has been travelling for 47 years. Almost for 47 years but it hasn't even completed one percent of 1 Light Year unit. This is how massive a single light year is. And our universe (observable) is estimated to be 93-95 Billion light years wide. Even among the brightest mind of human civilization, the number is still not easy to comprehend when we think about it deeply. Next time you get a chance to explain the size of the universe, use this fact.
Voyager 1 is hopefully going to stay with us. sadly theres a chance it gets eaten by a black hole or burnt to space crisps when encountering a star, it has gone a long way.
It's unlikely any of that will happen. It could drift right through the core if the Milkyway (barring Sag-A*), fly straight through and leave the Milkyway altogether and never hit anything. The odds of it being roasted by a star are unfathomably small. The odds of a black hole are even smaller. Heck, I'd bet we have a greater chance of encountering aliens or colonising Mars before Voyager encounters a star or black hole
@@autisticinterstatesign incorrect. Voyager 1 is not travelling in the direction of Alpha Centauri, which is our closest star. If it were to travel there, it would "only" take around 60,000 - 80,000 years. Not half a billion which is 500,000,000 years, clearly not 80,000
Imagine if they turn it on and see a GIANT alien (the size of a galaxy) in the distance, sitting on rock like Jabba The Hut & there’s planets orbiting it.
@@theofficialgreenkane9645 it's clear Ur a kid by saying that. If an alien was the size of a galaxy, he would have the mass of a galaxy and pull everything (including Earth) towards it. Also we would've seen it if it's the size of a galaxy eve from Earth.
It is uncanny to think that maybe someday in the unimaginable future, Voyager will be what proves to another sentient life out there that they are not alone, or more so WEREN'T alone, that sentience has happened before.
Under a minute! i really like your way of editing and teaching! I'm a highschool student and these videos motivate me that there's something more out there bigger than trigonometry. ❤️ Thanks for posting
Imagine if by some crazy possibility it somehow reaches earth again and the files of it are lost so people believe it is a spacecraft sent by aliens and when they read the disk they are surprised to see that it is extremely similar to our earths history
@@ElenarMT The only way I could see this happening is if it gets gravitationally pulled by a few celestial bodies that just happen to shoot it back towards our direction
It could also work like this: You know how AstroKobi said, and in general, it's gonna orbit the milky way just like the sun, and well, maybe in like 300 million years, it encounters the sun again and enters the solar system again. But the odds of us actually detecting it are quite small since it's really hard for us to detect such small objects such as Voyager 1.
To this day, whenever I see the famous “Pale Blue Dot”, I think to myself, all 8 billion of us live on that one pixel. All our memories, sadness, happiness, depression everything in within that one pixel. Damn I love space.
@AstroKobi do you really think we were interested in a video from you today? I hope so, because damn, you make excellent videos. It's always a joy to see a new video from you
Finally! About year ago i was soo interested in Voyager 1, but i couldnt find any interesting videos about it like yours. Thank you for making this video :)
It would be really nice if the voyagers camera would be turned on one last time, since it's gonna run out of power soon anyway. I'm curious to know what we might see
I can recall a scifi short story, decades ago - can't remember the author. The story ending with a holographic recording saying to a human explorer on a far distant planet, "But - these aren't our ruins - they're yours!"
I really like to watch your videos and shorts everytime you post , the whole thing like editing , voice over , sound mixing and amazing space facts which you tell us!. Plz i need daily videos like this 🙏
All it takes is light to power up....image thousands of years from now and someone something recaptures its transmission. If mankind is still around it would be an epic achievement.
Voyager 1 is now in the helios zone... Idk if she can track or back online this is the only way to sample the heliosphere in the interstellar space zone
Imagine if we able to make a spacecraft faster than speed f life or able to open the wormhole and go past voyager and took it back home , just like going fast it seeing from the window of the spacecraft taking it in and everyone is crying idk why but it sounds so emotional.
Thank you for your content! I’m an American and I cannot watch anything political right now. Politics has me completely bummed and feeling hopeless, content such as this inspires me and reminds me…. Breathe. Take it one day at a time (and just avoid politics right now lol)
The part waiting into the sponsor section is so sad and then all of a sudden happy but no voyager one don’t die, bro. I’m actually sad for voyager one rip when it dies
I like to think of this as humanity’s last vault with that disc holding humanity’s culture in its hands showing our greatest accomplishments it really makes you think
Won't it have trouble going through the OORT Cloud with all those asteroids? Does it sense those possible collisions ? I'm a nerd but I have much to learn. I'm very curious about space in general, nevermind this astounding, mind bending, and I feel very lucky to be here . Thanks very much Astrokobi !!!
10000 years from now on an alien planet there will be extreme breaking news. "LIFE CONFIRMED TO EXIST OUTSIDE OUR PLANET" Some alien planet may get our voyager or we will get another alien planet's "voyager"
Im always wondering why cant we send new generations of voyagers, with our current technology is would be wayyyy better and more advanced than the current voyager right now, and last longer
They will not. Trying to travel Space with the current kind of drives is absurd. We first need to find other means before even thinking about it. Rocket drives are not the way.
Kobi, what do you think will happen first? An alien civilization will find voyager and the golden record, or we will develop the technology and rendezvous with it somewhere in the cosmos?
NASa / V1 can only make contact with each other via the radar arrays in the US and Spain, while NASA / V2 can only communicate with each other via the radar arrays in Australia.
We'll lose contact with Voyager 1 sure, but we'll never really lose it as it's carrying us and our footprint. We'll be long gone and V1 will be out there doing it's bit for us.
Its hsrd to believe that after an extra 34 years of travelling since the last photo was taken, that we would still be able to see the sun and the planets from yhe voyager 1 photo if they turned the camera back on
