Finding alien life on a distant planet would be amazing news - or would it? If we are not the only intelligent life in the universe, this probably means our days are numbered and doom is certain.

Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell Hey one quick quesion. What if we and some other living species are past the great filter. That would mean that maybe we are not the first but those who are infact the first, arent a type 3 nor a type 2 civilization so we cant know for sure. That means the filter we have passed but we arent the first to do so. Right?

@rejerh8731 5 лет назад

1 big omission... we might not be evolved enough to identify super civilizations. The predicate that we observe and understand every single cosmical object is wrong. Also, we have no knowledge of how harvesting a star or a galaxy could be done, how could we identify it is being done? (We barely manage to identify planets around stars a few decades ago) Plus we are still receiving "old" lights from far away places of the universe. The further we look the older it is and therefore the more our view of what exists right now at these places is out dated. Maybe harvesting a galaxy has already been done somewhere far away but we just have not receive the light to show us it has yet. Many more hypothesis that can be made that remove the fermi paradox.

Love your channel but will disagree on that one, we have no idea if 100 years is enough or it is a million to overcome, our planet will exist potentially much longer, and we still do not posses the power of destruction of that scale, we may wipe out each other and that is most likely scenario for the great filter but we may not assume that a brief moment as 100 years will reveal the outcome of our deeds.

@zacnewman7140 Год назад

An interesting thing about the great oxygenation event (which predated and enabled the development of multicelular life) is that it's a strong candidate for being The Great Filter. Physics is physics, and therefore organic chemistry is organic chemistry. Therefore the early life on any planet is going to have a chance to stumble onto photosynthesis. The thing is the early pre-photosynthesis Earth was being kept warm by methane, but that had to be coming from somewhere. Quite possibly early single cell bacteria itself. Once oxygen production really got going and oxygen started leaking out of the oceans into the atmosphere it bound up all that methane into other compounds and caused a near global ice age. That presents early life with two different ticking time bombs. If life waits too long to start producing oxygen that thickening blanket of methane eventually turns Earth into Venus. Broils the planet and kills everything. On the other side if life figures out that trick too early then the resulting ice age is even worse, and if life is completely wiped out then when volcanic and solar activity melts things again what's left isn't the same primordial soup because of all the oxygen reacting to things. The initial state of free organic molecules is quite possibly a one-time opportunity. We threaded a needle that might be a _lot_ narrower than we realize.

What's more it's suspected that the subsequent melting of the ice and erosion of land washed a ton of nutrients into the ocean and that this could have been the trigger for the development of multi-cellular life. So this might even be a necessary step or at least something that sped up evolution by billions of years.

I've often kind of felt like an alien race advanced enough to discover other life planets would also be advanced enough not to have any desire to travel to them.

@wren_. Год назад

That makes a lot of sense. For civilization to grow that much they must be highly social and empathetic. Perhaps that embassy leads them to the conclusion that if there is life out there in the universe, they shouldn’t mess with it until it’s ready to be messed with, kind of like what we do with uncontacted tribes in the Amazon. Although that definitely depends on the civilization, just look at the conquistadors. hopefully aliens smart enough to leave their planet would also be smart enough to leave us alone

@@fart63 Only if they are advanced enough. A civilisation below type 2.5 might still be sympathetic enough to us to not mine our planet for resources or harvest our star. Even if there were civilisations that would destroy us without a second thought, they would probably be so powerful that they wouldn't feel the need to destroy or even notice us in the first place (even though we stomp on bugs, there far more bugs that we haven't stomped on in the wild). It's also rather arrogant to believe aliens will have the same mindset as us, as the evolutionary niches they fill on their planet will likely carry on to their ideology as a species (e.g. a life form that has many symbiotic relationships might progress into a civilisation that values other forms of life far more then us)

@zkistler Год назад

You are probably assuming that "highly advanced" civilizations have perfected the art of thinking critically and can always with 100% certainty determine if something is worth doing or not. However for such a hypothetical civilization to discover other life implies either a curiosity about the universe or the desire to harvest resources, both of which would bring them to Earth if they can travel that far (and efficiently).

Well or something.

Our observation tech is good, but it isn't capable of really making out anything smaller than whole planets if several lightyears away. At times, astronomers have to work with dots, or starlight and its magnitude to suspect that a planet is there.

@bugdestroyer1258 Год назад

What if the filter is internal discourse? Almost everyone yearns for world peace, because world peace would allow us to focus on the small problems slowly breaking us apart. We would be able to speed up research immensely with cooperation, and we would never be under the threat of war, dictators, or lack of resources. But internal discourse is nearly impossible to eliminate, since that would mean 8 billion minds would have to converge on one single idea. Only a hivemind would be able to solve this, and that might have problems on its own. Technology allows a single being to become so powerful that it separates one from another. But space travel is impossible without these inventions. The world is one bomb away from dying out completely. The launch of one nuke would trigger every other country that has access to fire their own. Only 50 25,000 megaton bombs would send the world into a nuclear winter killing crops.

@Noical Год назад

25,000 megaton bombs don’t exist. The most powerful ever was only 57 megatons.

@fart63 Год назад

But hive minds do exist in life dont they? Ants and bees being two examples. Isn’t it small minded to assume all intelligent life the same as us? Couldn’t a hive mind species from the great beyond exist and become intelligent?

@bugdestroyer1258 Год назад

@@fart63 but even in those groups there is likely some discourse, as i said before, one individual getting power through technology (which is inevitable if you ever want to travel through space) sets the entire thing off balance. Bees and ants dont have this technology, and arent intelligent.

@hencethebeetroot Год назад

@@fart63 Sure. In fact, if we found alien life I think it would be our individuality that surprises them most. I feel the big problem with that just being commonplace is the fact that things like greed, territorialism, and the desire to conquer were all things that pushed humans (and possibly much of alien life) to planet-wide dominance; much like how sugars tasting sweet was desirable when it was hard to come by, but now often leads to humans eating much more than they should. Honestly, ants and bees do amazing things for their small size and lack of opposable thumbs. Bees construct hanging complexes, and ants build theirs underground. Bees refine pollen into nutritious honey to feed their colonies, and some species of ants use agriculture to raise fungi. Frankly, I think the main thing limiting them from becoming a dominant species is their very instinctual behavior. So it's not impossible to pass through this barrier, just hard - and that's exactly what a great filter is.

@mrvk39 11 месяцев назад

it's a common proposition, along with a great filter, to the Fermi paradox. Why we haven't seen any evidence of other civilizations? Because there is a very advanced civilization in our galaxy that systematically destroys all civilizations as they reach the technological point of beginning interstellar travel or some other technological milestone. Maybe, our own curiosity is our doom.

While it's constructive to think out this problem, it's important to realize that we really have no idea whether the filter is behind or in front of us or which is more likely. There are so many variables associated with the concept of a great filter, almost all of which we don't know. Even the world's leading scientists would just be throwing darts at a colossal dart board. The emergence of the first eukaryotic cell could have had a one-in-trillions chance of happening, then there's the step to intelligence, the survival and evolution of that intelligence...the likelihood of each step occurring as it did is practically incalculable because we just don't have any relevant, reliable data to reference. Considering the probability of the great filter being ahead of us is impossible as we are now.

@suntorytimes1 6 месяцев назад

@@mrsillytacos It's basically "begging the question", i.e. assuming the conclusion in the premises. Firstly, there's no proof that alien civilizations would want to spread, it's just an assumption. Secondly, there could be many different reasons why, even if they'd want to, they would have not reached us: maybe they're too far to be able to reach us before we become extinct, maybe they lived a very long time ago, maybe they're so different we couldn't recognise them, maybe they don't want to be seen or heard, maybe they went a different way, and so on. And thirdly, there can be a lot of reasons why they became extinct: maybe they ran out of resources, or they were exterminated by some kind of illness, or by some other species, or their life cycle ended somehow. The point is we don't know anything about them, and whatever we can come up with is just wild speculation. So that there can be only one cause, one "Great Filter", is just one big, unfounded assumption; in other words, it's BS. But I agree with the OC: the story, music, animation and narration are all top-notch, and that is - unfortunately - what makes this video so compelling, when it should be facts; of which this video is, sadly, almost completely devoid.

Personally I hold out hope that the people who are classified as the "stupid" and so on that don't think through things at least have their own reasons and can problem solve. Though with the fact that school is zero learning and all parroting it seems nowadays the only way people really get problem solving skills is one of two main ways. Either 1, they don't have the generic super protective parent and decide to try a bunch of stuff out (which has psychologists and better places to "play" being done some places) or 2, they've gotten to the age where they don't have a choice and have to learn to take care of themselves. Sorta like one of the lines in Matilda from the narrator "She learned what most people learn in their early 30s. How to take care of herself". Not sure how well it holds up nowadays but I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

Everyhting from techtonic plates to the influence of things like Jupiter and the Moon. It's possible that there is no paradox at all, and no great filters behind us. Instead there have been hundreds or thousands of different minor filters, each with varying chances to occur.

Thanks for actually acknowledging those probabilities are unknown. It's frustrating when people say, "Well the universe is so massive of course there are other civilizations out there". The very act of life forming could be such a low probability that we literally could be the only planet with life in the entire universe. Those who watch star trek don't want to even consider this possibility, but we actually don't know how life spontaneously forms on a planet. Much less evolved to the point that you can have a sentient species. Evolution itself has huge holes right now as the probability of proteins even forming is a genetic near impossibility based on random mutations. Either proteins forming were insanely lucky (meaning the rest of the universe is screwed) or our understanding of random mutations and evolution is incorrect.

@@heavypokelover5532 You know, scientists always tried to explain the world as we know it, starting with greek scholars and ending now with the modern physicists. Science is not really that melodramatic, it's just a neutral state, regardless of feelings. This is the true beauty of the exact sciences. No interpretation, no biases. So, that guy's comment really doesn't sum up this video's point at all.

The first principle of the 'Great Filter Theory' is that not being able to pick up signals from distant alien civilizations is somehow strange, and the problem with this principle is we won't know if it's strange or not until we receive a single clear and discernible signal from a distant part of space. It seems very plausible that over the distances of hundreds or thousands of light years, every radio signal we've ever sent is nothing more than background fuzz, not even discernible above the radiation of our own sun let alone millions of others, plus pulsars and black holes and perhaps the howling cacophany of a few thousand other alien radio stations on that exact same band.

Option 3 possibly the higher a civilization expands the less likely the great filter even exists for them since the great filter should be different for each civilization

@kocour.micash 5 лет назад

wtf ur talking about? aliens = doom ? yeah normie shit. theres fucking lot of galaxies, there has to be any kind of life, and if its smarter and advanced then it doesnt have to mean theyre going to be bad, i think they would like to contact us, if theyre advanced so much they can lazer us in a second. If we were advanced than we are now and we would find an alien life, we would be just good and try to alliance them. you know, if we were the dounf by the aliens, why would they be bad? they have community just like us and they wouldnt like it.

What if the filter is just space travel? There could be many happy, thriving solar systems where the species lives on all the planets in that solar system, but there isn't a galactic civilisation because stars are just stupidly far away from each other. That's a positive idea worth mentioning, surely.

yeah, what if one of the big things all other civilizations discover is that if you enter a black hole, you end up in an eternal blow job universe. Cant ditch this backwater universe fast enough.

I don't think the filter would be something that means death for everyone, it could just be something impossible to cross through practicality. Like there's not enough resources in the home solar system to reach other stars which are extremely far away, or something. Finding alien bacteria wouldn't mean we're doomed to destroy ourselves in that case.
