The Universe is incredibly big and seems full of potential for life, with billions of habitable planets. If an advanced civilization had the technology to travel between the stars, at just 0.1% of the speed of light, It could colonize our galaxy in roughly 100 million years. Which is not that long given the billions of years the milky way has existed - so in principle any spacefaring civilization should be able to spread rapidly over huge sectors of the galaxy. And yet we see nothing, hear nothing, the universe seems empty. Devoid of others. This is the Fermi Paradox, which we have discussed in more detail in other videos.
Confronted with the seemingly empty universe, humanity faces a dilemma. We desperately want to know if we are alone in the Milky Way. We want to call out and reveal ourselves to anyone watching but that could be the last thing we ever do. Because maybe the universe is not empty. Maybe it’s full of civilizations but they are hiding from each other. Maybe the civilizations that attracted attention in the past were wiped away by invisible arrows. This is the Dark Forest solution to the Fermi paradox.

If this video made you curious and you like reading great and long sci fi books, check out the three body problem by Liu Cixin, who formulated the dark forest idea for the first time. And with that, we say good bye to the year 12,021. It truly was a wild time, and passed so, so quickly. For us at the Kurzgesagt team it was full of changes and achievements and we learned so much and tried so many new things. And we have so many exciting ideas and projects that we can’t wait to share with you next year! I know I say this often but doing Kurzgesagt really is just such a joy. We only can do this because of you, so thank you so, so much. We appreciate it more than you might imagine. Have wonderful holidays and get safely into the year 12,022. We’ll see you on the other side! - Philipp PS: And if you want to help us do what we do, check out our store with sciency products made with love: kgs.link/shop-156

@@King-mz8xe The best of the series. I finished the third book on a plane today. Liu Cixin has always been good about painting vivid imagery with words, and in the third book, he goes all in on describing the bizarre, the horrifying, the grotesque, and the hauntingly beautiful. He also tightens up the story, cutting out the unnecessary plot threads, and develops the ones he leaves behind all the way to their ultimate conclusion. It also has the most speculative ideas, the most imaginitive, the most optimistic, and the most terrifying.

@@Viltris I thought the 3rd was the worst because of some of the character decisions and humanity's reactions to certain things. Just didn't add up. I still love the series as a whole though.

I think my favorite part is the world building of Trisolaris. Just fascinating and I hope the Netflix series does it justice. Dark Forest was my favorite.

The 'first strike' concept only works if you're certain the other species only lives on one planet. Any species capable of waging interstellar war is likely living on several planets, hundreds of giant space stations, and probably some moons too. The first strike wipes out a planet, sure... maybe you hit several- but if you don't get them all then you've made an enemy for the rest of that species' entire existence. Not only that, assume that 10% of the species survived elsewhere, they're going to spread out even more- to minimize the chance of being targeted. Such a tactic would certainly work against humans, we would be wiped out except for a slowly starving ISS, but against another species capable of reaching out across stars, it would be very difficult to execute.

@maclain728 4 дня назад

That’s kinda my thinking. Even if we were to detect radio transmissions from deep space, it would probably be better to wait until humans have colonized Mars and have a significant portion of the species total population in space. If we keep progressing like we are, that’s definitely feasible within the next half millennia

@tomkandy 2 года назад

The Killing Star has the best summary of this idea; "We ask that you try just one more thought experiment. Imagine yourself taking a stroll through Manhattan, somewhere north of 68th street, deep inside Central Park, late at night. It would be nice to meet someone friendly, but you know that the park is dangerous at night. That's when the monsters come out. There's always a strong undercurrent of drug dealings, muggings, and occasional homicides. It is not easy to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys. They dress alike, and the weapons are concealed. The only difference is intent, and you can't read minds. Stay in the dark long enough and you may hear an occasional distance shriek or blunder across a body. How do you survive the night? The last thing you want to do is shout, "I'm here!" The next to last thing you want to do is reply to someone who shouts, "I'm a friend!" What you would like to do is find a policeman, or get out of the park. But you don't want to make noise or move towards a light where you might be spotted, and it is difficult to find either a policeman or your way out without making yourself known. Your safest option is to hunker down and wait for daylight, then safely walk out. There are, of course, a few obvious differences between Central Park and the universe. There is no policeman. There is no way out. And the night never ends."

@anishap2000 2 года назад

@@Cronos988 Yes, building a big gun really would be one of the ways, but that's a call for war. How do we know how 'big' of a gun is actually big enough? What preparations our opponents have made? Without knowing that, it's still a risk stepping out and making yourself known like that. If we can't know the nature or intent of those on the other side, we also cannot be sure of our chances of survival. True, not everyone is equal and that's for sure, but we haven't heard or found anything from these hunters to determine the ranking of strongest to weakest. We can't know who's more powerful. There could easily be civilizations farther off than us. Hence, the least we can do is not make our presence known so that we can stay safe. Thrive beneath the covers, threat-free until someone finds us. At some point we may have to though. This planet alone doesn't seem sufficient to satiate growing human population and desires.

@DraconisV2 Год назад

I love that this was tackled in Stellaris! There's a new Origin in the game called Fear of the Dark wherein Venus was totally destroyed by a freak asteroid causing a huge division on Earth on whether the incident is a malicious attack or just a freak accident and is nothing more than mere paranoia. This division led to a lot of people terraforming and colonizing Mars in order to escape Earth because of the belief that somewhere out there, there is someone purposely targeting our home planet in order to destroy it. Ok this next bit is a spoiler so don't continue if you have plans on playing the game with this Origin. Basically, after years of exploration and progress in the game, you'll later find out that in a nearby solar system, an unknown species of alien had built a huge space cannon and was using all their resources in their home system to create huge bullets to attack nearby systems that they had detected that contains life. However, because of the unique gravity of Jupiter on our Sol system that protects us from most asteroids, this huge bullet that was aimed at Earth was actually reorientated by the gravity into destroying Venus instead. By the time that you discover this truth, the alien species that had done the attack are already dead with their home planet barren with life and the space cannon inoperable. It seems that the unknown species was so paranoid that it believed in the idea that any life out there is a threat to their existence which then led to the construction of a space cannon that will guarantee that they will be the one to do the first strike rather than be a victim of one. This paranoia however led to them depleting all the resources in their solar system without even inventing FTL travel which then caused mass extinction of their species, which is fortunate for Earth because it meant that a second strike will never arrive. At this point, the player will have a decision to turn into a Fanatic Purifier since it was proven that aliens in the galaxy are actually willing to exterminate you when given the chance and also a big "I told you so!" from the colonists who fled Earth to Mars. That, or you can stay as a Xenophile and declare that yes, some aliens are bad, but not all of them are out to get you. In the end, you'll get an achievement named "Dark Forest" if you convert into a Fanatic Purifier and eliminate all life in the galaxy, from the most advanced ones, down to the alien species that are still stuck in the stone ages.

Assuming there is indeed a danger in doing so, all civilizations may go through a period of 'not yet knowing better.' Your assertion also implies that 'everyone' (especially if they're not also already talking to each other) will respond to awareness of our presence in the same way. Some may reach out if sufficiently gregarious, some may pre-empt, if sufficiently paranoid. Or anything in between. This isn't about what humans do, it's about what enough others may do, to be consistent with the Fermi Paradox.

If you picture the lifespan of the universe's star-forming era as a clock, we popped up in the first second. It may sound unlikely given how big the universe is, but when you take the Great Filters into consideration, we may very well be the first technological civilization in the universe. There may be countless civilizations over the next hundred trillion years, and we will be the "ancient forerunners" to them.

I like to think of the theory where there is a greater network of civilizations out there communicating, maybe traveling, in a way beyond what we can understand now. And they are waiting for us to figure out how to join in on our own. Some day we might make contact and find a galaxy, a universe of creatures and civilizations. It's a lot better to think about than a vast and empty space that we may never traverse. Even it seems unrealistic or unfathomable... humanity has done amazing things, and we have always pushed the boundaries of our knowledge. There's always the possibility we haven't unlocked the key to understanding more.

This reminds me of The First Contact War in the Mass Effect series. Effectively, Humans began colonizing other planets around the galaxy until the Turians found them and attacked them on site, simply because the humans activated a Mass Relay they weren't supposed to activate. This escalated into full on war until the Citadel Council negotiated a peace treaty between the Turians and Humans a couple months later. It was all down to a misunderstanding. The Turians were just doing their jobs of acting as the police and enforcing Council laws, but the Humans, who at this time didn't even know the Council existed, thought that this alien species meant to wipe them out.

The likely reason that we have not encountered alien life, is that beings like ourselves (which i think are likely to be throughout the universe) create new dimensions / universes to pass into before they try to move across open space. Look at a chestnut tree. The chestnuts are far away from each other, for the chestnuts to turn into new trees, they do not need to make contact with eachother, and infact being far apart ensures more space for the chestnuts to drop in fertile ground and therefore aid the multiplication of the tree. If the universe is an evolved structure (Which I think to be highly likely), then it would be advantageous for life to be far apart, so that we do not war with each other and more rapidly create a new realm of information / universes. And so the Universe therefore multiplys. The earth is essentially an egg, and its been fertilesed by life. That life will then create new universes.

@johnappleseed9290 Год назад

I like your way of thinking and it makes sense.. BUT.. my only argument here is that we as humans have only evolved to create technology to aid us in our day to day living here on earth. We’ve created impressive rockets and satellites in order for us to see what is out there in our universe, we are no where near at the level to create any significant difference in chancing our dimension/universal timeline as we go on as a species. I like to look at our evolvement through the Kardashev scale. We aren’t even at type 1, we are sitting between 0.6-0.7 type civilization. In order to make any difference in our way of existence and timeline we would need an enormous amount of energy at a galactic level, that I can see how we can potentially open up new barriers through space and time, by that rate (if humanity is still around) we would be traversing at the speed of light. We haven’t truly even mastered the power of the atom or even left our solar system. We are eons away before we can make an impact at a universal scale.. and most scientist believe humanity will never get to that point due to our Neanderthalish brain still highly active. AI may possibly take over one day and real humans may become a form of Bio-Organic substance that wonder the earth..

I wonder if you could use the clockwork radio principle to power a probe that won’t be needed to be activated for decades, or possibly even longer. Like a probe sent to Alpha Centauri perhaps, with Solar Radiometers on the probe to both activate the probe as it nears the Solar system its aimed towards, and recharge the clockwork mechanism like a giant self rewinding watch that never stops running. The electronics would have to be powered like a clockwork radio, negating the need for batteries or Nuclear power, which will degrade over extremely long periods. This is the issue with the voyager probes as they age, despite the fact that the electronics and computers within the probe are functioning perfectly after nearly half a century of constant use. The probe would have to be large and capable of making independent decisions, which may require a large amount of older hardier computer chips You could even go a step further, and have small landers on the larger probe that could be fired and directed towards other planets. They could be hardy probes, with a self contained non rechargeable clockwork power source of their own. Preferably a hardy probe to gather planetary data quickly, similar to the Venetian and Titan probes of the past. The only issue would be having a secondary rechargeable clockwork mechanism to power the transmitter, which would have to be very powerful for the extremely long distances to earth. Storage of information until broadcast would be vital. If Spacex can reduce the cost of launches further, perhaps we could have a mother ship probe that could launch smaller satellites like a Clockwork Cassinis, to examine planetary systems and their moons, as well as launch the aforementioned smaller probes This is a bit long winded and hypothetical but its worth thinking about…

@couldntcareless7884 2 года назад

That’s not really it. I mean, there are multiple ways to strike, while remaining concealed. Simplest one would be to launch a strike from far away from your home system. The idea isn’t that they watch us. The idea is that they watch everything, striking at the one who reveals themselves. We’re alive because we didn’t.

there is another possibility...life on other planets and their "technologies" may be just incomprehensible for us. Take for example some kind of zerg from Starcraft, who literally grow their ships from biomass and communicate using psionics. We cannot communicate with such aliens. We will not be able to detect such aliens (they do not use radio waves). Our technologies are simply incompatible. And this is a very ... mundane example, because they can be much more bizarre. And they may not necessarily be a carbon-based life form like us. They could be silicon life form for example. Their physiology will be fundamentally different from ours.

Any civilization that makes it to an interstellar level will need to have a lot higher regard for sentient life forms than we do. Otherwise, like us, they'll end up offing themselves long before they get to the point where they can effectively travel the stars.

@dzstoyanov 2 года назад

My logical counter to the dark forest theory after years of thinking is this: - The theory limits living organisms to single planetary civilizations, if you fire first against a multi planetary or nomadic space faring civilization, you’ve made a certain enemy and have not wiped out the civilization. - It assumes imperfect knowledge of the universe. If a civilization has progressed to a state where they have near perfect information about all planets and solar systems in most galaxies, then effectively only primitive civilizations would be operating in a dark forest. A dark forest civilization who has developed effective galaxy wide weapons must consider the logical consequences of “what if there’s someone else watching me”. Using such weapons against another civilization could potentially trigger unknown consequences from 3rd party observers. And thus based on these reasonings, I’m able to sleep well at night.

@thalesv5973 2 года назад

You don't fire from home. You have kill stations spreaded out through interstellar space to shoot down the dangerous civs. Multiplanetary and nomadic civs would know to stay silent in this dangerous galaxy already. And civilizations don't advance to a level of perfect information simply because it considers the galaxy is damn huge and you can't go faster than the speed of light. It's more of a realistic-pessimistic scenario so it considers possible weapons like throwing mass at relativistic speeds at planets or even a star to wipe out the whole star system. You should sleep well at night just because it's damn unlikely anyone actually willing to exterminate us would identify a living and developing species in the solar system from our broken down radio waves and almost non existent space structures.

@TheAtmosfear7 2 года назад

Good observation, one would think there is always a bigger civilisation that keeps the others in check, willingly or not keeping up the status quo. However, who keeps that supreme civilisation in check ?

@ApisIniustus 2 года назад

The problem is that if FTL is indeed a hard limit of the universe, then near perfect information is impossible. A super civilization that detects intelligent life 500 light years away has information that is 500 years outdated. Think about how much technological advancement can occur in that time. Imagine there is a super civilization 100 light years away from Earth. The first radio broadcast that humanity made was in 1920, so they would only about now be capable of detecting it. If they were to immediately send RKVs to every planet in our solar system, they wouldn't get here until well into the 2120's at best, which may be right around the time we might be capable of colonizing those other bodies in our system. And that's for something that's relatively "close". For further civilizations seeing a primitive radio broadcast could indicate that there already exists an advanced civilization there. If you delay until you see clear evidence of malicious behavior, it's already too late to respond to it because *they might have already detected you, and there may already be RKVs headed your way*
