Will We Ever Visit Other Stars? 

How?

There nearly a decade old now and still so good even relevant to new content

I remember when this video came out. I'm the oldest person on earth

Space and science are always relevant

If it went online for the first time today, 2020, it would be considered an amazingly well done video

I thought I was just a wimp lol

well im not scared of it anymore because i only chickened out of this video when i was a little kid

his Saturn V was a Saturn II at best.

I think it's a nice way to die

@EightyNiner hey 🅿️sauce, 🅱️ichael here

Horizontal is best.

Tbf boomers

It was not a rover... it was more of a tiny can

slight correction, it wasnt a rover, it was basically a tin can with a parachute, and what he showed onscreen is only a slice of the few panoramas the craft made, you can go search it up

*Portrait

Also if you had a ridiculously large telescope (tens of lightyears in diameter) and a wormhole that takes you you to a distant galaxy about 65 million light years away you'd even be able see the dinosaurs.

@@Universal_Anomalies yeah I think I remember seeing that somewhere now that you mention it

@@chillies696 Me too, I wonder if it was the same video.

@@Universal_Anomalies Me wanna! Dinosaurs are the best!

What'd be so special about that tho, you can see dinosaurs on trees every day :p You may even be able to buy and eat dinosaur meat at some grocery stores~

also DONG

Yea if he was mama case elliots size

good meat for another species we are Potecc ourselve we need, or make alliances we need

A disgusting snack

I know right? I kept waiting for the video to start breaking down tech developments & discussing long term plans but no... It kept going in random directions and covering interesting but unrelated trivia

I'm going to put some dirt in your OSC eye

Fox 1 same

oh we could see aliens very soon when they come to kill us

just as our great grandparents would be pissed to learn what they miss out on. all the cool stuff our modern tech can do for us.

Fox 1 We might be able to, you never know.Freeze you're body its the best shot you have to come back in the future.We will probably be able to live to 200 years of life and then when you're nearly 200 you will be able to live to 1000 and that could be going on long enough for us to become immortal. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN.

***** proof? not ideas or evidence or opinions or bias, proof. where is your proof? i'm not saying they aren't among us. but i'm not going to believe anything like that unless i have proof since it's such a wild claim.

I agree but I think we still have a lot to look forward to.

I understand you. We will be more intelligent, more healthy, and we would advance at a rate ten times more shocking than the rate electricity gave us. But that comes at a cost. Our culture. What we have constructed in our existance will be replaced, one by one, building by building, language by language, by a more efficient, futuristic, and beautiful one. By a non-human one. Piece by piece, the human cultures would fade away. If an alien would ask us today "What have you achieved as a species, without the help of any other?" We could be talking for hours about incredible things that we have made by ourselves, while two thousand years later, we would be silent or refer only to the distant past. Which would be like talking about Rome or Ancient Egypt. Fascinating, but ancient and outdated. I am not saying that the sacrifice of our culture is not worth it, because it really, REALLY is worth it. Just saying that we have a larger opportunity to enjoy our own culture than our distant children will.

We all are really not grateful of what we have now. If you were to be born in the 15th century so what will you do.

+Ringuin None claimed that this is going to happen. We're discussing if it happens. IF. A "what if" scenario, you know?

Well.. If you're born into a world where everything has been "perfected" there would be nothing new.. It would suck to be born in that generation

MaroonCacti a non manned mission to proxima centauri is already planned

in 2069? NASA engineers can't plan what they will eat for breakfast in 40 days. But in 40 years time. Sure? Why not?. NASA might not exist by then. Those same engineers will be ancient sclerotic farts or dead. I would rather believe in Maria's words about the immaculate conception than that we will reach a star. At least, we know Jeebus came out of a vagina.

MaroonCacti almost 1,099

we all know that this number is incredibly stupid right?

Ivan darling, you sound so so greedy and pissed, honey, I feel with you. Oh, those bad rocket scientists! Did they not ask you? I have a second shock for you: Indeed do they know exactly the day when in forty years they will start to fly to Mars or whatever. It is not easy to tell a complete moron like you; you of course never heard about stuff like LaGrange-points, etc, but: you cannot go into your rocket and just fly. You need every planet on the exactly place, and you now, if you saw more than three years your school from inside, when this day will be. Simple mathematics. I fear you have to live with that fact.

"is that cloud's experience of consciousness the same as my experience of consciousness?"

Arguably, those clouds can cause a black hole.

"Lord, forgive me what I'm about to do"

That's always what I thought. Like in alien films or games, if we don't have the equipment to visit other planets why would they?

Or some might not have any tech at all

Best Friend a

Or maybe just microorganisms

The paradox is that, if the universe is as old as we think it is, and infinitely large as we think it is, probability determines that there IS life out there on a similar technological level as us, but there also SHOULD exist life eons more advanced. Given the age of the universe and the possible age of life within it, interstellar travel should be happening already if it is possible, and so raises the question of why we haven't been visited. So, it's most-likely impossible, or so nearly impossible that it's incredibly rare, or so nearly impossible that life usually goes extinct before ever effectively achieving it.

only a few far far away galaxies would see that

+RB_CPFC dinosaurs lived 60 million years ago, right? So every galaxy 60 million light years away would see the dinosaurs on our planet...

The second biggest problem in traveling light speed is accelerating without killing the passengers, the first is obviously we have no clue how to get so fast.

that could be true but that would imply life started on their planet the same time it started on ours which is highly improbable. it's more likely if aliens exist they've existed longer than us and therefore are more technologically advanced

Very true wkblauwster, i actually always think about that, but I don't see how we could be the only planet in the entire universe with living organisms, that would be a bit ridiculous. I think that there are living beings in forms so foreign to us, that we pass over them without giving it a thought. Like, maybe there are living planets.

Danny Helser What happens if humanity dies before we find out? That is even more terrifying.

demon mutant ninja zombie What if there WAS life on another planet, but it was wiped out by some cataclysmic extinction event on their planet? Or they figured out we were here, and died trying to get to us? I am a strong believer that we are not alone in this universe. The chance of habitable conditions for life as we know it is incredibly slim, but divided by the estimated amount of planets in the known universe, there IS life on other planets. But maybe we will never come into contact with them. Maybe when we do come into contact with them, it will just be a few surviving colonists long after earth, and the rest of the human race, has been wiped out.

You've been watching too much youtube lately i suppose

A) You can't know that for sure because of the possibility that Plautonism, Panpsychism, spiritual dimensions or other such ideas might be true. B) Who care what the universe "knows." It's an object, with conscious life inside of it. You even subconsciously imply that when you use the word "it" instead of "they." Example: "The class of philosophy 101 knew that the Final exam would be worth 70% of its grade, so it all showed up on time." "The employees were tired of working for minimum wage so it striked for better pay." "The contents of my bedroom was devastated because I left my bathroom, and now the contents of my bathroom no longer knows itself." No one talks like that, and it's weird to think like that. Morality in the vast majority of philosophies is for and with respect to people (or God). Plus, the extreme version of that line of thinking is pro "I Am Legend" or keeping "the universe knowing itself" as rare as 1 person. Why does "we're the only place" stop at the boundaries of the atmosphere and not the boundaries of the galaxy or your country or your house? Also, there's a lot of historical and archeological mysteries on earth. Why was such and such building built, what was such and such weird gizmo used for, what subjects did books in the library of Alexandria tend to be written about? These are examples of actual lost knowledge about our past and what life was like before modern technology. Discovering life on other planets going thru the iron age, making similar sorts of things and being able to study and observe them would definitely be more of a motivating "push" towards learning and discovery than a cosmos filled with nothing but lifeless rocks and gasses.

The elephant in the room is really the question: "How the hell do we force a linear gravity wave?"
