If I look at the Drake equation, 30 years back at uni when I first learned about it. We knew about star formation, we knew about the likelihood of planets and the rest was a guess pretty much. Compared to now, stars check, planets check, habitability check, right chemistry very probable. Next step is life.

My guess is there is zero chance we are the only planet in the universe with some kind of life. I can’t prove it scientifically.
While I’ve never seen extraterrestrial life, that I know of, I have seen an unidentified flying object that simply cannot be explained by known technology, especially back in the mid-80s, and it’s something I saw with my own eyes in an environment and situation there was no chance of any optical illusion.

The likelihood of us seeing technosignatures would be so slim since we aren’t seeing them how they are but how they were based on how far the light has had to travel (which will never nit blow my mind) and the likelihood of us intercepting a communication frequency or laser or… os also so so so low. We just have no intuition for how wildly huge the universe is.

Why is all life on earth related? Biogenesis only happened once on earth in 4.5 billion years. I think that may be an indication that life is extremely rare. If just having the conditions for life meant that life would exist, then every geothermal vent and every primordial puddle would have been an idle place for biogenesis on ancient Earth. However, all life we have ever found on earth has a single common ancestor. I think that instead of trying to find life elsewhere scientists should focus on finding an unrelated microbe here on earth. Some extremophiles in some inhospitable place here on earth. If they can prove biogenesis happened more than once here on Earth, then surely it has happened elsewhere.

I hate that teacup analogy, because if you scoop a cup of out the ocean you would definitely find life. So the fact that we looked at that much and haven’t found life yet could indicate that life IS rare.
Or, what he said beforehand, that we haven’t looked very thoroughly. We just don’t have the tech. For example we’re just now planning trips to Europa and we’re not even going to land on it let alone explore its oceans.

30 bn planets potentially harbouring life is great. And Drake’s equation/fermi paradox tells us it is possible but perhaps improbable since we haven’t come across it yet.
“habitable” planets rely on our understanding of habitable. Mimicking conditions similar to early earth on ocean surfaces for spontaneous biochemistry to evolve. But who’s to say that’s the only way “life” can come about? Certainly, in our world it is. We may just be looking for the wrong signs.

21:48 .. And that’s exactly why humanity is doomed to extinction — because we don’t think or act as one. Instead of working together to evolve, we divide ourselves over everything: race, beliefs, politics, personal interests. We judge, we compete, we fight. The truth is, the more we focus on what separates us instead of what unites us, the less chance we have to move forward. As long as we keep putting ego and conflict above cooperation, we’ll stay stuck — until we eventually destroy ourselves.

Why is this guy the first person I’ve ever heard saying that the conditions on other planets make them “habitable” by nature? Like earth isn’t special?

I agree there’s likely other intelligent life out there, but if they came here, they’d leave immediately. We’re still too savage to want to get to know. Hopefully, it won’t we like Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy. 😂❤

I wonder how hindered we are by our observable world and what we define as life. It is entirely possible that we are just looking for something like us, but are going to miss “life” because it isn’t something we can even comprehend yet.

An at dinner convo with this guy would be so immersive and interesting. You’ll literally walk out feeling enlightened by knowledge. 100x better than gossiping nonsense. You can literally never get bored, especially because his explanation skills are so brilliant. As they say “you’re only an expert in your field if you can explain it to a 5 year old (in the simplest language possible)”.

I love these series, but I wish you would hire a better editor; cutting out every fraction of a second without audio is incredibly annoying and amateurish. Considering Wired’s reputation and resources, I’m surprised you don’t address this.

That was very interesting and well based on actual evidence. But he didn’t ignore the limitations of our current knowledge and models as well. So we just have to accept that there are many things we just don’t know yet 🤷🏻♂️🤭!

i love learning about space and the ocean. its so comforting when you realise how big the world is and life almost feels pointless and absurd and thats pretty comforting when i think about the things that stress me out now. ill care about everything today, but ultimately its all not going to matter that much.

If you ask a question that starts “Why doesn’t NASA… ” The answer is always money. 2024 Nasa budget was about 25 billion dollars. Compare that to the US military budget that was about 900 billion dollars.

Just wow, scientist that just takes wild guesses. Drake equation does not mean ”there’s probably lots of life in our galaxy”. We have no way of telling how suitable for life planets are, what is the probability of abiogenesis, multicellural life, intelligent life, technological life…
