5/5 Are We Alone In The Universe?

[darththork99]

100 years later...

John: Hey Bill, remember that old dead planet Earth?

Bill: Ya, I watched it collapse through my telescope last night.

John: Well i'm glade we where able to build a spacecraft to fly us to Gliese 581g.

Bill: I agree. (Thoughts) I think this is gonna turn out like that ancient movie, Avatar.

[jocegir]

they realize that there are other elements that could combine to create life (silicon based for instance) however water is the only one we are sure of.

[GetSomeBringItOn]

Is that Sigur Ros at around 3:50!?

[JessicaTG2008]

As life evolves in any tempurature, the entity will obviously be able to sustain that tempurature. We even see this here on Earth with polar bears able to sustain extremely cold temps and in the water for extended periods of time, to cactus plants that need little water to survive in extremely hot climate. This would likely be the same in other planets as well. It shouldn't be any surprise to find life in temps of consistant +200 degres to -200 degrees if evolution has its time to do so.

[terra61]

i hate how these people assume water is a necessity when it comes to life. Just because its what helped life come about on earth, it doesn't mean that life can't come from other elements.

[messiballer08]

@terra61 umm..sorry to break it to ya..but our bodies are 60-70% made up of water..even lacking 30% our bodies would either adapt and evolve or die off..water has everything to do with existence in our planet..everything

[terra61]

@messiballer08

.....

of course 'our' bodies are 60-70% made up of water, because we evolved on a planet where water is everywhere therefor our bodies use it. if there was another planet which had a different liquid, then the planets creatures would be 60-70% of that.

[zzzIdividedbyzerozzz]

@terra61 its not a necessity, its just far more likely to find a carbon-based life that thrives on water rather than anything else for two simple reasons: 1. Hydrogen, oxygen and carbon (excluding helium because its chemically inert) are the most abundant elements in the universe. 2. Carbon is the most chemically active element. So something like a silicon-based life wouldn't be as nearly complex as carbon. If life is out there elsewhere, it still is restricted by Physical and Chemical Laws.

[JabberCT]

2 people think stars are fake and that the government put lightbulbs in the atmosphere to fool us.

[pucksterz12]

There are so many possiblities that we could be the pioneers of space or could be so primitive that other civilizations wouldn't even care about us - who knows?

[TheCottonTop]

3:00 what is the name of this song. I have heard it before.

[po0nisher]

@TheCottonTop Not sure but it most be one of those "Where's Matt?" songs he uses

[beauxanddanherenow]

@TheCottonTop staralfur by sigur ros

[TheDrunkenTrooper]

I don't know if I agree with that guys they may not be hostle to each other but it don't mean they ain't gona be hostle to us! Although (and it's sad to have this leval of disrespect and mistrust of my own race) it would probably be us who started an interstellar war but if it was against a space fareing race it would all most certanly be them who fineshed it!!!!

[Zurround100]

sylvanha thats part of why I think a Star Wars like situation would never happen. Any civilization that warlike and corrupt could never evolve to be so technologically advanced.

[geniemist]

you're not in Kansas anymore...you're on Pandora!

[Zurround100]

fuxu123 what the hell is the matter with you why would finding alien life inherently be bad? what do you mean we would all be dead?

[sylvanha]

@Zurround100 Probabilities are that violent civilizations would go extinct and destroy themselves before becoming a space faring civilization. Advance civilization would most likely have to be stable and non-violent.

[fuxu123]

lol if we humans found intelligent life we are all dead

[roots754]

@fuxu123

thats only if there like humans. maybe they arnt as hostel as us.

[Angelus12308]

I just got into a physics university.

Thinking of majoring in astrophysics in 7 years.

But it's still a long time from now.

[Ramshobraja]

Its angeloflife's comments that make me think religion is a mental illness.

[ImOnlinefNow]

"I AM HERE!!" Said the Dust grain...

[AngelOfLight5535]

Is there life out there? Yes, there are billions of angels and other creatures created by Lord our God, and they live in peaceful worlds without sin, death, or evil. It's only this world that is a quarantined piece of rock infected by sin. Soon when every human decides whether to worship God or Lucifer, then Jesus will come, take his people and destroy the rest, making the universe free of sin.

[slash3rr]

@AngelOfLight5535 plz tell me why god created sin? Whats the use?

[bunkyejoe]

@slash3rr there is no god, my friend. 

[slash3rr]

@bunkyejoe duh... I ment, if god excisted then..... It was a reply on someone thinking there is a god.

[NamgyelPalaRangdol]

@AngelOfLight5535 your sick .... you need some mental assistance ....

[mastermanio2]

The whole "habitable zone" idea is still very limited in my opinion. That theory assumes that the only life out there is bio organic.

[baskoffie]

We are strangers to space, you know the rules and so do I. A full commitment's what I'm thinking of. You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling, Gotta make you understand.

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna let you down

Never gonna run around and desert you

Never gonna make you cry

Never gonna say goodbye

Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

[hanwenzero]

if there is a god than god prob dose not like to watch more than one "tv" when god gets bored he would wipe most of life out and enjoy what might happen next. if god is all knowing then god must have a pretty boring life....

[chaserhlcmat]

stop looking for life inhabit our close planets and let life find us

[ZenninChi]

What if everyone thought this way?

[sonicchao112244]

i think 581d habitable becuz mars is just outside the habitable zone and it had water on it surface

[DNO221]

lot of hopfull thinking

[Rescueswimmer85]

archdeaconj and dreamredeemer,

I've been reading your dispute over the past days and must add; that despite your disputes in beliefs of a diety, the economoic world, or the intellectual beings in other planets on thing is for sure.

That is, that we on this planet or alive and well (for right now). And that their are billions of stars in this universe amongst billions of universe throughout everything that we can vividly see.

What are the probabilities that we are alone?????????????

[jamierourketen]

ok, we find all these earth type planets,but they are all too far away to ever reach!

[christheferal]

Too far away to *ever* reach? No, only today they are too far away to reach.

[ERST111]

i like to believe there is more intelligent life out there, and they've discovered us many years a go. but when they look down at earth, what do they see? brutal men murdering Innocent people, civilizations bombing each other, killing, harm, fear and so on. and they think to them selves... hmmm.. we don't want to contact those, they're violent. and there for, we have not yet found them, because they don't want to be found

[kebabflaps]

@erst111

If they could see us i seriously doubt they would focus their attention on a war zone. Most of humanity lives in peace and our cities and technology would be of great interest to ET - i think your opinion of humanity is twisted and pretty cliched. Have you noticed that nearly everything that lives on this planet experiences conflict - even plants 'fight' for sunlight and it's not like the losing plant moves away to live in peace... instead it shrivels and dies in the shade.

[kevsenior]

If they were truly intelligent and enlightened , they wouldn't look on us as bad . They would look at us with pity . They would understand why we act so because of competition , scarcity and the will to survive and would understand we haven't taken the big step as a civilization

[videofonico]

Just imagine that aliens on a distant galaxy with our current technology were looking at our solar system and detect earth, but 5,000 years ago, they could start sending messages for 5,000 years and nobody will answer. Knock knock..., knock knock..., ok, no intelligent life here, next planet please.

[lee155912000]

I wish I was smart enough to get into astronomy professionally.

I love space and everything about it. I only wish I had the determination to follow my dreams...

[rodriguezplayer]

@lee155912000 same here, im fucking to damn lazy to do anything about my dreams, a real bummer, and idk what to do about it

[lokir]

@lee155912000

Hard work and applying yourself will get you a lot further than just wishing... leave the wishing for people with Genies and stop selling yourself short.

[Jefferdaughter]

@lee155912000 - Determination is the key It may be the key factor that holds most of us back from following our dreams. For those of us whose dream is not to be a professional astronomer, we can join astronomy clubs, read, and watch programs like this.

[madalert]

@lee155912000 make it a long term objective then make an action plan first

[mysteakhouse]

@lee155912000 it's never too late to realized your dream, no matter how old you are. Determination is all you need.

[hanamid]

maybe the conditions for aliens are different than humans

[olympiag1]

I think there are a number of Earths out there with people/humans in it maybe exactly what we look like. It's just that it's impossible for our modern technology to reach them or even spot one. If there are other earths out there with people/humans just like us maybe 101 trillion trillion trillion miles away, I think it's amazing if you can imagine what year is it on that earth? What if every people there has a duplicate here on our earth past and present???

[kurt30001]

It`s a shame we have NO means (yet ) to travel there to see these exo-planets ourselves..Warp drive or worm hole space travel is alas, hundreds of years away for human application.. We can only look for now..All the more reason that humans should look after what we have..Earth !!

[seudotrofio]

MICHAEL JACKSON SAID IT ONCE: you`re not alone, alien are here with you... Though you're far away, aliens are here to stay!!! LOL

[gem6969696969]

Astronomers estimate that if even one percent of stars host Earth-like planets, there would be a million Earths in the Milky Way alone. If that's true, hundreds of Earths should exist in Kepler's target population of 100,000 stars

[DreamRedeemer]

If you want to believe there is a possibility of life on other planets - do

If you don't want to believe there is a possibility of life on other planets - don't.

But being that the shear numbers for an optimistic view are far greater than a pessimistic view, it is nearly impossible for an open-minded, intelligent individual to be convinced of anything, by a tunnel-visioned, ignorant one! But fools do try and God Love Them for it! Just smile, and nod - thats what I do!

[archdeaconj]

It's no a question of WANTING to believe - or wanting not to believe. Belief is not subject to volition - you can't choose to believe what you want to believe. If someone said they'd torture then kill you if you didn't believe in Father Christmas, could you then believe? No, of course not. Even under pain of death and torture you couldn't. Oh of course you could lie,but could you truly believe? Of course not.

[DreamRedeemer]

LOL - Father Christmas!

Well, in such a case I most likely would NOT believe in Father Christmas, unless I perceived such a character to be JESUS, but I most certainly would choose to believe that they might actually torture and kill me in such a scenario.

And yes, we do have a choice with our FREE WILL to believe in ANYTHING we want, whether it be Fairies or an impending World War which could bring about the purposeful distinction of 90% of the World's population.

[archdeaconj]

Well only you know whether you think Father Christmas is Jesus or not. OK, another example. If someone says, I will give you nine million pounds, the love of your life and perfect beauty and health...and a wish come true thrown in (wow!)...IF AND ONLY IF you believe the earth is flat, could you believe this? Could you believe the earth was flat for all this? I mean truly believe it, not just say you believe it.

[DreamRedeemer]

Definitely NOT!

Though money makes the World go round and is needed now in order to live, being that pretty much every square inch of this planet is owned and under the jurisdiction of another whereby taxes need to be paid and unlawful hunting is not permitted making it essential that we work and partake in any Nation's culture and rules of law -- money, love, and a wish come true is not and will never be, anything that I could purposely delude myself into believing the World is flat for, no.

[archdeaconj]

You see, you can't choose your beliefs. You can't just decide to believe in a flat earth - or in leprechauns, or ghosts or anything else - just because you WANT to. If you DO happen to believe in any of these things, you can't choose NOT to. You can choose whether to raise your left arm or your right, or neither; but your can't choose what to believe. If you happen to believe aliens MAY exist, then you are quite unable to believe they DEFINITELY exist (or definitely don't exist).

[DreamRedeemer]

If for some reason you do not believe in Aliens and feel that you simply just can not, DESPITE, all the statistical data along with so many people's personal accounts, AND, our own Earth's historical account through hieroglyphics and ancient Sumerian writing tablets and Medieval Art all depicting that Advanced Peoples from other planets have visited our own, than you simply can't.  But what you can do, is be OPEN TO THE IDEA rather than refuse to believe it because you just don't want to!

[archdeaconj]

I don't understand where you get the idea that I'm a sceptic. I've actually been in ufology for a very long time. One of my constant objections is that the so-called hypotheses of the sceptics are not hypotheses at all but pseudo-explanations which only work by selecting data which fits them and ignoring data which doesnt. The issue that I raised wasn't whether there is any truth in the alien phenomenon - that's a different issue altogether - but whether you can CHOOSE your beliefs.

[DreamRedeemer]

I believe that one can choose their beliefs, but only if a sense of TRUTH has been tossed out by them first.

If one cares little for truth, then they are free to believe whatever they want to with their 'free will' or not to.

However, if one is HONEST, than they can only believe such things that prove themselves to be true to them, regardless of whether they want to believe it or not, once presented to them.

[archdeaconj]

If what you mean by 'tossing out a sense of truth' is self-deceit, well yes. I concede this point. It is certainly possible to believe in one's innermost being that something is the case, yet consciously deny to oneself that one really believes it (and the converse). Freud called it repression. Yet that deeper belief cannot simply be got rid of. It is still there. So one is simultaneously of two minds not a healthy state. Yes, thats a fair point.

[DreamRedeemer]

Yeah, I just meant that a man can choose to believe he is 'tough' despite knowing that he does not work out gets beat easily simply by walking around wearing tough clothes and acting like he is tough, even though inwardly, he is not - he's just choosing to believe that he is.

People like me, with 'depressive realism' can't delude ourselves into believing anything but what we consider and feel to be 100% mathematical equatable fact! And THAT is something you either got in life or you don't!

[archdeaconj]

You sound like your fairly impervious to media propaganda, which is always a good thing. Depressive realisim or healthy pessimism?

[DreamRedeemer]

You guessed it! I am completely impervious to ALL media propaganda and can in fact see through it all and even pick up underlying currents of mass media manipulation, which has contributed to my being known within some circles as being a dangerous individual, insofar, that I'm a FREE THINKER!

[Popalongkid]

Hey DreamRedeemer, not to dispute or challange you, i just wanna throw in, if any intelligence is that high to travel this far via space bending or light speed,would they not provide some evidence say, Alien doo doo , pee , boogers, skin or hair droppings. Would they really hide and peek into windows like a common garden rodent? So far evidence is very weak! That`s my take. But i like your attitude anyway .Peace!

[DreamRedeemer]

They're called CROP CIRCLES!

Crop Circles appeared years ago and quickly caught the attention of the Media, AND, the governments who were frantic for a way to cover them up - so they hired people to FAKE SOME and then purposely lead the World into believing that they were ALL fake, and voila - problem solved.

HOWEVER, there is a crazy difference between the FAKE ones and the REAL ones - and the real ones, can NOT be faked especially by mere people, on the ground, and in only ONE NIGHT!

[Slacktoo]

"We don't know how life got started on Earth"...

THERE YOU GO!! Then why do they think that finding Earth-like planets with water on them automatically means life?

[Fjedja]

Because if planet will be earth like with water it is allmoust immposible to dont have life on it!

[ah4fecksake]

i think its because water is a first priority for life to exist.

if life does exist or not,who knows,but without water it simply cant.

[PaudinsDrawings]

Why do we live here on earth?

I don't care but why?

Why is there a Universe, What is it?

Is there an End?

[Frogstomp121]

Maybe we are here on earth so we can learn to love and get along with each other.

[PaudinsDrawings]

Yeah love is better than killing each Other.

But why are why learning that.

[Frogstomp121]

What I am to understand is that we come here to see life from many different angles in order to learn to love everyone and everything unconditionally, which is what God is, one who transcends all religions and peoples and loves no matter what.

He is like the parent who loves their child even after they draw with crayons all over the wall.

[PaudinsDrawings]

theres no god. I dont believe in him.

Nobody Created us

[Frogstomp121]

How can you be so sure? Is this coming from research or just looking at the world around you and giving up?

[PaudinsDrawings]

Okay tell me how he look like.

Is he 10 meter tall?

Is god a Human?

Where does he live.

[Frogstomp121]

I don't think you can see God, I think humans are the ones who tried to make God in their image. I think God is in everything you see and everything you touch, like a life force or energy. I think he created everything.

[PaudinsDrawings]

Because we got a sun and moon everything became to life on Earth.

Its a wonder.

Other Planets dont have an airRing and no sun or Moon. Maybe planets, lightyears away got that. So there can be life on other planets

All because of that we life here on earth

[Frogstomp121]

Then I feel bad for you when you come back in your next life.

[paradigm011]

What we have to realise is that we are as humans  inquisitive of nature. When we discover one aspect of life, we unfold another. In this sense we will never find the TRUE answer, we will just continue to evolve and question life.

[godlordy]

radio transmissions might not even be used by certain life in the universe, so the lack of these radio transmissions might mean that other civilizations may have never achieved a single radio transmission because their technology is so different from ours , they might have a much more advanced way to communicate (telepathy for example), or that they are so far away it will take many many years before a single transmission could reach us.

[karlz131]

or maybe thier our technology are more advanced than thiers.

[dhymers]

Brilliantly produced TV.

Youtube+Wikipedia ftw.

[nicklekakis]

Wobbles and Winks? That's our evidence? That's all we get for billions in research? Lame.

[USAneedsaChange]

the distances are incredible... can be happy we get that even ;-P

[videomissionary]

What if the orbit is at such an angle where the planet won't pass in front of the star? what if the planets are spinning around the sun like the ands of a clock? then the wink-hunt would be kinda useless.... no?

[hrbear]

I know what you mean, that the planet will orbit the star upside down, yes, but the star will wobble in this case also, so we can detect the planet. They developed other methods too, like to measure the disturbing of the extra-solar-system outer dust region, or a Quipper like zone, where a planet can change the dust's persentage when passes by, like our Pluto or Neptune does. There is also a third method that I don't remember.

[USAneedsaChange]

true, seems we/they have to be very lucky to find such a wink

[death2026]

lets hope we find something before we kill ourselves off

[rjdaredevil]

so did the kepler detect any earth like planet yet ?

[sc4mmer]

Kepler will not begin feedback of results to earth until June 18th, still they do not expect to discover small "earthlike" rock planets earlier than a couple years from now.

[CamiloSanchez1979]

We only have one planet, we have to take care of it. Solo tenemos un planeta, tenemos que cuidarlo.

[sidensvans54]

A none programme.

If might maybe could ...

[1980cossie]

If it took us thousands of years to figure that earth wasn't flat then it will take us hundreds of thousands of years to find non human intelligence.

[leccinator]

science advances exponentially

[empeus]

this is heretic, god created us!!! all non believers must die in a holy fire!!!

[MysticREC]

loool, The God Delusion is hitting you hard.

[empeus]

just being ironic ... not that seriously :))

[rjdaredevil]

r u trying to be the 2nd god or something ?.....judging people with ur stupid statement...

[postrea]

Are we alone in the universe?are we the only intelligent species in the universe?These questions have already been answered in 1947 in Roswell New Mexico when alien bodies and pieces of debris from the alien craft have been recovered as well as the numerous sightings about UFO's some of which were reported by credible witnesses such as pilots and those in the military...

[MrBS4]

Is possible they are a branch of homo on earth? Instead of coming from outside, they may come from inside or maybe come from future. Just guessing.

[taans1]

i have digital cable, i still think the uk has better television, besides battlestar galactica, which is the best show ever... and yeah, arizona has nice weather for 9 months out of the year, but it's in the 100s for 3 months. believe me working on f-16s in that weather is not fun!

[Leadman1989]

yeah that was a joke while i think that some of their programs a quite intresting i wouldn't go off and say that they had the best or if i did put the qualifier "in my opinion"

f-16's NICE : P

do you fly at all?? not them in particular but any aircraft

[taans1]

no i'm just a crew chief.

[Leadman1989]

i checked out your channel

you should prolly get some nazzi-begone

: P

[sammythesnake1986]

belive me taans1 its really not that great over here. stay where you are at least you have decent weather!!!

[fixingbraincell]

whats the song starting at 8:35? thnx.

[marutehkazoo]

I agree that I want to know who performs this song. Someone assist us.

[poodtang1]

What if that's 10000 spread out over 100 million years. With each species at a different level of evolution. The youngest might be the level of intelligence of dinosaurs the oldest might be of a godlike status. And everything inbetween. The youngest can't talk the oldest might not wan't to. Modern humans have been around 100000 years if an alien species was only 1% younger then us in technology that would still put them at the level we were at in the dark ages.

[rbolo29]

In the future there are twelve known 'Earth similiar planets' in a galactic orbit similiar to our own.  These are called, 'the string of pearls.' Earth like planets are true G.E.M.S and much more rare than ever imagined. We should take care of our own.

[MADH1GHLAND3R]

its a really nice thought that we might be the higher inteligence then we wouldnt have to fear anything but disease

[taans1]

fuck the bbc has all the best and interesting shows...i'm stuck here in the usa.. i knew i shoulda got stationed in the uk

[Orinoko440]

Gotta love the BBC. Payed for by the people, not the organisations. They have much more freedom to broadcast what they like that way.

Horizon and Panorama in particular are fantastic shows, documentaries that can't get any better.

[Leadman1989]

well maybe you should get digital cable and stop bitching

[BlazingFilms]

Whats the song at 3:10?

[lamin14]

i have that song on my channel in one of my fav vids

[lowlife1441]

the song ur looking for is sung by a group called

sigur ros

and the song is called -staralfur

[marcusceltic]

These vids are really interesting,thanks for putting them up.

[piezow]

there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on this earth.So there is bound to be life out there,inteligent and uniteligent.

[itlaiaboy514]

i say life is out there....

[zenSk28]

how do we know that some new way of life exist on some other planet that is capable to survive other conditions that for us people it looks impossible. maybe they have thei own immune system that is trained so survive that circumstances!

[Dhaune]

fuck man, of course we are not alone in the universe

[lamin14]

i'm with u

[mamie4784]

wow kepla sounds pretty awesome i wish it can fly now

[TaigaSibirskaya]

Is there a secret plan to leave earth and inhabit other planets p d q?

Where does all the money come from to fund this project?

are they also searching for aliens?

[Dhaune]

why should that be secret

[reavin21]

hope so they'll find something.

[Dhaune]

the last guy talking is the biggest loser ever

[1rapper678]

[PokerOnTour]

If someone can contact me via PM where to find more video about Gliese I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

[fearron]

Watching this video, can we humans finally appreciate our lives and existance? Instead there is so much hate in this world with religions and cultures. When will we finally learn- or can we only learn when this Earth gets engulfed by our own Sun, of whom you call your God. Where it will be too late, to learn. Too late to realise, of all your efforts for revenge, all the suffering.. leads to the inevitable extinction of all the Human Race, and Zero nothingless. Your Gods, will not save you.

[applemyli]

Fearron, you have enlightened us all.

[pip8pop]

hahahahhahaa

[Lindasufos]

Well said fearron. Thank you. Linda

[Dhaune]

smartass, get a girlfriend

[pmgodfrey]

As an avid amateur astronomer I've always love watching these types of shows regarding stars and planets. This series was well put together.

Watching this series is possibly the best 48 minutes I've spent on the internet.

[Lindasufos]

Thank you pmgodfrey for your positive comment. Best wishes Linda

[Dhaune]

bla bla bla bitch

[Darkfoster22]

=D Wind bag

[SeventhSun]

No we are not.

[ewigkase1]

thanks for the video Linda 5*

[marsL001]

found part 5 here

7 stars

[Lindasufos]

Hi marsL001 I have taken Pt 2 away and putting it back after Pt 3 then it will run in order. I bet when I've finished messing around with this one the other 2 video's turn up. Great fun!!!
