CANDYLAND IS REAL TOO.

I dig the poster

[habman2009]

You think your a celebrity ? Your a fat faced fuckin homo who lives in your moms basement !

GOOF !,,fat fuck..ugly too..

[VanKlaunch]

I agree with you about the inevitability of life and, in rarer cases, intelligence arising around other star systems and how we will most likely never meet extra-terrestrials. I find that there could be just a narrow scale of time in which intelligences capable of interstellar communication are extant in simultaneity. However, our distant, machine ancestors may meet other biology or extra-terrestrial technology. Physics->Chemistry->Biology->T­echnology.

[lemans24fan]

if there is aliens chances are they wont reach us until were all dead. life is short and space travel from another universe would take forever..............

[MrPizzapoika]

I say portals.

[kingbigdawg9]

your all idiots

[iStaybIazed420]

Man... i hope they do find us before we die .i wanna get shitfaced drunk and smoke some good spaceweed with an alien

[MrSawification]

then again you are not taking into account the fact that the closer you get to the speed of, the more that time slows down. so if you were traveling the speed of light to the closest star for you it would only take several weeks-months to get there. then again everyone else not traveling the speed of light would experience time at a normal rate.

[kmike3]

Completely agree with you in the fact that we will probably never meet INTELLIGENT life, however I don't see why we won't (even in our lifetime) ever find microbial life on other planets or planets' satellites. The Earth's moon, Mars, Titan and Europa are possible places where microbial life could exist/lie dormant. P.S. I like your FSM poster lol

[eLLriDe420]

@TheDrummer386 we are lucky that is all, god? no god. the law of physics leaves no room for the thousands of so called gods humans have worshiped like blind sheep

[elchippe]

i think we are going to find a way

wormholes, bending space ect

oceans once time where a barrier for humans now are nothing.

[APOLOMILES]

@TheDrummer386

man created God to not feel alone. We're so selfish we like to think we're the only special little race in the universe because we're scared to think that " God" made us better than anything else... I bet you're also one of the people that thinks that America = U.S. ...don't be conformed by faith and or religion. i used to be like you until i found out the real truth...

[Ramshobraja]

Even if we couldnt travel to these places it would be cool to communicate real time. But that isnt possible unless wormholes are true.

[lizsjohns]

I stopped listening after you said we will never meet aliens. If other planets are proven to have had life where do you think they went? You have a lot more researching to do but in all honesty all you need to do is look around and see it. Music is always a great reality check...

Good luck

[dpapaioannow]

SETI is a fucking joke...if i was an alien i wouldnt even give a fuck,*whats that?..radio message from earthlings?you mean those assholes who in their last world war killed 50000000 of their own kind?*fucking bullshit,always judging shit based on us,you know what?i would even be worried if some did answer,hell i would be scared shitless,cause they have to be even more crazier to wanna deal with us

[spiz3y]

Dude your awesome

[EricNyhmfan]

I guess they would travel for years in a computer controlled space station where everyone on board is on suspended animation for 4 years. Or it could be a giant flying city that lives of collecting the insterstellar medium where only the astronaut's great grand kids will live to actually arrive.

[JasonRodzArt]

very true, nice poster too lol..

[zacthebold]

It is possiple to fold space-time and travel great distances and through time. However it takes the energy equivalent of a supernova.

[GearzVoNKod3]

hahahaha is that a Cthulhu poster in the background?

[prolefeedprocessor]

@GearzVoNKod3

That's the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

[darkslayerryu]

i agree with him completely i had the same ideas too!

[7677876]

PUPPY!!!!!

[ellwyn]

by serfs he must mean the people who don't have access to education and the freedom to move to a developed nation. there are plenty of people in less developed nations who have access to education and can move to a developed nation and prosper. it is true, a few nations are either in utter chaos, or too dirt poor, or prevent people from emigrating. for what it is worth, free market societies, while not perfect, provide the best opportunity for people to improve themselves and prosper.

[vidstrika22]

ye this planet stupid i hate it lol

[kkoegler]

Ya never know!

[Motstand13]

If they had a way to travel to our planet, why wouldn't they assosiate with us? A whole planet brimming with life is certainly interesting to study for the extraterrestials. and perhaps when they see our backward ways of living they would like to raise us to a higher level of consiousness?

[MrBruceWillis]

Remember that the closer you get to the speed of light, the slower time passes for you. It might take aliens from Alpha Centauri four years in real time to get here, but to THEM, it would be an instantaneous trip. In other words, if you can travel at C, you can go anywhere in the universe instantaneously (although to outside observers it could take millions or billions of years).

[eseneaux]

i want to have a convo with you my friend

[maxthemagition]

It is very simple really....Life on earth depends on one thing...THE SUN.

Now how many SUNS are there in the universe!!!

[metallifreak23]

Take 999 trillion and multiply that by a quadrillion and the product isn't even close to how many suns are in the Universe. Extraterrestrials are as common as racism is on this world.

[bazookatim]

Agree with almoust everything you say. But i dont think there is a speedlimit. And i do believe that there could be a way to cheat time and space. You just need something like a black hole that you could control and use without killing yourself XD.

[2bsirius]

Very interesting video....You made this a couple of days before I made mine. It's strange how these memes just seem to float out there...Could be the result of the launching of the Kepler project to search for earth like planets, I guess.

Again, interesting...

[Fendertastic]

THE MOST HIGHEST POSSIBLE SPEED THAT THERE EVER COULD HAPPEN

A Michael Bay Film

[2DRonaldo]

Well we certainly wouldn't get there at Adam Sandler Speed. lol

[Biogirl52]

Why would we want to meet Aliens? Haven't you seen that episode of Twilight Zone....

"It's a cook book!"

[TristanPEJ]

what if they know where Magic Land is?

[iwanttoseeeverything]

@Biogirl52 haaaaaaahhaaaaaaaaa lmao i saw that one

[mlang52]

We visualize the universe in the way our brains allow us to. Without advanced knowledge of circumventing light speed, we are very limited, as you say. But you are right about them not wanting to associate with us, too! Why would they want to!?

[uglyengineer]

mlang52: "We visualize the universe in the way our brains allow us to."

I can't argue that there's not a component of human brain function in the mix, but this is an incorrect opinion. We "visualize" (model would be a better term) based on calculation, observed effect, and observation of model systems based on observed effect. People who don't understand how the empirical method works (which of course include the deists) believe science explains things the way the rest of us do; via anarchy.

[mlang52]

What I am saying is that our little brains cannot even imagine, let alone, work in a fashion that would allow us to know the intricacies of traveling beyond the speed of light. I don't care if you think it is incorrect or not. You can't read my mind! Don't be so arrogant! Opinions are like ... well everybody's got one! (Old Larry Flynt quote!) In other words you can think what you want. It, still, does not make you the final authority on the subject.

[uglyengineer]

Don't be so arrogant as to think your opinions should be immune from comment. You post on a public forum, your fair game. You don't get to pick and choose how others react your public opinions. And I commented because your "opinion" as actually a supposition, and one that turns out to be wrong. The empirical method is not my opinion. It is indeed a methodology in actual usage today and is in direct opposition to your incorrect supposition.

[mlang52]

I'll be how I want !

[TheMorbidAtheist]

The Drake's equation is EXTREMELY misleading

Just because we see that there is an extremely large amount of galaxies, stars and planets, doesn't mean that it is anywhere near easy for life to begin

[TheMorbidAtheist]

We have don't know with a 100% how life came to be on this planet. Perhaps 12 lightnings in a row struck the CO - O2 organic soup, therefore allowing a perfect aminoacid to from, not mention the perfect atmospheric condition as well as the best possible amount of distance between us and the Sun.

[TheMorbidAtheist]

And so far, with hundreds of ExoSolar planets found, only a few look like they could support life, but then again, they have the be located at a perfect distance from a Sun-like star and they have to have all of the necessary ingredients for life to there We might have never been here in the first place

so no, aliens do not exist with a certainty

[TristanPEJ]

by the law of large numbers it would be highly unlikely that we are essentially alone in the universe. But then again we don't have a very good sample size to tell how likely life really is.

[TheMorbidAtheist]

by the law of life being extremely unique, it cant seem apparent that it is mandatory for other life to exist in the universe,no matter how big it is

because the if we divide the chances of there being a life (that would the uniqueness of the basic amino acid,as well as other necessary conditions)by the number of the possible earth-like planets in the universe. then it would look something like this:

1/10^99999999(nearly infinitely small chance)

_______

10^99999 (number of earth-like planets)

[TheMorbidAtheist]

We've never been able to create life out of non-life in the laboratory and since there's no god, then it is extremely difficult for life to start in the first place. And you're right since we don't have a good sample size to tell how likely life really is, it might be extremely extremely unlikely

[TheMorbidAtheist]

@TristanPEJ

what is the law of large numbers?

and where is the LAW or where are the NUMBERS and probability concerning the chances of a single reproducing molecule coming into existence?

the large numbers dont mean anything if you can account for the other half of the equation

[dpapaioannow]

@TheMorbidAtheist we have life here on earth at places that we couldnt even imagine life could exist,at depths beyond 8km where water reaches boiling points and light dosent even reach quess what?there's life...weird looking little crabs,prwan like things,gelly fish,some crazy alien movie looking shit,so i think the ingredients dont have to be neccesaraly what we believe as necessary,that and either way...its an endless universe maybe there are trillions of solar systems similar to our own

[TheMorbidAtheist]

@dpapaioannow

just because we have life on a biosphere rich in the PROPER amount of carbon, oxygen hydrogen etc, does NOT automatically mean that life exists elsewhere. Seriously, how do yo make that leap of faith?

once life starts, then there's no way of stopping it, but once it covers the entire planet then where is the reasoning and math and numbers behind extraterrestrial life? where

[TheMorbidAtheist]

@dpapaioannow

its the same as saying: "well, all ancient people believed in their gods and they didnt have contact with each other. so that means god exists"

you have to stay intellectually honest here.

[TheMorbidAtheist]

@dpapaioannow

the universe cannot be endless, clearly it had a beginning some 16 or something billion years ago, so it is as large as is was its varied rate of expansion for the last 16 billion years, but it is not infinite, it can never be infinite, nothing can ever be infinite, because an eternity would have to pass before the universe reaches the "infinite" size, and since the eternity can NEVER pass, then the universe is not infinite.

[OctaviaW]

This is timely. I just watched The remake of the The Day the Earth Stood Still.

I don't know the specific science - I do vaguely understand wormholes. I absolutely do believe aliens are out there somewhere. But as you pointed out, we are bascially like slugs compared to their level of knowledge. So no aliens in our future:(

[Zebanamana]

Hmm maybe the thought of lightspeed is just primitive thought and on the cusp of space travel we discover something far more useful and us and all the aliens laugh at the other species that research light speed travel.

[ronp86]

o.O This video was weird. Interesting, but weird.

[celtic426]

yes i share the same views, kinda depressing :(

even more so when you think how short the human life is
