2/5 Are We Alone In The Universe?

[ZeroHumans]

seriously, why would a bunch of retarded mutated monkeys on a trashed planet be alone in this universe????

[MadStylezuk]

I think the ladie at the end of this video was an Alien from Mars !!!!! Totaly Strange

[MrNocco]

The real scary thought is, imagine if we actually ARE alone?! I saw another documentary that was talking about how RARE a planet that can produce life is. I do believe that there are lots of other intelligent aliens out there, but the possibility that we are the only, or the first, is there!!

[mysteakhouse]

@MrNocco like you've said, the possibility is there, but look at this way, the universe is roughly 15 billion yrs old and our Earth is only 4.5 billion and life started the last 250 to 300 million yrs ago. And so, the rest of the universe has about 10 billion yrs head start on us. Most likely, we are not the first and are not alone, but we'll never know, until first contact.

[MrNocco]

@mysteakhouse I know, I do not believe we are the first, but it's a very scary thought, and has so far not been proven otherwise :P All this about how old the universe is and so on, I'm quite skeptical about that.... I mean how has this been proven? Scientist always make statements, later to be proven false... I mean at one point, they thought the Sun was in the center :P

[KOstriker1]

theirs no way we can be the only life i mean we're just 1 planet and theirs probally 100 billion planets in the galaxy and like 1 billion galaxys how man did we search so far not even 1

[kodiak1966]

@KOstriker1 Try again,There are 500 billion stars in our galaxy alone(suns),and there are 50 billion other galaxies !There is an average of 5 planets per star(solar system),do the math,, Are we alone?...IMPOSSIBLE!

[istvanklein]

@kodiak1966 Estimates about how many stars there are in our galaxy vary widely from 100 billion to 400 billion, and there are some 120 billion galaxies in the observable Universe. The problem is not how many planets orbit each star on average, but that life as we know it appeared as a result of a chain of events so enormously improbable each that it is absolutely plausible to assume it has happened only once.

[ihatethissystemalot]

It's all about intelligency

[NUGNESS123]

@ihatethissystemalot thye said 10,000 DETECTABLE civilizations

[ihatethissystemalot]

It's all about intelligency

[jlh6310]

Might be a dumb question but how do they know the temperatures of these stars?

[PeaceOfTruth]

this documentary makes me feel sick with all the spinning and glares and blurriness

[pcrvg0808]

IF THERE IS A PLANET ORBITING A ,,SUN,, DOESN,T THAT PLANET ALSO NEED TO ROTATE IN ORDER TO SUPPORT LIFE ?

[FlyNDanz]

@pcrvg0808 all planets rotate due to gravitational pull from a parent star.

[pcrvg0808]

@FlyNDanz yep i should have Googled , before Capsing my question .

[nomyzs11]

people like my mum say that theres no life life out there because it doesnt say i in the bible. she should study more astrophisics and stuff, not bible. ALIENS NO.1

[chewymonkey17]

If we do more to educate ourselves and learn to collaborate better to become a more productive species, we will go far into space in the future. I think we can achieve incredible things with science. Unless we all kill each other over money, and insignificant differences first.

[00Gr1mm00]

@chewymonkey17 Maybe but we need to be faster than light to go far in space.And thats impossible.

Or we hope that Einstein was wrong.

[teo1000t]

I've seen UFO with my grandfather in December 2007

[mjaliveinmusic]

we are not alone....thats a fact

[ewinger12]

What happen if we are the first species in the universe.

[ewinger12]

What happen if we are the first species in the universe

[Zurround100]

God I HATE politicians. They cut funding for SETI and built their careers on not wasting tax money to search for "little green men". Spend TRILLIONS to bomb the hell out of men here on Earth but god forbid we should spend BILLIONS looking for men on OTHER PLANETS. If all the money we waste on these stupid wars was spent on science we would be way more advanced.

[Cleanenergiesstore]

@Zurround100 So tell me what would you prioritize for funding?

[sonbuhitsunei]

@Zurround100 Why we need another Kennedy...HE would have approved of furthering our spacefaring efforts. Because of his enthusiasm, largely, we got to the moon (which is absolutely nothing-a tiny hop by cosmic scales, but as Armstrong said, a giant leap for mankind). At least, it would have been, if we hadn't largely lost our excitement for exploration after the 70's.

[Rimrook]

No fertile land go to unused. We know this by the nature of our own planet. If life can live, life will exist, and if life exists, evolution will occur. Evolution will lead to intelligence.

[rlh198506]

@Rimrook but it is the nature of that intelligence that matters the most.

[Rimrook]

@rlh198506

Awesomely true. Though astrobiolists are speculating that if the earth exploded into a million pieces, those pieces would put new life on thousands of new planets with life similar to our own. Scientists are thinking that DNA itself is like a seed.

[nando323]

@salien1999 They don't want to cause chaos, looting, riots, killings. Can you imagine what ppl would do if they said they found another planet? People would be excited and as time goes by i'm sure people would want to travel to the new planet. Of course everyone would want to go. Just like a meteor hitting earth on 2012 i'm sure they know exactly when its comin. But yet they hide it from us.

[Jefferdaughter]

@nando323 - Ah, but they have found new planets. We just can't get to them easily, at least with accepted technology (possible 'black projects' aside). Not everyone would want to go. Could be like 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy': the politicians, hairdressers, advertising executves, and telephone sanitizers (written by a British author) were put on ships and sent to another world, told a disaster was coming.

[cbbatista]

My question is: So, there's life on planet Earth, but there are no life on the planets we know of. Why? What are these planets for? Surely Venus, Mercury, Mars etc are there for a reason?

I guess it all has to do something with the meaning of life :)

[riseblade]

its just us, there is no life outside of earth, we are all tht exists,,,, only other place is heaven and hell

[santanorthpole3]

if we point the telescope by only 180 degree how could we see other plannet dont we need a 360 degree .if we put light on glass it will speard we need a dark glass so that it can absorb the light

[prototype81]

@santanorthpole3 no light bends in space. you can objects that are behind the sun. the light bends perception.

[trinityoneplace322]

Most Extra Terrestrials used telepathy to communicate, if fine your extrasensory perception and you will be amazed. We are here on purpose and that we do says volumes about humanity as whole.

[rokusho7]

The Gov't know about it and someday they will reveal it to us.

Are you ready?

[Salien1999]

@rokusho7 Why wouldn't they tell us now?

[bloodspilla55]

We can't find other planets just yet because our lack of technology. by 2030 we should be able to find other planets

[shechshire]

If it is true that the government(s) of the world seek to keep society in a calm predictable non hostile state witch is the logical thing to think, then wouldn't they seek to have as much as possible control over unexplainable flying objects in space and in the sky and any kind of investigation or effort to seek for extra terrestrial beings or intelligence?

[dallasmanson]

corruptreaper you blow my mind what u just said makes sence to me humans could just be a glitch in the world!

[The2012phenomneon]

I love looking at the stars at night it gives you an eerie yet astonishing sensation .

[runtaylor13]

this is the key to fixing our problems.

[husthisshet]

this is a very crazy job guys..

[bust2007]

How about we fix our problems first.....

[mavgirl4]

I want that job so bad!

[WayneTown260]

Thank you: Swiss[ + ]

For finding the 1st. outside solar system planet

[WayneTown260]

These gentlemen have one bad ass JOB!

[EnterThoughts]

A better way to word that, is the only planet you have been to is earth. lol.

IDK what you say, but the moon would be more fun to me to hop around on, even without all the amenities of earth. Just that alone, with the possibility and vastness of beyond earth - riddles me, if you truly understand what is out there, and maintain that decision.

But I personally feel you meant it humorously.

[Gainryusai]

my fave planet is earth

[WayneTown260]

Yeah, "Earth" F.T.W

[princepersia1]

@WayneTown260 Earth is the only planet with life.

[otherlifes]

@Gainryusai you serious???

Earth sucks. I want Pandora!

[ionglacier]

lmao

[TripleX2go]

Fewboys right if we have united.We Earthians would have transition to type 1 or 2 civilization.We should ask sita that question. In 25 years they didn't find anything yet? Come on only an idiot can't figure that out.The government would have stopped the funding long ago if they didn't.

[Themusicfan15]

That woman is ugly....

[SaggyBawlz]

You are right, that was a little freaky...

[hunterhalo2]

10,000 really isn't very much considering the size of observable universe :(

[fewboys]

We are here on purpose, so there has to be at least other lives in other planets. If all gvt on this earth starts uniting their intelligency power rather than war, we would be steps closer to find out "why are here, are alone, are there other lives, ....?"

[impulsive2urge]

haahahahahahahaha!

Your English sucks so badly that i have to tell!

ahhahahahaha!!

[fewboys]

It is a comment, so who cares? I would have revised the typos and grammars if it was my thesis. Thanks though, I gotta work on it, especially now that I am working on my dissertation.

[morepl0x]

ur inglish is horribad numbnuts

Oh please grow up man. Act your age.

sorry to change the subject but do you know of a place where the walls are four foot high? unfortunately, the wall outside my house isnt four foot high. but i lived in spain for a bit and you should see the walls there - enormous!...like skyscrapers lol but seriously, ive never been to a place where there are four foot high walls :(

[impulsive2urge]

lolol i am human u r an idiot

[1993gandy]

lmao

[impulsive2urge]

lmao

[ah4fecksake]

well put...

[archdeaconj]

@ fewboys. We are here on purpose so there has to be at least other lives in other planets? Really? How do work out that we are here on purpose (by which you mean, presumably, that there is a purpose to our being here)? Even given that we are 'here on purpose', how does it follow that there is life elsewhere in the universe? It doesn't follow, does it. There may be life elsewhere,there probably is, but it doesn't follow from us being 'here on purpose'. What is 'intelligency power'?

[fewboys]

@ archdeacnoj. Given the perfection of our planet and our lack of knowledge to other existing planets in the universe, I would say at this moment that there is a high probability of other lives out there. I should have my phrase more I guess. Yes, it does follow in a away that our purpose can't be dictated by NOTHING. If we have a purpose, then who would give us this mission?

[CorruptReaper]

@fewboys ever think that there is no reason for us to be here, we are simply a side effect of the universe? Kind of like foam when you pour a beer, pouring the beer would be the big bang, the beer itself would be the universe, and the foam that looks good but has no real purpose is us.

[prototype81]

@CorruptReaper actually the foam has a purpose, that was the worst analogy i've ever heard lol. I understand you point, but seriuosly using foam from a beer as you point? LOL have another one and smoke another.

[CorruptReaper]

@prototype81 The foam to a bear has no real good purpose, a perfectly poured beer has no head at all, a "Good looking" beer does have a head though. The foam is a side effect of the carbon dioxide escaping. Not only is it basically useless to us for that to foam up, too much foam means a lot of carbon dioxide has been removed, which makes it go flat. Have you ever had a flat or warm beer/pop... never as good as a fresh cold one. The head just looks good and serves no other major purpose.

[quangluu96]

@fewboys i agree, there are billions of planets in our galaxy, and there are billions or zilliong of galaxy, maybe there are billion of dymensions

[Neueregel]

@quangluu96 and billions of trolls

[crzykd1305]

@fewboys tell that to russia, they may not be aggressive but their spying on us without even letting us know what they know.

[GTXMAN]

@fewboys We are here on purpose? oh really,what purpose?does everything needs a purpose? just because you think there should be one?

[HEROENGI]

@fewboys logically there will b other civilisation , earth couldnt hold life , but something happend , water supports life , nd that comes from where? aand meteorites hit the earth n made it habitable , so there IS another civilisation , the question is : who , where , when , how advanced etc.

[darkskies1989]

that woman at the end...........

LMFAOOOO

[WheresTheAnyKey1]

10k is tiny in this universe

[Matpat11]

damn i got scared looking at that woman

[Dayvid1984]

what woman

[Dayvid1984]

oh i see yeah she ugly!

[Enix2012]

@Matpat11 9:18 is the worst. SHES GOING TO STEAL MY SOUL!!! >:O

[Jefferdaughter]

@Matpat11 - this distorting effect of a 'fisheye' lens

[crzykd1305]

@Matpat11 thats not nice just because she looks like dobby and sounds like she rides the sunshine bus XD

[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?

[lardlll]

Big bang was basically an explosion in another universe that created our own, it expanded like a balloon separating matter from dark matter, our universe expanded ever since, like a big bubble with hundreds billions of galaxies in it, beyond it are billions of other universes and if you would treat it as a single bubble you would see something like an atom within an ocean of other atoms creating a thread like structure within an ocean of similar compounds, our reality is looped this way (:

[PaudinsDrawings]

Yeah, so we are not alone.

People say that there are more stars and planets than sand Grains on Earth.

[DJAntonetti]

O M G She is UUUUUUUUUGLY.

[grufle1906]

LOL the woman at the end has her face WAY too close to the lens

[EHK94]

we must think new ways to find Terrestrial Intelligence! we have been searching for a long time, so maybe we should search for ufo with new technology. i am not saying that we should stop searching for alians the way we do, but maybe we should start to think different:)

[aaahhhhaaaahhhh]

We should forget about shit outside our planet! We got people dying of hunger, disease, and poverty...so many unjustices happening in this planet....heres an Idea for you lets fix our shit first before we even start thinking about other life.

[ErikVaughnDillinger]

Selfish are we? Don't want to help the starving aliens I see.... fucked up!

[inflationBs]

Keep thinking about star wars you dip stick while the government has you by the balls

[ErikVaughnDillinger]

ummm. I never mentioned star wars you sack of shit, wait till the aliens rape you with an iron rigg.

[Bluenosedwill1]

they wont tell anyone until religion has no hold over humanity

[gledalac1979]

humans need to spread to other planets to survive but the distances are unimaginable and we have to either extend human life or travel faster than light which we are so far from doing. I heard that the closest star and planet away from sun is 20 light years away

[Fjedja]

Impossible. If you will travel faster than light, you will go back to past. Its time travel. Plz dont talk random. Find out smthing and then talk ok ?

[ToPLebanesE]

we will never recieve a message from any alien because we are alone in the universe instead spending money on shitty stuff like this spend it on poor people who actually need it

[SwarSaiger]

i agree with you but wat if we re really not alone

[ToPLebanesE]

well if we are not alone do you think that they gonna use the same technology we do ?

[redalertdelta]

You are pretty foolish if you think that, seeing as how the universe is infinite, and being that it is infinite there has to be an infinite amount of civilizations.

[sidensvans54]

Imagine the chaos when we find other life..

[GiBBeY19]

i believe we have find other life already i believe weve had it for over 50 years but the government wont expose them because of the chaso it could start

[ariadarabi]

That's what they all say. We haven't found it yet.

If you think there's alien life, why aren't you screaming? They know noone would

1. care

or 2. be shocked when they hear there IS life in the universe.

I'm not saying there is, because the world works in the most mysterious ways. We COULD be the only sentient life in the whole universe. Then again we can't. Right now we'll have to come to a conclusion that we are until we find another species.

[GiBBeY19]

well we all have our own beliefs but i think theyre already here

[dodow1234]

at 9:18 = Finally we found the alien =)

Oh wait he try to talkin to us....

[postrea]

Are we alone in the Universe?...1947 Roswell New Mexico comes to mind...it's time for the government to admit that 'Yes we are not alone'

[CamiloSanchez1979]

it was a meteorology balloon, what's the matter with you? shame on you.

[postrea]

have you read the book.... 'Witness to Roswell'.... by Thomas Carey and Donald Schmitt' ?

[ariadarabi]

Anyone can write a book. They could put whatever they think and twist all the answers to their point of view. Not everyone can use logic. I believe in aliens, but there is no proof they exist. When I see it, I will believe it and provide proof that noone could fake. Sadly, their spaceship metals are the same on earth. I think this alien thing is a hoax. I do still believe in them. I really do. No proof.

[davidsfc9]

you can't travel faster than the speed of light

[ELuhn]

That would seem to be the case. But I wouldn't mind being proven wrong.

[dodow1234]

well not at the moment

[Orctrist]

the only way we as humans would be able t o explore beyond our own solar system would be the invention of time travel and teleportation.

[ANDROID697]

Watch video's on Dr Steven Greer,The disclosure project.Very informative.

[poodtang1]

If we do detect some kind of signal it will be cause they wan't us to.

[ELuhn]

Not necessarily. We ourselves have been (unintentionally) putting out radio signals for about 125 years. If there is any intelligent life within 125 light-years of Earth, they could concievably be aware of us by now. Assuming that they also have radio technology. And assuming that they don't also have politicians who go "what's the point" and spend money on bombs, bullets and bailouts instead.

[poodtang1]

ELuhn: Any alien intelligence is likely to be far more advanced or primitive then us.

[ELuhn]

poodtang1: Given the time scale involved, that's very likely the case. It may well be that *we* are the most advanced civilization, at least at present. It's also possible that more advanced civilizations exist, but don't use radio over interstellar distances, any more than someone in San Francisco would use a bullhorn to call someone in Tokyo.

Very small needle, very big haystack.

[o0Oy0RicKO0o]

Why it can be that there are a lot of other alien intelligences it can be that on a planet that goes around a star at the same distance than the Earth does and there are alien intelligence on that planet that are much like us.

[ScorpianNebula]

Radio waves disipate after a light year or less

[ELuhn]

Considerably less; in fact, immediately. The intensity of light drops as the inverse square of the distance; so radio waves at 2 LY would be only 1/4 as strong as at 1 LY. To any observers at the edge of our 125-LY "radio bubble," our signals (which were weak to begin with) would be only 1/15625th as strong as from just 1 LY away. But such signals are still detectable, if they (or we) really wanted to listen. Granted, all of this is extremely improbable, but not the same as "impossible."

[ELuhn]

I'll amend what I said. You can send a weak signal out in all directions, or a strong one to a specific target. In the first case you have a better chance of reaching "everyone," but less chance that they will detect your signal. In the latter, you need some good reason for sending a signal in that direction. In either case, the receiver has to be looking your way. So it comes down to us detecting a weak "broadcast" signal versus a strong signal meant for us. So you're probably right.

[WatchMovies24]

We should look for an galaxy that have same structure as our milkyway. There would be good chance to be same kind of structure as our own.

[ELuhn]

There is; our "next door neighbor," the Andromeda Galaxy. It is very similar in size and configuration to our Milky Way.  And it's just a short hop of 2 million years away.

It's even visible through a moderate-size hobby telescope. If you ever get a look at it, just think: You're seeing it the way it was when we humans were just climbing down out of the trees.

[mrj222]

i dont get those scientists

just stop investments in planets in our solar system and spend it at building more and better spaceships

so we can search beyond our own solar system

cause whats the clue of knowing there was or will be life on mars

if we can search in the meanwhile for other live far far away from here

[horhey89]

it takes so long for a probe to reach a planet like mars, 7 years i think, so imagine planets out of our own system. By the time a probe gets there, we would have designed one far superior

[ELuhn]

It's not quite that bad; a probe takes in the neighborhood of 7 months to a year to reach Mars. The distance to Gliese 581, if I remember correctly, is 20 light-years. If we could get a probe up to 0.5 c, then with time for acceleration & deceleration we could get a probe there in, say, 50 years; then 20 more years for the probe's signal to reach us. Some of us could see the day, if we exercise and eat our vegetables.

[SavageAlcoholic]

Because even if we could travel the speed of light it would take 100 million years to leave our own milky way. Man doesn't live that long.

[imborgoss]

well good plan we invest money in it but if mankind builds a spaceship thats as fast as the speed of light it still takes us billjoins of years juist to explore 10 solar systhems this way we can try to filter outh the systhems that are surely not alife so find a good posseble systhem like the one Gliese 581c is in and now build space ship and send it that way its faster then fly to evry sun in the galaxie

[ExcuseLello]

...ok

his body is body/face, is your opinion , and if it was a fact then we can say he is buetiful l on the inside, what he really is the soul, not the body.

[murrayp4]

Whats the story with BBC docs. and 'wacky' lens tricks? Getting a bit old and annoying now...

[16sag7]

As you listen to all this information it becomes painfully obvious we can't find evidence of earth like planets due to the limitation our technology. They are there but out of our detectable range. One would have to be insane to think we are the only intelligent life in this vast universe. I guess all the talk and information about UFOs and alien contact are all just crazy people with delusion and hyper imaginations. I just simply chuckle at programs like these. Disinformation is what I think.

[GTXMAN]

@16sag7 Intelligent life is very rare and can only accour with specific conditions in mind

[16sag7]

@GTXMAN: How do you know what is true in the universe? Have you yourself traversed the cosmos enough to know that life is as rare as you think? We live in one galaxy with tens of thousand of stars in a universe with thousands and thousands of galaxies with thousand and thousands of stars in them. Just as sure as you are looking up in the sky and wondering if there is life out there some other entity is looking up wondering the same thing.

[GTXMAN]

@16sag7 and how do you know that? did you travel the cosmos?

Like I said,intelligent life is rare on earth,and were the only species who uses technology.

[16sag7]

@GTXMAN: How do I know there is other life? Because I am here and look up the stars and ask that questions. If I am here then there is other intelligent life in the universe. Is it so hard for you to fathom this reality? Only a fool would think we are the only intelligent life in the universe let alone the most advanced. No way in hell we are the only sentient beings in the universe with technology. You are right about one thing, intelligent life is rare on earth. LOL! We will know someday.

[itzahazylife]

all they find is gas planets most of the time because earth-like rocky planets don't give off hardly any light. so for all the gas planets they find just consider there to be a rocky planet there, just invisible

[DistinctiveBlend]

"all they find is gas planets most of the time because earth-like rocky planets don't give off hardly any light"

I don't think it has anything to do with emitted light, more so the effect of gravity upon their star, it makes the star "wobble".

The reason they find lots of gas giants is because of the large gravitational effect they apply to their sun. Earth like planets are harder to find because they are smaller thus creating a smaller wobble. :D

[itzahazylife]

yes but if scientists want to study a specific planet, they will need light...all the wobble does is tell us the size of the planet in that solar system. the more the wobble on the sun, the bigger the planet. yet that doesn't give us an image of the planet. in order to study what a planet looks like, and consists of, they need light, thus creating an image

[DistinctiveBlend]

I did a little bit of googling this topic and found that the first image of a planet outside of our solar system was taken at ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile with an infrared camera, which records heat rather than visible light.

They can also "see" planets when they go between their sun and us. Using Hubble we can detect if the planet has a atmosphere.

So with the wobble, the spectrograph on Hubble and infrared cameras we get a wealth of information which we can build an image from.

[cdeangaling]

Narrow? How about we already know life can exist in these conditions(earth), so why not look where we know it could be possible intead of just looking aimlessly.

[melmnre86]

They also cannot assume that all extraterrestrial life requires the same stuff as we humans do. Who knows maybe they need a high temperature to live as well as stuff thatwe would consider poisonous.

[Barcas666]

So it's like ALL life in the universe has to be like us? Hunting for earth like planets only seems a bit narrow. Maybe some other life forms can exist and be happy without water or oxygen?

Great upload nonetheless, thanks, Linda!

[ELuhn]

Quite possibly. But the search is difficult enough as it is. We have to start with what we know.

[pip8pop]

great KEEP IT UP BRO

[elldog56]

i agree with the people under me it is so exciting!

[marijuna7]

hell yea im wit the dude under me

[ogjimkenobi]

in my opinion hunting for earth like planets orbiting other stars is the most exciting field in science right now.

[marsL001]

got yah some more stars here

9stars

[Polarbong]

Great upload!

[Lindasufos]

Thank you polarbong. I got it all sorted out in the end. Thanks for the stars.

[Polarbong]

The pleasure is mine.Thanks for all your brilliant 5* vids!
