  1. For interstellar capable aliens, a sneak attack would be about as necessary as you mounting a sneak attack on the ant mound on your back yard.

  2. Yeah, Mars' oxygen came from the water being broken apart into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen escaped to space and the oxygen reacted.

  3. Woo woo pseudoscience bs. Nothing more.

  4.  @SCV70brightnoa  The easy and sane solution is to not accelerate at such an insane rate.

  5.  @Jag0h  Life started on Earth almost as soon as the rocks stopped being molten, suggesting that it would be absurd for abiogensis to be rare.

  6. Simply cite the peer reviewed source for your claimed cycle if you'd like people to know about it. Oh, you can't. Weird.

  7.  @cartier2312  You said why they haven't contacted us in your first sentence. The universe is too large and we haven't been around very long to be seen. Also, there is only one Universe. You're thinking outside the bounds of sanity. Share some of what you are smoking.

  8.  @delphicdescant  Yes, Mariner Valley would be warmer and wetter than anywhere else.

  9. There isn't anything to decode. Do you literally think no one analyzes the signals?

  10. Did you mean "i"? "j" is only used by electrical engineers.

  11. Well, yeah. Of course. Material would vaporize off the surface and push the object in the opposite direction. The problem is that you would need a huge amount of power to move a large object a significant amount. Much easier to nuke it, even repeatedly since we already have the technology.

  12. You can make charcoal from any organic matter so fossil fuels are not needed. They'll just have to grow a lot of biomass. Huge amounts of seaweed type life would work and would grow fast and wouldn't mess up the atmosphere burning it since it would be carbon neutral. It would not be as easy as fossil fuels, but it would be possible.

  13.  @KepleroGT  Ask the Apollo 1 astronauts. They are experts in 100% oxygen environment consequences. You will need a Ouija Board.

  14. It's at L1 because most radiation is coming from the Sun and placing it far from the planet creates a large shadow in the Sun's radiation that the planet would be inside.

  15. For any alien able to travel here we would likely not seem shocking or strange but quaint at best and primitive at worst, much as you would feel about society anywhere in the world if you traveled time 2000 years ago.

  16. Not mentioned because not true.

  17. You'd need about 79 Jupiter masses.

  18.  @theobserver9131  I honestly never watch any of his videos with guests.

  19. Better yet, build a Dyson Sphere around it to make a quasar power Nichol-Dyson beam to sterilize neighboring galaxies instead.

  20.  @bradleypoe6846  Nuclear weapons are nothing compared to just the kinetic energy of an interstellar craft, let alone that of the the drives of large examples.
    2
  21. 7:50 Any interstellar species will by definition be "armed" as the drives of any interstellar ship can simply be pointed at your planet during deceleration.

  22.  @maynardtrendle820  Why does the age of the universe mean we can't understand it? The comparison is completely meaningless.
    2
  23.  @HyenaEmpyema  Spontaneously spouting from nothing is the non-scientific theory. You might want to read up on your biology as your ideas are decades behind date.

  24. What you said might be true if we didn't have ways of looking into the past, but we do.

  25. Beings living on the timescale of trees would be weeded out by natural selection by faster reacting animals. It isn't hubris, it is practicality and understanding. Your hubris is thinking that scientists haven't thought of that already, which is their jobs.

  27. It sounds like total fiction if this is a serious question.

  28. In that amount of time we'll likely have become MANY things.

  29. Aliens at the same tech level as us would use similar tech and physics. Otherwise, they wouldn't be at the same tech level.

  30. Can you pass some of what you're smokin' man?

  31. We're pretty sure the Fermi Bubbles are evidence of the Milky Way's past quasar phase.

  32. ​ @miniverse2002 That would mean the current LUCA isn't and there is simply an earlier LUCA. LUCA by definition is the ancestor of all surviving lineages.

  33. You cannot decide what you find.

  34. That liquified the crust and blew it off the planet. There was no earthquake because the was no coherent crust to vibrate anymore. That's like asking if the loudest a bell ever rang was when you packed it full of explosives and detonated it into pieces. Not really.

  35. The galaxies are very large and bright despite being far away. Planets are not. Galaxies are about 1000x times larger in the sky than Pluto, for example. Also, you meant to write "right," not "write."

  36. 0% danger for us. Just about 100% chance for anything still alive.

  37. Insert Uranus joke here.

  38. Huh?

  39. Some pretty glaring errors to be counted as best but still very good.

  40. That would make things even more impossible and unlikely since you now need to explain the existence of such a creator who would of course need a creator since a timeless spaceless creator is totally impossible, according your logic. They "attack" you because it's not an answer at all.

  41. It is a myth that science predicted global cooling. Your comments about oil speak to a deep misunderstanding on geology and the physical properties of matter. Fossil fuel reserves are not filling back up and temperatures near the mantle boundary would totally carbonize oil reserves. Your science knowledge seems to be about 40 or 50 years out of date and the absurdity of your suggestions show it. Then you simply prove that you know nothing by saying that you think global warming is a good thing, despite it leading to the migration of millions of people from areas that will be too hot, dry, or under water into likely your home country. You really should have gone to school, kid.

  42. Seriously, just look up global cooling on wiki, as well as how oil is formed. Or is that all just lies? Pathetic.

  43. Like using spf 50 to protect from a hydrogen bomb 2 feet away.

  44. No it means literally the opposite.

  45. The dinosaurs hadn't even evolved 250 million years ago. It's an absurd amount of time. Disassembling the solar system would take 1/100th the time.

  46. facepalm Way to totally misunderstand the vast scale of space and the insignificant tininess of our planet.

  47. +David Turpin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-communication_theorem "The no-communication theorem states that, within the context of quantum mechanics, it is not possible to transmit classical bits of information by means of carefully prepared mixed or pure states, whether entangled or not. The theorem disallows all communication, not just faster-than-light communication, by means of shared quantum states.[citation needed] The theorem disallows not only the communication of whole bits, but even fractions of a bit. This is important to take note of, as there are many classical radio communications encoding techniques that can send arbitrarily small fractions of a bit across arbitrarily narrow, noisy communications channels. In particular, one may imagine that there is some ensemble that can be prepared, with small portions of the ensemble communicating a fraction of a bit; this, too, is not possible."

  49. Visible light mirrors have evolved as camouflage on certain fish, like a cutlass fish.

  50. Moss breaks down rock and adds organic matter. You could have this growing in domed sections with little to no resources but the domed while it conditions the soil for better plants that require more resources later.

  51. You can see anything moving slower than light since light is faster, so no. Then you just flat out make up a story about something moving through the galaxy. Been hitting the bong pretty hard, son?

  52. Carrying capacity only applies if you care about the ecology of the planet. If you are converting every square inch to human habitation or food production then carrying capacity does indeed lose meaning as nature is at that point non-existant.

  53. Stars don't have geography or mountains as they are not made of rock.

  56. There wasn't anything to experience that day so it doesn't count.

  57. Not much of secret. More of a an obvious requirement. Chaotic environments are probably bad.

  58.  @JohnMichaelGodier  Weirdly, he's actually right in that "kilometre" is the proper English spelling. "Kilometer" is American English. Aluminium vs aluminum.

  59. Gravity does not have a range limit. It just gets weaker, and nothing in the solar system is far away so far as the Sun's gravity is concerned.

  60. So the solution to the Fermi paradox is the machines become emo. All of them.

  61. They won't. The inner planets will be lost when they are absorbed and the outer ones will move much further from the Sun as it loses most of it's mass in the red giant stage, eventually escaping.

  62. You better tell all those dumb scientists who didn't think of the basics of your brilliant catch, sport. Dunning Kruger, soooooooo hard.

  63. I'm pretty sure the Roman Empire could be detected from the lead in the air from smelting but maybe not.

  64. They didn't have the brain structure needed so we as certain about that as we are certain they didn't have flying cars. We cannot be 100% certain about anything so bringing that up is meaningless in a scientific discussion.

  66. 8:46 LUCA would not have been alone, it's just the ancestor whose descendents survived while none of it's contemporaries did. So if course it would have an immune system.

  67. "NO, THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A SOLAR MICRONOVA" By Phil Plait It's just more pseudoscience woo woo bs. Nothing to be afraid of.

  68. Not nearly as much power as it would take to open such a portal.

  69. We didn't have the technology. Like, duh.

  70. Uh, why? There's no reason humanity won't be around for many thousands of more years. We've been around for over 100,000 already. Climate change will be unpleasant but hardly an extinction level event. Even a full scale nuclear war would leave most people in the Southern hemisphere alive.

  71. You mean breathing a huge sigh of relief. Any advanced civilization would be a threat.

  72.  @seanturner7  Go live in Somalia if you don't like taxes or the benefits they provide. Total free market there; no government to speak of. Paradise, no?

  73. This incredibly unlikely scenario? Ok.
