  1.  @astrofotoperu  the universe is so big it really doesn't make any difference to us at all whether it is actually infinite or not. As far as we're concerned, it might as well be. Even if we were to somehow able to travel at light speed (impossible) for 13 and a half billion years (also imposes) to where the light from the most distant visible part of the observable universe appears to come from, we'd find that during the resulting 27 billion years not only had it changed beyond all recognition but it had become even more distant from us than before. It's pretty much as close to infinity as makes no odds even if we travel at light speed for billions of years, and we're never leaving the solar system, so you may as well just think of it infinite.

  2. @S. M. I’m pretty open minded but I’m not stupid

  5. @S. M. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. If aliens were so advanced they could travel the vast interstellar distances required they wouldn't bother lurking, any more than European explorers didn't lurk when they discovered the new world

  6. @S. M. Ok i thought maybe you were being realistic, I'm willing to belive that there is life somewhere out there in the universe, even that maybe it's visited earth in some way in the past, maybe via Robots, but intelligent life in the solar system? Come on man. You'll be talking about lizard people next

  7. The coincidence isn’t that we live on a planet orbiting a yellow star, it’s that we live on a planet at all

  8. What does that mean exactly?

  9. Seem to remember musk saying the Mars rockets would be taking off this year, and they’re still doing orbit tests, think it might be delayed a bit

  10. But only if it moves ftl

  12. Is your cup of tea analysis Brownian motion?

  13. Exactly. Thought precisely the same myself for a long time. There’s already been multiple civilisation ending and mass extinction events on earth, even one 12 000 years ago which may have led to the collapse of previous human civilisations, never mind the event that wiped the dinosaurs out. And that’s not even taking into account the very real possibility we may wipe ourselves out through Man made climate change or nuclear Holocaust. There are a lot of chances over time for civilisations, like species, to end.

  14.  @TheH8redd  agreed. YouTube however doesn’t, and seems to have shadowbanned your comment because it doesn’t fit with the government propaganda narrative

  15. Plus, the universe is so young, relatively speaking, we’re literally at the cusp of the earliest probability that life could have evolved to this level. It pretty much stressed as soon as the earth was habitable for it, and the earth formed out much as soon as conditions allowed, it would be hard for intelligent life to have evolved any earlier

  16.  @troutster09  yeah it’s got naff all to do with us and we are naff all compared to it

  17.  @aroj745  I can see you’ve never been probed by an alien or watched species

  18. Yeah before we get ahead of ourselves let’s remember that we voted trump, Johnson and whoever is in charge of Australia, so intelligence is somewhat lacking in reality

  19.  @AlbertoGirardi747  ah ok nice one

  20. The Japanese space elevator will be far more important

  21.  @CoolWorldsLab  our current inability. I understand the engineering has some way to go yet but we’ve only just invented graphene, who knows what the future holds? I’m confident in our ability to solve that problem eventually, maybe through some graphene steel aluminium space alloy or something, I don’t know but when we do it will make getting things into space far far cheaper and easier. At least that’s my understanding of the physics. Maybe do a video about it if you haven’t already. Cheers

  22. Space is big. Really big. You might think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space.

  23. I reckon pretty much everything in our solar system has helped and could be crucial to life emerging, from Jupiter to the moon to being on the outer edge of the galaxy, maybe even the oort cloud, ergo knows. I doubt whether it’s just a coincidence that like just happened to emerge in this environment. If i was looking for life elsewhere ib would look for solar systems as similar to ours as possible
