Comments by "David Aspinall" (@yt.personal.identification) on "Fermi Paradox: The Rare Galaxy Hypothesis" video.

  1. It is a philosophical question that has appeared in literature throughout history. Many people will find that they ask that question before ever hearing the name Fermi. It is a natural inquisition once a certain understanding of the universe is reached.

  2. In the 60s they created The Jetsons. A cartoon, but also a prediction of the future. How inaccurate was it? That was only 60 years ago. I see the prediction of a Dyson Sphere the same way. It is the best guess our minimal intelligence can make with the information we have - but that is a prediction of thousands of years into the future. If The Jestsons was so far off in 60 years, then why do we think the Dyson Sphere is a good guess for thousands of years in the future? We really do overestimate our intelligence.

  3.  @Casual-loop  Then substitute any other sci-fi as an example, rather than getting stuck on "The Jetsons" and missing the entire point. Or do you rule sci-fi out entirely as predictive because it is all just fiction?
