  1.  @GrimSleepy  There’s a stark difference between the two that you’re not currently seeing. According to virtually all religions: God is an immortal being that exists outside of the universe. A type 4 civilization is born within this universe, is finite and mortal, and can achieve godlike power and influence over the universe. If humans live long enough, and ascend far enough. We become those godlike beings. But we’re still not god, by the biblical definition. It’s like comparing a duck to a goose. Similar, but different. A type 4 could theoretically simulate universes. A type 5 could theoretically create baby universes. A type 6 could theoretically create and travel between full sized universes. A type 7 would be an eternal, all seeing being, responsible for the primordial plane of existence. Otherwise known as god. A type 4 isn’t even remotely close to this. So, I don’t understand how you are saying a type 4 is what you consider god.

  2. Your assumption is that an abundance of galaxies, stars, and planets guarantees abiogenesis elsewhere in the universe. Unfortunately, it doesn’t. We don’t know how likely abiogenesis is. We can’t even figure it out here on Earth. To speculate on the odds of it occurring elsewhere in the universe, is to lean on ones conviction, rather than logic. The logical counter argument to your statement about more stars in our galaxy, than grains of sand on Earth. If the chances of abiogenesis is say: 1 in an octillion. Then it’s statistically likely that we’re alone in the galaxy, as well as humans are a statistical impossibility. Earth would be unfathomably lucky to have abiogenesis occur. Alternatively, if the chances for abiogenesis is say: 1 in a trillion. Than it’s likely that there could be a few civilizations existing, or who have existed within the Milky Way Galaxy. If it’s 1 in a billion. Then it’s statistically likely that there’s life within 100 light years of us. If it’s less than 1 in a billion. Than statistically speaking, our galaxy should be full of life. Until we discover how abiogenesis happens, and how likely, or unlikely it is to occur. We cannot make biased assumptions based on our conviction with any sort of degree of confidence. It’s speculation in the absence of data. There’s nothing wrong with speculation. I just think it’s important to highly that for every argument that claims the universe has life elsewhere, has an equal argument in favor of the opposite. Vice Versa as well. Until more data is available, all options are equally as probable. Whether that be a desolate universe, or a universe full of life, or anything in-between.

  3.  @GrimSleepy  humans may one day simulate its own universe, with conscious beings existing inside of them. These beings would have no idea their simulated. So, does that make humans god?

  4. Science needs funding. How do you think they get it? By pandering to those willing to pay. You talk about cynicism and distrust. Well, duh. People are disconnected from science. So why the hell would they financially support it? Imagine what science could be, if rich parties had to compete with masses of passionate laymen, offering their coin for the betterment of humanity. Instead, laymen call scientists nerds & make fun of them. It’s a human problem, not a science problem.

  5. Within General Relativity, time travel to the past is impossible. Only forward time travel Is possible via time dilation.

  6.  @GG-ng6zm  I’m not saying there isn’t any fish in the ocean. My comment was to emphasize that taking a bucket to the ocean, is not sufficient to claim a universe full of life, or a universe void of life. We cannot use our own existence as proof of life beyond Earth. Our lack of information means that abiogenesis could be a regular occurrence, or extremely rare. Assuming life exists beyond earth due to the number of stars and planets, is to lean on ones conviction. Not a statistical probability, backed by data. I personally believe that life exists beyond Earth. But again, that’s my conviction in the void of evidence.

  7. Imagine thinking we didn’t land on the moon lmao.

  8. The Proto-Earth was inhospitable to life. It was also as small as Mars. The proto-Earth would be a dead planet right now, if not for the collision with Theia.

  9. Thousands is a scale to gauge our own galaxy with. When considering other galaxies, we’re on the scale of millions, to billions of light years.

  11. Yes we do. Nyanzipithecus alesi. The shared ancestor that all hominoids evolved from.

  12. Deconstruct Mercury with autonomous drones. Use a rail gun vehicle launcher to send the infrastructure into orbit around the sun. It’s a compounding process. The more infrastructure we send into orbit around the sun, the more energy is available to deconstruct Mercury more quickly. Once energy availability is sufficiently abundant. That energy can be used to fuel expeditions to the Oort Cloud, to begin harvesting resources. Those resources can be brought back to the sun, to further build more of the Dyson swarm/Dyson sphere. Eventually, we’ll have enough energy to venture into interstellar space, harvesting resources out there and bringing them back. Maybe even one day, we’ll venture to colonize a nearby star. The mirrors of a Dyson swarm can be orientated, to send an extremely concentrated and powerful beam of light. This beam could be used as navigation, a way to accelerate a craft, and a way to energize a craft for a long interstellar voyage.

  14. The video has nothing to do with god. Someone is a bit sensitive about the religious subject lmao.

  15. Ergosphere defined as the area in which a black hole can externally exhibit its angular momentum influence. Accretion disk where black holes deconstruct matter, into glowing and super heated streams of ionizing radiation via Spaghettification. Photon ring is where some photons get stuck in a permanent stable orbit, just before the event horizon. This is how you can see the front and back, top and bottom of a black hole simultaneously from any angle. Event horizon is the point of no return, where not even light or gravity waves can escape. Gravity is so immense at this point, that time stops existing, and spacetime flows faster than light towards the singularity. The inner event horizon represents the point in which spacetime ceases to exist. What happens within the event horizon, and the singularly, is currently unknown.

  16.  @justpassingbby  I’m atheist & yes I’ve seen the footage. It’s real. Skeptics claims have been debunked.

  17. No. Just. No.

  18. Sorta. They have an experimental fusion reactor, capable of generating plasma significantly hotter than the sun.

  19. Depends on the speed traveled.

  20. Type 5 is known as Type Omega. Complete control over this universe and it’s resources. A type 6 civilization is an alpha omega, capable of controlling multiple universes. A type 7 is a god, overseeing the entirety of creation. Whether it ascended there, or always was is another question.

  21. Advanced civilizations won’t use primitive radio waves. They likely will use gravity waves of neutrinos to communicate across the cosmos. They are better in just about every way when compared to radio waves. Radio is good for technologically illiterate species, like us, who’ve not mastered the physics of the universe yet.

  22. Yes. He mentioned that there are candidate galaxies that emit higher than expected radio frequencies, which could be indicative of a higher civilization, or a natural phenomena we don’t understand yet.

  23. We’re running out of resources and time. Even if we found a way to live in complete harmony with the planet. We’re still running out of time. The death of the sun as we know it. Venture beyond, or go extinct.

  24. So negative. We’re on the verge of fusion, becoming multi planetary, and possibly close to the theory of everything. Humanity is poised to advance more in the next 100 years, than the last 400,000 years combined.

  25. lol no

  26. Not really. Think bigger. What will humanity be like if it’s still around 5 million years from now? What if we, as a species, survive for a billion years? Think beyond your biological life.

  27. Nope. Just Mercury. That’ll provide enough material to get the sphere started & generating useable power. Next would be to start harvesting asteroid belts, and inevitably the Oort Cloud.

  28. The part where they found several candidate galaxies for intelligent life, where we’re receiving abnormal amounts of radio signals from them. Either alien, or a natural phenomena we don’t understand yet.
