I really like Brian, I believe hes genuinely a nice person along with being brilliant .

On a different post, Cox pointed out;
Definitely had an excellent point, that civilizations existing at the same time period would be rare. Our civilization round ten thousand years, just a blink of an eye, on a Galaxy time scale!

50 years ago there was uncertainty whether exoplanets existed. Now so much has changed.

Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids. In fact, it’s cold as hell.

We know how unique like our planet is yet we treat it like shit. It blows my mind and breaks my heart.

[jamiebee]

Maybe there are many, many civilisations in the universe that, like us, just can't see one another because we are all out of each other's observable views 😮.

If you lived your entire life on an island in the middle of an ocean...

Youd think you were alone...

But just over the horizon, is the truth...

[lesilestivany]

Traveling the vast distances, in real time is the universal problem🤔🤔

[scottbrown]

If we are so rare, then lets take care of Mother Earth and KICK ASS and spread life as far as we can. I see it as a duty to ALL our ancestors.

[michaelbraum]

Brian is easily one of the greatest minds in the field of Cosmology!!! 🐐🐐🐐🐐

I believe it may be FAR more common for civilizations wiping themselves out once reaching a certain point of technological advancement than not.

[banksgman]

The problem with this argument is that we have a sample size of exactly 1. That being Earth. Therefore, we don’t have all the variables to statistically conclude that it’s “inconceivable” for there not to be life elsewhere. Really the only thing you can say with absolute certainty is that… we don’t know.

But, of course, we should nonetheless look for it.

[markmuller]

What if they're not carbon and DNA based? Would we still recognise them by simply sending robots?

[bakshev]

IDK why people think alien life is either microbial or hyper advanced type 3 civilisation. It's absolutely possible to have planets with complex animal life like Earth before humans. It's absolutely possible to have planets with aliens in their Middle Ages or Renaissance. It's absolutely possible to have planets where you have aliens that are on our current level of development, or let's say 50-100 years ahead.

[billblack]

Definitely one of my dream people to just chill with and talk about things!!!

[UndercoverET]

I do like this guy.. just amazes me how the things we know still aren't explainable by our scientists. Soo much to learn which will turn much of what we know on its head.

[larncieldarknciel]

The conditions on earth have generated the forms of life we are familiar with. We yet to see what life forms can extreme conditions or better Earths can produce. Just looking at creatures from the deep gives me nightmares. I wonder what beauties and monsters are out there.

[TheRIBLING]

Could there be life beyond or spectrum of visibility so lifeforms resonating on a higher frequency than infrared or lower than ultraviolet?

[itsROMPERS...]

"we don't know, because we haven't bean there."

[watgaz]

Brian, the complexity of human life and it's habitable environment surely restricts it to a single galaxy. Other solar systems in our galaxy may have planets, but it is one of those 1 in 200 billion to 1 chances, that an Earth is created. That said, can we assume that every other galaxy out there harbours intelligent life in the guise of ? beings.? Due to the distances between galaxies, we will never meet or make contact.
