As Carl Sagan said, “The Universe is a pretty big place. If it is just us, seems like an awful waste of space”.

It's fun to see Eck utilizing the "& more" part of the channel slogan and making different content he clearly finds interesting. I'd be on board for more of this.

[Ryuk]

The universe is so monumentally, incomprehensibly huge that I find it impossible to conceive that there is NO life anywhere else. That said, that same infinite size of the universe make it also infinitely unlikely that we will ever see or contact them, if they're even intelligent.

[Ivbo]

We’re not alone…I don’t think it’s even a real question to ask. There’s absolutely no way that out of more planets than all the grains of sand on all the beaches and deserts on planet Earth, we’re the only one who harbours life.

All forms of life should be everywhere in the universe, from bacteria to animal and even intelligent life forms, they are probably countless. We haven’t searched long enough to find them but they are 100% out there, saying we’re alone is like scooping a cup of water out of the ocean and coming to the conclusion that because there’s no fish in your cup then there must be no fish in the entire ocean.

I know a guy who worked at NASA for decades. He said to me once, "All we find are dead planets. There's no rule that says we aren't living in a graveyard. But that must also mean there's nothing to say we're yet to glimpse Eden."

I want us to find alien life, but I also don’t. It’s a 50\50 chance that the aliens could be hostile, or relatively peaceful. I don’t think there’s any alien life in our solar system, but it’s hard to think that’s there’s no life in the entire universe. Good vid, keep up da good work :)
#AskEck How big are tubrolasers? ( what is the size of the turret/gun)

[nicktechnubyte]

Both answers can be equally terrifying if you think about it!

[johneagen]

I'd like to think that we're not the only sentient beings in the universe. Growing up, I really loved the original BSG narration because of its possibility: "There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. They may have been the architects of the great pyramids, or the lost civilizations of Lemuria or Atlantis."

[MrNoscopeJones]

Love the higher-concept sci fi episodes you've been doing lately.

[skelty]

Love this content!

I’ve been down the rabbit hole for years now. There is definitely something going on in our skies and oceans, but for many reasons it is unlikely to be aliens (as much as I would like that to be the case)

[Theology.]

I like to think (hope) that we are alone not because of anything that might be ahead, but rather we are just early.

We’re the first.

The conditions for life would’ve been absolutely impossible for the majority of galactic history - Earth formed at the perfect time to avoid the worst of the galaxy-destroying gamma ray bursts. Given the speed that we’ve gone from base intelligence to leaving orbit has been insanely fast on almost any time scale, its not unreasonable to think that others may not have risen to their peaks as quickly as us.

[daganlove]

I really am fascinated by the argument made in close encounters of the fifth kind. Super fascinating stuff about consciousness, quantum mechanics, and the intricacies between the two

[Lure_]

I've also heard that the universe is very young and life began on earth just when it all calmed down a bit, I know the universe itself seems old, but we have to take into account that for iron to form for example stars have to die, the same goes for all elements that are vital for life as we know it. In this sense it could be that we are the first, because we just happened to be in the right time. If the expansion of the universe keeps accelerating new civilizations may never know that other galaxies even existed.

[ADogWithGlasses]

Please do more conceptual topics like this!

[tatemeyer]

I’m not sure what’s scarier, being alone in the universe, or not?

[Lungorthin]

Loved this style of video. Got old-school Vsauce type vibes from it.

[appo]

We’re that neighborhood that aliens lock their airlocks when flying by. 😎

I love watching Fermi Paradox videos.

[existentialselkath]

I saw a comment of a vid about the dark forest theory that went something like, "what if you finally got a signal back and it translated to 'be quiet or they'll find you'"

[JoshuaBenitezNewOrleans]

Talking about existentialism and extraterrestrial life with Eck? Love it

Slight correction on the nearest galaxy to us, it's often referred to as Andromeda but that isn't correct. There is a galaxy around 40, 000 light years away that is a satellite of the Milky Way, and will eventually collide with it. If that isn't mind blowing enough, we're actually very gradually getting closer to the Andromeda galaxy. So over the eons they too will eventually collide.
