Brian Cox - Alien Civilizations in The Milky Way

#science #shorts #space

[seanspartan]

Any sufficiently advanced technology would be undetectable to us or appear like magic. Imagine explaining what Wi-Fi is to a caveman...

[xkgfjzc]

we went from horseback to rocketships in less than 200 years, imagine a civilization that developed for a billion years

[johnhill]

What advanced civilization would want to make contact with us, when we can’t even get along with one another

[Free-uwjl]

A civilization 50, 000 years ahead of us could choose to remain completely invisible to us. Currently we could fly drones over aboriginal peoples and monitor them day and night without them having the slightest idea. Same concept.

[CALLAHAN]

Whoever is out there, I think they went through pretty much similar crap that we go through but they did it millions of years ago

[BurnoppMetal]

Life could be common, but intelligent life could be quite rare.

[Tall-Cool-Drink]

When human are clueless about a subject matter, we become very philosophical.

[chrispeloso]

Might be in a different plane of existence that we don't understand

[fez]

The universe is so old, many civilisation may have existed at one point. Probably very rare to have a civilisation that advanced thru millions of years. They probably die out before another civilisation pops up.

[Rho]

This assumes human behavior on creatures very different than us.

[nexusinc.]

The scary thing is that there might be something civilizations like that are hiding from

[e.m.]

We have only seen so little of the galaxy. It’s like looking at a cup of water from the ocean and saying there is no fish in the ocean

[larrywa]

I don't think it's a question of if there is life out there but it's more about when. Not all life happens now just because we are here.

[AriceptIforgot]

Imagine how advanced we would be if humans weren't so damn greedy.

[appdev]

The only shortfall in this story is - We can never imagine that such beings and their civilisations be like.
The max we can go is what movies show us, and that won't be even scratching the surface !!

[JLucht]

We are the only species that tries to put time in a box

[lindabryant]

If we are talking about a very advanced civilization, why would they bother to "write themselves across the sky?"

[JoseRodriguez-enbo]

When they come here over and over like so many of us have seen And they see how kind we treat each other, you know like how we never fight wars against each other and how we share all our food with the entire planet, yeah it's strange how they haven't stopped here seeing how friendly and rational we are?!

[highspeedboom]

The universe is teeming with life, we just can’t tell because of the vast distances between us and them.

[bobo-is-great]

There's a reason time has mentioned Orion, Pleiades and Draco and Lyra.
