At 9:25 the expression, "if we got invaded, we might not even know why.." that gave me chills and I think would be the most likely scenario.

u forgot No.11: Eradicating earth to make way for a super hyperspace freeway..

"usurper of the sun" is a pretty awesome novel about an alien von Neumann style probe that enters our solar system and tries to build a Dyson sphere around our sun

As Rick said in Casablanca, "There are certain sections of New York that I wouldn't advise you to try to invade".

Just imagined two mormon-looking aliens knocking on my door, willing to speak about their lord Globulob

"They want to support their military-industriel complex."

They've come to warn us about a giant asteroid impact that will destroy most life on Earth. It just took them 65 million years to get here.

Your videos here and on EH are the best to just have on in the background. Seriously it sparks my imagination and calms me down, thank you.

[martinsz]

I love listening to these videos. you really argue with in realistic terms and not just fantasize around. Good work and thanks dude!

Wiping out competition before we can advance enough to pose a threat?

#9 is my favorite. "Sorry, apes, but we were here first" would be a helluva first decoded "extraterrestrial" signal

[CrumBummin]

And I for one, welcome our new insect overlords

I love this channel. He speculates on crazier shit then raw science channels but still bases everything in legitimate science. It really is perfect content.

Boston Dynamics should stop kicking their robots around, just in case.

"We are the Borg. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile."

[alexandrealonso]

JMG, I must say that's usually very dificult to watch your videos... but wait! I mean that as a total compliment! I keep finding myseld pausing the videos whenever you say something that crazilly catches my attention and when I realize I've been through uncountable hyperlinks doing research on the subject! So yeah, a 20 mins video can easily turn into a 2h long Universe appreciation hahaha
Thanks a lot, by the way!

Intelligent dinosaurs that escaped the extinction of their less intelligent cousins 65 million years ago come back. I think I remember a short story or novella with that theme from my heavy sci-fi period of the '70s and '80s.

Self replicating technology makes me think of the Replicators on Star Gate. I'll pass thanks.

​I'm of the opinion that earth is the ghetto of the galaxy and the traveling aliens wind their windows up and try not to make eye contact when they pass by.
