What if We ARE Alone in the Universe?

What if We ARE Alone in the Universe? – Second Thought

We’re going to do something a little different today! In this video we’ll engage in a simple thought experiment and consider what would change if we knew we were alone in the universe, as well as two modifications of that premise. Make sure to leave a comment with your thoughts!

Yes lets just troll some aliens and build pyramids on their planets

[lookingforwookiecopilot]

Somewhere on the other side of the Universe some dude is asking this very same question!😗

[seeno]

It would be terrifying to discover that we're alone, but on the other hand we'd have an entire universe to traverse without fear of intelligent obstruction.

[lucaucaxd]

Or aliens have the same technology like us and they cant find us because we cant find them either

[ClarkKent-npsr]

Simple. We do what everybody does when they think they're are alone. Play porn on loud speakers

[derossi]

If we are alone, everything in the universe is ours.

[FireTiger]

*If there is only 1 advanced civilization per galaxy, that means that there are 100 Billion civilizations in the known universe! It's incredible!*

[cup_check_official]

Its highly unlikely that humanity will meet aliens within my lifespan so we are alone for me.

[gundown]

Can humans place a giant wall of text saying first? ;)

[timcribbs]

you should do a vid on how long it would take to build the pyramids today

[clashontitan]

Damn imagine in another galaxy there talking about our planet😂lol

[datahawk]

If we really are alone...






Then that means we don't have to share the universal wifi password

[TheRealtorZach]

Isn't it kinda funny we all expect aliens to be REALLY smart with new technology, what if they are saying that about us?

[Kemot]

What if We ARE Alone in the Universe? Then it's a MEGA HUGE waste of space.

[videoslackeditor]

"Are we the first or the last species?"

THIS IS TERRIFYING!😷

[screwy]

what a great time too be alive! to early too see aliens, too late too explore our own earth

[melsoro]

Somewhere on the other side of the universe an alien just discovered fire. Imagine that.

[huntakilla]

Most people can't fathom how big space is, you could travel a billion light years into a direction and you wouldn't reach the end of the universe. The probability that we're alone seems extremely low. I'm convinced somewhere out there, there is intelligent life form.

[kaioken]

What if humanity leaves this planet but we get split of onto different planets all across the universe.

But then we all evolved according to our planet's climate. And one day we ended up bumping into each other and thinking that they're aliens?

[mateipopescu]

Damn. I dont know if anyone else agrees with me, but everyone who is living has been born *too late to explore the Earth and too early to explore the universe* . We will live our lives, get in the near future, see the colonization of Mars, technological advances but we, the ones who are alive today, wont get to see humanity colonizing another solar system or find the answer to the singularity of a black hole etc. We are left here to wonder, but at least we are building the foundation for the next generations
