I'm reminded of the Calvin and Hobbes strip with the punchline "Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us."

I quite like Dr. Carolyn Crawford's suggestion that instead of Dark Energy we call it Magic Pushy Stuff. Gives a much better impression of how little we know about it.

I think you need one more channel...how about one doing just space related content? Your delivery is so engaging I think it would do awesome. Love your stuff man

I must say - Mr Whistler will, some years for now, narrate a number of very influential documentaries. Never knew why until I heard him now. Very amazing orator.

I once heard a Physics Professor complain that they get inundated with letters from ignorant laymen who espouse ridiculous theories and who think they’re the next Einstein. A Simon video about space has much the same result 😂

1:53 every question answer brings forth 10 questions we can’t yet answer .
The brilliance of science is that it open doors to bigger mysteries, it’s not dogmatic and the most exciting thing for a scientist is finding proof they are wrong

I am someone very interested in these topics and am impressed by how good of an overview you gave. It was very clear and accurate. I usually watch these for fun on topics I have little familiarity with, but was pleasantly surprised with how well done this one is.

2:16 what caused the big bang?
4:49 where did all the antimatter go?
7:14 where are all the aliens?
11:19 what is dark matter?
13:45 dark energy

The sad part is with the progress of science and technology there is almost no doubt we would understand all of these questions in 100, 000 years let alone a few million. That being said the chance of us surviving that long without killing ourselves is significant.

I like NDT's take on the term "Dark Matter". He says, it shouldn't really be called "matter", because we don't know if it IS matter. It should be called "Dark Gravity", because all we know about it is it's gravity, but with our understanding of the universe, the only thing which can generate gravity is matter, so we call it this. However, maybe our understanding of the universe is slightly off, and something not matter is making all this extra gravity around us. But he also said at the end that this is just arguing over a name, and there are plenty of theorists out there who are looking for an explanation of this gravity without the need to find this extra invisible mass.

"Where is everybody?" If there are civilizations in other star systems more advanced than our own, what makes us think we could detect them? We're leery of announcing our own presence. And if they're less advanced, they'd be very hard to detect. The chance of there being a civilization that's almost precisely matched with our current level of technological development is virtually nil.

I love it when Simon Whistler talks about PHYSICS because he's normally good but at this he especially rocks. I'm a trained physicsts and the man is always ON THE MONEY when it comes to physics, very impressive for a non physics academic.

This video is exceptional for inspiring contemplation. I will save it to watch again.

The Fermi Paradox has never bothered me. Let's assume we are average. It took 13 billion years from T=0 for us to get where we are now, which is life emitting detectable waves out into the universe. Everything we can see that is beyond our immediate proximity is in the past still. We look out at an earlier universe that hasn't caught up to us yet.

[Solinvicti]

The aliens are out there, but the universe is mindbogglingly huge. There's no reason to think other intelligent life know we exist or have interstellar travel.

You know your addiction is bad when you need to drink something before you drink alcohol so you can get wasted and not feel it in the morning.

[TheEnigmaUniverse-vtpm]

Your channel continues to astonish me with its wealth of wisdom and insight. I'm truly grateful for the enlightenment you provide.

Hundreds of years from now, scientists will be asking another great question: "What came first, the Twitter or the stupid?".

I want to see a 48 live stream where Simon takes the Zbiotics then gets absoloutely trollied. BRING IT ON FACT BOY! btw I love your content

[willhunt]

The thunderboltsproject channel has really good counter solutions for dark matter
