The Dyson Sphere Debate and Von Neumann Probes w/ Dr. Zaza Osmanov

Has China's FAST telescope detected alien intelligence?
FAST can find Alien life. Has it already detected signals? Possibly, but it's possible that those signals that FAST has claimed to have detected are radio interference. FAST can be used in other ways to search for Alien signals. FAST can be used to find Von Neumann Probes, Dyson Spheres, and narrow band signals from Alien Civilizations.

If They’re Out There China's FAST Radio Telescope Can Find Them. Dr. Zaza Osmanov joins John Michael Godier to discuss multiple ways FAST can be used to find aliens. Including searching for micro von neumann probes and dyson spheres.

Do you think Dyson Sphere's are worth building? Are they feasible?
Let John know!

[strife]

Fascinating that we are living in a time, where there's all this conversation about possible extraterrestrial life.

[smsandel]

Thank you Dr. Osmanov for taking the time to do this little chat.
And John, you’re a guiding light to so many with an interest in astrophysics and science in general. Thank you so much for these wonderful discussions.

[markbeames]

I loved working with post-docs from abroad with a sense of humor like today's guest. Doubly so because he is NOT post-doc and yet has not lost his patience or humor.
Fantastic interview and John was obviously well prepared. Which his guest obviously appreciated and enjoyed.

[petrov]

This podcast deserves more attention. Great discussion over one of my favorite topics!

[JROD]

Man, the assumptions that Zaza keeps making about what extraterrestrials can do and can’t do is mind boggling.

If an extraterrestrial civilization is 1000 years more advanced than humanity, what do you think their material science and manufacturing capabilities might be?

Now imagine that same scenario, but for a civilization that is one million years ahead of us technologically.

Our relative pea brains could only feign an attempt at fathoming these beings as anything short of gods, just as our Paleolithic or Mesolithic ancestors would view us if we went back in time and interacted with them, but many times greater in magnitude for us compared to a possibly ancient and supremely technologically advanced civilization.

JMG and Dr. Osmanov, thanks for talk and episode. I am waiting for further interviews and talks. Truly one of the best things on yt. Thanks

[sheph]

Commenting to remember the late, great Freeman Dyson. I encourage everyone to look into his life. A remarkable story and great man

[stevencoardvenice]

Was this episode planned before China's announcement that they found some strange signals with the FAST telescope?

[hazyhalfmoon]

Gotta work on audio balancing, so many interviewees are lower volume than the host.

[stricknine]

Fun interview. Thanks for the episode.

[jangoodwin]

Thank you for all the great content, John!!

[va.melnyk]

Was just reading the three body problem by Liu Cixin, what an interesting timing

[sshuman]

Hi John love your work mate, always very interesting content and you make an excellent host with your guest's. You often quote their work which shows a level of respect from yourself to your guest. Keep it flowing John 👍

[rabidbunnies]

John, you asked about making a pulsar perfect for a ring. Why not alter the ring to be perfect for the pulsar? If the pulsar is very regular, any anomalies it exhibits will either be equally regular or not worth accounting for. Great episode! I really enjoyed this conversation.

[jkirch]

Controlled fusion would make a Dyson sphere obsolete. Why leech energy off of a star when you could build a star in a box to your exact specifications?

[gorbachevdhali]

Great episode - a bit confused though because at one point the guest says we don't have tech sensitive enough for dyson sphere suveys in other galaxies, but then later says we've surveyed hundreds and can definitively say there are none. At the same time, it was also said there are a few candidates in our own galaxy?

[Bronco]

can i just say that Zaza Osminov is an amazing name

[alecmeden]

Gotta admit, I’m very skeptical of Dr. Osmanov’s assumption that these probes could self-replicate utilizing primarily protium. Obviously we don’t know what their capabilities might be, but I know of no known process by which you could transmit garden variety hydrogen into complex machinery, much less how you would do that with the mass-energy available to a micro-scale probe. Again, we don’t know what we don’t know, but that seems like a capability almost on par with FTL travel. It would seem to imply novel artificial subatomic structures at the very least.

Intresting topic! Trying to figure out why we are still talking about Dyson spheres here? What is powering a UAP didn't see any cables from a sun connected to it! It's sitting in a quantum vaccume defeating gravity and moving at incredible speeds.What kind of energy consumption are we looking at here to achieve this? Possibly drawing the energy of a sun to achieve this technology in a small craft.The device must be small! Just pointing out some observations here!
