The Fermi Paradox: Where is Everybody? Is There Any Other Intelligent Life Out There?

Arthur C. Clarke said, “Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.” Over the course of 50 years, we have had no luck finding extraterrestrial or Alien life. In 1950, Enrico Fermi asked a question, “Where is everybody?” This question became one of the most famous paradoxes in science, the Fermi paradox. Let’s understand this question and try to answer it.
It’s hard not to be moved when looking at the night sky. Everyone experiences the beauty of a good, starry night in their own way. Enrico Fermi felt something too- “Where is everybody?” A starry night sky might seem vast, but the truth is, we are only looking at our local neighborhood. On a very fine night, with no light pollution or bad weather to block your view, you could see up to 3000 stars only and almost all of them would be less than a 1000 light years away from us. So what we can actually see is a tiny portion of our galactic neighborhood. When we are talking about distant stars and planets, a question that almost everyone of us would have had is, Are there any other intelligent life out there? Let’s understand this from the lens of science.
Before going forward, we need to understand something called the Kardashev scale. The Kardashev scale helps us group intelligent civilisations into different groups according to their level of technology.

Please note that all the telescopes looking for 'intelligent life' are pointed away from Earth.

[Vexterian]

Actually the answer to the Fermi paradox is clear and simple, the universe is teaming with plenty life but they are separated by the shear space and time between them. This explains it.

[baronvg]

I’ve heard that Clarke quote for years and I go back & forth on it. Being alone in the universe would suck but then again, I’d also rather not be exterminated by a more advanced civilization.

[DiyorbekEshboboyev-pj]

This is awesome and useful content thank you!

More videos about extraterrestrial life and time nature.

[copious]

I'm leaning towards #4. The math for possible habitable planets brings out staggering numbers (to me anyway). We have not even explored our closest neighboring planet properly yet much less our galaxy and not mentioning the universe, our knowledge on what is out there is not even a billionth of a percent, the cup of water and shark analogy.
The other possibility is that we are in a sim and that update hasn't landed yet because we can't process it properly yet.

[JosephHess-wuoi]

There is an intriguing theory suggesting that the reason we haven't found other civilizations is related to the universe's age, which is around 13 billion years. This theory posits that either the universe is still young, making us the first intelligent beings to emerge, or the universe is old, and we are among the last.

You are not alone, look around you, You are finding new species of life everyday on Your planet cherish and nurture it and you will be surprised what you find.

[jwhite]

Space is really big and we have only looked at a small part

[IOJFJM]

We're so little and rare. It seems the configuration of our solar system is rather unusual, so the Fermi equation might need adjusting. But there's also the concept of life and intelligence: we only know "this".
Great video. I'd just recommend lower the volume of the music. I loved the music, but at times it was louder than the narrator, and it's distracting if it takes over 🤭

[yotsuyu]

We could just be in a simulation, where aliens do not exist

[braxxian]

The universe is so big and so old the chances of 2 species arising to technology development at the same time in the same area of space are virtually nil.

[luckyloonie]

No we are not alone! The stars are teaming with life🌎... We as a species are still too primitive and childish... #TDBank🌎💘💰

[krulerwest-oz]

The argument that we are alone in the universe is so ego driven, one key point is our planet is teeming with life, not just human, so we are not alone already, as apes and dolphins are intelligent, oh and crows etc etc,
So using that metric and extrapolating that not only is there billion x billions Earth type planet there is the possibility for those plants to have more than one intelligent life form, let only the staggering math for non intelligent life.

[customketodietonline]

I believe we are not alone although not experienced it yet but due to the way humanity as been behaving we want to assume we're alone so as to feel superior but the universe is vast as nasa as said and showed us it's so impossible to be the only ones In this universe

[freddiewrld]

what's terrifying of being alone?

[edroth]

Of course there is intelligent life in the Universe. . . . . . . Someday that life form will visit Earth.

[mikelzabala]

Me resulta difícil creer que no exista más vida que la terrestre pero encontrarla es otro cantar

[meatwad]

Kardeshev scale is that a type 1 can ‘utilize’ all of the energy available on its planet. Not used up . Same for type 2 and 3. Getting turned off from a lot of informative channels lately. Seems they are utilizing Ai or bots

[brunoc]

V vesolju so pametnejše civilizacije kot zemljani, ki se med seboj pobivamo
