The Universe is incredibly big and seems full of potential for life, with billions of habitable planets. If an advanced civilization had the technology to travel between the stars, at just 0.1% of the speed of light, It could colonize our galaxy in roughly 100 million years. Which is not that long given the billions of years the milky way has existed – so in principle any spacefaring civilization should be able to spread rapidly over huge sectors of the galaxy. And yet we see nothing, hear nothing, the universe seems empty. Devoid of others. This is the Fermi Paradox, which we have discussed in more detail in other videos.
Confronted with the seemingly empty universe, humanity faces a dilemma. We desperately want to know if we are alone in the Milky Way. We want to call out and reveal ourselves to anyone watching but that could be the last thing we ever do. Because maybe the universe is not empty. Maybe it’s full of civilizations but they are hiding from each other. Maybe the civilizations that attracted attention in the past were wiped away by invisible arrows. This is the Dark Forest solution to the Fermi paradox.
This is a cool channel & I thank you. I don’t have any say on any alien life or not. Yes, maybe some small micro organisms have been located far away.
The 1st book on the subject apparently was Life on Other Planets by Emanuel Swedenborg. Never read it.
All though I have always been a fan of science fiction if the story appeals to me, I don’t believe in Aliens. Of course they can be a reflection of people’s fears.
The Ist film about aliens was A Trip to the Moon. One of my favorites.
I don’t look into “disclosure “, although lots of people do. This is only me, but I feel most of that could be military. Honestly I don’t know & don’t have a leg to stand on regarding the subject.
