Can We Solve Fermi's Paradox? with Dr. Duncan Forgan

**climate change will not drive humans to extinction**

The solution to the Fermi Paradox is all the aliens hanged themselves in a nihilistic fit after listening to Dr. Duncan Forgan wax pessimistic for an hour!
Jeeeezus, this guy is a giant wet blanket! Lol 😃

When you use sound to break the fabric of space/time, as you understand it, "light" can move much faster. You're welcome

the solution is simple, intelligent life is only beginning at the universe, and we are one of the first civilizations

I hope we (humans) will make a shift at some point, we need minds like Dr. Duncan Forgan, and John Michael Godier who do a brilliant job tackling these profound and fundamental questions.
Thank you for sharing these magnificent insights and not doubting to think out of the box.

Wasn't getting something up past the speed of sound very hard, if not impossible once upon, and u have the US military dogfighting with things that seem to defy the laws of physics, I would be so quicky to say we are not being visited anymore.

To me this is all just a big pipe dream. Either the aliens have technology that we will never detect them, or other civilizations are so far away in the galaxy, we will never make contact with any of them. Proof???? Was there any alien evidence in the so called Roswell incident - 1947? If so, why is the government still hush hush about it?
To me, we are the only intelligent life in the universe and how long we will survive, it will be if mankind doesnt destroy themselves.

OMG, this is very anti Human. Smart but it feels like he is very hope less.

Your guest is a religious anti-humanist. He’s more cynical and pessimistic than me. I thank God (our lucky stars) that scientists like him aren’t in charge of my life’s influences.

The solution to the paradox is: we are too far away to see any other civilizations because they are likely to have needed the same amount of time since creation to develop, therefore light and or cosmic electromagnetic emissions from their localities have not yet reached us to be detected, and probably won’t within the span of human existence because the universe is accelerating as it expands effectively making our observable sphere smaller all the time.

Stars give brith to planets that’s why they are around stars

A designer does not not start designing and there are so many lifeforms on this planet that live in such diverse situations that it’s absolutely foolish to think that there are not other lifeforms out there though they may be limited they are there and there are other universities out there beyond our vision I don’t believe in singularities

I don’t know where this doctor got his degree but he’s not learned in the department that he speaks and he has a very limited imagination if men can think it it can be so and he’s never at least in his conversation mention dimensions string theory or anything of that nature is the pattern is linear from one point to the next and what he can see

You’ve seen nothing? You must be living under a rock.

We’ll never advance while we have idiots and psychos in positions of power😊

Great episode I really enjoyed the interview. Our galaxy is so unimaginably huge, that even in 1000 years I would not dare to put on the table the option that we are the only technological civilization. Not to mention the neighboring galaxy, the local group and so on.

Humans have looked at 6000 stars when they have looked at 12000.000. stars life might be common

Dr. Forgan seems to me to be more level headed than most who speak on this subject, including the host of this series. I believe he is on the right track in suggesting that intelligent life forms could be rare or short-lived. People who think life must be everywhere just because there are a lot of planets are led to say the silliest things, like the host’s idea of looking for signature flashes from atomic weapons.

Earth is self evidently perfect for life, and yet as far as we can tell, life has only originated here *once*.

If this planet is so well suited to life, why isn't it originating all the time?

Our presumptions around this topic are, in my view, very naive and way off the mark

This has to be the most pessimistic conversation I’ve ever heard on pretty much every subject addressed.

By the way the lain reads in English "out of many" I knew the Latin wold come in use one day apart for psychology.

Left for a while glad to be back

What is to say the so called probes have not visited in the past 4 billion years? It’s been 100+ years of the radio and we’re already the smartest in the galaxy 😂😂. Smart enough to think the universe is sterile & we’re something special. We humans think we’re special but in reality we’re not.

I don't think we have sufficient data to be calling climate change (which I think is a great term) man made habit "whatever-it-is"

I think it's the typical arrogance of humans, including scientists, to use a tiny amount of data to think they understand something that has happened before, a man made event this time.

Saying things such as "nature never intended" displays arrogance. We don't even understand gravity, something we've experienced for a hundred thousand years, but we know exactly what's caused this current climate change?

Can’t listen to vocal fry.

🫀🖤🫀

Humans were always bound to have a shot. We have the hands and fingers.

Where doesnthe idea that we could see anything like probes or ships or whatever the sliens might send out from their planets? How can you say "we don't see any evidence" when we can barely see the planets of other systems and nothing is in real time. A system 80 light years out could have aliens wizzing around in space LeBarons mining asteroids and setting up space casinos and if we were looking right at them we'll see all of jack and shit so????

You seem to have many theories, none of which have anything like established evidence, they are all educated guesses. In the same breath you are ready to dismiss as barmy the tens of thousands of photographic, filmic, video, radar and satellite imagery which we do actually possess. This is not to mention the recent evidence given by David Grusch and other witnesses who are trained professional pilots, retired army top brass, police officers, senior politicians and highly regarded university professors. Nor do you take into account the millions of eye witness accounts of ordinary folk of UAP, sometimes en masse, which have been recorded since the 1950's and earlier. There can be very little doubt that the US is in possession of "non-human biologics" and recovered "crashed crafts" which far exceed our current capabilities, from whichever nation you hail.
Your willful ignorance and arrogance is astounding in light of this vast body of evidence. Your theories are a waste of time and space, there is no Fermi paradox. Bury your head in the sand if you want, but ET is here and has been for a very long time.

Should go without saying everything you do JMG on here is top of my daily list. That said, this has been one of my favs so far. Forgan sums up my personal views—as you often do. I am however increasingly perplexed by the the incompetence in science and the lack of notice of the fact our cosmology has become akin to religious belief. Why are we still speaking of accelerating universe? Sarkar showed undeniably that we must abandon this. And King Gravity needs to be dethroned; perhaps our rotation models would work if we did not assume the absence of charge. We’re mapping magnetic fields but no one ever points out only moving charges can create it. It’s cognitive dissonance. The moment you say this, folks call you Wal Thornhill—and it needs to stop. I find this type of belief structure in so many places—from the obvious and familiar to the very places that purport it’s absence. It was refreshing to hear loeb, however briefly, opine on the need to embrace paradigm changes. But a man who can question his belief structure and lineage is a rare man. This needs to be a center piece in any honest intellectual process.
Forgive my pontification. I’ve simply had enough of the Priests of modernity.

One day when CFC's are detected in an exoplanet's atmosphere scientist will beat their heads trying to figure what in nature creates CFCs, because it's NEVER aliens.

I find it hard to believe that the reason we can’t have extraterrestrial visitors somehow is that the technology and physics is very hard. Imagine someone else that had 7000 years more to develop or even double that and think where our physics and science were 200 years ago. how impossible would the scientists think our daily life would be?

Thanks!

Machines have the advantage of needing zero sleep, rest, or food beyond an energy source for maintenence. I imagine a machine "society" absolutely committed to LEAVING its home world (Machines have to first be created by whatever beings existed before them/created them)once realization of its impending doom, when the star that lights its world, runs out of fuel. If it were aware of such, or suddenly becomes aware of this, I imagine it'd "focus" on leaving that planet to then, inevitably, explore the universe to KEEP moving from world to world to establish itself whilst exploring. It could decide to simply remain in the vacuum of space to protect itself from the dangers involved in LANDINGS and colonization. I love thinking about such possibilities. ❤😂

No one wants to talk to Death Worlders .

Love the channel, This Ep has a very funny outro (Even though I love the current 'LIIIIIIIVVEEE')

The primordial soup idea is absurd. Life did not "arise" on earth. It was here from the beginning of the universe. Inanimate particles do not become life. If that were the case, we would have created life by now. The only life we know of comes from other life. Life was created with the universe not in it.

The only Titanic game changer is if a alien spaceship shows up in the solar system and then proceeds to bombard Earth.

Microbiology isn't that crazy man...

We have studied 20 million stars, and not one can support life as they are ALL too unstable, we are alone. The Sun is the only stable star. Also of the 4,300 solar system studies, not one looks like our solar system, able to support life. The Milky Way Galaxy is the only stable barred spiral galaxy. In other galaxies, there is no place for a rocky planet without deadly radiation or orbit interference. Earth’s vast and stable magnetic field is unique, most planets the magnetic field is short-lived or unstable. Earth’s magnetic field protects life from deadly radiation. The list can go on and on (rotation rate, astrosphere, right carbon dioxide, low carbon monoxide, one large moon, very low eccentricity). There are 5,759 confirmed exoplanets, not one looks like Earth or any of the planets in our solar system. We have looked and we are alone.

Fruit flies.

Fermi's paradox is solved. There's nobody out there. Anywhere. Only here on Earth.

Another "PHD doctor" questioning climate change .. Ask George Carlin

Does an ant know it's in an ant farm?
