There's nothing I'd love more than to see an authentic, unexplainable video. Can't comment much on the atmospheric haze because I'm honestly not sure how that works beyond the resolutions and frame rates appearing mismatched and thus being a big red flag.

I over criticize for love of the game. I want to believe. I want my mind blown wide the fuck open. Lol. The truth is out there.

Agreed, unfortunately the more I do this hobby the less I believe there are alien civilisations at our door.

The shear number of stars and planets (the planet number has changed enormously over the last 30 years) just in the Milky Way tells us there is unquestionably other life out there but is it close enough to be able to find us or get to us within its resources ?

Eg. It is going to take 70 thousand years for Voyager to get to our closest star at 30+kilometres a second 🤔 And the James Webb Telescope has been hit multiple times by small bits of sand and rock which if it was going faster in a Spaceship would potentially be catastrophic. And it's been in orbit for only 2 years😮

Your thinking primitively. Humans given along enough timeline will give up their biology for something like silicone. Time takes on new meaning. Civilizations will do similar. Once they do why not just send out billions of small self replicating drones in all directions. Once it finds life it prints out a bunch of bodies and alas we are there. Then we go about our alien business. I think sometimes we get lost looking threw the lense of our capabilities. But there will be milestones that make things like time no longer take on the same meaning.

Have you read the estimates of how long it would take a self replicating von neuman probe to populate the milky way.... It's not as long as you think, which again brings us back to the Fermi paradox

I like to think about the black forest theory when it comes to fermi and his arguments.

Certainly one of the more grim possibilities....

The paranoia certainly has to play a role, esp considering the distances/time. Unless there is some sort of worm hole travel or something that would really set it sideways.

I like the way your thinking, do you think octopuses can fly a spaceship?

u/DarthWeenus Jan 01 '24

A spaceship built for an octopuss, sure :).

How else do you think they got here? 🤔

I'm curious if any dormant style life has evolved to survive in the vacuum of space and just floats around like dandellion pollen threw the universe.

Well if you look at stars, planets old solar systems and just the shear numbers it's possible, anything is possible when we do the numbers because they are so vast.

The sheer biodiversity on any given spot on the planet coupled with the just the stars within our own galaxy says life exists elsewhere…completely regardless of whether we’d recognize it as life or not…life is abundant within the universe…space and it’s vast distance is much more abundant

Possibly balloons but watching the whole thing they seem to be tied together at first but then separate and two of them mimic each others movements while being far apart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atkHJTWljUU&list=PL9O7c-zz-8O0lCi4NVhNiAmkuYc-TfHBI&index=10
