Neil degrasse Tyson Are We Alone

www.myspace.com In the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), researchers differentiate between advanced and non-advanced civilizations. An advanced civilization is defined as one with the ability to conduct interstellar communication — to send electromagnetic signals through space. Using this definition, human civilization only became advanced within the past century, when local communication such as radio and television broadcasts began to be transmitted to interstellar space.

    I really hope we hear an alien signal loud and clear and unmistakeable..It could change? the world for the better… It can’t come soon enough for me.

  2. dummychaos says:

    I don’t always talk about interesting space stuff? on TV, but when I do, I sit like the coolest guy on? earth.

  3. curryeater259 says:

    It would be incredibly arrogant for us to say? we are alone. There are approx. 10 trillion planets in our Universe. So far, we have looked at about 1,000 planets. Just because there isn’t life on 1,000 planets doesn’t mean there isn’t life on the other 9,999,999,000 planets….

  4. ricdon1515 says:

    Nice to see you are so alone with so much time to make a mockery of my stupidity. At least I commented on an intelligent? scientist. Put the computer down and go back to school you dropout….

  5. MrSpearchuck says:

    Lol it’s funny when idiots like you think you have a shred of intelligence and decide to throw your two cents in. The rest of us have a great time making a? mockery of your stupidity.

  6. boredfun91 says:

    I think you misunderstood what? he was saying.

  7. terran236 says:

    the chances of aliens looking like us is small. A different planet will have a different species, they dont have to walk upright. And he didn’t say there was a? small chance of finding life. He just said there is a small chance of us noticing a signal from another planet.

  8. ricdon1515 says:

    I love Neil, but I call bullshit…….How can we have such a small chance of producing Humans in all the Galaxys,? yet think we are alone? Wrong..

  9. iiAbide says:

    Look the buddhists were? right. Its Sagan reincarnated

  10. nuoipter termer says:

    I thought I saw a TV program where a man said radio signals dissipate after? 1 or 2 light years.

  11. darnpenguin says:

    From the moment humanity realized? that we could shape the world around us, we’ve been doing so. We’ve changed the course of evolution for other life forms through domestication or outright eradication. Would other species still have failed to “master technology” without our intervention?

  12. ascendrio says:

    when he said that? out of all those times only once technology came , what makes him think it came out itself? i mean isn’t it more probable then that maybe some basic form of knowledge was brought here , not much but just enough to get us on track.

  13. justinjacques766 says:

    he kinda sounds like Anthony Bourdain a bit lol.?

  14. jesusrapedkids says:

    Right on? bro, I was thinking the exact same thing.

  15. andrea tavarez says:

    muy intresante saber que tenemos comunicacion por esos satelite tan increible hes la creacion for life?

  16. TheCrazyfruitbat says:

    I’m not sure if it was Steven Hawkins on about the digital universe theory? But it’s definitely a? real theory and a theory that the matrix movie came from. Is it possible? Is it crazy? Who knows but one things for sure, don’t underestimate possibilities because of someone else’s ideas.

  17. TheCrazyfruitbat says:

    So my points are that, most of what we publicly know, is based on someone’s ideas and just because someone has more credibility then another, don’t make? them more right.
    Apparently some scientists including Steven Hawkins (I think it was?) believes we are in a digital universe. It’s where everything out of your sight, disappears and reappears when you look at it. Just like a computer game, where so much of what you see is being downloaded but when you come away from that, it disappears.
    Crazy?

  18. TheCrazyfruitbat says:

    This has happened time and time again? throughout history. So what makes you think things have changed in the scientific community? It hasn’t.

  19. TheCrazyfruitbat says:

    ” Your proposition is that no one publishes a single scientific paper until all is known and? proven?” that’s not what I’m? saying at all, I’m saying they lay out the many theories and pick which one seems most logical to them and then go with that. But when someone questions it, they either mad or ignored because they may not have same credibility as the scientists who claim their theories to be correct.

  20. TheCrazyfruitbat says:

    Do you believe all this freak weather is from global warming that is said to be completely mankind own doing? Well don’t you think it’s funny how every time their has been big earthquake or tsunami, few days after its reported on the news How nasa has captured more footage of massive sun flares.
    So i? think behind closed doors, government scientists know what’s going on but publicly slowly claiming that old discoveries to be new. Their are so many this we are kept in the dark about.

  21. TheCrazyfruitbat says:

    You read about the corkscrew orbit theory? Well look that up. it looks more likely like this, then what we learn at school. Oh? and did you know our sun has gotten brighter and hotter? And apparently that the earth’s rotation is slowing down. So believe it or not, our solar system is changing.
    Do you believe Mars is a red planet with no possibility for life? Yet if you look hard enough, you will find its completely oppersite. Why you think all the interest in Mars?.

  22. TheCrazyfruitbat says:

    One of these planets was twice the size of Jupiter and scientists claim its simply not their, till it was discovered that the planet does? exits just past Pluto. Look up new planet discovered. So again, modern astronomy fails because of its own ignorance compared to ancient astronomy who apparently didn’t have the technology to know these planets exist but once again they make modern astronomy look like new comers.
    As for the orbit of the solar system…

  23. TheCrazyfruitbat says:

    Did you know many still refer to Pluto as a dwaf planet and recently discovered? more moons around it. Could explain why their is a probe on its way to the planet because they “officially” claim to know very little of it. The fact that few planets that were mentioned in ancient astronomy that exist in our solar system, for years many so called “respected” nasa scientists said it was rubbish.

  24. swithnell says:

    Take a look a Pluto – for years Pluto was a planet. Now it’s not a planet. Superficially this supports your point. However, what is known about Pluto hasn’t changed, but the definition of what a planet is has changed. Those scientists had been really idle about defining a planet. It didn’t not change our understanding of the universe at all. Is the fact that the earth orbits the sun going to change? No. Is the accuracy of? the definition of the orbit going to improve? Yes!
