Are We Alone? Are we the only intelligent life in the universe? Are there alien civilizations?Prof. David Kipping of the Cool Worlds lab at Columbia University spoke with John Michael Godlier about his most recent paper. What are the odds for intelligent life? Are there alien civilizations in the galaxy? Or are the odds against intelligent life?Prof. Kipping attempts to find answers to these questions using a Bayesian Analysis to look at life’s early start and our late arrival. The rare earth hypothesis argues that the origin of life and the evolution of biological complexity required an improbable combination of astrophysical and geological events and circumstances.Watch and subscribe to the Cool World's channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGHZpIpAWJQ-Jy_CeCdXhMAThe Odds of Life and Intelligence: https://youtu.be/iLbbpRYRW5YJoin the search for vanishing stars here: https://www.su.se/english/research/research-news/look-to-the-sky-and-help-researchers-in-a-new-citizen-science-project-1.496340Kipping, D. 2020, "An Objective Bayesian Analysis of Life’s Early Start and Our Late Arrival", PNAS: https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2020/05/12/1921655117Carter, B. 2007, "Five or six step scenario for evolution?", Int.

Can anything go faster than the speed of light?Scientific Searches for Aliens, Superluminality, and Impossible Knowledge are all subjects that John Michael Godier discusses with Dr. Robert Nemiroff a professor of physics at Michigan Tech. Dr. Nemiroff is hosting the 100th anniversary of the great debate between Harlow Sapley and Herber Curtis with a new question, how will humanity first discover extraterrestrial life? Other discussion subjects include, Is time travel to the past possible? One way to answer that is by searching the internet for evidence of time travelers.Link: 100th Anniversary of the great debate: https://apod.nasa.gov/debate/debate100th.htmlDebat Video channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsSSm2_iOLoyPudBNO-Wv0QAstronomy Photo of the Day: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap170510.htmlhttps://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap171210.htmlSearching the Internet for evidence of time travelers: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1312.7128.pdfWant to support the channel?Patreon: EventHorizonShowFollow us at other places!Website: https://www.eventhorizonshow.com/Twitter: @jmgeventhorizonInstagram: @jmgeventhorizonMusic featured on Event Horizonhttps://stellardrone.bandcamp.com/https://migueljohnson.bandcamp.com/https://leerosevere.bandcamp.com/https://aeriumambient.bandcamp.com/FOOTAGE:NASAESA/HubbleESO - M.KornmesserESO - L.CalcadaESO - Jose Francisco Salgado (josefrancisco.org)NAOJUniversity of WarwickGoddard Visualization StudioLangley Research CenterPixabayLink:Want to support the channel?Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EventHorizonShowFollow us at other places!Website: https://www.eventhorizonshow.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/jmgeventhorizonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jmgeventhorizon/Music featured on Event Horizonhttps://stellardrone.bandcamp.com/https://migueljohnson.bandcamp.com/https://leerosevere.bandcamp.com/https://aeriumambient.bandcamp.com/FOOTAGE:NASAESA/HubbleESO - M.KornmesserESO - L.CalcadaESO - Jose Francisco Salgado (josefrancisco.org)NAOJUniversity of WarwickGoddard Visualization StudioLangley Research CenterPixabay

Is it possible to build a Dyson Sphere?How do we search for Dyson Swarms in the universe?Jason Wright is a professor of Astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State. His more recent paper titled, Dyson Spheres, looks at the overall history of the idea of building a megastructure to best use a star's energy. Professor Wright joins John Michael Godier on Event Horizon to discuss the subject in depth, looking at what can be done with the energy to how and have we searched for signs of these alien megastructures built by alien civilizations. One close call was Tabby's star or KIC8462 and what was causing the stars light to dim during transits.Link:AstroWright Blog: https://sites.psu.edu/astrowright/Jason Wright twitter: https://twitter.com/Astro_WrightDyson Spheres: https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.16734Want to support the channel?Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EventHorizonShowFollow us at other places!Website: https://www.eventhorizonshow.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/jmgeventhorizonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jmgeventhorizon/Music featured on Event Horizonhttps://stellardrone.bandcamp.com/https://migueljohnson.bandcamp.com/https://leerosevere.bandcamp.com/https://aeriumambient.bandcamp.com/FOOTAGE:NASAESA/HubbleESO - M.KornmesserESO - L.CalcadaESO - Jose Francisco Salgado (josefrancisco.org)NAOJUniversity of WarwickGoddard Visualization StudioLangley Research CenterPixabayThumbnail: https://www.flickr.com/photos/djandywdotcom/31437348556Dyson SphereDyson SwarmAlien civilization
