it takes 30 billion years of sitting in a space travelling at the speed of light (impossible) to traverse 1 third of the universe. Don't you think you'd pass a planet that has human-like life forms at least once per billion years during that journey?

It's mathematically impossible that there isn't something out there. If we're the only ones that's pretty grim.

There is intelligent life out there.
But it will never cross paths with other intelligent life, it is so unlikely it's essentially impossible.

You don't know this. Life could be so rare that we are a statistical anomaly even with the size of the universe.

No. It’s just that all of you see it the wrong way. The universe is more akin to a hologram emanating from a single infinite source. Distance is only an illusion of frequency similar to how a video game artificially makes a map expansive even though it’s possible for a developer to travel instantly on the map with the right codes. Space travel is done all the time by advanced races using these principles. Their ships essentially change the frequency of themselves to match the frequency of the intended location and you are transported there nearly instantly. It’s much harder to do in reality, but that’s the gist of how space travel really works and traveling 100 light years in an hour or so happens all the time. The math and science they give the goyim is intended to keep them mentally constrained to thinking Earth and their one single life is all they’ll ever be even though you are an infinite being that has reincarnated an infinite number of times. Chances are high my words will not resonate with 99.8% of viewers but that’s okay, that’s just where your souls evolution is at.

Naw. If it happened once it can happen again. And if the universe is infinite, then there is a non zero chance extended out to infinity.

So it could be 1 quadrillion to 1 and every quadrillion stars there will be at least one Earth sized planet with liquid water, carbon and all the other shit we have, just maybe a slightly larger moon, or 2 smaller ones. My point is that even if we are the only one we won't be for long.

Not really, the more we learn about life the more inevitable it seems. It's probably present almost everywhere in the form of microbes at least. Complex or intelligent life is another story of course

According to modern theory you could never even reach the next galaxy because even if you traveled at the speed of light cosmic expansion, which is accelerating, would prevent you from ever reaching anything outside our local Galaxy cluster.
>>
>>532415052
I mean if the universe is truly infinite some really strange things would happen, if you could traverse it in a time bubble. There's only so many arrangements of atoms until things start repeating... infinitely.

>>532415052
There are only 10^80 total baryons in the universe. If they were all transmuted into nothing except the amino acids required for the simplest polymerase enzymes and the shortest polymerase-encoding strands required for self-replication maybe we'd get another abiogenesis event with earth chemistry, which would maybe lead to human-like life forms, given 100 billion years. So zero chance.

If you mean intelligent life in general, well maybe there are simpler chemical forms we simply haven't thought of and haven't seen signals from yet.

Not how it works from your point of view on the ship. You can go from here to that point at 99.9999999% the speed of light accelerating at 1.5G and you'll experience that trip as barely a few months. Time distortion via high velocity is funny like that.

Our neighboring planet had water on it at one time, and very very possibly a form of microscopic life. A moon of Saturn is also a great candidate for potential life, as it has water and tons of underwater volcano shit. So that's two decent enough chances right beside us.

400 billion more stars to check out in the milky way galaxy, and then another 2 trillion galaxies with possibly another 400 billion stars apiece to check out if we got time. And yes, there are actually 2 trillion of the fuckers.

The universe is too large and it's been around too long. If this planet is all there is to life in the universe, then that speaks more to us not fully understanding what the universe is and our place in it than it simply being rare.

That being said, the odds of us finding life that can be detected at the same time we've been alive and able to measure these things, which is less than a century, over the course of almost 14 billion years, and in the same neighborhood where we could detect them in the expanse of the universe, it'd be more rare to find them than to not. This is of course assuming we could detect them up to this point, but that too is a presumption as we do not necessarily have the instruments to spot them.

If there is life in the universe besides those found on earth right now, then there's a decent chance we may never find them before we die out as a species, but that wouldn't mean they don't exist.

we are actually in a very unique spot. its interesting to think about for a few reasons. we are in a very dead part of the universe. The universe is made up of interconnected strings of galaxies and starts, with incomprehensible voids in random places where almost nothing exists. we just so happen to be in the middle of one of those voids in some sort of rogue galaxy that split off to do its own thing.

1g constant acceleration (even taking into account needed to decelerate halfway through the trip) is good enough to reach any star within 100 ly in less than 10 years (as perceived by the crew). This number is asymptotic and the diameter of the milky way could be traversed in about 20 years crew time. The actual limit to star travel is delta v (e.g. the amount of fuel you need to carry around). You could get around this by building a beeg dyson array powered laser near the sun and equipping your ships with equally beeg solar sails avatar style. Only avatar is still unrealistic as you'd need too much antimatter for the deceleration part of the trip to be viable. Instead you could just detach and origami part of your sail to be a retroreflector and continue using the dyson array fed laser. Right now there is no such material that can reflect a high enough percent of electromagnetic energy without burning up but there's a class of meta material called photonic crystals which might be able to if improved upon.

> The Dark Forest theory is a solution to the Fermi Paradox proposing that the universe is teeming with life, but intelligent civilizations remain silent to avoid annihilation. Based on game theory, it posits that any civilization revealing its location risks being destroyed by others out of fear and the need for preemptive, existential survival.

> The Analogy: The universe is a "dark forest" where every civilization is an armed hunter stalking through the trees, staying quiet to avoid notice.

From your own perspective you can just keep accelerating as normal and you'll arrive to whatever destination you aim for more quickly similar to what you'd expect without relativity.
It's from the perspective of outsiders that you won't move much faster but it would look like your clock is going slower and slower to those outside of your frame of reference.

I always get a kick out of the anons that say life is impossible anywhere else because Earth has the most perfect and precise conditions. We got germs that live in boiling acid and eat sulfur. There's also tardigrades which are practically immune to death. Honorable mention to the mushrooms that eat radiation. Life almost certainly exists elsewhere in the universe.

>>532422204
It's not dopplee because no matter from which direction you look the one traveling near the speed of light would seem to move in slow motion.
The actual time it took for him to arrive from any outside perspective would be about the same as it'd take for light to travel that same distance. It's only from the perspective of the one traveling near the speed of light that the travel time would be significantly lower than it is for outside observers.
>>
>>532422084
>just keep accelerating as normal and you'll arrive to whatever destination you aim for
This is incorrect in modern physics because cosmic expansion over large distances expands faster than the speed of light.

I said to travel 30 billion light years, not to travel to a galaxy you aimed at that was 30 billion light years away 30 billion years before you began your journey.
Also cosmic expansion is not faster than light the way you seek to think. It's very low per cubic meter, for it to be significant you have to measure in many, many light years.

It could be. The problem is that people keep trying to define a probability for it, but there would have to be a finite set of outcomes. P= Number of desirable outcomes/Total number of outcomes. There are some who think that the universe may be infinite, meaning that the probability of finding anything you're looking for approaches 0, but that assumes there's not a near-infinite number of configurations for us to encounter life in the first place. Are there ways for it to manifest that we haven't discovered yet? Are there complex organisms that don't need our fancy carbon at all? Are they going to try to actively avoid us, or are they going to head straight for the first beacon they see?
There's just no finite set for numerator or denominator.
