Scientists estimate at least 100 BILLION intelligent civilizations have evolved prior to us.
>even if we estimate only 1 single intelligent civilization per galaxy
>that would still amount to a few billions of intelligent civilization

Two scientists from the University of Rochester and the University of Washington have developed an “archaeological form” to the famous Drake equation, which will allow us to determine how many technological civilizations have formed in the history of the universe. And it seems there may be a number of them.

>>73270031
Yeah, as long as you can prove that it exists. So far we couldn't find any traces of life on other planets. You would think that if it was true, then the seeds of life would fall not just on Earth, but on neighboring planets too.
>>73270092
The answer to why we are not able to see or hear anything from other civiilizations in the universe is: Time
We are trapped in huge time differences. A million years is nothing in terms of the universe, and yet its enough for a civilization to be born and die again, repeat and rinse, we could be right now in a phase where there is nothing around because everything has died out OR is currently evolving from primitive species

Think of darwinism and the progression of human civilization as it has occurred. It has been a struggle for dominance since the beginning of history. With the advent of increasing technology there is now the real possibility of human extinction through warfare. And we have only hit this level of technology in a brief time period.
So if other extraterrestrial civilizations have occurred they probably ended up the same way we will. By destroying ourselves.

I say that civilizations are already in contact with us and have been since the Cold War. Don't stop reading my post, listen. If an intelligent civilization were searching for intelligent civilizations to contact, what would they look for first? They would develop instruments to detect nuclear explosions so that they could intervene before the other civilization destroyed itself. THey would look for everything else as well but that would be their priority.
So we have a vast, vast explosion of UFO sights by army, air force, and private pilots and officers during the Cold War. Were they all lying? We have former high ranking officials from numerous nations, astronauts, generals, saying alien exist. It isn't cooky, its reasonable.
>>73270167
>So far we couldn't find any traces of life on other planets
We have found several phenomena that defy explanation and could be signs of mega-engineering.
Hyper-velocity stars traveling out of galaxy, swarms of black holes with jets oriented in same direction...We also found signs of what could be Dyson Spheres.
http://home.fnal.gov/~carrigan/infrared_astronomy/Other_searches.htm
More recently several other searches have been conducted for partial Dyson Spheres. Globus, Backman, and Witteborn have searched by looking for a temperature/luminosity anomaly due to the fact that the luminosity of a star surrounded by a partial Dyson sphere would be lowered compared to a naked star of the same temperature. Conroy and Werthimer have searched by constraining the Jugaku infrared excess technique to older stars using a list of 1000 nearby older stars compiled by Wright and Marcy. Using older stars eliminates thick dust clouds around young stars. They also correlate with the rich K band near-infrared ground based data from 2MASS. They have found 33 candidates in the 12 μm IRAS band with 3 σ excesses from the mean.

Basically this, we don't know what the evolution of civilization looks like past the singularity, and whether it achieves equilibrium.
Maybe all civilizations have a brief period like we are now and then they get absorbed into their own AIs and disappear, and the civilization sized AI construct goes and shifts into a different level of reality and that is where all the "aliens" are. Apex predators the size of civilizations who consume those that birthed them, and they are what survives and forms a "galactic civilization"
They keep themselves hidden with their shadows appearing as dark matter, not revealing themselves to us because they are waiting for us to give birth to their future "brother" who incidentally will consume us to make its final metamorphosis and the others don't want us to find out

You can't really calculate anything like that until you figure out how life started on Earth or find it on another planet.
There is only 1 sentient lifeform on Earth and every creature shares a common ancestor.
Why aren't there more sentient beings on earth and why didn't life start independently several times instead of just the single common ancestor?

>“archaeological form” to the famous Drake equation
That equation does not work.
It fails to take into account ideas beyond human perception.
What if all species died out due to their inability to cope with their change?
You know, like how humanity is struggling with technological change.
First we must conquer technology and improve ourselves as humans.
Then when "gerontocracy" becomes a problem (due to increased age expectations) we must figure out a way to stop the elders from destroying the rest of humanity.
In indigenous cultures here, the elders are the ones with best know-how of surviving and control their tribes.
At the same time, they learnt to recognise the limits that experience brings and endorse youthful revolution.
Then white people came and they clearly had better means than indigenous people (which indigenous people foolishly chose to ignore, rather than adapt to)
>>73272407
Very advanced species would make contact through psychic means, if those exist. There are studies which suggest they do. If we've made contact before physically (seems like we have), they were probably basically A.I. drone armies sent to all civilizations to prevent self-extinction that could've been sent out a hundred thousand years before their civilization reached the point they are now.

Were already evolving. Humans are growing taller due to more nutrition compounded over generations. Recently were going through puberty earlier due to chemical exposure. Also the mixing of populations is blending everyone into a tall early pubescent brown skinned mess.

We're already experiencing this, as our grandfathers looked up and dreamed of traveling to the stars while we all are looking down into our smartphones and dreaming of being more deeply connected to the Internet so that the memes could flow through us like our own blood
not with a bang but with a whimper
Given the limitations of civilisations only appearing sporadically over tens of millions of years, on the other hand why hasn't a civilisation achieved that level of tech and foresight to intergalactic travel and search for other concurrent intelligent life and found it thus overcoming the eventuality of catastrophic destruction of their home system?

>intelligent life
I firmly believe that life could very well be abundant in the universe. However, intelligent life might be more tricky. Just take a look at the evolution from a prokaryote cell to modern day humans, nearly 4 billion year show. Considering the age of the universe that is not a long time.
>>73272650
>Were already evolving
Yeah, but what if it hadn't happened that one moment it started? Would you bet, knowing what you know, that on Mars for example there'll be an intelligent civilization evolving in the next half of the age of the universe?
No, you wouldn't, because the odds are tiny, almost infinitely non-existant.
>>73272666
I would say they have. We just dont know what happens when you reach the singularity, what happens when you evolve higher into reality?
>>73269709
>100,000,000,000
I'm not surprised. Considering how old the universe is estimated to be, there's no way we could have been the first and likely won't be the last, unless some improbable universe-wide cataclysm hits within the next hundred thousand years or so.
Anyway, how many intelligent civilizations have rose up across the universe isn't important. What's important is how many of those have self-destructed due to their own hubris, or other internal factors. A shame we'll never know, but judging by our own problems down here on Earth, I'd say every civilization runs into these problems at least once or twice in their species' existence.
>>73272746
Considering the number of planets though, the number does move up.
The likelihood that they're nearby, that's probably the problem.

Yes man. I concur, the cold war also operated as a good cover to blame/credit the other side with having superior tech, round a time of UFO sighting booms.
It only takes one sighting to be real.
However standard epistemological methods can't really be applied to something with such high straneness. Hence why science just wont go there, because the current models we believe in physics would crumble in the face of new evidence.

It's literally impossible to accurately estimate this.
Whatever scientists did this are meme scientists at best. It's just as reasonable to assume that we are the first intelligent species ever as it is to assume there were 1 billion.
You can't conduct an experiment with a sample size of one.
>''scientists''
They're not scientists. They're retards.
We don't know how many civilizations there are in the universe. We don't know.
It's anywhere from 1 to infinite.
Even if we find 10 civilizations in our own galaxy it doesn't mean that there are 10 civilizations in each galaxy. It could still be that there are only 10 planets in the entire universe that have life.
This type of ''science'' is just retarded.

>Think for yourselves.

>>73269742
Drake equation has a lot of unknown values so anyone formulating another equation based of the DE for calculate something would have some massive margins of possible errors.
There could be 100 billion prior to us. Or there could be 100 quadrillion.
What we know is a basic timeline of when the big bang occurred and how long it took to cool down to a temperature in which planet formation is possible.
We have a basic timeline of how long dollars systems take to form, when the first stars where created, when the first planets were formed, when the correct amount of the basic elements for life were abundant.
We also have a very subjective timeline for the length of time needed for life to spring into existence given the right (subjective) conditions
Finally we have a very subjective understanding of how long the evolution process may take for life to evolve into high intellegent life.
Still a bunch of unknown values.
How often do these perfect conditions arise?
Can non carbon based life forms exist?
Can evolution occur in different circumstances?
How many planets exist in our subjective understanding of f the habitable zone?
Does some unforseen filter exist that essentially kills off evolution?
Too many unknowns.
We could be the only ones, or 1 of many.

this question is far more important. 'Perfect conditions' are likely to vary. I mean, here on Earth, we have things that can survive, and even thrive, in environments Humans couldn't dream. 'Perfect conditions' is a perfect demonstration of the kind of hubris Humans have that they think everything else in the universe has to play by the exact rules they grew by, and it's likely why we'll never live long enough as a species to find out if we're alone or not in the universe.

There are tons of reasons why that is. I'm sure there are many times that amount of reasons that we cannot comprehend. The biggest reason that I can think of is:
They are scared that we would destroy their civilization. We are seen as radical, violent zealots who are still stupid enough to have religious wars (or maybe even religion at all) yet we have harnessed the power of the atom. Refer to the video of Africns giving a monkey an AK

>Our goal is to reach post-scarce economy, by evolving into a real type 1 civilization. Singularity will then just be a mile stone away.
Post-scarcity doesn't jive with capitalism so its definitely not "our" goal. Technologically it means we reach a point where AI develops past the point we can control or even understand it. And since google just made a bot that can beat the worlds top chinese checkers player, we are already getting to that point.

Hey satan.
But yeah they probably are monitoring us already, and covering our tracks.
Why?
Because they must realise we're of use to them.
At the same time, we must realise they may be of use to us (but have not developed to a point where we are ready to make clear contact - though subversive contact may already exist without us realising)
>>73272794
>We just dont know what happens when you reach the singularity
I believe singularity already exists. We're already globalised to an extent.
At the same time, we divide the singularity in order to compete and learn from one another.
Aliens and ourselves are part of another singularity. We may already be learning from them, they may already be learning from us (like how we observe mammal behaviour)

That's another good point. I mean if you think about it, video games are the most primitive forms of a simulation. Once AI picks up and consciousness can be simulated (if it is even possible) we'll be able to create our own universes as our computing power reaches entropy. We'll be a self-fulfilling prophesy.

>>73273127
>I would question the idea that technological advancement is unlimited.
I would question the idea that our technology is advanced on an absolute scale.
We can't even maintain the nanomachinery that nature have built and put into our cells, and our idea of investigating particles is to bang then together really fast and try to see what shards come out. We use elements like lego bricks and don't really know what keeps them together in different configurations.
We're no where close to technological maturity. We're like a 8 year old that finds the tools around him and start to realize that he can use them to create. Whatever he creates will be the best thing he have ever done so far but he's nowhere near a level of competence and mastery that's possible.

Anyone with a scientific background has to concede that obviously, if it happened on earth, given the amount of stars out there it HAD to happen somewhere else and odds are it happened many many times.
But you know what this proves? That FTL is impossible. That there will be no galactic civilizations. That humanity will live and die within the confines of the solar system and mainly on earth.

>literally breaking the universe
The only time the universe gets retarded is when we're talking about immense gravity, i.e., singularities. Going faster than light only brings up very particular issues, like the immense passing of time in the rest of the universe that occurs in comparison to what you perceive, which would make FTL travel inconvenient and unconventional. Having even sub-light travel would be useful to explore and inhabit the solar system, while sending long-term expeditions to other, closer systems.
If you're going to do any kind of real long-distance space travel, figuring out wormholes would be the best path, and is likely why we don't see ayylmaos zipping around the universe. They go from point A to point B instantly.

Some life outthere may have let AI take over. This AI might even be alright. They might discover a need for biological forms that benefits them and the life form.
On the other hand, other life observing may have stopped this in order to save their necks when the AI wanted to eliminate or enslave other life forms.
Remember, they may have far greater intelligence than we know. We might not be able to fathom the ideas they have at this point in time.

How I see it there's 2 likely possibilities. Either humans are some of the first intelligent species of this level, and we can be the first to create interstellar colonies. The other option is there has been unlimited of species but they all perish eventually, meaning singularity can't be reached and interstellar spreading of a species is impossible.
The thing is once you can do it, it's only a matter of a few million years and you can inhabit millions of exoplanets.

You wouldn't see US from afar. Our light emissions don't go forever and will be unrecognizable after a certain distance, there's an equation for signal degradation.
The reasonable explanation is that nothing simply gets past beyond the local planetary/solar system level. No way of signal amplification is possible. No FTL. Civilizations wither and die within their own systems.
But they have to be out there. The minute you start believing earth is unique you're in religion territory and horribly unscientific. Everything we see in the universe repeats somewhere mostly due to the yuge size of the whole thing.

What evidence do you expect? Aylmaos in flying saucers selling glass beads?
With contemporary technology we couldn't even detect our own radio and TV broadcasts from the nearest star(detection range: 0.3 LY, nearest star 4+ LY).
Unless some aliens had decided to build a radio beacon so bright that they'd fry every antenna in their own solar system tuned to that frequency we'd see absolutely nothing even if we trained every fucking telescope we had at their bustling solar system.
Distances are very very very huge so pretty much the only man-made signal we could detect at any decent distance is 10+ megaton nuclear explosions, but we aren't really looking at them and they are quite likely to be rare and could be mistaken for other energetic events like impacts solar flares or whatever.
tl;dr it's like going to the East coast, sticking a plastic funnel in your ear, and determining that France have gone extinct because you don't hear baguette from their general direction.
It doesn't matter because the distances are too great to traverse
It will always be as if we are alone, even though we aren't.

Your ideas aren't different.
They're just stupid.
Just like rebranding "creationism" as "intelligent design" doesn't make it science.

Nope.
They might like exploring within reason.
They might be just like us wanting to say hello to us, just because they can.
They know there would be problems. But the experience may be incredible.

there is no difference mechanics wise between "biological" and "technological"
The brain is a machine just as much as a computer is but the brain is sophisticated as fuck, has a power source we can only dream of
Its quite possible that once we crack genetics your standard technological processes will take a back seat.
I'm an engineer and if you look at the human body (or any organism really) from that perspective its simply incredible. Our best machines are rude brute force contraptions compared to whats already out there. The brain especially. We know nothing about it and its amazing.

What about when those minds are linked.
That's essential a giant "brain" of brains.

What are you trying to say? I said it's my opinion and I talked about likelyhood, not absolutes. And I stated my reasoning in my post.
If interstellar colonization is possible, then humans are the first to do it, because nobody else seems to have. If it's not possible then there will never be contact with outsiders.
What I mean by colony is an AI spacecraft colonizing a planet and creating humans from embryos.

What's it going to take to get you to go away so real intelligent people like myself can discuss real intelligent topics? Do I have to bring myself down to your level?
Oi, mate, fek off, we're full.
Please leave, you fucking mong, you're taking up all the precious oxygen I need to function. Take a fucking hint: no-one wants you here in /pol/, and you certainly don't belong in a genuine scientific discourse, because you're not only completely incapable of discourse in general, you're also clearly incapable of opening your mind to new ideas, which makes you a shit tier scientist, and explains why you're so quick to admit that you have an average intelligence level.
At least you know you're a fucking moron. I'd tell you to start acting like it, but you've been acting like it for more than a full hour now, and providing nothing of value to this discourse beyond 'YOU DON'T AGREE WITH ME? YOU'RE CLEARLY WRONG!'.
So, no, fuck off, straya cunt. You and your shit-tier opinions never belonged here to begin with. Stay to your containment board, where no-one can tell how retarded you are.

What the hell are you on about? The comic clearly satires how rudimentary our technology could be relative to possible advanced civilizations. Just think about how recently we discovered radio waves and think about the possibility that another civilization develops the same technology in the same timeframe as us. The window of opportunity is so low that it's laughable. I mean beaming radio waves into space, really NASA?

>The brain is a machine just as much as a computer is but the brain is sophisticated as fuck, has a power source we can only dream of
Glucose fuel cells have existed for a while. The brain is very efficient for a computational device of its complexity and that's where we're far behind.
>We know nothing about it
I wish this meme would die as it implies that no one ever cracked a skull open and put a brain it under a microscope.
The first micrographs of the different types of neurons in the brain are over a hundred year old, pic related, it's not the first but it's from 1899(stamp is museum collection date, go look up Santiago Cajal).
We have a enormous body of data on the structure and function of the brain and neurons. We know the data tracts of the brain, we know it's hierarchial, we know it's divded into function region.
What we don't have is a perfectly working theory on how to wire up neurons to get human intelligence out of them. We do however know that neural network simulations can be wired up to provide intelligent behaviour so the idea of Connectionism do have data to support it.
Just because we cannot do brain scale simulations to investigate which wiring diagrams end up being human intelligence doesn't mean we know nothing about it. It's like saying that we know nothing about the effects of gravity on a 10000 tonne piece of rock because we have no crane capable of lifting it and therefor cannot actually know if it falls towards earth if dropped or would remain floating like a avatar island.
>>73275892
The process that powers living organisms, called the Krebs Cycle, uses our digestive system to burn literally fucking anything. It can go for three weeks and more without a recharge, all the while moving muscles, maintaining various electrochemical processes in the body and powering a computational machine that exceeds anything men have invented to date in everything except brute numbers crunching
Its not without faults and the brain is a somewhat of a sloppy job in terms of how much old shit back from the animal days is in there that we'd do better without.
But I still sometimes find myself thinking that its incredible that this thing came to be pretty much randomly - evolution makes perfect sense but its awe inspiring at the same time.

>I wish this meme would die as it implies that no one ever cracked a skull open and put a brain it under a microscope.
yeah and it means exactly fucking nothing
You dont know HOW the brain does its shit. Nobody knows. In terms of the bare mechanics its still a complete mystery.
Our understanding of the brain is akin to how much your grandmother understands how computers really work.

You dont know but the neuroscientists I work with everyday know a bit. Put down the pop science and pull up some journal articles and you'd be surprised.

If you want to understand how another inteligent civilization might look like, look at dolphins and killer whales.
The interaction would be the same, impossible for any kind of meaningful communication (no technological exchange, sorry pseudos).
For all we knew, dolphins must have some kind of civilization under the sea, they talk to each other, give each other names and are as inteligent as us. They just dont need and cant build things under the sea.
Borderline is civilization might come in various flavours and shapes and our mind can end up simply not being able to perceive it nor understand it. Also, we already have proof of this possibility under the sea.
Even ay lmaos would be dissapoiting in real life.
