Podcasts about fermi's paradox

The massive attention being paid to UFOs in the form of the Pentagon/Naval videos has rekindled interest in the subject and by extension interest in Fermi's Paradox. I think people's interest in these subjects is entirely too trivial. Treating it as a curiosity rather than one of the most important indications of what the future has in store for humanity — either eventual doom or being terribly alone.

Yup, our brains hurt....Too many deep thoughts...Thanks, TIME TRAVEL PARADOXES!!  Light topics such as PREDESTINATION PARADOX v. CAUSALITY, in regards to TRAVELING THROUGH TIME.  We discuss the GRANDFATHER PARADOX, and share some "stories" of TIME TRAVEL, such as "THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT"...What is FERMI'S PARADOX and how it pertains to ALIEN LIFE visiting HUMAN LIFE...What would Michael tell his 16-year old self?  Patrick apologizes (sincerely??)...MICHIO KAKU AUDIO CLIPS, discussing QUANTUM CONSCIOUSNESS and the idea in order for something to EXIST, it must be OBSERVED...Who is the observer?  We stumble through the POLCHINSKI PARADOX. share some STAR WARS and THE MANDALORIAN love, all doused with our usual lame attempts at LEVITY...In all sincerity, we had a blast with this one.  Put on your thinking caps and strap in, we made it a bumpy road, ha! 

Fermi's Paradox brings up a troubling issue: if even a small fraction of stars have planets with intelligent life, much of it should be more advanced than us--so why have aliens never come by to say hello? Do civilizations all blow themselves up? Are we next?  Josh Jennings joins Heaton to suss out the paradox, and go over possible explanations of alien absence.

According to reasonable estimates of how many stars have planets, how many planets may be suitable for the evolution of organisms, and so on, our Milky Way Galaxy should be brimming over with life.

Probability would lead us to believe that extraterrestrial life does exist, so why have we not found any?

D, Mateo, JT review A Scanner Darkly, has Idris Elba done any good movies, How do TV's Work, and ponder Fermi's Paradox...TBC

Fine Music Radio — Where is everybody? Kechil runs through Fermi's Paradox, a list of a dozen or so reasons why we haven't heard from the aliens yet. Since it's Friday 13th let's add another one: they haven't visited Earth yet because they just can't be bothered.

Scott Alexander of SlateStarCodex recently declared that "nobody ever really believed [that Fermi's Paradox] was a problem. I not only believed it was a problem I still believe it's a problem, and I think everyone else should as well. If you're one of those who don't think it is, then this episode is designed to change your mind.

Messy meatball buns and conversation about Fermi's Paradox - where are all the aliens! Are intelligent life forms just waiting for humans to globally unite before they reveal themselves to us?

Milan M. Ćirković's book The Great Silence is a fantastic exploration of the philosophy and importance of Fermi's Paradox. I spend the first half of this episode doing a review of the book and the second half discussing how my own explanation of the paradox fits in to Ćirković's framework.

Talking about where the idea came from and what it means. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/son-of-man/support

Every time we develop a new technology, we take a risk. Some technologies are dangerous and it may be that sometime in the future we will develop a technology which will mean the end of humanity. In a recent paper Bostrom makes this point by using the analogy of drawing balls from an urn. Progress means drawing balls from the urn, and as a result means running this risk.  This is unfortunate because for many people also think growth and progress are the best ways for creating the world we want. Among them, Tyler Cowen who recently published the book Stubborn Attachments. In this episode I compare and contrast these two views. Perhaps we can have growth and avoid bad technology, but as far as we can tell, no one ever has...

Fermi's Paradox doesn't account for timing. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/couchonfirepodcast/support

I introduce the idea of "The Mistake of Dramatic Timing" which affects most of the thinking about Fermi's Paradox. I review a particularly egregious example of it in the Bobiverse series. I then go on to discuss my issues with a recent paper which claimed to "Dissolve Fermi's Paradox".

Fine Music Radio — Where are all the aliens? Are they amongst us? Kechil explains Fermi's Paradox, listing all logical possibilities. Are we the dangerous ones who will obliterate life on other planets?

Episode 7 of the Joe and Mike vs. the Future podcast. In this podcast, we discuss Fermi's paradox, and a number of explanations for why we haven't observed any extraterrestrial life.  If anyone wants to contact us with feedback, comments, or to let us know any errors we may have made, please send us an email at joeandmikepodcast@gmail.com.

I spend this episode commenting on Scott Alexander’s epic Meditations on Moloch post. In particular I look at the way his conception of Moloch interacts with religion and Fermi’s paradox.

I revisit Fermi's Paradox and my explanation for it, in light of the second edition of Stephen Webb's "If the Universe Is Teeming with Aliens...Where Is Everybody? Seventy-Five Solutions to the Fermi Paradox and the Problem of Extraterrestrial Life". I find several places, where in my opinion Webb shows a lack of imagination. Then as a Christmas gift to myself I explain how too great of a focus on social justice may be keeping us from getting off of our own planet.

There are only two paths to potential salvation: Religion and Science. Most people have placed their bets on science, but they may be overlooking some of the downsides attendant with relying on science, primarily the fact that science doesn't care about things like morality or kindness. And if you really have decided that we're going to be saved through science then you have to grapple with these downsides. Featuring another appearance by Fermi's Paradox...

If it’s probable intelligent alien life exists, where’s the evidence? In our season two teaser – Episode 2.0 – we discuss Fermi’s paradox. This episode also introduces the topic of our second season: humanity building its first new world on Mars.

Jared talks to Lindsay about international borders, Hawaii, the magic of Otters, racist chatbots, The Backstreet Boys, sailing, women, designer babies, Fermi's Paradox, and Disney Princesses.

Continuing the discussion of Fermi's Paradox I turn to an examination of Liu Cixin's Three Body Trilogy and his Dark Forest explanation of Fermi's Paradox, which assumes that any aliens will shoot you on sight if they become aware of your existence. In other words most aliens are malevolent. I argue that most likely the exact opposite is the case. That it is in fact hard to imagine how you could end up with an extraterrestrial civilization that isn't extremely benevolent.

Returning to a discussion of Fermi's Paradox. I use (and abuse) the movie Interstellar to examine some explanations for the paradox. In particular how culture can act to give people an incorrect view of how probable or improbable certain things are. 

An examination of the explanations offered for Fermi's Paradox offered by Stephen Web in his book If the Universe Is Teeming with Aliens ... WHERE IS EVERYBODY?: Fifty Solutions to the Fermi Paradox and the Problem of Extraterrestrial Life. In particular a look of the implications of his favored explanation that we are alone. In translating the original blog post to a podcast it became apparent that some things travel better than others. This is one of those times. You've been warned. Or maybe you haven't I don't think anyone actually reads these descriptions.

In 1950 Enrico Fermi asked "Where are they?" Referring to extraterrestrials. In this episode I examine how from a religious and more specifically a Mormon perspective the best answer is that they are here, we call them God and they communicate with us through prayer.

This week we discuss the new Star Wars movie, Fermi's Paradox, and the importance of workplace safety.

A formula and a feeling.

New proof of a nuclear catastrophe on Mars! In an epic story of discovery, strong evidence is presented for a dead civilization on Mars aneerd the shocking reason for its demise: an ancient planetary-scale nuclear massacre leaving isotopic traces of vast explosions that endure to our present age. The story told by a wide range of Mars data is now clear. Mars was once Earth-like in climate, with an ocean and rivers, and for a long period became home to both plant and animal life, including a humanoid civilization. Then, for unfathomable reasons, a massive thermo-nuclear explosion ravaged the centers of the Martian civilization and destroyed the biosphere of the planet. But the story does not end there. This tragedy may explain Fermi's Paradox, the fact that the cosmos, seemingly so fertile and with so many planets suitable for life, is as silent as a graveyard. We must immediately send astronauts to Mars to maximize our knowledge of what happened there, and learn how to avoid Mars' fate. Includes an 8-page color section.John E. Brandenburg Ph.D. is the Senior Propulsion Scientist at Orbital Technologies Corporation in Madison Wisconsin, and is well known writer and researcher into Mars and whether there is life there-or was in the past! Aside from this outlandish theory, Dr John Brandenburg has led a rather more normal, and prestigious, career. He has a PhD in Theoretical Plasma Physics from the University of California at Davis. Currently he works as a plasma physicist at Orbital Technologies in Madison Wisconsin. He has worked on a variety of propulsion technologies and previously was an independent consultant on Space Missile Defense and Directed Energy Weapons. Dr Brandenburg has authored a number of books with his latest, Death on Mars: The Discovery of a Planetary Nuclear Massacre, to be published in February 2015.  

Why aren't we already talking to aliens?

In this week's episode: Numbers 28-31.  We ratchet up the rhetoric as we consider the first salvo in the campaign to claim the land God promised to Patriarchs.  And it’s not pretty. UPDATE:  Click here for a lengthy yet breezy explanation of Fermi's Paradox - with diagrams!
