(Yes, right now it’s just me making everything)
Editor’s Note: My edits were all made to keep the video on one, central topic by editing together relevant commentary from many parts of Hasan’s streams to create a storyline that is still followable by the viewer. I also edited in commentary of my own in places, in addition to relevant external information that improves the viewing experience. A lot of edits were made for comedy purposes, or to enhance the comedic timing of certain beats, but never to misrepresent Hasan’s point of view.

@1:48 Yes, there's no reason why evolution would work differently on another planet, but why is the assumption that the pinnacle of evolution would always be a bipedal, humanoid form? There's no reason to assume that other than our own bias towards ourselves.
So the great filter is capitalism?
at 12:00 wtf is he talking about lmao.
The whole 'universe expanding' section doesn't explain anything and is just confusing. The reason why we wouldn't be able to see other civilizations out in the cosmos is due to the sheer distance. When we take pictures of other galaxies we see them in the past due to light needing to travel.
Traveling at light speed would feel instantaneous. You would feel nothing until you slow back down, but it is physically impossible to accelerate to that speed. Matter cannot accelerate that way. The only means of traveling at such speeds would be by manipulating space, but then you wouldn't really be moving, space would be moving or warping around you.
Just remember that if you have s3x with an alien, you are also having s3x with all the aliens that it has had sex with and you don't know in which galaxies it has been.
In the case of The Thing you are literally having s3ex with all the aliens it has touched. So ask for an intergalactic condom of some sort.
And if you don't, Do no be complaining 9
monthshours later if you feel something is going to burst out of you.If we ever become an intergalactic species, it will be through a break through in understanding quantum entanglement. Spooky action at a distance, instant travel through folding space. Like we will have spaceships, but travel of real distance will be through "stargates" or folding space.
Check out, Liu Cixin, 'The Three Body Problem' ( 3 book fiction series ), book 2, 'The Dark Forest.' I think the theory originates in 1983 ( long b4 the books were written ), but it's a wonderful read about the dark forest. It's the funnest, if not the most terrifying, solution to the Fermi paradox.
Hasan having that gun out, and with it looking loaded … near the dog, made me so unbearably uncomfortable.
One of our biggest flaws as humans is truly understanding how fragile we really are
I like watching Hasan with science related stuff. He interrupts less.
All imma say, is if the universe may be infinite, something we don’t know..
I’d put a bet that somewhere in that infinite expanse, something is living.
Can we ever get results to settle the bet? Hell no… it’s the fucking universe.
I’m certain, with no proof, that there is other life in the universe. Cellular, multicellular, simple protozoa or a slug somewhere. Maybe it’s space fairing, idk. It’s the universe.
I’m our galaxy? Eh. I could still see simple life forms existing in heat vents somewhere. But it’ll be extremely hard to prove.
1:30 gonna make a comment on this because it sounds like a classic attempt at someone trying to sound smart- Convergent Evolution is reliant on similar evolutionary pressures, which we would have to make DRASTIC assumptions about since we have not discovered life in any other environment other than Earth's. The chatter at 3:10 is correct in their followup. Additionally, there is nothing suggesting that humans are the best lifeform for this planet. Hell, carcinisation shows us that for some reason crustaceans keep evolving into crabs, that is a form of convergent evolution. We don't see any creatures other than our immediate biological family members adapting to look like us. We simply don't have the level of information to assume aliens would look like us.
Hasan, the asteroid belt is beyond Mars, it's in the middle of
and Jupiter's orbit around the Sun
It was frustrating hearing Hasan confidently make statements about relativity and things he doesn't understand
No one ever assumes it may just be impossible to leave your solar system
holy he is so dumb
every take he said was wrong
22:37 That’s a great line, but that many humans should never have been able to exist in Arizona. Save the Colorado River and turn it back into a territory.
This is just Posadism, right?
They would travel from one point to another, not traveling a distance in a linear fashion. It's time travel not light speed travel.
Thru the astroid belt to get to mars? Umm…
I still find it so annoying that Hasan makes fun of Kurzgesagt for not being 100% doomer about climate change and other things.
22:49 as someone who lives in Phoenix I feel validated af.
It’s so hot here…
Why does the Alien being humanoid mattter if you want to fuck it. I bet the non humanoid ones fuck better. Also I fully being that if alien life forms showed up it wouldnt be a good thing. What use do they have for us if they can already travel through space. Best case scenario we are enslaved worse case they just want our bio mass and just cosume and strip mine everything from the planet.

More likely that Aliens look like crabs 🦀
no so see if u could reach actual light speed without the human body disintegrating, then the effect of time slowing is not just percieved, its physically happening. so u wouldnt actually age no. u would however age under acceleration and deceleration, so we need to shoot ourselves through a beam of light in some way to get that instant acceleration or something like that
it is possible that an advanced civilization did everything, eventually came to a conclusion that nothing means anything and just killed themselves because they were bored or something.
I'm just tryna pie and alien bro.
The moment in evolutionary history that mass extinctions occurred and the exact history of ice ages is what defined the way that terrestrial life looks like. Without mass extinctions and on a completely tropical world theres no reason the dominant species that eventually became intelligent wouldn’t have been dinosaurs or literally any of the species that came before us. Also the fact that we gained access to fossil fuels was pure luck. Most other intelligent life in the universe probably doesn’t look like humans.
The relativity of time does not imply that the time period experienced by individuals is an illusion. So, someone traveling at the speed of light would experience time differently compared to us, relatively slower, and yes, they would age more slowly than us. However, they would still age, and even at the speed of light, traveling would not be possible due to the vastness of the universe. So chatters, Hasan was right.
The convergance evolution is pretty spot on. When you think about it, they would need a head with a large brain cavity (which would end up probably looking similar considering most highly intelligent species on this planet have similar head shape) Hand like appendages to be able to grab and move things. Weather or not they're carbon based could be up for grabs, and whether or not the humanoid shape is peak design is also up for grabs, but it wouldn't be out of the question for they to have looked something like us at one point in their evolution.
The universe is so big and distances are so huge that even traveling at lightspeed is as fast as a snail traveling around the globe. Ultimately, we will never ever ever reach certain places of the universe or galaxy
as far as the asteroid belt goes, they are so far apart that youre more likely to NOT run into any of them. Also if your traveling in a car at 70 mph, youd still die if it took you 100,000 years. pretty simple concept. youre just traveling at the speed of light, it still takes time to get to where your going. If it take millions of years for light to get somewhere, you wont survive.
Why does Hasan get so mad when he's wrong… like you're talking about astrophysics dude, you're of course not going to know everything, you're a political science major with an undergraduate degree. As much as I love the guy, that shit drives me nuts sometimes.
People think evolution on this planet is over the way they talk about alien evolution.
The Great filter is about distance. The bar for 'galactic travel' is fundamentally about distance. If there was another species on Mars, we'd know it by now. We would just see them
Dead space?
the great filter is the realisation of the necessity of annihiliation
Who tf travels space in a straight line 🤷🏾♂️?
If the non terrestrials are light years away , what makes you think they would waste all that energy traveling in a straight line while their bodies languish? If the light speed alien tech exist then so does it’s signaling component. Aliens most definitely would be playing with portals for their communication and travel needs in lieu of spaceships wasting all that energy.
Man the whole video really went over Hassan and chats head
