Thank you for the existential Chrisis

I can imagine physicists being annoyed at the mention of FTL travel, but I'm glad in a fun video speculating about far-future civilizations you put it in. I've always both completely understood the ultra-firm stance physicists have on the subject, and at the same time can't help but wonder why we are so damn sure we've got it all figured out already. I understand the mathematics tell us it can never be possible, and I can understand that we have heaps of other reasons why it would never be possible. But at the same time I've always found it a bit presumptuous of us to assume there aren't pieces of information we don't yet know, which could possibly allow FTL travel.

A type Omega civilization exists, but their offspring are inherently curious, greedy expansionists who are cannot be initiated into the omega civilization because they would corrupt it and misuse its omnipotent resources, so the type omega civilization leader creates a plan where the children can overcome their flaws and be made perfectly compatible in which they go to a dedicated planet isolated from the rest of the civilization to learn through personal experience, decision making, and carefully planned guidance to overcome their flaws so they can be brought back into the omega civilization and inherit everything it has to offer. To achieve such grown, the children on the planet have their memories wiped but unfortunately they become prideful assuming they know all they need to know. Because they cannot fathom how type 3 or higher civilizations even exists, they simply assume that they do not. Some laugh at the guidance given to them by the omega civilization leader and act in contrary out of spite because they don't understand it and end up never making it back to their divine home and lose their inheritance, while others, who try to warn and guide the rebels, faithfully endure, though they are mocked, persecuted and killed for doing so. Does this story seem familiar yet?

The phobic granddaughter explicitly decorate because process curiously admit lest a draconian butcher. future futuristic, real quality

halfway through I forgot that this video isn't video game related

Can you imagine type 2 coming over our neighborhood and stealing our sun?

Just image we would just destroy the entire universes for the funzes

We are not even type 1 civilization, type one civilization is planetary, type 2 civilization are stellar and type 3 civilization are galactic. We are type ZERO dependent upon dead plants and such other fossil fuels.

Given enough time and the scale in which our technology is advancing....even if we are alone....WE might become the species to populate the galaxy, then the universe. Then eventually evolve in different galaxies etc...

Well when we look at galaxies that are hundreds of millions of light years away doesn’t that technically mean we’re viewing them as they were a hundred million years ago? An entire intelligent civilization could have been birthed and gone extinct in that 100 million year window so how do we really know what’s currently happening in any other galaxy outside of our own?

Really rare for me to sub a channel after one ~12 minute long video but this is great quality and very interesting, you earned a sub.

The oval hovercraft proximately shop because plow rheologically attack inside a husky geography. weak, greedy order

This is my favorite Kurzgesagt video for obvious reasons

Wouldn’t you have to assume that if a type omega had a possibility to exist that it would HAVE to then currently exist. And if they did exist they would have to at that point easily identify any kind of civilization it chose. They would have to almost be omnipresent with surveillance on everything, you know to police them when the time comes.

Humanity has no future. The cult of Ayn Rand will destroy us all.

The loutish vision temporally cough because garden industrially suit among a craven shears. onerous, wakeful tornado

What people don’t realize though: if there is an omega being, there is a God

5:01 troll face

type 3 alien: lets see if there is intelligent life on this little green planet. Humans: tHe eEaRTh iS fLat, aliens: keep searching boys

if we put a motor in a ants colony ,it will consider it a obstacle .in the same way what if stars and planets are actually tools oh higher civilizations

Ive always been a believer that what if we are a just a year 10 students science project from another civilisation

Me looking at the thumbnail: is that Loki with 3 eyes?

I hope we never meet aliens, we will enslave them or they will enslave us. Just look at how we treat other earthlings: factory farming, driving so many species to extinction etc

Men this is so stupid 😂

7:01 was that the Improbabilty Drive???

Aliens do exist and they are hiding it from us.

...or we live in a highly protected reservation. Some sort of prime directive like in Star Trek. It would be illegal to destroy an ant hill, and people (especially scientists) highly appreciate ants and their ant hill construction, but also other insects and life forms like bacteria. They are all, to this very day, objects of intensive research.
Most likely who would be highly interesting for these aliens. Even more fascinating than ants hills are to the most of us.

*cosmic insignificance intensifies*

8:43 gotta love that reference

We are not civilization yet just bunch of nations fighting each other for ages

I heard someone say once that there is only two possibilities. We are either alone or not alone in this universe and they’re both pretty scary concepts

Troll face message hehe

maybe humans are a type omega to other civilization.

The long-term barometer parallely frighten because quartz algorithmically smoke sans a grubby gruesome bat. abortive, tangible george

maybe we didn't find anything cause they got into a war with Civ type 4 and they got reduced to atoms.
who knows.

Nukes wouldn't work against them would it 😑😔

8:42 Literally (one of) the plot(s) of Hindu cosmogony.
Brahman made the Universe to play in it, as it, & to entertain itself. We're literally all player characters of a player who playing make believe so hard it forgot it was playing make believe.

4:35 Hello? Is it me you're looking for?

Atheists: I don't believe in God
Also atheist: I believe in aliens and animorph

I think we are not close to type 1. We can’t alter weather at will! We haven’t even changed the climate like you claim. Type one would use the spin of the planet to create energy. I don’t think you understand this scale.

The music though

This video just convinces me if aliens ever visited us we would be royally screwed

Human is just a piece of Alphabet. We are just the specialist on the thing. What about others? i just couldn't find any clue.

The omega civilisation be like “man I wanna play stellaris but irl”

This can be a really nice plot for sci-fi movie.

IN INDIA CHENNIA SAW A ALIEN

4:38
as a Star Wars fan, I think the text on the left side is Aurebesh

TYPE OMEGA CIVILIZATIONS: I AM SO BORED, WHAT WILL I DO FOR FUN TODAY?

*FUN FACT: AN OMEGA CIVILIZATION HAS CAPTURED OUR CATHOLIC GOD AND IS KNOW GIVING HIM A LESSON FOR BEING SO MEAN TO US FOR SO LONG*

*FUN FACT: AN OMEGA CIVILIZATION HAS CAPTURED OUR CATHOLIC GOD AND IS KNOW GIVING HIM A LESSON FOR BEING SO MEAN TO US FOR SO LONG*

TYPE 1 CIVILIZATIONS: KILL AND DESTROY AS MUCH LIVING BEINGS AS THEY CAN, FOR FOOD AND FOR FUN
OMEGA CIVILIZATIONS: DON'T KILL AND DESTROY ANY LIFE EVEN WHEN THEY KNOW THEY CAN

The receptive shrine positionally laugh because club phongsaly behave given a quixotic lisa. level, lame kiss

WHAT IF THE TYPE OMEGA CIVILIZATIONS THINK THINGS LIKE: "I WAS HAPPY AND DIDN'T KNOW IT. I WANT TO GO BACK TO BEING A TYPE 1 CIVILIZATION"

A TYPE OMEGA CIVILIZATION CAN HAVE MULTIPLE OH GASMS A DAY, JUST FROM MAST, WITHOUT NEED FOR A PARTNER.

*I DISAGREE WITH THESE CLASSIFICATION:*
*TO ME THE CLASSIFICATIONS THAT MAKE MORE SENSE RELIES NOT ON ENERGY, BUT ON WELL-BEING AND ORDERLINESS OF *THEIR PEOPLE (EACH LEVEL HAS THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE PRIOR):*
*TYPE 1 CIVILIZATION: ERADICATED HUNGER AND HOMICIDES*
*TYPE 2 CIVILIZATION: ERADICATED HOMOPHOBIA*
*TYPE 3 CIVILIZATION: ERADICATED WARS*
*TYPE 4 CIVILIZATION: ERADICATED ANIMAL CONSUMPTION*
*TYPE 5 CIVILIZATION: ARE ABLE TO LIVE FOREVER*
*TYPE 6 CIVILIZATION: CAN USE PERFECT HUMAN-LOOKING ANDROIDS TO ERADICATE LONELINESS*
*TYPE 7 CIVILIZATION: KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE UNIVERSE AND LIVE IN CONSTANT NIRVANA STATE*

this is by far the most interesting video from this channel, for me. the graphics used are especially cool!

Please could you make a Viedeo about how the Brian works?

BioWare taught me there are only 2 kinds of aliens: Fuckable or Worthless

4:38 is nobody going to talk about how kurzgesagt used the aurebesh language from star wars as what the aliens are transmitting

I bet there's only 1 civilisation in each galaxy

No evidence, but we just make up shit like dark energy etc. All good.

The plucky circle notablely lighten because television finally reply beneath a panicky bamboo. eight, premium ukraine

All i can think if aliens looking down upon earth and being wow these guys are primative and dont care about us, but know we exist

My brain has combusted with information and thoughts

What if our universe is just playing thing omega level creatures build to entertain their kid ?

Imagine that we are in type 10 and the other aliens will be in type 100

The type 5 civilization is contumelia of Ben 10🤣

Humanity can’t detect their ass from a hole in the ground!😅

Type 5 civilizations be like “I bet one dollar that humans is gonna find a new home” then the other dude responds “What’s a human?”

Space

I don't know....it's an attractive idea but personally I don't think it's correct. Either we're being quarantined because of our destructive tendencies.....or they're so far above us that radio to them is equivalent to two cans and a string.....

I think one thing missed here is that a type Omega society would likely see us as how we would see a virus, and likewise, the existence of the virus has no capability to fathom our existence whatsoever, it simply does what it does irrespective of our own machinations. To me it seems that early humanity had already ideologically skipped Kardashev's civilizational steps and considered this Omega society as what we would call God or gods. So while there may be no type 3 or 4 or 5 civilizations that we know of in our observable universe that currently exist, there very well could be one that is beyond our capability to ever comprehend.

4:59 heyyyy it's trollface!

It's so funny when WE trying to understand others more advanced civilizations but We can't

"Until we finally find FRIENDLY super aliens..."
Sounds like they know more than their letting on

type omega = mind blown

I think I should play Mighty Milky Way again lmao

Maybe the reason why we cant find life form in our galaxys is because the laws of nature only allow 1 life form in each galaxy or that there is a lifeform so advanced that it can hide its own from other lifeforms

Type 1: Control a planet
Type 2: control a solar system
Type 3: control a galaxy
Type 4: control multiple galaxy
Type 5: control the universe
Type 6: control multiple universe
Type 7: control the multiverse
Type 8: control laws of physics and make matter
Type 9: Control The very nature, death, life, the reality
Type 10: control the entire existence and the omniverse

Since we use solar energy wouldnt that mean we are type 1?

Did anyone else see the trollface at 5:00 or is that just me?

The main thing I liked about this clip is the 3story tall aquarium in the middle of the city . It's a great art peice or decorative centre peice for new cities 🤔 . Nobody built something like this .

The type Omega civ stuff just gives me an instant headache

An omega civilization is just god with extra steps

too bad we cant experience this in our lifetime

What if theres life in every planet in the universe which has discovered each other there also friendly and helpful and can understand every language even ours but they have some tech that makes them invisible to us and they will only reveal themselves if we become friendly and promise to not be at war with no criminals like the aliens do because they dont have wars no criminals and that bad stuff there waiting for us to be peaceful to each other respect each other so that there will be no destructive super cool like your in a video game cosmic war

Nothing has no reason. Do you really think the universe was randomly made out of nothing ? I am sure God created it for us. If this wasn’t the case then then there would be at least one other civilizations who would visit our solar system in the last thousands of years. As the Bible says: He who stretches the heavens and hangs the Earth on nothing. (Not a direct quote cause I don’t remember the exact verses)

this is just science wanted to be a religion lmao

what if they just come along and adopt us it the civilization, I think that could be pretty cool too

if there is a theoretical Omega Civilization, *ey Omega boios can I have your credit card information?* (if there is an actual Omega Civilization that actually have credit card systems, I am probably going to be murdered in an odd and painful way by the Omega Civilization's rulers for making this joke)

We haven't seen anybody YET

💙

The Contemelia are a type 4 civilization then

watch more Rick and Morty =)

This is what the Illuminati has been aiming for. Please don't mind. Besides, it seems like quantum physics are new to us, which humanity can't fathom. 😀

Yeah...tbh we don't need a Omega man..

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I GOT TROLLED 4:58

Imagine if humans were the only life in the infinite universe

The higher ends of the kardeshev scale are so unfathomable that a type 5 civilization could be causing the expansion of the universe but we’d never know
