The problem with Type Omega is that it justifies religion, which may not be bad on its own but considering how ass-backwards we’ve gotten at times due to it....

is that a Prismo reference near the end?

It would be kinda creppy if humans were to be found in another planet like a few light years away.

Don't worry don't be scaredy cat. Infinite energy is more simpler than you think.

Im sure if humanity was more ethical it would be simply better.

Even the dinosaurs were an expermental imports by aliens to earth

The reality has so many probabilities that it is hard to touch the actual point

Aliens are much bigger . They are combination of animals and humans.

Watching this again right after Pentagon confirmed new UFO footages

Ok lets score:
1. Your fiesta empire on ur own empire u start by having sime colones
2. U take from more star systems
3. U find empires ( frends or enemyes)
4. After some time u meet The Grox Empire
5. Then u enter into thad bigass black hole and u get I8nf88ehi2he
4. After some time,

I read kardashian scale haha

5:01 the aliens refuse to codificate humans signall thinking that we are an race of memetards

cool

This is just a huge Minecraft survival server

Imagine if Kurgzesgqt was a teacher. He would be the best

This music...🌌

So I noticed the Star Wars reference at 4:39. The aurebesh writing says “it is me you’re looking for”. Love your channel!

I wanna cure ageing so I can live to see a class omega civilization

8:18 Congrats you've justified religion.

LOL

you ever think "this shit is all made up"

This video about aliens is SO MUCH BETTER than your other past ones concerning things like the Great Filter. I hate that flawed theory and so glad it wasn’t repeated in this one. Thank you!

Then you mean that there are 20 quintillion stars in the universe?

If we do find alien life some humans are definitely going to make a new religion involving them...

0:01 Citation needed

I say we are 1.3 because we are going to mars

What if alien body construct is we haven't expected like what if theres life on mars but we cant see it because their body is made out of air or something like that

wow, just wow

It is interesting that he considers humans to be advanced compared to ants and ants advanced compared to bacteria since bacteria are more powerful than ants and ants are more powerful than humans. There is one category in which humans are far ahead of ants and bacteria: arrogance.

Type one versus type 4 civilization seems like rats vs modern humans.

I hope we find cavemen alien civilization

Can you see sun in milky way?

Maybe we don't see signs of Type 2+ civilizations because these civilizations learned and understand the importance of conservation and the harmful effects of artificial influence on nature. They're taking explicit steps to avoid catastrophic events by making sure their presence doesn't disturb anything beyond what's necessary.

8:39 my goals are beyond your understanding

I love your work Kurzgesagy, I would like to point out that the Italian subtitles are incomplete, they end at minute 3:01

8:21
I want to touch that thing

And to think Euro Gentiles didn't learn about soap until 1,000 years ago

So we're like ants to a type 2 civilisation.
Imagine how ants would be like to a type 2 civilisation then.

In other words..... Pure fantasy.

Thanks for making me want to play spore

Let's put it like this
Humans *primary school*
Type 4-5 *university*
So think of it as like every civilization is in stages, like years in a school. And we are slowly evolving.

Repent for your sins i not pushing my beliefs but God loves you he died for you

Imagine an omega alien destroying our planet with a magnifying glass lol

"Curious, competitive, greed, and expansionist" is likely to fuck its self so much for that idea lol it's the last to words that worry me :/

This has got to be the best video yet

9:07 "technology so far above our own, we couldn't miss them" well what do you think black holes are, hm?

Maybe instead of expanding, we shrink ourselves so our limited resources become virtually unlimited

Did they really put a fucking trollface in this video

" and a type omega civilization, able to rule the entire universe "
*Germany has entered the chat*

this is about the only thing that would unite the human race...
our mutual hatred of someone else.

I hope we are not in a car battery

Do you think a lower type 2 civilization could harness the power of the sun through other means? Like using the sun as fuel if it can be extracted and contained?

I have confusing feelings about this theory. I find it cool, but scary at the same time.

It's all relative, we might be omega civilization and our cell cores are just universes. Our universe might just be a cell core of another organism.
we might be omega civilization since we create bacteria/viruses in labs. We might be just a bacteria created by another species in the lab.
also we create virtual world like in pc games. We might just be a pc game for another species.

4:58 that scene is literally horrifying

A type three civilization could easily be right in our midst or even actively interacting with or controlling us and we would never know. A more advanced civilization than our own might not just be more powerful, but also more subtle. Who says they need megastructures? They may have figured out far less invasive ways of getting their energy fix or may have outgrown the need for material expansion such that they leave a very faint footprint.
Perhaps they know about us already and have intentionally distorted the information we have access to from Earth for our own good.
This possibilities require more assumptions than supposing that all alien civilizations are space capitalists, but I don't find the assumptions very compelling. I would be more confused (not to mention disappointed) to find that extraterrestrials are like us than not like us.

Or some civilization may just live in peace.

Just trolling

damn. with those animations and creative design, would be so cool if they made a game.

If humans ever can advance to other planets and solar systems or galaxies, they should help smaller civilizations if they find any

Hey Kurzgesagt, I am very willing to purchase the merchandise and further support the channel, but am feeling the prices may be exaggerated.
Would you please consider lowering the price slightly, 15-20% perhaps and offer a Kurzgesagt duck tank top?
I need to flex on bicep curls and environmental knowledge, ya feel?
I want to do more with supporting the channel but currently find that difficult with the excessive merchandise prices.
Love the content, keep it up 👍

Red guy:what no way *fist bumb* blue guy :what *fist bumb*

"If everyody thought like einstein we would all think like einstein"


Random dude on yt

It's why the Kardashev Scale is not well accepted. It's too aggressive and civilizations that would spring from such have a tendency to be unstable and no last long.

I think the reason we haven't discovered other species yet is because of the fact that any radiowaves or light takes time to travel and over time becomes dated meaning in basic terms we see the universe around us as it was in the past which means by the standards provided here we would not see another civilization in our solar system yet.

That space is 13 billion years old isn’t true it is around 11 billion years old

I just had an existential crisis thank u

Imagine gods looking over the entire universe controlling everything I think it could damage our sanity and faithfulness

Kurzgesagt actually put a musical easter egg in their video!!! 6:44 I can't believe they do stuff like this! It's one of my favorite videos (stellar engine) too! XD

Humanity when a type 2.51 Civilization appears thay are beyond are comprehension.

I seriously am addicted to this channel

7:36
einstein: "shut up"

u r cool

The question is not ‘Do aliens have hands, mouths and an anus’ it’s ‘where on their bodies are their hands, mouth and anus located; and how do they function’?

0:11 that is a sextillion

6:02 wat

Not the infinity omega infinity

Alien 1: *They're setting off another radioactive warhead in their own atmosphere and poisoning they're own planet.*
Alien 2: *Lmao these idiots aren't going to reach level 1*

5:01 The troll face had appeared in this video and I had not realized

Us: sending codes into space
Aliens: gets the codes
Aliens: low on power
Aliens:

Your videos are so well made. I love the animations!

Great video!

Damn so Star Wars could become a real thing

Type 10000 Be Like: Able To Use Everything

Type omega civilization : *shaggy*

I love this part type 1 to type 4 3:29

👀👀👀👀👀

Here's a theory: All the greater celestial bodies in the universe could be considered Gods, except they're not intelligent at all - they're just unfathomably energetic and chaotic. Moreover, we are to the greatest celestial bodies what they are to galaxies what they are to the entire universe.
Being able to have control on such a seemingly infinite scale would require us to not only theorize that we can bypass the laws of physics as we know them, but also have the means to do so. That would require an intelligence so evolved that we could actually comprehend the concepts of the different plane of physics at our disposal. Not only that, but we would have to physically evolve into something equally as uncomprehensive.

Humanity likes to protect its ideals. In a country, for example, states argue, but when the country goes against another country, the entire country fights together. If we encounter another civilization, we'd forget all our arguments, and work together as one. Probably.

I wonder what would happen if we rickrolled a type 1 civilization...

THE ALIENS BE TROLLIN US HARD

WHAT IS HAPPENIN' TO MY WORLD THIS CRISIS IS WORSE THAN COVID AND I THOUGHT COVID WAS BAD

The lessons of the dark forest: eyes open, mouth shut. Learn fast.

The cheap tie physiologically kneel because drum identically wail vice a abashed dollar. gamy, oafish light

In universe there is nobody exist but us. Probably even 500 years later we wont see any creature that is different from the ones in our world.

So ants are a civilization? *time to upgrade*

Maybe there is now an type 3/4 in our galaxy but they are new and on the other side of the Milky Way and their light didnt reach us yet

Contact with other intelligent civilizations is next to impossible due to the vast distances involved. Our own galaxy is about 100,000 light years across, but even if our closest neighbors were "only" 100 light years away, it would take 100 years for just a message to reach them, then another 10 decades to get a reply. And unless they can travel faster than light speed, they wouldn't get here for thousands of years. FYI, in just one year, light travels roughly 6 trillion miles! And if there's intelligent life on the other side of our galaxy, you would have to multiply 6 trillion by 100,000! And that isn't taking into consideration all the billions if not trillions of other galaxies, which are moving away from each other constantly as space continues to expand. So yeah, there may be millions or untold trillions of other intelligent civilizations scattered throughout the universe that we will never, ever know about.
