Richard Dawkins asks Neil deGrasse about what are his thoughts on the probability of life existing elsewhere in the universe. Neil is very positive about having life as the basic ingredients for having life are in abundance in the universe, as we are mostly made up of carbon. Are we Alone? - Finding Life Beyond Earth [Full Documentary] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiMszaiUVFY Brief Background - Ever since humans acknowledged the enormity of the universe, we have intuited that life must exist somewhere, either in our galaxy or some galaxy far, far away. If the universe contains billions of galaxies, and if each galaxy contains billions of stars, and if a fraction of those stars have Earth-like planets, then hundreds -- maybe even thousands -- of alien civilizations must exist across the cosmos. Right? For a while, science contented itself with the logic alone. Then, in 1995, astronomers located the first planets outside our solar system. Since then, they've detected nearly 300 of these extra-solar planets. Although most are large, hot planets similar to Jupiter (which is why they're easier to find), smaller, Earth-like planets are beginning to reveal themselves. In June 2008, European astronomers found three planets, all a little larger than Earth, orbiting a star 42 light-years away.

We're here. So they're there :) It's how nature works :)
It's about the Alien's mindset ... if it's malevolent, then we're dead. -
During the last question near the very end did the audience change?
-
God created aliens along with a vast universe.I'm sure the aliens are ape people too....Hahahhhaha
-
who is the we in the same sentence as intelligence?
-
mr imbecile tyson - your brain needs a 'slightly bigger sample' to accept a Creator. put that in your pipe and smoke it.
-
life has to be significantly sequenced. Mindless matter doesn't do programming.

Stephen Hawking does not exist except in the minds of lower human intelligence who needed something to believe in. With a" a few good men" there is hope?!!!LOL Show me just 1 used diaper of his to prove it..,

The nigger said it... it's gotta be true.

Honestly i'm getting sick of the arrogance of these guys. They have this narrow minded notion that anyone who believes in any religion must automatically be anti-science and must be a crazy creationist or must believe every word in the bible literally. tell me that's not the same arrogance that the crazy creationist types have towards science.

I don't think it's egocentric to think that Earth may be the only intelligent life out there at this moment in time. It all comes back to the Fermi Paradox. Is it egocentric to think that we may be the first intelligent life so far? Someone has to be the first. Maybe there was some filter that prevented life from developing up until a billion years ago that we just don't know about. That's not to say the universe isn't full of microbial life currently either. I dunno, I used to like Neil but he just seems like an arrogant ass sometimes.

I love him !!!!

Why are americans paying taxes to mind control and use directed energy weapons (V2K, remote neural monitoring, microwaving, scalar, sound) and gang stalking on innocent targeted individuals? These weapons can't be seen or traced and the victims are left with little recourse. The media, politicians, and psychiatry all cover and are complicit in allowing this torture. www.everydayconcerned.net, www.informationfortis.wordpress.com, www.freedomfchs.net, www.ICAACT.org, www.GMNKen.com

Everything Neil says is annoying. All his answers are pure theories, assumptions and speculation with no proof put forward for the people to see. They find something in a lab and expect us to just believe it without proof that they did. We have to go by their words and trust them. Get the hell out of here. I don't know about you guys but I'm skeptic.

Einstein and Maxwell are both fraud.
Time travel is impossible. NASA lied about EM drive and Solar Sail. LIGO lied about detected gravity wave. Reality is a computer simulation is a lie. Globle warming is a lie. Flat earth is a lie. BS top scientists are leading the world's science.
Do we deserve a science revolution?
