Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
we pretty much know there is nothing else that close.
04:41.080
04:45.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And when you get beyond 10.
04:45.960
04:47.280
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Because they would have discovered us.
04:47.280
04:48.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Yeah, they would have been discovered as long ago,
04:48.680
04:50.360
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
or if they're really close,
04:50.360
04:51.440
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
we would have probably noted some engineering projects
04:51.440
04:53.560
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that they're doing.
04:53.560
04:54.640
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And if it's beyond 10 to the 26 meters,
04:54.640
04:57.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that's already outside of here.
04:57.880
05:00.000
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
So my guess is actually that we are the only life in here
05:00.000
05:05.000
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that's gotten the point of building advanced tech,
05:05.800
05:09.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
which I think is very,
05:09.040
05:10.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
puts a lot of responsibility on our shoulders, not screw up.
05:12.680
05:15.360
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I think people who take for granted
05:15.360
05:17.240
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that it's okay for us to screw up,
05:17.240
05:20.120
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
have an accidental nuclear war or go extinct somehow
05:20.120
05:22.760
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
because there's a sort of Star Trek like situation out there
05:22.760
05:25.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
where some other life forms are gonna come and bail us out
05:25.960
05:28.360
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and it doesn't matter as much.
05:28.360
05:30.400
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I think they're leveling us into a false sense of security.
05:30.400
05:33.400
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I think it's much more prudent to say,
05:33.400
05:35.200
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
let's be really grateful
05:35.200
05:36.400
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
for this amazing opportunity we've had
05:36.400
05:38.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and make the best of it just in case it is down to us.
05:38.720
05:43.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
So from a physics perspective,
05:44.080
05:45.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
do you think intelligent life,
05:45.680
05:48.800
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
so it's unique from a sort of statistical view
05:48.800
05:51.360
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
of the size of the universe,
05:51.360
05:52.560
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
but from the basic matter of the universe,
05:52.560
05:55.840
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
how difficult is it for intelligent life to come about?
05:55.840
05:59.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
The kind of advanced tech building life
05:59.040
06:01.280
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
is implied in your statement that it's really difficult
06:03.120
06:05.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
to create something like a human species.
06:05.720
06:07.640
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Well, I think what we know is that going from no life
06:07.640
06:11.560
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
to having life that can do a level of tech,
06:11.560
06:15.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
there's some sort of two going beyond that
06:15.720
06:18.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
than actually settling our whole universe with life.
06:18.720
06:22.200
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
There's some major roadblock there,
06:22.200
06:26.560
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
which is some great filter as it's sometimes called,
06:26.560
06:30.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
which is tough to get through.
06:30.880
06:33.520
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
It's either that roadblock is either behind us
06:33.520
06:37.160
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
or in front of us.
06:37.160
06:38.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I'm hoping very much that it's behind us.
06:38.720
06:41.080
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I'm super excited every time we get a new report from NASA
06:41.080
06:45.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
saying they failed to find any life on Mars.
06:45.960
06:48.480
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I'm like, yes, awesome.
06:48.480
06:50.080
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Because that suggests that the hard part,
06:50.080
06:51.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
maybe it was getting the first ribosome
06:51.680
06:54.240
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
or some very low level kind of stepping stone
06:54.240
06:59.240
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
so that we're home free.
06:59.520
07:00.400
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Because if that's true,
07:00.400
07:01.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
then the future is really only limited
07:01.720
07:03.640
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
by our own imagination.
07:03.640
07:05.200
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
It would be much suckier if it turns out
07:05.200
07:07.360
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that this level of life is kind of a dime a dozen,
07:07.360
07:11.440
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
but maybe there's some other problem.
07:11.440
07:12.760
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Like as soon as a civilization gets advanced technology,
07:12.760
07:16.160
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
within a hundred years,
07:16.160
07:17.000
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
they get into some stupid fight with themselves and poof.
07:17.000
07:20.320
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
That would be a bummer.
07:20.320
07:21.760
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Yeah, so you've explored the mysteries of the universe,
07:21.760
07:26.160
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
the cosmological universe, the one that's sitting
07:26.160
07:29.000
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
between us today.
07:29.000
07:30.000
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I think you've also begun to explore the other universe,
07:31.080
07:35.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
which is sort of the mystery,
07:35.960
07:38.000
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
the mysterious universe of the mind of intelligence,
07:38.000
07:40.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
of intelligent life.
07:40.960
07:42.840
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
So is there a common thread between your interest
07:42.840
07:45.280
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
or the way you think about space and intelligence?
07:45.280
07:48.760
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Oh yeah, when I was a teenager,
07:48.760
07:51.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I was already very fascinated by the biggest questions.
07:53.040
07:57.280
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And I felt that the two biggest mysteries of all in science
07:57.280
08:00.560
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
were our universe out there and our universe in here.
08:00.560
08:05.000
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
So it's quite natural after having spent
08:05.000
08:08.120
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
a quarter of a century on my career,
08:08.120
08:11.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
thinking a lot about this one,
08:11.040
08:12.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that I'm now indulging in the luxury
08:12.680
08:14.320
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
of doing research on this one.
08:14.320
08:15.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
It's just so cool.
08:15.960
08:17.720
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I feel the time is ripe now
08:17.720
08:20.120
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
for you trans greatly deepening our understanding of this.
08:20.120
08:25.120
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Just start exploring this one.
08:25.120
08:26.640
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Yeah, because I think a lot of people view intelligence
08:26.640
08:29.560
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
as something mysterious that can only exist
08:29.560
08:33.520
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
in biological organisms like us,
08:33.520
08:36.120
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and therefore dismiss all talk
08:36.120
08:37.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
about artificial general intelligence as science fiction.
08:37.680
08:41.160
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
But from my perspective as a physicist,
08:41.160
08:43.200
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I am a blob of quarks and electrons
08:43.200
08:46.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
moving around in a certain pattern
08:46.680
08:48.360
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and processing information in certain ways.
08:48.360
08:50.080
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And this is also a blob of quarks and electrons.
08:50.080
08:53.600
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I'm not smarter than the water bottle
08:53.600
08:55.360
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
because I'm made of different kinds of quarks.
08:55.360
08:57.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I'm made of up quarks and down quarks,
08:57.880
08:59.640
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
exact same kind as this.
08:59.640
09:01.400
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
There's no secret sauce, I think, in me.
09:01.400
09:05.080
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
It's all about the pattern of the information processing.
09:05.080
09:08.560
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And this means that there's no law of physics
09:08.560
09:12.240
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
saying that we can't create technology,
09:12.240
09:15.600
