A fascinatingly disturbing thought (Video)

Right on man. This add blows goat. There are plenty of ways to bring in revenue ( like producing more than 12 t-shirts at a time to sell).

oh yea… or you could spend 99 cents and get the pro version. but im sorry thats one double cheese burger.

We got your results in. Unlike the usual 1%, you're only about 0.5% away from a chimp's DNA. But it's that slight difference that results in posting "first" after seeing a video that interesting.

me too

Yea, an astrophysicist for president, you dumb fucking idiot

Exactly. 1% of 100 is 1 which is very small. 1% of say 1 million is 10 thousand, which is a lot. Chromosome 1 alone has ~220 million base pairs. so the different 1% between humans and chimps is in the 10 millions

Know what that higher being might be called?

God.

I was getting ready for the amazing thought, but then the video ended.
If you couldn't summarize that in 4 or 5 sentences, you probably coudn't get through high school.

you might be 2% different…

After 12 minutes I wanted to hear more. In fact I want to know where he lectures so I can be apart of this mind nurturing experience.

I almost blew the weed my bowl looking at this. hahahahahahahaha

realzoo can ya help a fellow chiver and divulge the secret of posting a pic from the outside.

As long as they dont treat us like we treat the inferior species on our planet. Capture them, cage them, demesticate them, put them on show, hunt them, kill them. You know all that good stuff we do to the 1% below us.

I think there have been to many examples of different variables in cultures on earth, to make the assumption, that just because we are no threat, that they will act in a non-hostile fashion. Who has any idea what factors shape alien societies.

And to think – they probably already know we exist.

Haven't you seen the movies dude? Earth is the place they're gonna come to when their planet is dyeing and are gonna extinguish all human beings. And they wept will smith and Tom cruise waiting for their asses

Last part shoulda said "but that's ok we got will smith and Tom cruise waiting got their asses 😝

Michio Kaku has said that if a species of greater intelligence then us were to make contact, one that had the ability of interstellar travel, etc. etc., the simple fact that we were able to observe them would mean they had already decided to allow us to live. He likened us to ants standing next to a super highway in comparison. It would be as simple for them to utterly annihilate us, and all record of us from history, as it is for us to step on an anthill.

But what if one of them takes a taste of us just out of curiosity and discovers we're delicious. They would probably be pretty quick about finding ways to make our skin crispy while maintaining a delicous interior moistness. I think it would take them a while longer to figure out what to force feed us to achieve the most delicate and tasty foie gras.

But what is cool about him is he doesn't make you feel like a idiot. He just wants to teach, enlighten and promote astrophysics. He is a very refreshing person to listen to.

no one is interested in your pokemon characters

…and Brian Cox

I didnt hear him say he wanted to be remembered in the same league as anyone! He loved sagan too cant he express what he has learned or repeat his brilliance? We all repeat what we have learned or been taught at some stage of our life right?
He gave people a concept to concider. A lot of people would of/still are oblivious to it. Im thankful he shared it be it his own or Sagan's.
If Sagan was sat next to him im sure he would of said it!

Additionally, it is the ability to clearly convey these ideas to the majority, and with humor no less, that makes him what he is. The fact that this is a clip of Tyson on theChive, and not Sagan, is testament.

We are all just dwarves standing on the shoulders of giants.

NDT just so happens to be a tall dwarf compared to most of us.

Personally I like Tyson's delivery more than I do Sagan's.

It's spelled "PLAGIARISM" not "PLAGUARISM"

it's still massively based on conjecture and the assumption (which all scientists seem to make) is that an alien lifeform is going to be automatically smarter than us. maybe any planets in other star systems that are even remotely close to earth that harbour life are not even up the the evolutionary part of animals that are as smart as early mammals. What most people fail to realise is yes there could be a star wars-type galaxy in the universe but if it is on the other side it will never ever be found by this planet. what these guys need to do is stop telling everyone how abundant life probably is in the universe and start educating people on how massive the universe is.

Lol'd

Someone let NDT know that his theory has been debunked on a comment thread at TheChive. He'll be bummed, I'm sure.

Like how seeds get caught in the jet stream and cross continents. It is a very viable possibility…unless you are closed minded.
