Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying -Arthur C. Clarke

imagine during those three minutes some alien was off taking a piss and missed the signal

i just love that earth is basically reacting like people in horror-movies that yell "hello? is anybody there" in the dark

The theory i find most plausible is that we are the first intelligent life form. The universe is "only" 14 billion years old, and seeing that life on earth took more than 4 billion years to evolve, it seems likely that life is young and we are the ancient civilisation.

Imagine getting a transmission from space only to decode it as the universal S.

"Briefly screaming in random directions" is my new favourite way of explaining how we're looking for aliens

"In 1977 the "wow" signal was received, in 2012 we sent a response" It took us 35 years to reply!!

I hate the thought of dying without knowing if intelligent life is out there or not

LEMMiNO: there are no signs of a galactic empire. Rebels: you're welcome.

came back after watching his 370 plane video. Sometimes one can wonder, we have radar build to find something beyond earth yet we can't find MH370

We are like a sailors on a boat floating in an infinite ocean, throwing bottles into the water and hoping someone will find them and send one back.

Imagine the day we receive a transmission. And that transmission says: don’t be so loud. They’re looking for you.

"If fish don't need air to breathe then they can survive in space right?" -Some dude at a Speedway gas station

“wat is dis” - aliens, 2044

The fact that I’m going to die before we get to truly explore deep space is honestly depressing

I don’t just watch these videos because I enjoy them, I watch and wait thinking that maybe one day I won’t just hear the same silence. That someone has found something out there, something new a new hope. But yet again I know deep down that with every video about space , the same answer is always nothing.

humanity just has to accept that we've been left on read

I’ve come to a conclusion that he’s just a sane version of Vsauce.
