Why Finding Alien Life Would Be the Most Exciting (and Scariest) Discovery Ever
February 3, 2018 by Hemant Mehta
What would be the most exciting scientific discovery ever? Arguably, it would involve alien life forms, on or from another planet. But as this Kurzgesagt video notes, that would also be a terrifying revelation because of what it would say about our own existence.
As with everything they do, this video will mess with your mind and leave you with all sorts of existential doubt. But watch the whole thing and you really see life in perspective.
After watching that, it’s almost comical to think God is out there micromanaging every single one of our lives.
