0: 42 by handful of gravity you meant stars and planets chained to a black hole or a very strong center of gravity, right?
1: 01 for the record, almost all globular clusters are about 100ly across, Not a snowball-s chance in the sun is that accurate. If they were that close together they-d blow each over apart from massive bouts of turbulent stellar wind, if not create a massive cloud of their components (likely to be pure hydrogen and helium if they-re not population II or I, but so far we know globular clusters to be population II, or metal poor) from stellar collisions happening within a few years of being created. The three body problem is one issue but a million? The universe largely wouldn-t allow it, not with any stability anyway.
2: 43 -an alien star would collide with our sun one day- that-s the last thing you-d have to worry about. If any planets existed around them, they-d be thrown about between star to star as gravitation perturbations result in planets being flung about like a juggling act. Although with more adult humor you could say gravitational attraction is more open in one.
3: 00 I would completely disregard this argument. If we didn-t have a planet to stand on to become a civilization in the first place, we couldn-t become a Kardeshev type I anyway. If the planet can recreate humanity in its current form, not denying any shortcuts to where we are; that means they should have every element in their bodies we have. Therefore they will be able to achieve the same technological goals if the elements that they are made up of have to be at least a significant fraction as abundant on their planet as they are for us.

His statement that a globular star cluster is only 3. 2 light years across is a vast understatement. Globular clusters are typically 100 to 150 light years across. Moreover his claim that our galaxy has 150 star clusters is only the number of globular clusters. There are thousands of open star clusters which have a lot fewer stars (a dozen or so to hundreds, are not as tightly packed, have irregular shapes and are not as large. Globulars do tend to have less metal as he noted since they are older and not much metal had been forged in stars before the globulars were born. He noted the possibility of another star colliding with our sun if we were in a globular cluster which is a possibility since the stars are closer together. But a star would not have to collide with our sun to wreak havoc; if it got close enough to our solar system it could gravitationally alter Earth-s orbit, either sending us closer to the sun and frying us or farther away and freezing us.

But do a wonderful video where if we were in a different solar system with different other players that wouldn-t quite in then or earth had a ring it be a kind of beautiful view but it wouldn-t be that great for us now on earth on earth we have lots of snow on the top and bottomAll that snow yet on the top and bottom would just melt so we-re not really have any water because all her water would please put all of the ice would melt so the water will not hurt emotions instead so will be on dry land which make water the most ancient thing on earth

That was super interesting. I wish we would have seen a bit more of what our night sky, and maybe daytime sky too would look like living on such a planet. Would the stars be numerous and bright enough to be seen in our daytime sky? How drastically might all these bright close stars affect our own night sky? Would a normal night be possible for us, or would they leave us in perpetual brightness, or at least gloom? Would our astronomers be able to see beyond the glut of stars surrounding us to notice the rest of the galaxy and Universe?

I searched for this content in wikipedia. It says that globular clusters have a volume of few million parsec. 1parsec = 3. 3 light years. But this video says its 3. 2 light years across. Lets say a globular cluster has a volume of 1 million parsec (according to wikipedia. Then its diameter will be 124 parsec across. That is 409 light years across. I don't believe in 3. 2 light years because its physically impossible to have that amount of stars in such a small volume. Please correct this.

Jajajaja bien. Como alcanzando esta este punto de avance. COMO PODEMOS PERMITIR SER ESCLAVIZADOS Y X UN GRUPO DE COBARDES MASONES QUE NI DAN LA CRA Y SE MUEVEN EN LA SOMBRA PARA TRAICIONARNOS. FAMILIAAAA APLIQUENSE PARA CONTRARRESTARLOS Y LLEVARLOS A LA NADA. PINCES MASONES DE LOS RITOS DE YORK Y ESCOCES. JAJAJAJA LUEGO NO SE QUEJEN DE LOS RESULTADOS. JAJAJAJA.

The speculation seems a tad outlandish. First, I cannot recall hear tell of and Sun ever colliding in a globular cluster. Secondly, planets with metals - we know so very little about the evolution of globular clusters that the claim of metal poor planets seems above and beyond the pale of rational speculation.

This video isn't as much fun. Not because of the topic, but the narrator is different. The tone I noticed first, but then the whole style is different. I AM getting the information. But the video not just same, low quality than many other What Ifs.

Living in a Globular cluster would mean extreme, erratic -seasons- with lethal properties. Imagine the life likely to arise under such conditions. Ages of intense radiation giving way to brief days of lull. It'd be living hell.

hey, is there any similarity between solar system and atom? whereas sun behaves as nucleus and rest planet as electrons and protons. And these milky way and galaxies make an element of substance that we see from inside out.

Two real life plot twists: It turns out we don't live on the outskirts of the milky way and rockets already are made of rocks. That's where metals come from.

Short Answer: we die
Don-t forget the black holes that may form
Don-t forget the supernovas that can occur
Don-t forget the stars make heat

It's very refreshing to hear someone say multi star systems are less stable and are less likely to evolve intelligent civilizations. You have my respect.

It would make sense for that whole cluster to collapse on itself under gravity and create a hypernova as big as portion of the galaxy.

Globular clusters form from ancient massive cosmic dust and gas clouds. Not from stars just coming together.

Maybe the Star Wars universe happened in a Globular cluster. That's why interstellar travel was so easy.
