When Will We All Die The Statistics of Human Extinction

The video explores the Doomsday argument, which uses statistical methods to predict human extinction. It discusses the Copernican Principle, suggesting humans are average observers in time, and applies it to estimate humanity's lifespan. The video also presents Fergus Simpson's approach, which uses population size to predict extinction probabilities. Both methods have limitations and assumptions, leading to different predictions. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding these models to make informed decisions about humanity's future.
