They would be wise to not test us... Hopefully they will have watched documentaries about how we destroyed alien invaders such as documentaries like Battle Los Angeles, Predator and Independence Day.
Maybe they watched Signs, are extremely sensitive to water, and aren't morons like the aliens in Signs.
Good. Because we know that we can truly trust the military to be honest.
That movie was pretty cool... until our defense was locking wooden doors with pieces of wood latches. Aliens can come to Earth and kidnap people without being detected but those ****ing wooden pantry doors were their downfall. LOL
I think you’re on to something there. We’ve kicked the butts of so many aliens it’s no wonder they would try to hide from us.
Their downfall is often so simple too... they travel across the galaxy with warp drive and ridiculously advanced cloaked ships with energy shields... but they forget to wear a mask when they get out of their ship and catch a virus that kills them all. It is the little things sometimes.
Lol. Yea, that little cold is too much for them to handle.
No it isn’t. But traveling sublight is pretty inconvenient if you’re just going to check the place out.
You can only do so many 1 Billion light year trips before the universe expands to nothingness...
Do not speak for me.
Perhaps. Though I’m not sure immortality equals patient. And in any case you could argue that an immortal race would be very risk averse after all if old age isn’t going to kill you eventually you probably don’t care for the idea of losing your immortality to a collision with a random rock in space. So maybe you’d prefer to send a probe.
Who wooda ever thunk the report would say they were unexplainable and that there may or may not be aliens on another planet?
Some do.
Good point. It’s why I chose to say “generally”. I have no expertise in field research but my common sense pov is that research of different species might require hiding because it’s known that that species is easily scared off. Mankind, generally, is curious and will investigate anomalies. I would think that by now any alien visitors would know this. Also capturing video feed would probably clue them into how to approach us to announce their arrival. All very strange behavior to try to avoid us for an advance entity.
What's strange or not strange very much depends on what's normal.
Although “time travel” in movies have some entertainment value the concept never made much sense to me. It makes for an interesting topic of discussion (one I’ve had many times over - no pun intended), I don’t view it as an entity in itself but rather a construct of the mind to measure events. We can’t measure the future because it hasn’t occurred. At best, we can only predict (a function of the mind) possibilities. But if time could be traveled, as a time traveler I would prefer traveling through the future rather than the past.
Good thing you're time traveling to the future every moment.
Every moment is the present.
The current moment, but you're traveling from the present to the future. You can't travel from the present to the present, or you would end up in the past.
Which is not the future but the new present. We can only live in the present moment. We can only think about the past or future. Neither exists in reality.
