One should figure that if another intelligent species managed to become advanced enough to receive our signals and travel here then they survived their own technological advances and therefore would probably be peaceful.

Course that's nothing more than a guess. But would stand to reason that a civilization that old and that advanced survived itself and therefore would be less than aggressive.

The dominant species is almost always hostile and aggressive.

If we found alien life we would definitely try to bring it back to our planet and dissect it so we could learn more about it.

You are a sick man.

Oh, I forgot, I shouldnt joke about the attendance because, we all know its an issue....thus, we get to joke about it.

we rely on sharks and other species to survive though. without the ecosystem we are fucked

look at what we do to mosquitoes. were dominant to them, and we dont need them, so we kill them. we actually spend a lot of time trying to find a way to eradicate them.

I thought Hawking was a " genius " ?



Its common sense- knowledge ...Aliens have been here for a very long time .

Only low intelligent life. Naturally we don't know for sure how another species that we might be able to communicate intelligently would do. One may imagine that a species intelligent enough to travel across light years may have enough empathy for others so as not to harm them.


I'm not so sure. We don't really do that now... I mean, we tag sharks and try to follow them without harming them. Our species now has evolved enough not to kill and dissect other forms of life we encounter, rather, we try to study them in their natural habitat. Of course we may dissect dead specimens we find. Even ourselves. But if we discovered sentient life elsewhere in the universe I doubt we'd go running in like Sherman thru Atlanta.

Don't you think mosquitoes are a little bit different though? I mean they spread disease. It's not like they're completely harmless to us.

Hawking's opinion is that the great motivator to move, en masse, from a home planet would be its destruction. If this were true, the aliens we find would be looking to colonize out of necessity and not be a benevolent explorer.

His opinion on this is no more correct than yours.

Aliens are here now ...so obviously they have found a way . They need to start taking better care of this planet before we go n fuck up another one.

what if einstein was right though? NOTHING can travel faster than light. and since we cant even travel a tiny fraction of that speed, theres a good chance that even if aliens do "find" us it will be thousands of years from now and they will only be able to see us through telescopes... an image of what we were before we all killed ourselves thousands of years from now.....

Aliens are here now ...

All right. You've said this a couple times. Please elaborate.

Ah... but...
You do not need to travel faster than light. You can travel slowly.
We know that gravity compresses the fabric of space time. You don't really travel toward an object. The idea is to compress the space between you and an object and travel a short distance to something light years away.

You're thinking of Cutlers kids.

Point out the aliens

Cmon man , don't play dumb ..you are an intelligent man . I've never seen one or their aircrafts ...But millions of credible people have ... I know 4 people who have seen alien aircraft and one person who's had an encounter ..One of the four saw the craft at O'Hare ..it fucked flights up for an hour ..she's a stewardess ... The girl who had an encounter grew up in Pennsylvania ..her cousin had an encounter too ..she's very successful n doesn't do drugs ... She's not crazy ... Its like ghosts ..they exist , I've never seen one n don't want to ...but lotsa people I know that are very credible have had interactions .
