Nemu 02/05/22 5:31:27 PM #31:	If FTL travel doesn't exist, the only way for distant space travel would either be self-sufficient colony ships or extremely advanced cryostasis. If that's the case, they have bigger worries than spying on barely developed planets, not even counting the distance would make it impossible for them to find us. If FTL travel does exist, they're likely just too far away even with that mobility. If the closest life is a billion lightyears away, then there'd be no way any trace of them would ever reach us. <cite>Nemu posted [p:962394662] in Why do you...

Xethuminra 02/05/22 5:40:39 PM #32:	An extraterrestrial or transdimensional creature would not be unlike literally any other person or animal or microbia or plant.... They would require a very specific set of circumstances to cross paths with you for the sake of communication (especially peaceful communication like an exchange of ideas). This is assuming the organism or entity in question even actually exists or is capable of communication in the way we do. They probably wouldn't even bother threatening you or yelling at you unless they felt their young were threatened, or they were trying to establish territory. Most creatures are perfectly content running away, spying on you from the shadows, and/or jumping out of nowhere to kill you & possibly also eat you. If they appear to mock you, it is likely only to establish themselves in the eyes of their own herd. If they had contacted us in the past, with the rise of indirect communication like the internet, maybe they prefer to influence things behind the scenes and get humans to try to contact them or do their dirty work like building crazy machines. The aliens may also be trying to weed out the possibility of other threats in the universe and galaxy and are hiding behind the loud, boisterous earthlings as a smokescreen. Who knows. The reasons are as many as you can imagine and more. <cite>Xethuminra posted [p:962394890] in Why do you...

Aliens would need to be very close to receive any of our traffic. As unimaginably big as this universe is, they just don't know we're here.</quote> I recall reading a article that they'd probably hearing scratchy signals from the 1930's. TV from the 1950's. Isn't there some movie where they're just now might be picking up episodes of The Honeymooners or the such? That'd be crazy for us. Picking up some David Lynch like shit from some TV show some distant planet was playing. (edit) Then again they'd might be seeing David Lynch like shit from us. They're like WTF? </quote> ...

Radio signals travel at the speed of light. So they would only be recieving 1930s signals now if they're about 70 light years away. If they're like 1k light-years away, it would take them another 910 years to recieve those 1930s signals. If they're in the Andromeda Galaxy, it would take 2.5 million years. --- "Fear cuts deeper than swords." <cite>archedsoul posted [p:962404292] in Why do you...

gamer167 02/06/22 2:34:33 AM #51:	Idk people seem to assume that alien life in the universe would by default be more advanced than us. Maybe whatever form of alien life that is closest to us is actually more primitive, or on the same level/only slightly more advanced than us. Its not like anyone can really say. <cite>gamer167 posted [p:962405155] in Why do you...
