supernatural If Aliens Are Out There, Why Haven't They Contacted Us?

[Fmulder9]

They are out there...whos to say we havent encountered them already

[djloe]

maybe they are reaching out its just that We Humans just cant tap in to their frequency.

[Denniz]

don't bother searching for aliens. they maybe are our senators and congressmen at this day and age.

my best hunch is most religious leaders ..... they really are out of this world man.

Possibilities

 

1. They're not developed enough. - these aliens are anywhere in between microorganisms and sentient social creatures. And even if they had technology, perhaps they didn't take to space and focused on their planet, first. Maybe they found a way to sustain themselves.

Maybe they're in the same stage as us, so we can only communicate with compatible technology. Scientists are reading "signals" and are looking for patterns that suggest intelligent life. (Google "Wow signal")

 

2. They're too far. - Scientists calculate that our signals from the beginning of human technology haven't even reached a neighboring star, yet. Our signals aren't even interstellar, yet. We've only recently (relatively) sent a satellite beyond Pluto (I think that thing was laun5hed in the 60s. Don't feel like checking my facts, RN)

 

The galaxy is HUGE!

 

Now there are trillions of galaxies. And immense distance between galaxies.

 

What are the chances that alien life "spawns" on the nearest inhabitable star, and that they have technology more advanced than ours? Super low. The nearest earth-like star is inconceivably far.

 

For perspective.

Sunlight, traveling at the speed of light, takes 8 minutes to reach Earth.

 

 

3. They're being morally responsible. - An alien race sufficiently advanced to reach us is likely to take us over or simply observe us, since their technology would be so advanced that they could analyze us and see how easy it would be to neutralize the human race.

 

4. We're not worth talking to. - Self explanatory.

They are already among us...

[Admiral Kunkka]

They are already among us...

I agree. Just go out and you'll see a lot of individuals that look like them

[rushcontan]

they are so busy

[__qriuos]

Maybe they already have but we fail to understand.

[messersmith]

maaring di pa magkatugma frequencies natin sa communication or maaaring mas nauna tayo nabuhay o sila ay maagang nag extinct

[chickfanatic]

They probably don't know how yet. 

[Rechsteiner]

Space is incomprehensibly large. To contact a potential planet around our nearest star (Proxima Centauri, 4.22ly away), it would take 4 years for our message to reach it. Not to mention if someone/something were to observe and record the message at the right moment in time, their reply would take another 4 years for us to receive it. Now imagine how far the rest of the galaxy is away from us.

 

Plus we are located in a mundane part of space, along one of the many arms of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Pili lang yung kinokontak/kinakausap nila😂😂😂

[Knife_47]

Because we have not achieved warp technology yet...

[francis_0170]

Malayo sila. Hindi umaabot sasakyan nila or nasira na lang.

[wakangamoks]

some are already here. that's why people are getting more crazier than before. hehehe
