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


Recommended Posts

if that happened, I believe I would be violated in many grotesque ways by a tentacled demon. Sorta like Japanese cartoon porn.

 

so..."scientists have discovered two new species of strange-looking microbes that live in the bellies of termites, and they've named the creatures Cthulhu and Cthylla, an ode to H.P. Lovecraft's pantheon of horrible monsters."

 

your alien hentai fantasy may come true yet. lol.

Who knows maybe aliens have been trying to contact us but we're just not on the same frequency as them. We also have SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) but the aliens just haven't received our messages because they are on a different frequency.

 

Mind boggling possibility. But scary we may suffer a brutal invasion.

I think people will still attempt to do it even if it means not getting there before millions of years pass on earth. We don't even need wormholes. Sleeper and generation ships have been suggested in the previous century. And if we do find ETIs, we could even us William Gibson's idea of transmitting people there (Gibson suggested joint interstellar virtual reality interface with whatever the extraterrestrials used as an internet).

 

Anyway, great post. The best I've read here since, well, ever :D

 

sleeper and generation ships while plausible is such an inefficient way of doing things.

 

That means you'd have to deal with relativity, you'd be travelling linearly and have to deal with ageing. Even if you were put in some kind of cryo sleep, the time you spend aboard the ship versus earth time, the gaps would be staggering, you could leave now, get to alpha centauri in say 100 years, gather data, make the trip back in another 100 years, and be surprised that the earth has been wiped out by a global catastrophe. There's also communication back to earth to worry about. I maybe explaining it vaguely but you can read The Forever War (excellent book!) you'd know what I mean.

 

it's just so cumbersome.
