Former Canadian Dfence Minister is Confused by Stephen Hawking http://www.news1130.com/news/nationa...t-canadian-fan O CANADA OUR HOME AND NATIVE LAND awesome how someone like him took a position of that importance in Canada |
What I dont get is why everyone assumes that if there are aliens they are more advanced then us. How do we know that they arent still in the caveman stage on whatever planet they are on. |
I don't think cavemen have mastered intergalatic travel. Posted via RS Mobile |

i agree. other planets out there with life may not even have evolved to have "humanoid" intelligent organisms yet.. For all I know, the planets out there could just be inhabited by microbes. |
Yes that's true, regarding the microbes or lower life forms. But when we are assuming advanced life forms that have mastered space travel when we think about possible encounters. I don't think anyone will equate an alien encounter with lower life forms because we can't travel through space effciently enough to meet these less advanced life forms. So it's easy to see that our highest probability of seeing an alien is through them meeting us. Posted via RS Mobile |

how many hundreds of billions of planets or stars are there? im sure there is at least ONE or TWO species that HAS mastered intergalactic travel, took one look at us, saw Richmond and/or Paris Hilton, and decided to stay the fuck away from Earth. it's possible |
part 1, watch all parts |
any life form that has the capability of space travel will have almost no intention/reason to make contact with humans. |
would any intelligent life form want to give us technology/space travel given that they have observed us for a period of time and see that we: rape and pillage our own kind mass murder and wars over nothing still have numerous people dying/starving and in poverty while there are fatcats shitting money out every second would they really want such filth spreading across the universe? honestly, we're a plague and until we as a species are able to change the way we think and can live a life of servitude to others instead of to self. no intelligent benevolent species will want us to gain access to the rest of the universe |
human race is a virus....an intellectual culture would realize this and either kill us...or let us kill each other off.....or if they were compassionate they would try to change our ways and also, we are not the most advanced race in the universe...im sure there are thousands of races out there, much more advanced than us....millions that are at the same stage as us...and trillions that less advanced |
If you think about the biodiversity on Earth alone, then imagine what's out there! |
^ do you think other species if they do exist aren't or weren't like us at one point? |

There could be a huge disparity in size too. In the grand scheme of things, Earth is already a small planet within our local Solar System. Imagine if a huge body of planet were to spawn and sustain life and produce beings relative to its size. Universe = infinite possibilities. |

Think about it from the other perspective. Imagine if interstellar travel was possible for us tomorrow. The first thing we would do is to try to find other intelligent life. No matter if they are far advanced, or way behind us. So with infinite possibilities, I'm sure another space-faring life form will have the same goals. So of course they are going to contact us if they find us. Otherwise, what would be the point? You can even look at it on a macro level. Right here on earth we study every living thing to the greatest possible detail. So if we were traveling through space easily, we would be doing the exact same thing. Saying that a life form more advanced than us would simply ignore us because we are not advanced is like saying we should stop studying primates just because they aren't as advanced. |
Probably the aliens won't even see us a a lifeform. Maybe to them we are just a rust on a door knob. i think to assume that aliens are travelling through space to find lifeform, is assuming they have the same curiousity as us earthlings do. btw, i just wanted to make fun of that minister of defense .. didn't think this thread would get all trekky |
if human's can't get along with each other, what makes you think we will get along with aliens? |
Well in theory, existence of aliens = no more religion. So with religion abolished, I'm sure humans will get along a lot better. Or maybe we'll all have no other choice, because we'll be fighting the alien invaders together ;) |
But what if the other "aliens" are living on earth in a parallel universe and are similarly advanced? And while they might discover a gateway to our universe, who's to say that they have comparable military advancement? Stephen's thinking too small on this one. |
