Grey aliens are us in the future

I’m 100% sure they exist and I’m 99.9% sure there won’t be any contact over the next 10 years. It’s entirely possible there will never be, though I do hope otherwise.

Dunno but if I were an alien the stupidest thing I could do would be contact “humans”.

Human aren’t worth their time

If there is life out there, it would be rather unspectular. It would exist in the form of microbes, probably not even visible by the human eye. There are theories that suggest that there is a high chance of life on Enceladus.

One of the reasons that life could develop into complexity on Earth is that it could develop over the course of millions of years relatively undisturbed. There were no outside events like supernovae that swept Earth out of exsistence. The Primordial Soup could be cooked long enough to result in complex and intelligent life forms. Other places in the universe probaply have not that advantage, so that the development of life didn’t come that far yet.

I suspect that there is a higher chance that life in other places of the universe will be tainted by humanity than the other way round.

They’re already here- is no one following the UAP situation?

i’d like to think life exists on every single rocky planet. i remember reading about the discovery of single celled organisms deep in the earth’s crust. they exist in a very low-energy environment and therefore have slow metabolisms. some of these are theorized to be able to live for over a million years. they literally extract energy from inorganic compounds in metabolic pathways we don’t understand.

the question is: did life originate on the surface (deep sea hydrothermal vents are still surface in this context) or deep in the earth?

if life originated in the earth, then I think there’s a very high probability every single rocky planet is essentially a seed. inside of it’s core it has life and whenever the surface environment grants some long term stability, the life slowly emerges and evolves into different forms.

so how would extra terrestrial beings and humans interact in the next 10 years?

basically, I think there’s a chance (although low on such a short time scale as 10 years) that we will discover life on another planet. or at least some very significant signs of life. either on Mars or Venus or some Galilean moon, etc.

Earth is the neighborhood you roll your windows up when you drive through at max speed.

So I believe in aliens only in a statistical sense. There is a lot of space out there so SOMETHING has to be elsewhere. But those same stats tell me that the odds of it being intelligent is low, intelligent enough to contact us very low, existing at the same time as us (since we are a blip in the history of the universe) astronomically low and having the ability, or desire, to travel to us hilariously, laughably, insanely low.

I don’t think people who say aliens have been to earth are serious people. Sorry.

Maybe we are part of an extra terrestrial being. Like the things on our eyelids or blood cells or anyother microscopic lifeforms that are part of our organism.

In that case we are already in contact. So maybe an autoimmune response will be the next step.

I fucking wish. Why would they come though? We demonstrably suck. Project cats to the universe and maybe we can attract some nice folks.

I love Greg Bear’s take in the War Dogs trilogy.

They show up but slowly introduce themselves, give us trinkets, coerce & exploit us , then after much happenings, leave and the world goes on like nothing ever happened.

1. They are to far away to reach us
2. If they have technology which would make it possible for them to travel faster than light, they have such high intelligence that they don’t recognize us as intelligent beings like we don’t recognize viruses as having any intelligence, so they would never think of visiting us and communicating with us.

I believe that it is very likely that life exists elsewhere it the universe, but it ist very statistically unlikely for us to meet during the timeframe of our species existence. Even more so in the next 10 years. Tho an analysis of Europa might prove me wrong.

My opinion is that the probability of life developing on another planet, advancing to interstellar travel, and being physically close enough to us to visit us during the last few million years is so implausibly tiny that anyone seriously asking about their relations with human beings can be safely dismissed as a complete rube.
