And by aliens I mean, outer space creatures and UFO. For whatever reason all UFO sighting footage looks either fake or like recorded with a Casio keyboard. And I find hard to believe we don’t have any decent footage of them with all the surveillance and technology we have now.

    our current theories are probably downright primitive to any advanced life form and there’s undoubtedly blind spots in modern day science

    “All due respect”, this is pure speculation. We may very well be at a close approximation of physics and have a reasonably accurate understanding of the limitations. Or we may not be. But there is not really much of a reason to think that what we know now about the limitations of the universe (like the speed of light) should somehow be upended by new discoveries or theories.

      But what you are doing is also speculation. You have a firm belief that aliens don’t visit because it’s too far to travel. Because you speculate that they would use combustion engines and run out of gas, or it would take too long because they have to travel in a line (not using wormholes and whatnot).

      I think some people are just more open to looking past those limitations that we have. Just because humans have those limitations does not mean others do.

      Our civilization don’t have space exploration as a profession. You and I can’t even leave the planet. We have astronomers looking at things and we have space agencies that tell us what they see. And that’s it.

      Us speaking about what other species can do is a bit silly. We really have no idea.

      It’s super likely that others have found a way to extract energy from space itself. Humans are still focused on fighting eachother. It’s primitive here.

      This entire discussion is pure speculation-- are you really going to be that guy who says "but not my comment!"?

        Are you really saying that “aliens have not been to Earth” and “aliens have been to Earth” are equal when it comes to speculation? You would need a lot of evidence to prove the latter and there’s a lot of theory to support the former.
