Here's why the idea of "Alien Contact" is stupid.

Are the laws of physics as humanity has theorized, really the laws of physics though, because if physics are displayed in something opposite of the law, doesnt that change the law by default, friend? :jawalrus:

sure, but we don't see that happening, and there's no reason to assume it could happen

"anything's possible" and blah blah blah, but that doesn't mean it's probable

i cant buy it.. if earth made it to the point that anyone could travel around the galaxy on some wild wild west shyt.. and there were thousands or millions of planets with some type of civilizations on them in reach then there would be a thousand different reasons for visiting and interacting with these planets with wildly different types of humans even reaching out..

Humanity cant really guage probability with such limited time on the planet and even smaller understanding of the universe and what little we can gauge is in a very small scope.

actually aliens movies dont have it right. unless all aliens are of the mindset of european whites.

who else has ran thru every civilization just for the purpose of hi-jacking their resources because their own was very scarce?

the truth is, all the alien movies we've grown up watching. were made by white people. who know how white people think, have been throughout history. this is why they depict aliens like that. the alien is THEM-WHITE people coming to conquer and take over due to some resource they dont have and you have that the can steal.

You are mistaking an innately human trait for one that only white people possess. Whites are not the only race of people to enslave and murder and pillage. I was just using the example as it is probably the one most are familiar with. Humans are a violent species, but I am of the opinion that life itself is violent, and its the way the world works. The strong (whether through intelligence or physical traits) outlast, outlive, and are generally ambivalent towards weaker species.
How are you all saying... because we must be inferior that they wouldn't bother or it wouldn't be worth it for them to make contact with us??

First off, we may be different. We don't know what they are, what they would look like, how they think, etc.. so if they discover us then it's possible that they would at least want to examine us and our planet.

Second, we examine, explore the habitats, and "make contact" with less intelligent organisms, who are less advanced than us right here on Earth. So wouldn't another race of people do the same to a creature on an entirely different planet.
Exactly my point. They would do the same to us. Examine, explore and find out how we tick in the name of science. How do we do that here on Earth? We place animals in enclosures and subject them to a myriad of experiments in the name of the betterment of society. An advanced race may well use us as their lab animals, pets....food :huhldup:
they would need tech that basically breaks the laws of physics
Not break, but exploit :youngsabo:

well you might as well say "how can we know anything". we do the best we can. and if it's able to make accurate predictions, it must have some value

:snoop: you do know the laws of physics are human theory right? these dudes could be millions of years more advanced than us

in our world, institutionalized scientific theory supersedes all facts and possibilities of the Universe.

We have no knowledge of/if other organisms in the universe have mastered worm holes or if they can figure out some new sh1t like using the gravitational pulls of the stars and planets to speed space travel. We don't even know if they are living on Earth monitoring us right now undetected- utilizing some technology we've never considered.

a lot of things "could be". but given our current understanding, it's more likely I could walk through a wall then travel faster than light
