Study: 'ET should have found us by now'

New research has suggested that an alien race should have been in touch by now, mathematically speaking.
The study goes on to suggest that we are actually being deliberately avoided by the interstellar community. "We're either alone, or they're out there and leave us alone," said mathematician Thomas Hair. The research is based on the notion that if an advanced alien civilization had developed within our galaxy then enough time has passed since the galaxy's formation to have facilitated travel to Earth from even the most distant stars. The study however did not take in to account the possibility of intelligent life outside of the Milky Way.
If humans living on a planet that is roughly 5 billion years old have technology like Kepler, an alien civilization with another 10 million years of experience under its belt would have advanced much further, Hair maintains.

As all truth messengers already know, human beings always stand in the way of one trying to spread the truth, via such tactics as peer pressure and ridicule. If one ever mentions the truth to a human being, the human being will quickly attempt to suck that person back into the mindless reality that is referred to, here on Earth, as the "real world." The truth is an enemy of humanity. So, if you are a slave to the human race, then you will forever keep the truth at arm's length. You obviously not only have no idea of which you speak, but is also completely ignorant of science. I would suggest t... [More]

You obviously not only have no idea of which you speak, but is also completely ignorant of science. I would suggest that you educate yourself a bit before posting so you don't look so foolish. Cheers, Badeskov Note that the only people offended by this kind of anti-science information are those who worship Earth's authority figures. Although, these people will explain away such an accusation by claiming that science is synonymous with rationality, and therefore is simply the best way to seek the truth. In actuality, however, science is merely pseudo-rational: Science rejects the existence of c... [More]

If I were an alien and I happened across this thread (by whatever means, it's not actually going to happen, I'm stating a pure 'what if' statement here. Also this statement only includes me putting human values and perception on it, because I am a human. I have no other way of knowing how an alien would actually regard this thread): I would def not visit this planet or make any comment. I would just turn off my space ship lights and quietly fly away.

Back to the subject: What, When, Who & Why Part 1 Disclosure. An official statement that … WHAT? Well, that the Earth is being visited, er, has been visited since … WHEN?
