Duke Wellington Posted June 15, 2021 #26 Share Posted June 15, 2021 We are the only known example of civilization (unless we count ants, termites, bees, wasps, and hornets). There will be aspects of our civilization that aliens haven`t comprehended, maybe physics is even different for them. And thats exactly why they would conquer us Borg style to improve their own civilization. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadLordAvatar Posted June 16, 2021 #27 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Doesn’t matter either way. Humanity is doomed because too much evil is rooted among us already (corruption, greed, politicians, etc). Therefore the notion that making contact would unite all nations is voided.

Radio waves are the pulse and the "noise" of the Universe. They are a very reliable carrier and I do not understand why some people think/say that sophisticated alienz use something other. If so, these sophisticated alienz would had used radio waves at an earlier stage of their development process and if they are looking for signals they would include radio waves as well. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where the recent UFO/UAP thing baffles me. If that is UFOs flying around (we don't really have any proof at all that it is) then why the hell would SETI or NASA still be pushing ahead with outdated means of communication or propulsion (in NASAs case)? Why would anyone capable of critical thought think these UFOs are from space? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be like that television soap opera called V where the aliens were the corrupt, greedy politicians creating division. But then, probably not, since that seems to be too human.

As I have said on here before, the people currently involved in the release of the navy videos seem to be trying to lead us down that path. A Dr Davis who worked for AATIP even said he saw no evidence that these tic tacs etc were of an earthly nature or human origin. I personally think it's bullhonk but again, supposed "critically" thinking people are insinuating these ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have been paid to say whatever or he may believe something he has no proof of OR he may just be misinformed about the actual technology that our military or another country's military is capable of.

That is correct but the same could be said vice versa. Just because I don't know him doesn't mean he is instantly a liar. Yes he may be ill informed but then maybe he is not.

My comment was referring to your "supposedly critically thinking people" reference. It has nothing to do with anything someone claims a Dr. Davis said or believes. You might be the only one who supposes that everyone expects a doctor to be a critical thinker. It has never been true that people who call themselves doctors are always considered critical thinkers.

Its technically possible we to receive radio waves from civilizations which disappeared a long time ago in the same way as we receive photons from stars which disappeared billions of years ago. En-route is en-route, no matter what the sender`s status is. Quote It's surely not the best way to communicate over large distances. And the "best way" would be? Curious. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
