Why humans plant things on animals or experimenting on them. And what are aliens who travelled across galaxies likely to learn from us ….and again for what reason….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowsfall Posted October 6, 2024 #28 Share Posted October 6, 2024 How are we going to study them and why do they need to study us…..my guess is they would be omnipotent compared to us…..they wouldn’t need to study us to know who ,why and what we are….in other words they wouldn’t need to visit….save on the fuel kinda thing……. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like we study other species if we can (here on earth). I am not quite sure how did you end up with them being omnipotent. You meant more advanced from us and that could be true especially if they are able to visit. But that doesn't imply unlimited power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What civilization do you think has unlimited sources of energy which can use efficienctly or is omnipotent as suggested. From a philosophical viewpoint only God is omnipotent (if you believe in God).

I don't find this argument against ET visitatipn very useful. Gregor Mendel learnt things from studying fruit flies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see type 4 civilizations to exist but on the other hand I can't dismiss anything. It's very unlikely that a civilization could harvest the energy of the entire universe because the entire universe isn't a planet or a star.

For all the hot air you spout conflating belief in UFOS being alien craft with a general belief in extraterrestrial life in the universe, you aren’t nearly as familiar with the theories on the possibilities of extraterrestrial civilizations as you want everyone here to think that you are. What a surprise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essan Posted October 9, 2024 #41 Share Posted October 9, 2024 Whilst I can understand that advanced aliens, capable of reaching Earth, might very well be interested in studying the primitive lifeforms on our planet - and even intervene to stop us destroying ourselves - I fail to see how they achieve that by playing tag with USAF fighter jets, flying around in formation with lights blazing, and occasionally crashing in remote areas (and why do they have no subsequent interest in recovering their aircraft and its occupants?). IMO if aliens are visiting Earth, we'd know about it in the same way termites in Brazil know they are being studied by satellite. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saru Posted October 9, 2024 #43 Share Posted October 9, 2024 Alien implants - as far as I know, nobody has ever produced a physical sample of an alleged alien implant that has ever stood up to scrutiny and testing. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That proves there is a conspiracy and that "they" take the implants away before anyone can analyse them. Much like "they" do with all of the crashed spacecraft, and, indeed, any data at all that might provide evidence of alien visitors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you and some others have commented in other threads , it normally comes down to an individual's belief on the subject. The scientific results are normally dismissed by the pro-ETH individuals. The reasons vary but normally, it is linked to conspiratorial items or from a standpoint of deliberate ignorance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this is something that Im truly interested in (the psychology behind this mindset) and I have read Shermers book and watched other stuff on this topic - Why people believe in weird things. (without corroborating evidence)... Im not talking religion here just the paranormal. I still dont get it, I wish someone could explain it to me... this strong belief in ghosts, bigfoot or alien visitation. Why are some people like this?

What a surprise. How did you come up to this conclusion? It's erroneous to start with. Can you not see what is the problem with civilizations being omnipotent and have unlimited power? How they will achieve this? Does anyone have a clue? Because there is a difference between being able to travel between stars and being omnipotent. UFOs and aliens are different in principle but they are related a lot. Even if you take look at the name of this forum it says Extraterrestrial Life and the UFO Phenomenon.

The Kardashev scale is about the level of technological achievement reached by each civilization which is related to how much energy it can capture and use. It doesn't say how they will do it which is the main point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
