The universe is gigantic, scientists estimate there are 10^31 planets in the observable universe alone.
That’s 1028104710481640173927104718491 planets.

So if something CAN exist, it does. Especially if the universe is infinite beyond the parts we can see.

This isn’t a troll or schizo thread, it’s a serious existential question, pretty much all the serious threats to humanity are in space and we would be fools to ignore them

If aliens were to arrive to the edge of our system with planet killing weapons, Iran would seem like a nothingburger suddenly. So what should we do about the extraterrestrial threat?

Stop trying to contact them and stay very quite. I fucking hate those retards trying to contact aliens because we have no real means of dealing with them if they showed up. The worse thing that could show up are imperialistic aliens because humanity would just become their thralls. Sure we have nukes, but if they could travel at faster than light speeds dealing with those would be trivial. It would be worse if they just viewed us as a blight occupying a nice planet and just cleansed us. Scientist have this deluded idea that if aliens were more advanced then us scientifically that they would be more moral than us, but technology and morality are not the same thing. They might just wipe us out for the sport of it. Scientist are retarded autistic fucks that like gambling with all of humanity because they like to masturbate their curiosity.

It depends on if the Higgs Boson is stable or metastable. If it's only metastable it could at any time collapse into a vaccum decay bubble which would expand at the speed of light. Inside this bubble mass would not exist as we know it, but we would all die before it reached us because as it endlessly expands a massive wall of super heated light would form at the edge as the light would never get consumed and so a lightyear thick wall would form and that would kill us.

If the Higgs Boson is stable the most terrifying thing is an actively expanding type 3 grabby civilization expanding towards us. They would crush us like ants.

Agreed it’s catastrophic we need to enforce a global ban on sending strong signals to space this shit might get us ALL killed
Just because some Star Trek watching idiot thought it was funny to beam a meme into space

>The worse thing that could show up are imperialistic aliens because humanity would just become their thralls.
Being against genocide is a very human notion it’s not universal at all. Do you know the server 2b2t ? Our universe is the same. No rules.

>Sure we have nukes, but if they could travel at faster than light speeds dealing with those would be trivial.
It’s impossible to know what technology and abilities they would have
If we have already discovered all scientific principles we might be able to destroy lone interstellar ships before they can mine our planets to build a larger fleet
But that’s a specific scenario only. Any advanced near magic weapon beyond modern science and were dead. Any ftl or teleportation and were dead. Even just them having a larger fleet than what we can produce and were dead

It’s physically possible for instance to create starships that can fly at half of lightspeed and have a laser beam like the Death Star. You could launch a giant laser station towards the solar system that could destroy any ships from the orbit of Pluto with a giant laser beam. That’s a scary type of weapon

Another terrifying weapon I’ve seen in a video is the idea of a simple large pocket of gas. Used as a lens. Like a magnifying glass onto ants

>Scientist have this deluded idea that if aliens were more advanced then us scientifically that they would be more moral than us
It’s a weird cognitive bias most people have
They instantly and automatically assume that being pacifier and universally benevolent is the maximum morality. But what if it’s the opposite? What it being completely genocidal was a more enlightened morality than kindness? It’s certainly something you can argue rationally. Look up the moriori tribe and maori tribe. Moriori were a pacifist people who would rather die than harm another human. Maori were genocidal cannibals. The Maori massacred the moriori who don’t exist anymore. So was their moral system really so enlightened? Or was the genocidal morality of the Maori more enlightened

>They might just wipe us out for the sport of it.
Oh yeah that’s my point. I expect that both gentle kind aliens and genocidal fanatics exist. But it means genocidal fanatic aliens do exist. Which is the issue

Aliens forcing us to reincarnate, thats the worst, subjecting us to suffering, old age and the almost endless things that provoke suffering and were not even talking about beings that exist as material creatures in this universe but more interdimensional beings that are totally fucked up in the head

>>530317303
I'm more worried about giant rocks than aliens to be honest.

As i grow older the more meteorite impacts and shit happen the more I realize just how chaotic the whole system actually is. A rock can just fall and end everything at a moments notice and there's literally nothing we could do.


But as far as aliens go There's so many ways it could go bad. From alien micro organisms, to toxic secretions, to poisonous atmospheres, and all of that doesn't even need any sort of malicious nature from the alien. Start putting intelligence, selfishness, narcissism, and a power dynamic into it and you can easily see how badly it could go.

Anyways if I was an intelligent species and I was space faring and I stumbled upon a species that was on the cusp of becoming space faring, but was also clearly violent, so much so that they still fought themselves, then i'd do everything i could to limit their ascension.

I wouldn't engage, I would not go near, but I would mine the shit out of their solar system and deprive them of the precursor materials necessary to become a galactic civilization, it would be non confrontational, easy, and there's nothing they'd be able to do about it.

If I had light speed drives, then I'd also have a weapon that would be undetectable, so if they did manage to get to a point where they could be a threat then a light speed bullet would evaporate their planet before they could ever get any warning.

>If the Higgs Boson is stable the most terrifying thing is an actively expanding type 3 grabby civilization expanding towards us. They would crush us like ants.
But if there is no FTL would combat strength be based on empire size or more local

If the answer is local then we could survive despite being smaller by becoming grabby aliens, with technological parity (achievable if there’s a limit to technology once you know everything there is to know) then we could survive

Also running away might be a solution of sorts

Either way I’m of the opinion humanity should become min maxing grabby aliens as fast as possible
It can’t harm us to be stronger at first contact

I don’t really believe about the meta stable field stuff,I’m not even convinced the Higgs boson actually exists and isn’t just a contrived made up thing by the people who want a model of reality as particles (Higgs boson being the the particle that creates mass)
There’s a lot of explanations for how mass (inertial and gravitational) could arise that are mathematically consistent with what we observe, and the Higgs theory doesn’t explain at all howHiggs bosons stay attached to other force carriers
It also implies it’s possible to remove the mass from any particle by removing their Higgs bosons. I have a lot of controversial opinions in physics, I tend to disagree with the particle/quantic interpretations (with good reasons), for a lot of it we just don’t know at all how it works given the current data and the models pushed range from pure contrivance that’s at best possible (not the only option) and at worse literally contain logical paradoxes and are as such proven to be false using proof by the absurd (example black holes and all the paradoxes they create.That’s hard evidence the math is wrong)
So I wouldn’t put too much faith in wild theories about non proven stuff built on theories that have holes and errors
The multi dimensional idea of inertial mass seems plausible
>>
>>530318377
>Star Trek
I always thought intergalactic governments were retarded. We struggle to get a global government and were all the same species there is no reason to assume that laws could exist that would be suitable for governing humans and aliens. Murder to aliens might be completely reasonable as every third alien is crazy violent. That or they could view their entire species as expendable because they are a hive mind.
>Being against genocide
We wipe out animals all the time. Genocide only applies to humans because we value human life. Aliens would have no reason to view us above apes.
>We have no way of knowing
I'd argue if they could reach us we would know they would have vastly superior technology. We can barely leave our planet let alone send a ship to different solar systems.
>>530318626
>pacifism vs genocide
Pacifism only works out when things aren't zero sum. If you live on a resource constrained environment extreme violence makes sense to monopolize those resources. Pacifism only works when you can have multiple winner or work towards a shared goal. We don't know the environment these aliens come from so we have no way of knowing the favored survival strategy.

In nature, the strongest wins. Humans have exterminated all their natural predators during the ice age, with sticks and stones no less.

There is likely a wide range where we will survive if we get our shit together fast but would die if we just stagnate and don’t make any attempt to survive through strength

We don’t lose anything by trying to get stronger fast, but it gives us extra possibilities at survival

Unless biblical creationism is real and we’re the only life form in the universe lol. If that’s not the case we live in the dark forest. If aliens exist bad ones do too

>and there are aliens with in 100Ly. About 100 Tons of Antimatter, each strapped to a sun sail, and pointed at earth is enough to kill us all. And a type 2 civilization could EASILY do it with about ~80 years of prep
Sun sails are bad, but some other propulsion might work (like boosted light sails but these would send signals from the giant laser)
Btw I love the idea of that one guy with 3 staged mirror to slow down by decoupling mirror slices

Anyways humanity doesn’t have good satellites right now it makes me feel unsafe, we couldn’t detect an alien fleet that was chilling around Neptune right now
Let alone at nearby stars
Let alone a tiny antimatter package hurdling towards earth with very little time to react since it’s going close to the speed of light

They are still possible to defend against, a KKV with enough acceleration and delta v to put some distance between it and earth would protect us, but need to be detected

Also there’s probably a lot of trash in interstellar space, small ice cubes etc that would be deadly to small packages moving near lightspeed.

Think about what you just wrote. That many planets and let's be real, how visible are we? Our radio signals have only progressed about as far as to reach Alpha Centauri. More than likely, no life exists in our solar neighborhood. With so many planets out there, we blend in so well that finding us would be like trying to find a particular grain of sand in all the beaches on earth. We are essentially sitting in "the boonies" and it's almost impossible to find us.
I believe in the dark forest theory. Anyone advanced enough to be easily seen and contacted due to them being travelers with obscene technology have already met "the big boss" and got borg'ed by something unimaginably unstoppable. We won't last long enough to be relevant to them.
Plus our planet is polluted by plastics and ridiculous amounts of space junk floating around outside of it. We're literally your hillbilly neighbors you pretend don't exist and wish would get evicted.
>>
>>530319116
>I'm more worried about giant rocks than aliens to be honest.
That’s something we can protect against
You really don’t need much energy to nudge an asteroid to make it miss earth slightly by the time it reaches us

To do that we would need a bit more telescope power, to really track constantly all bit rocks (mostly the case already today)
Then just have missions ready to go to push asteroids. A good idea for ice asteroids is just a nuclear thruster that can be fed ice or liquid from melted ice with the rock filtered out.
There’s also the asteroid redirect mission that was done successfully. We only have the ability to do that with small ones for now but it could be scaled up with enough motivation


>Anyways if I was an intelligent species and I was space faring and I stumbled upon a species that was on the cusp of becoming space faring, but was also clearly violent, so much so that they still fought themselves, then i'd do everything i could to limit their ascension.
What if we find aliens that kill species for fun
You can’t project what you would do on beings that aren’t like you at all
The friendly aliens are no need for concern because if they exist they won’t harm us so there’s no need to even think about the friendly ones

Isn’t the kinetic energy required to accelerate 10 tons near lightspeed already pretty comparable to 10 tons of antimatter? I’m pretty sure just a relativistic kinetic kill vehicle would be deadly enough

But that’s not an issue if we colonise the solar system, if we can survive without earth were no longer as vulnerable

Most likely though they would send warships that can adapt and hunt down survivors and not just an unguided super weapon
>>
>>530319963
nothing that couldn't be corrected.
>>
>>530320533
Yeah, but the easiest way would be to move space along with you instead of accelerating. You would remain still, essentially, while space moved around you. You wouldn't be limited by speeds. There are videos on youtube showing this and how it would look like. The problem is finding some star trek dilithium crystal type exotic matter that could power whatever machine you need to accomplish this with.
>>
>>530319510
>I'd argue if they could reach us we would know they would have vastly superior technology.
The argument here is the question of whether or not we’ve already found most of the laws of physics
It’s like futurama, when they discover the last scientific fact and all researchers are out of a job lol
If we’re close to that we would be at parity with all other species pretty soon. But we can’t know it there are laws of physics we don’t know about. That’s what I was saying

No it’s even worse it’s that + intelligent life is an existential threat to intelligent life
It’s not merely resources it’s also that genocide removed an existential threat forever and vastly increases your odds of survival.

You can have an alliance between two species, a Star Trek federation for centuries. Millennia. Maybe even a million year. But would the alliance be eternal? Irl alliance shift whenever a nation gets a new leader with new opinions and goals. So given infinite time there is basically a chance of 1 that species would eventually fight each other at some point in the future. Wiping them out when you can removed the possibility of a defeat forever

Sure a solar laser sent via a dyson swarm, or antimatter powered antimatter missles would be much better and more accurate. BUT triggering them would broadcast your location to the galaxy since it would outshine a star. One proposal I've seen would involve accelerating a beam to ionized particles to relativistic speeds so that they don't come apart and then beam them at a planet, it would basically do what we do to cancer cells on a planet wide scale and would be largely invisible unless it happened to pass though another life bearing system with a civilization. Also another thing that seems to show grabby aliens is right is the seeming total lack of dyson swarms, which despite being the ultimate form of power generation you can get without a black hole would be very detectable.

>I'm not really going to care what an alien is doing 4 billion light years away as I'm trying to feed my family on Earth
If FTL isn’t possible you’d maybe have 8 billion years to prepare before they reach us
So not an urgent problem but it will still happen it’s guaranteed, species expend over time

The worry is if the nearest dangerous aliens are much closer than billions of light years. Say hundreds or thousands of light years. Within our own galaxy

Or if FTL is possible. If either are true then we are on a timer to build up defenses before they arrive and wipe us out

Probably wouldn't be much fun if they're at the level of regularly finding other life, unless they're some sort of Predator type race that purposely gimps themselves for a mostly fair fight.

The worst thing found in the universe is the kikes.
>>
>>530317303
Us
So far from our understanding of physics and while not completely we are not completely off with our understanding we are about the worst you can get.
There basically is a range of planets having enough gravity to support an atmosphere of any sort and be able to create life and to be so heavy gravity makes conventional space travel and exploration and further understanding impossible.
Basically you go from to light so nothing can form to barely enough an atmosphere and life can form to life is possible but gravity is so high you can barely fly a plane or rocket which then goes to so heavy life is possible but it won't leave planet to life becomes impossible.
We are actually on the upper end of that, life can form but gravity is so high we can barely leave or planet.
Basically things on planets that support life, but have higher gravity would have to skip several steps in space exploration and understanding of the universe and go directly to something like anti gravity or so to leave their world and explore space.
>>
>>530320344
>how visible are we?
Very visible to things within our galaxy
We can’t see shit right now but we have like 1 3 meter wide telescope

Aliens could have much better telescopes of all kinds just by the scale of industry, and if they’re wise they would build such things to detect others before they are detected

It’s what the trisolarans do in the books, they are a high Darwinian fitness civilisation. Utterly totalitarian collectivists, 100% of the GDP is centrally planned and goes towards interplanetary warfare. And their first move is to turn their entire planet into detector arrays. Covering the entire planet in telescopes and turning off the lights. It’s a smart thing to do


>Our radio signals have only progressed about as far as to reach Alpha Centauri. More than likely, no life exists in our solar neighborhood.
Hopefully
Our telescopes are currently too small to see anything lf it was there

> With so many planets out there, we blend in so well that finding us would be like trying to find a particular grain of sand in all the beaches on earth. We are essentially sitting in "the boonies" and it's almost impossible to find us.

>>
>>530320819
I know that stuff I don’t really believe it would work
These configurations first of all cannot stop or start. It’s basically just saying "if you have a black hole in front of you and an.... anti black hole in front of you (they don’t exist) then you would be moving super fast!!!"
But you can’t ever stop the "ship" or start it again, you’d need to spawn into existence in this configuration to make it possible so it’s not usable as a ship
Also I am completely convinced general relativity is false, I’m not even fully convinced FTL is a true limit for everything, it could be more or of a conditional limit for most matter and energy. So very unlikely given what we know that we could ever move ftl but communications and weapons might be ftl. Not talking about entanglement or anything like that just straight up a signal that moves faster than light. Might be possible based on discoveries we haven’t made yet. Either way having the speed or light as a cosmic limit creates paradoxes si either it’s false either something else removed the paradoxes

Black holes create all these paradoxes in general relativity because they basically accelerate things faster than light in a model that can’t allow that. So it makes divisions by 0. Newtonian math doesn’t create any paradoxes with black holes since there is no speed limit
My take is that both Newtonian and Einsteinian physics are incorrect. Whi knows what is possible with the correct model.

>Our radio signals have only progressed about as far as to reach Alpha Centauri

What a fucking brainlet. First of all Radio signals travel at the speed of light, second of all Alpha Centauri is only about 4 light years away.

We've been broadcasting for over a 100 years. Sure the signal strength of the earliest broadcast would be weak and would fade with distance, but there were dedicated beamed messages that were sent out decades ago.

Anyways Radio isn't the only techno signature or even bio signature so even if they weren't listening that way doesn't mean they couldn't detect our planet in any other number of ways.


>>530320358
Tell me about how much time we had for omuamua or atlas, If we detected an interstellar rock, and we had lets be generous 1 year, to prepare we'd be able to do absolutely fuck all to stop it. Even if our entire economy was transformed into building starships.

Only the target location
Also would it? I feel like a lot of the light of explosion would be blocked by the mentor or the planet and the rest might not be such a time condensed peak. I’m not sure. If it’s more diffuse over time it would be less bright

>One proposal I've seen would involve accelerating a beam to ionized particles to relativistic speeds so that they don't come apart and then beam them at a planet, it would basically do what we do to cancer cells on a planet wide scale and would be largely invisible unless it happened to pass though another life bearing system with a civilization.
Yeah but again these are planet killing weapons. Only dangerous to aliens who rely on habitable planets. Full on habitat space born origin aliens don’t care they’re just chilling around Jupiter

>Also another thing that seems to show grabby aliens is right is the seeming total lack of dyson swarms, which despite being the ultimate form of power generation you can get without a black hole would be very detectable.
I don’t know how much the dark forest part of the dark forest part is true

The hiding part
Surely some aliens would be convinced they’re the top dogs, and others would have never made that connection and wouldn’t try to hide or be careless and you would see those

I find it completely impossible that there would be endless aliens yet all of them hide. No some would be total chumps and make 0 effort at hiding

Radio is light speed since it is a kind of light. The first broadcasts ever to escape the atmosphere were nazi speeches, using 1936, the generally accepted year they figured out how to do this we can be detected in an ever growing (but less exactly as we zoom out) 90Ly bubble.

One way I think we could prove dark forest is by creating a space telescope and pointing it at the general area where the WOW signal came from, if we detect a new star that suddenly appears and vanishes without a trace we just watched the omnicide of the species that sent the signal.

How frequent these are leads to how many we would expect to be and thus how close they are to us and how much time we have to prepare

It’s also a question of how much having a head start matters. The universe is billions of years old, it’s pretty sad if we stand no chance no matter what against billion year old aliens. Hopefully there’s a way to equalize the playing field within the laws of physics

>So what should we do about the extraterrestrial threat
Beg for mercy and hope they understand.
Assuming they have ill intent.
If they have the capability to travel the stars, regardless of how low their technology is compared to ours, they already hold the ultimate metaphorical high ground.
Even if they do not have weapons as such, they could easily wipe out all life on earth simply by nugeing a few asteroids our way. There would be fuck all we could do about it.
However, if their goal is NOT to wipe us out and perform some sort of colonization and their tech is not too far above ours, they would quickly regret it as we would treat them as any primitive race should have treated any colonizers back in the day.
Otherwise we could just wait a couple hundred years and call them racists and demand gibs.
At the end of the day though there is exactly only ONE resource on earth that cannot be obtained in abundance anywhere else in the universe, and that is humanity.
If they know about us, we're doomed.
If they are randomly drifting through space looking for a place to live and Earth fits the bill, we're doomed.
If they have tech we can overcome and they are utterly retarded in hopes of our good will, they're doomed.
Overall most likely scenario is that we are really and truly fucked if THEY choose we are.

There's so much in space that could literally destroy the planet at any moment. There could be a gamma ray burst, hurtling towards us from the other side of the universe, that would vaporize us all instantly. If an asteroid came barreling towards us, what can we even realistically do, besides count down our days? I'd rather worry about the existential threats I can control, I can fight against, such as niggers and kikes.

Oh you meant interstellar, sure that’s an issue

Though as far as we know no interstellar rock has ever hit earth, the asteroid that killed the dinosaur matches the energy of a asteroid belt one likely a Trojan

I know a lot about space stuff so here’s how you would catch an interstellar one:
>spam telescopes (a good idea in all scenarios, they detect aliens, habitable planets, weapons and fleets heading our war, alien probes to observe us, and asteroids)
>have a fleet of high delta v craft on standby, ideally 300 kilometers per second or more with enough thrust to have a burn time that only lasts months. That’s possible with ion engines and nuclear power so basically almost current tech just very optimized
>this would go towards it, crash into it if it can work, and if not slow down to match speed (if they fly in at higher speeds than the ship delta v it’s impossible, impacter would be the only option) then use thermal engines to melt ice into propellant. A tiny deviation in course is enough. If it’s made of rock not ice we’re fucked but if it was in interstellar space a long time it likely is at least covered in ice

That would be sufficient protection. My cost estimate is 800-4000 billions. Affordable today, not even a year or American GDP

lol
We don’t know how space warfare is waged

Maybe FTL exist in which case it would be proper fleets
Maybe it doesn’t and they use photoids
Maybe they use antimatter planet killers (I don’t see that as effective as it only destroys planet not asteroid bases)
Maybe they use the radiation ray thing
Maybe they send viruses or nanites
Maybe they send a big ship that builds factories locally and builds a fleet while defending the ourpozts using the target solar system
Maybe supreme weapons like Higgs collapse or dual vector foils exist
Or other stuff. It’s hard to say.

Civilisations might also just slowly expand outwards and not even attempt to strike down distant aliens. Just take systems one by one creeping slowly towards them and fight with heavy fleets that only have to move a single system

Supernova weapons are a possibility but I doubt it’s ever easy to do that. Like stars are BIG, I don’t see how you could easily explode one and I find it doubtful that the amount of energy and effort required couldn’t be better spent elsewhere

For the wow signal, are we sure it wasn’t like a random guy with a walkie talkie near the telescope?

We stopped transmitting a long time ago. For that very reason.
Contrary to popular belief, radio signals do not travel forever. At least not in any discernable form. At most anything fifty to a hundred light years from here might be able to pick up our signals AND determine they come from an intelligence not their own. After that, it's just static, having degraded to nothing. Like dropping a single drop of ink into a fountain.
Quite possibly our push to digital signals may have been motivated to mask our presence. We are quiet as a tomb now.
>What about the Voyager probes?
Irrelevant. Like trying to find a specific grain of sand on all the beaches of Earth. Or using one of those tiny Tabasco bottles to put a tiny message in, pushing it into the arctic ice and waiting for the current to take it somewhere else.
Plus, by the time any of them get even to the closest stars they would have been traveling for so long, they would become completely covered by space dust. Space is not empty. Millions of years collecting tiny bits of this and that would make the probes seem like any other random astroid. A small one at that, maybe the size of a bus by the time it reached anyone that might notice.
Maybe those weird asteroids zipping through the last few years were just that.
Some intelligent civilization sent our probes millions, tens hundreds even, years ago, long dead.
I do not believe we are alone, at all, however our neighbors are so far away, both is space, and time and so utterly unaware of us, we may as well be.

Yes and that’s why I’m worried
But there’s still a range of alien strength where we would survive by building up now where we would die by being passive and not growing in strength. So eternal exponential industrial growth should be pursued and expand outwards beyond the earth. As well as tech

>Even if they do not have weapons as such, they could easily wipe out all life on earth simply by nugeing a few asteroids our way. There would be fuck all we could do about it.
It depends on their asset vs ours. We could pueb aside asteroids. If they have op weapons protecting these asteroid it would be an issue
Also we can expand beyond earth. Again we don’t need earth to exist if we can live without it, which makes us less vulnerable. It seems destroying a planet is easier than hunting down many spaceships strewn everywhere


>However, if their goal is NOT to wipe us out and perform some sort of colonization and their tech is not too far above ours, they would quickly regret it as we would treat them as any primitive race should have treated any colonizers back in the day.

>If they know about us, we're doomed.
Likely
We need a global ban on space signals urgently
We should push this idea in popular culture then have a movement that asks world leader to sign a pact (many similar laws exist) banning strong signal sources
Military radars are the biggest issue for enforcing it

One totally retarded stuff that should be banned is active radar telescopy
It’s the HORRIFYING practice of sending such strong radar signals towards Venus that we can read the echo to map the terrain. It’s something that we have already done that’s happens right now

> So what should we do about the extraterrestrial threat?

The redpill is the “aliens” aka ancient space aryans are the good guys. At the end of the dark ages or in Indo-Aryan relgion “The Kali Yuga” the space aryans do a “rapture” savings those worth saving while dousing the rest of the world in flame, Kalki in Indo-Aryan relgion is described as doing the same with his fire sword.
(to me this myth is ancient human memory retained from a previous cycle by survivors.)

To elaborate we are simply a crop that were put here long ago by the space aryans, for the purpose of harvesting the best of us for our genes. They seed other planets with it, also our genes are used for their ruling class inserted into descendant of their rulers. The chosen’s (not Jews, but people that were raptured or saved) genes contain elements such as “struggle against evil” that serve space Aryan evolutionary interests. The “evil” is the role Jews play in this farming operation, they were put here to guide our evolution this way.

Our knowledge of genes is limited, contrary to the science, genes are very fluid and are in a constant state of change. Everything affects them from experiences, feelings, food, the planets, EVERYTHING! The elites of the space aryans require these prized genes shaped by our struggle in order to keep their civilization from collapsing, without these genes the leader class would become incompetent as is the case with all prosperous societies, no struggle = weak men = collapse. They need a fresh supply every so often because over generations these genes dilute and so with it the code that helps to program a proper leader as well.

Of course a proper leader must also be raised correctly also, the space aryans have a very complexed system in place to ensure all of the most important leaders are brought up to be Godly strong spirited individuals, the likes of Hitler.

Leadership is everything. Few understand besides the space aryans.

Not sure if that’s true given sufficiently large detectors
At some point interferometry would be able to tell appart signals from noise (radio telescopes on different sides of a galaxy)

We have no idea how close our nearest neighbors are because we can’t see anything, so don’t you agree it would be a very good idea to spam telescopes as to be able to detect detectable things for a long distance around us? It is the obvious first step to focus on

While true, thats only true if we have years of advanced notice. They could conceivably throw dozens at us from the belt arriving in a few months. No way we could stop even one, much less multiple.
Gravity tractors, thermal paint, outgassing. All those require a lot of time to work, and even just one mission would be extremely resource intensive. Even if we could do it in say a month or two, no way we could do it multiple times a month.

Yeah. Infinitesimal chances do happen. We are that, meaning we probably burned the universe's luck in a larger-than-observable-universe radius.
The Fermi paradox was made around the old assumption that Earth was an average planet in an average Solar system.

New data show it's not. Earth isn't even an outlier, not even a circus-freak-tier monstrosity, it's a fucking bad statistical joke. If the events that lead to Earth are necessary for life (and they probably are) then the amount of planets around is irrelevant: you will still get less than 1 living planet per observable-universe-sized pocket.

Earth is:
>two planets that smashed into each other (Gaia and Theia)
>this is why Earth as a near double-sized core, ensuring a fat magnetic field to protect against radiations
>this is why Earth as a fat-ass moon, ensuring stable axis and a large meteorite shield
>planet that form in the zone Earth is have their water fucked away and are dry as fuck, Theia was from the outer solar system and is responsible for nearly all our water
>we are carbon lifeforms (no silicium ones wont happen), Theia is also reponsible for Earth having way more carbon than it should

Solar system:
>having the giant planet away from the center and acting as a large meteorite shield while leaving the habitable zone to rock planet is abnormal
>simulation show we used to have one more that got unstable and pushed everyone in the current ideal configuration on its way out

Still, by the time anyone close enough to matter could detect that, it would seem either a natural spacial phenomenon or just noise indescribable from all the other noise.
Heh, I just had a thought.
Maybe "static" isn't the remnants of the bigbang but it's all the electrical slop generated by millions of intelligent species over billions of years just messing up the place.
The only real way we could be discovered or discover another species would be through spectral analysis. Even then, that depends on our and their understanding of life and what markers would need to be present to support such life. Even then we and they wouldn't be absolutely certain until a closer inspection could be made for signs of civilization.
On a somewhat related note, I'll be going to an actual theatre for the first time in almost a decade to see Project Hail Mary on the 23rd.

yes but it is also very young. the conditions to create our solar system arose very soon after the big bang, relative to the projected lifespan of the universe so my obtuse but truthful answer is: nothing

now consider if aliens got the same head start as us, at best they'd be on the same footing + or - a couple billion years
further affronts to entropy (that's what we and our environment are, an offensively improbable, increasingly-organized collection of matter) can theoretically design even MORE improbably organized affronts to entropy
in other words, barring some Great Filter, we've barely gotten started in the game of how much the universe can reverse its own entropy by thinking and manipulating spacetime

Heavy object passing by the solar system could fuck up our orbit and we would all freeze. Unlikely. More likely than aliens. Most likely issue would just be a big asteroid, would be hard to stop if big enough.

If the speed of light can't be beaten (no warp and wirmholes drives that depend on exotic matter), the bearest other solar system is four light years away (minimum travel time). We are confined by the speed of light more than anything else. That is the worst part of space.

And the nearest other solar system sucks. There is a planet, but it is gravitationally locked (same side always faces sun) and it's a flare star (likes to create violent solar storms, like most or all red dwarfs).

>While true, thats only true if we have years of advanced notice.
That’s why in this thread I advocate for getting our shit together as a species= having millions of tons of ships with good engines around the solar system and a lot of space industry
Today we couldn’t do much it’s a matter of the size of their forces vs ours.
If a species only sends a tiny weapon, be it a colony ship, something that pushes asteroids or a warship, it might be possible to defeat it because they could only send something very small at lightspeed compared to their industrial ability while we don’t have to worry about extreme speeds just intercepting to package

The type of attack you propose is a low sophistication attack, it’s likely they can do much more dangerous stuff if they have the ability to make interstellar ships. Just crashing one into a planet would represent similar levels or energy to an asteroid pushed into earth and would be far harder to stop
>They could conceivably throw dozens at us from the belt arriving in a few months. No way we could stop even one, much less multiple.
Today no but it would be fairly easy to do
The larger issue is if they go for slow speed attacks like this (decelerating at our system ) they likely would have military assets to protect their asteroids

The most practical ways is to crash into the asteroids (cracking them at range is likely good enough to make all fragments miss) and the other option is docking with engines using the asteroids as reaction mass KSP style. That’s impossible to do if they dock a giant death ray on the asteroid and we can’t destroy all the weapons and ships they have protecting these asteroids in time.

Oh...you sweet summer child.
Niggers anon...Niggers prevent that.
Niggers are our great barrier and we have yet to cross it. As of right now, humanity is doomed, regardless if little green men want to eat us.
The path we are on right now will ensure that humanity dies on this rock.
Specifically I should say our suicidal empathy is the great barrier. Niggers are merely the anvil humanity is beaten upon to ensure our demise.
Our best bet would be to build a few generational ark ships and leave all the niggers behind.
It would have to be in secret so as they don't know about it.
However something tells me that it is already too late anyway. There seems to be a general sense of malaise permeating humanity right now. One that can only be explained by some dire known event soon to occur, and to keep the peace and forestall any massive panic, it is being kept from the general population.
I recommend simply not worrying about it. As stated earlier... nothing we can do, and certainly nothing you personally can do, regardless of the scenario.

>>530326752
fun fact, due to everything drifting away from us, the night sky will be empty of everything but the milky way in 100 billion to 150 billion years. if we forget about the stars at that point we'll never find them again. at the end they will only be visible through telescopes, and then not at all. a sentient species that develops in the future will have a hard time figuring out even the basics like parallax and orbital mechanics.

I’d say aliens that are "a couple billion years younger than us" are cause for concern
>further affronts to entropy (that's what we and our environment are, an offensively improbable, increasingly-organized collection of matter) can theoretically design even MORE improbably organized affronts to entropy
I think information theory is dumb but if we step away from the broken autism and just define a notion of matter being put in a coherent state (like going from a rock to a piece of a machine that talks to a. Machine hive mind) then sure
>in other words, barring some Great Filter, we've barely gotten started in the game of how much the universe can reverse its own entropy by thinking and manipulating spacetime
Ok but that’s not a very practical concern it’s more losing yourself in ideas
A practical concern is "are space chuds going to show up tomorrow and push in our shit, and what can we do to maximize our odds of survival given all potential futures and threats"

We don’t know how many small black holes there are because we can’t see shit because we don’t have any telescopes

Yes but both these issues can be sidestepped entirely if we learn to life without the earth. Full on space existence, something I advocate for.

>If the speed of light can't be beaten (no warp and wirmholes drives that depend on exotic matter), the bearest other solar system is four light years away (minimum travel time). We are confined by the speed of light more than anything else. That is the worst part of space.

>they cant be any closer than about 4.5 light years.
Well duh lol
It’s absurdly improbably that scenario is kinda below my expectations even in the worst case scenario, sci fi loves putting aliens at alpha Centauri but we would probably detect aliens if there were this many

>With relativistic sub light engines, it would take roughly 80 years to get there, or them here. We would certainly see them coming unless extremely advanced or novel propulsion of some sort.
I am confident we are so fucking blind observation ability wise that it’s not a guaranteed
Even low tech low sophistication warfare, basic reaction engines and sunlight warships and mining, we would have difficulty spotting. We do NOT scan all the sky constantly, let alone have very high resolution sensitive telescopes in all directions at once
A short burn might be missed or it might not have enough relative luminance to be detectable

>They would light up the night sky putting on the brakes.
If they do it far away that’s the inverse square law and we have very very shit detectors

And we don’t know when they would have departed so it’s not really a useful thought experiment, they could have been heading here from far before we sent signals to space for any number of reasons

The time to first contact is truly impossible to predict, your example is just one scenario of first contact, it could be before or billions of years from now
My argument is that no matter when it is we don’t lose anything by building up fast and getting ready to face a storm that will hopefully never come

>>530326990
Yeah but that argument doesn’t work too well when we’re being hunted by a non lazy intelligent species
We probably could wipe our mosquitoes if we methodically went grid square by grid square looking under every branch and lead with lasers assistance
Aliens don’t need to do that they just need to destroy or cripple the earth which is pretty easy and hunt down a few stragglers in space. That’s WAY easier than removing cockroaches or mosquitoes

Even without planet killing weapons you could just park a fleet in high earth orbit, bomb every launch site and industry humanity has, and build up weapons in space until they can move on to depopulation bombing then ground assault to finish us off

Im not too worried about idiocracification and the browns. Intellectuals will notice this is an issue and enact plans for global eugenism. Me included. 5-10 big brained people can defeat 5-10 billion nigs
Technology too is a solution, right now natural selection and women are destroying the species, but artificial wombs and gene editing changes that fully. If you can mass produce 200 IQ primarchs like you produce soda cans, nigs become a past tense problem. Counties like China and Israel might do it soon
South Korea already tried human cloning, the tech was bs but culturally they don’t have an issue. It was backed by the state for repopulation of Korea so they literally planned to make millions of clones already backed then and it was officially supported by the state apparatus

>>530327324
Only 150 billions? Way shorter then I expected
I wonder how this space expansion thing works for space travel
As I mentioned already I’m convince general relativity is false but it’s not like I have a proven alternative math
The fact things are drifting away from us faster than light is one of the reason I’m convinced it’s bs
But the unanswered question is if it’s possible to reach these places within the laws of the universe (and not current incorrect understanding)
If we can’t do ftl can we reach places moving from us FTL? If it’s spatial expansion as the current theory states I feel like maybe it’s possible

And if the light limit is just false then we can also go faster than light directly and in both cases we can catch up
We cannot catch up if light limit is true and if space expansion is so local that you can’t escape it’s effect even when moving across space

This exact line of thinking was in three bodybproblem idk if it’s your inspiration
In the Chinese tencent series, the cool cop character tries to cheer up the scientists after they realise aliens have disabled all human particle colliders and they can’t unfuck them (=no particle physics = no advanced weapons) and so they’re convinced humanity is gonna die and there’s no hope
So the fool cop has a heroic speech about how humanity will be like locust and how even though we don’t have tech well survive by surviving like cockroaches, it’s the feel good moment at the end of the series /first Tencent season
Well Long story short he’s wrong lol, many aliens have solar system killing weapons and humans only survive due to plot armor so there could continue to be characters observing the universe lol

>even the french, you guys colonized some of the scariest parts of canada. can an alien pursue every last human in the yukon or appalachia without scorching the whole planet?
Yes
>not one that finds our planet useful as is. how the fuck are they going to take iran?
Total drone spam
Orbital satellites that detect every movement or even putting security cameras every 5 meter accros the entire planet is fully possible and even trivial

>I'd give humans really good odds of fighting an insurgency until they get fed up.

think about this, los angeles county spends some part of its $843 million homelessness strategy budget on an annual "Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count"

Sort the list by distance at detection

Gravitational lensing sure but I don’t think humanity even had a constantly scanning high res telescope that maps the entire sky with enough precision to see something like this
Your technique sounds like something only a telescope with a narrow field of vision could do by pointing in the same direction with long exposure in hopes of finding one. Either way we need way more telescopes. Like a thousand times more

Clear web. I have many devices that I use for the clear web that have no information on me aside from location. Been using PB for decades now never an issue. I used a cellphone to get the book, read it before bed. Honestly could have kept reading it all the way through but had to get up early.
Its not fantasy sci-fi... Like Star wars, but it is about as hard sci fi as star trek. r*ddit types will tell you its hard sci fi, but they're idiots. Doesn't take away from the enjoyment though, and really you have to be super pedantic and highly scientific to let the few foibles in the story ruin it for you.
I just really enjoyed the book, and the trailers ive seen seem fairly close to how I pictured it, for the most part. Honestly I think subconsciously I want the movie to totally fuck it up so I can be an insufferable prick to anyone that likes it lol. Who knows, maybe it will be very good and I'll have a great time. Not like I have anything else to do.

Once a species becomes too advanced to go extinct, this stops being the case.

>As I mentioned already I’m convince general relativity is false
kek I have a similar heuristic
einstein proved newton was a retarded little baby (to be fair to newton, he was aware of this, pic related)
eventually someone will do the same to einstein and in many ways we already have
why would we be correct about the projected age of the universe? it's more likely at this point we are incorrect. but a good bayesian can entertain the possibility of something being partially true for practical purposes. general relativity is about 85% true for anything I would use it for.
>The fact things are drifting away from us faster than light is one of the reason I’m convinced it’s bs
is that so? I learned all this a decade ago now.
>If we can’t do ftl can we reach places moving from us FTL?
as you said, "maybe"
we can't bend spacetime, until we can
or any of many solutions beyond my imagination
what seems most likely to me is that matter is a delusion unique to our ape brains
tangibility is an illusion to keep us sane, inextricable from our organizational state.
reality is an equation

Technically possible = some are doing it in such a vast universe
Totally impossible would be great it would mean we were safe but sadly even proven basic technology can allow for interstellar travel given enough time

I am an unhinged tryhard
I really like that time Alexander the Great built a giant land bridge to a fortress island or the romans doing the same to a hill fortress by building a literal artificial mountain with shovels while being shot at just so they could kiII jews
Any task can be completed by tryhaeding hard enough
You could cover the entire planet in mosquito killing lasers for instance that would be what, a few tens of billions of units? 300 billion cost? Doable with sufficient willpower

Also I know there’s like a super nasty species of parasitic fly that Americans tried to exterminate and succeeded back just after WW2, but then Hispanics ruined everything and instead of the species being wiped out fully they were just wiped out from North America with a never ending blocade at panama. They breed billions of infertile flies that fuck the wild ones without producing babies and it works to drive their numbers to literally 0
So maybe that approach could work with mosquitoes
Anyways aliens would likely have many millennia and her willpower to wipe our humans it’s far easier (were bigger and need more resources to survive than small insects) and were an existential threat vs insectoid pest that is just a nuisance

I haven’t studied Vietnam enough
https://youtube.com/watch?v=HIGECcZZDHk

I’m not sure if this video/Chanel is AI or not
(It’s that bad already hey?)
But if it’s made by a very butthurt Aussie and real information it shows Americans were extremely sloppy and the opposite of tryhard minmaxers back in Vietnam
Compared to the Aussie special forces that tried to get every minute advantage and apparently had a KD of 500 to 1
Either way the entire military apparatus minmaxing everything to this extend would create an easy victory. In war you win by not leaving any possibility to win for the opponent open. You make all ways to defeat you impossible. Patch every single vulnerability every single blindsight. That’s how you win
America had industrial manpower troop motivation and moral vulnerabilities


The objective also needs to be decided. Many wars have been won by psychology alone, Cesar (conquered Gaul without a battle just convinced them to join rome, vercingerorix was after they had already joined willingly), Alexander conquests, mongol conquests (surrender or get massacred like that other city next to you) or the unification of Italy (perfidious anglos lying about an Italian guy winning battle after battle until he had so much aura everyone surrendered instantly, he never fought)

You need to set up the scope

For the emu war I think it was 2 maxhineguns
So insufficient assets

Setting up a system of for instance snipers paid per emu killed and having outposts like firewatch stations but for emu killers maintained over years would have been my approach
The approach they chose would have worked if they aimed better/had better guns + had a lot more

Likely cluster bomb artillery would have worked better I’m pretty sure they make herds

once our species grew to that point, we started selecting for high-functioning psychopaths to serve in government and corporate leadership roles.
you could argue that this was a mistake, growing our society to a point where we no longer control our own destinies and outsource it to psychopaths instead (see Ted K.)
but I believe it demonstrates the survival of the fittest in action
perhaps the west has experienced moral decay. perhaps our values will be subsumed by different values that pay more dividends in survival and life quality instead of just human biomassmaxxing like its 1750.

>We have no idea how close our nearest neighbors are because we can’t see anything, so don’t you agree it would be a very good idea to spam telescopes as to be able to detect detectable things for a long distance around us?
Just because we cannot detect anything doesn't mean they do not exist. It is very likely Mars currently has life. Samples have been collected but it will likely be over a decades before we can pick then up and fly back to earth and analyze. If 2 planets in a solar system contain life then it is very likely that life is very common. Some of the old Soviet pictures from venus contain photos of things that seem to hint at life and those images are over 40 years old. If that is true then 3 planets have life if Mars also has life so then life is widely abundant.
The question is if any has become intelligent to the point they have started to change their landscape or achieve space travel.
I think the real key is at what point does chemistry become biology. And if that can be detected on planets to then be able to more accurately search for intelligent life.

To be fair, A 100 ly bubble is about 10 000 of our closest stars. And the 100 ly's is the approximate time the signals could travel. I vaguely remember that with our current most sensitive tech we could detect our most powerful omni directional signal from 200 lys away. but I can't back that source up its only a vague recollection. A more advanced technology might be way more sensitive but the square cube law does mean that eventually the signal will fade away.

Yes, distant galaxies straight up move away relative us several times faster than the speed of light

Their come hand wave explanation is that "achually there’s two spatial coordinates, space and a second layer space is on, and you don’t go faster than light on space space is just expanding on this second layer"
But there is absolutely 0 proof of that, all observations are consistent with just the galaxies moving from us faster than light in space, without space itself expanding, it’s just something they invented with no evidence to salvage the theory they based their careers around it’s pretty fucked up
The speed measurement is redshift so some have had the idea that maybe something other than speed causes the redshift which is definitely maybe possible

Intra solar panspermia is definitely possible
More interesting if it’s in the oceans of one of the several ice moons with oceans we have

Either way what matters is again intelligent life. If life is everywhere but intelligent life is still rare it doesn’t really matter how many plants worms fish and bacteria are everywhere. So long as it can’t make deadly space weapons it’s not really a concern

>Some of the old Soviet pictures from venus contain photos of things that seem to hint at life and those images are over 40 years old. If that is true then 3 planets have life if Mars also has life so then life is widely abundant.

Yeah but I’m worried about species that turn entire solar systems into radar detector arrays instead of dyson swarms
We absolutely need a global ban on sending signals to space

All nuke tests should be performed underground, all space telescopes that emit radio waves should be permanently disabled and their emitters dismantled, and militaries should be incentivized to use radars that spew less radiation into space through devil in the detail type optimisation and mutual treaties and even bribes

>we forced japan to industrialize then they invaded half of asia.
They contained communism in China then America destroyed them and cried when Soviets + Chinese collies took over China

And Japan was pushed to hostile relationships with America from oil embargo and other embargo’s other "hUmAnITarIan ConCeRns" over all the rape Japan was doing probably
Japan then being insane just declared war on everyone they’re mildly hostile to
No actually scrap that they went to war with everyone near them, no exception except Thailand which was still very far from Japan, likely would have turned on them later

And also Kissinger for no reason made China super strong through American aid and the result is they’re still close allies of Russia today but now have way more industry than America
WTF did he mean by this ?

>>530333275
The best way to fight aliens is literally the standard industrial production
Getting better technology and industrializing space. It’s what we’re going to do anyways, the existence of aliens just add a bit of urgency to the process
Then there’s very basic stuff that costs us nothing we can do today like a global treaty to ban detectable signals sent into space or building more space telescopes for early warning and protection. Those things would cost us 0.0001% of global gdp not even an exaggeration but would make us a fair bit safer from extra terrestrial threats
>>
>>530333858
>the standard industrial production

no signals towards space + more industry + space industry + better technology + space telescopes
Is how you fight aliens

Speaking of wars and psychology, Alexander conquered some Phoenician cities, that he was besieging, the following way
They wanted to see the resolve of the invading army before committing themselves to either surrender or resistance, and so Alexander somehow despite just becoming king and not having been there for a long time ordered his men to jump off the cliff to their death, which they did
After like 4 in a row the city defenders were like "ok fuck that" and immediately surrendered lmao
The only other example in history where I know of a commander being able to order their men to lull themselves as a flex is the leader of the assassin order (I think Turk occupied Iran and drugged you religions Iranians who assassinzted turkish officials until none were willing to replace them which worked and ended the occupation) and a story where in the same manner he ordered his drugged our cult member to jump off the cliff to impress guests to his hideout
Japanese kamikaze was more peer pressured into it and not fully willing, with heavy consequences if they refused for them and their family

But you compare the resolve of let’s say American troops today and the soldiers of Alexander who are literally willing to jump off cliffs if ordered and you can see why an empire is defeated and runs away while the other conquered the known world

to be fair this is naturally the case. I've always been a fan of the F35, but to me the reason why I always thought it was the premier plane of the future wasn't because of its radar, or stealth, performance or bomb load, but because of its passive sensor system that could detect and mark enemy radio emissions without needing to expose itself with its own wide area radar.

Its like evolving the eye when everything else is still navigating by touch.

It’s closer to evolving ear when everyone else navigates by echolocation
It’s a bit more natural with sonar, passive sonar is very simple you just listen to sounds
Active sonar is more advanced and it’s the equivalent for radar

Anyways the ground radars still blast their wave upwards towards the sky and into space

And then there’s that fucking thing
Apparently was heard louder than all other local radio sources in the middle of flyover states America
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duga_radar
You mix that with giant passive radar telescope arrays and suddenly we’re very detectable

This is the story today

> The king, approaching the battlements above the invading army, agreed to hear Alexander’s demands.
>“Surrender to me immediately,” commanded Alexander.
>The king laughed. “Why should I surrender to you?” he called down. “We have you far outnumbered. You are no threat to us!”
>Alexander was ready to answer the challenge. “Allow me to demonstrate why you should surrender,” he replied. Alexander ordered his men to line up single file and start marching. He marched them straight toward a sheer cliff that dropped hundreds of feet to rocks below.
>The king and his soldiers watched in shocked disbelief as, one by one, Alexander’s soldiers marched without hesitation right off the cliff to their deaths. After ten soldiers had died, Alexander ordered the rest of his men to stop and to return to his side.
>The king and his soldiers surrendered on the spot to Alexander the Great.

Hard to say what part of it is real if it is real or what parts were modified from what really happened

It’s pretty surprising how few nations throughout history have employed spies going deep undercover to either take control of enemy nations or become generals there or just get close to a key person and stab them
It would be a powerful ability

Now less so because assassinzrions can be done without risking lives with tech, while controlled opposition is still powerful but I guess loyalty hasn’t been solved especially if they spend a long time away

I heard both the CIA and KGB mostly gave up on very long missions because in like 90% or the time their spy would just switch side after spending like 15 years living with the enemy

One exception is the Jews who sent hundreds or thousands of spies to pretend to be Arabs and marry Arab women just to act as sleeper agents and apparently those stayed loyal

I'll bite.
Let's say the universe is infinite.
Then everything that can happen, has happened and is happening an infinite number of times.
However, that doesn't reduce the distance between star systems.
In example, if the closest planet with intelligent life is 1000 light years away, the universe being infinite won't change that fact.
Let me explain with an allegory
>There's a dick eating fish in the ocean
>A single one
>You take a piss in the ocean at a random place with water above your waist
>What are the odds you will get your dick chopped off by that fish
Now, imagine the ocean is infinite and for every earth worth of water, there's one more fish like that.
I honestly wouldn't really be scared.

Correct it gives average distances

Hard disagree
People didn’t know other planets and stars existed for most of history (stars in the night sky were not understood to be the same thing as our sun, a guy who made that claim was burned alive in Renaissance Europe for saying so, Bruno)
So for all of human history no one was thinking about aliens and they didn’t even have the concept in their culture
Yet people did just fine without being motivated by a desire to go talk to aliens.

If were alone were safe forever (minus AI uprising). It would be great. Nothing at all to worry about, and it’s no more existentially depressing than the norm for all or human history until the invention of the telescope.

Meanwhile if aliens exist it means genocidal aliens exist and likely an infinite number of them so it’s far worse to not be alone

Plus you have the Dune route, of humanity evolve by and over time turning into basically aliens for separate populations

The main impetus for genocide between aliens is eliminating threats

Doubly so because of how fast technology progresses. We from from the Iron Age 200 years ago and not even knowing what chemistry was to nukes stealth aircraft digitalized brains ai bio engineering etc etc

So if you leave a species of primitives alone they might develop very advanced tech very quickly. Which species wins in the long run isn’t guaranteed. While if you wipe out the aliens they will never be strong enough to wipe you out much later since they will be dead

There are greys out there who hunt dragons. They sell their blood, there's no more valuable commodity. They look just like the stereotypically imagined aliens with thin bodies and big black eyes, but they have the teeth of lions. There are serpents out there who have evolved legs and keep human slaves whose lower leg they chop off because it's simply an efficient way to stay wealthy and thus survive. There are a people who orbit a red sun who evolved from big cats and have entire cities built of pure gold. There are a people from beyond the observable universe who watch us, and every time life is destroyed on a planet like this they send a robot there via teleportation to re-seed it. There are planets so beautiful that one inhalation of their air would move you to tears immediately, and then there are a species no taller than six inches who have technology you can't imagine who do nothing but harvest the blood and metal of a civilisation that's about to destroy itself. There's a planet not much bigger than earth with hardly any land, just two big australia sized islands, the humanoid inhabitants of it have one big eye and one small, they close the big eye whenever there's a sandstorm, all they do is dance around in a circle and birds drop them fish to eat so that they can shit and turn the land green. There are people who build planets, people who build stars, people who make planets like ours livable by killing dinosaurs with bows and arrows. Scizophrenia is awesome. Have a nice day.

Humans are most likely the freakishly strong space nigger monsters that are capable of tearing other races apart limb from limb. Life from planets with lower gravity than Earth will be scrawny bitches. Life from planets with higher gravity than Earth will be stronger, but Earth is pretty close to the limit where you can still escape the gravity well to enter space. Much higher and you either launch with enough G's to kill everything onboard or you never figure out how to safely launch and give up on your space program dreams.

There is an ayylmao encounter where a woman reported a group of little grey men in her home. She said they were using some kind of mind control device on her to freeze her in place while they approached her, then either it malfunctioned or she resisted it. She regained control of herself, attacked them and effortlessly broke one's neck. The rest seemed startled, then they picked up their dead buddy and portaled out of there. If some regular woman can do that as a fear response, imagine what trained male soldiers could do to these fuckers.

If a alien race has the technology to travel the universe it means they have technology to travel faster than the speed of light because at such speed the closest star next to our sun is 40 light years aways. That means travelling at the speed of light it would take 40 years for us to arrive to the closes solar system.

The universe is so incomprehensible big that travelling at the speed of light is like trying to walk through the entire planet.
If aliens that travel to our planet have such technology then there's nothing they could possibly gain from us, it would be like running into a ant pit and you either choose to give them a few crumbs of food or flood their colony with your pee, you won't gain anything from that because your are so far beyond the needs and understanding of ants there's nothing you could possibly gain from them so what an alien race capable of interestellar travel would do to use is entirely up to chance.
They could bless us with a couple millennia worth of progress in a day or send us back to the caveman age just for the shits and giggles.
