“Alien life exists elsewhere. The odds are just too good.”

“But alien life visiting us? No. Impossible. It could never happen.”

Are scientists just retarded?.

“No you can’t come here. We’re off limits. No way no how. Cope.”

It’s fucking weird.

Do scientists not consider successor theories to our own limitations? Do they think our limitations are everyone else’s limitations?
>>
>>16869289
yes anon I'm sure all scientists are retarded and wrong and all scientists think the same way with no differences in opinions because they are collectively assigned a work title.
>>
>>16869289
>“No you can’t come here. We’re off limits. No way no how. Cope.”
who are you quoting?

>“But alien life visiting us? No. Impossible. It could never happen.”
it's extremely unlikely. it's like asking will a sand particle in south africa ever come in direct physical contact with one from norway.
>>
>>16869306
>who are you quoting
The entire scientific community when they pretend they aren’t waging a war or waging a challenge against the rest of the universe
>>
>>16869313
If you believe everyone is saying it then surely you can be specific and point out just one example of that being said no?
>>
>>16869306
> it's like asking will a sand particle in south africa ever come in direct physical contact with one from norway
And yet with the power of intelligence a human can hypothetically pick up one grain of sand (Norway) and another grain of sand (Africa) and rub them against one another in between their fingers

Try rubbing your two brain cells together some time
>>
>>16869315
Anon when you say aliens can’t come here you are effectively making a challenge to the rest of the universe

I’m not stupid enough to do that; it implies terror of the unknown - a form of cope
>>
>>16869306
If something acquired the capacity to bypass the relative speed/limit of light and go anywhere in space, they could very easily use math to chart for other stars and planets. If aliens had access to their own spacetime bubble they could absolutely travel to other spots in space for pure curiosity’s sake. If time is no longer an issue then why not?
>>
>>16869313
in other words: you're quoting no one and made up a strawman in your head to cry over. thanks for the confirmation.

>>16869316
in typical autist fashion the analogy went over your head and you focused on the literal meaning.

>>16869324
>If aliens had access to their own spacetime bubble they could absolutely travel to other spots in space for pure curiosity’s sake. If time is no longer an issue then why not?
i mean sure but right now we have no reason to believe otherwise.
>>
>>16869289
Its because they don't know. If scientists actually knew anything then they'd know the things they don't know but they don't know some things which proves they don't know anything.

We humans are incredibly dangerous.
Monkey beast apex predators who split the atom, while at the same time globally separating our sound financial system based upon the natural rarity of the universes stellar element evolution formation of The Creator and replacing it with Federal Reserve FIAT Slop goyim unbacked certificate paper golem trash.
All 200 fucking nations are speed running FIAT hyper inflation balanced out by mass warfare extinction.
Our leaders worship wealth and power above anything else.
Money is our world leaders Lord.

Coming here as an alien is suicidal at best, a risk for the rest of the entire galaxy at worst if greedy human slaver trash were to ever get its hands upon such technology.
The level of greed most of these fucking human vampires possess is beyond monumental

>>16869338
The analogy didn’t go over his head. He’s saying distance can be beaten. You’re in a state of coping panic right now. This refusal to believe we’ve been visited is indistinguishable from being afraid of demons or faeries.
>>
>>16869338
>i mean sure but right now we have no reason to believe otherwise
We have no reason to believe that there could be civilizations that have surpassed us? Keep parroting that “Humanity Fuck Yeah” perspective. Cringe.
>>
>>16869358
Oh look. More “Humanity Fuck Yeah”. It probably wouldn’t be hard for an alien to fuck with us anon.
>>
>>16869367
>He’s saying distance can be beaten.
maybe, maybe not. again, we have no reason to suspect it can be, at least not on a reasonable time scale. so until then, aliens contacting us is very very very unlikely given the vastness of the universe.

why does uncertainty upset so many people here?

>>16869369
>We have no reason to believe that there could be civilizations that have surpassed us?
never said that. jesus fucking christ, 95% of the replies i get on this site is shit you faggots make up in your head.
>>
>>16869386
> we have no reason to suspect it can be
The issue is you’re running under our already limited assumptions
>>
>>16869386
By claiming aliens can’t come here you’re effectively flexing the superior defenses of humanity - which in this case is just saying “physics will protect us! It would never allow visitors!” - to which I say “that’s indistinguishable from believing God will save you”.
>>
>>16869460
the universe is way too vast to worry about aliens contacting us.

>>16869462
>By claiming aliens can’t come here
never fucking said that. holy shit i can't deal with you mental midgets. at every fucking turn you're putting words in my mouth.
>>
>>16869289
>“Alien life exists elsewhere. The odds are just too good.”
The odds are unknowable for as long as we don't know how likely life is.

>“But alien life visiting us? No. Impossible. It could never happen.”
Nobody says this. But "look for explanations within established knowledge before going into wild conjecture" is just common sense.

>Do scientists not consider successor theories to our own limitations? Do they think our limitations are everyone else’s limitations?
What do you even mean by this?
>>
>>16869358
>Coming here as an alien is suicidal at best
Literally God came down here once. Even dressed like us and said shit like, "be nice", "have a free fish sammie", and "lighten up, it's just water!", and you know what?
We killed him.

we don't have technology to detect objects smaller than a few kilometers in diameter in our solar system.
>>
>>16869289
>“But alien life visiting us? No. Impossible. It could never happen.”
Name 10 scientists who have said so.
On the other hand, Fermi saw no sign of alient visits and considered it strange.

>>16869651
>we don't have technology to detect objects smaller than a few kilometers in diameter in our solar system.
This is wrong. Radars can detect golf ball sized objects in Earth orbit and that is still part of the solar system.

>>16869651
Alas, all those missed minivan-sized interstellar probes.
>>
>>16869289

Why are they killing the vagina mouth sluttions?
>>
>>16869324
if somebody has the tech to break the laws of physics as you know them what makes you think you could even detect their presence if they didn't want to?
what if aliens are here, but you can't see them, you can't touch them and you can't detect them in any way?
>>
>>16869651
Only inert space rocks. We could easily spot rockets being launched from all the way to Pluto. If any object in space was actually doing anything then it would be incredibly easy to notice. The issue with rocks is that they just aren't doing anything while aliens would be doing something which would make them easy to spot.
>>
>>16870036
Absolutely. They’d probably find it incredibly easy to hide extraordinary evidence to extraordinary claims.

Humans arrogantly think we’d be able to detect them if they didn’t want to be detected. They could be beyond all our senses staying within higher dimensions for all we bloody well know.

yet we get bested by metal tools, all it takes is for an alien to release a virus that makes humans engage in their deepest darkest desires, or overtake them with someone elses, it really is that easy human ego is unwarranted and i hope someone out there strikes it down like a whimpering ember
