The aliens that rule this galaxy keep civilizations without advanced space travel uncontacted to give them time to develop, and they define "advanced space travel capabilities" as the capacity to send an object farther than one light-day away from their planet.
Humanity is set to achieve this milestone on November 18th, 2026 with the Voyager 1, so we should expect the first contact to happen on November 19th
We need to be prepared guys. I recommend you start buying food provisions now

>one light day
Lucky we don't live on a planet with 1000 hour days.

what are you trying to say?

He's trying to say that a light day is a completely arbitrary unit of measurement made up by humans that alien civilizations wouldn't use.

>the capacity to send an object farther than one light-day away from their planet.
That's retarded. There's no air resistance in space so any civilization that's reached escape velocity can send an object however many lightyears away they want. It might just take a while. A better requirement would be reaching a minimum travel speed or discovering a specific technology or school of physics.

… or making it through the great filter.

hum sisters? you really think aliens don't know about our planet or how fast it spins? it's easier to spot our planet than a single probe in space you know? and even if they didn't know about our planet then it doesn't matter if the voyager goes farther than 1 light day, because they wouldn't know about us, so thinkint about it is useless

here, let me go and explain how all this works to the ants. But first, I'll make sure to use ant units. Being a human who is vastly more intelligent than an ant, I obviously know that ants use chemicals to measure distance

You have incredibly advanced AI at your fingertips, yet you still are so incredibly naive and retarded.

You are the reason aliens would never visit us.

>>43165157
So are you saying the aliens have a different standard for each species based on how long their day is? Some species on a planet that completes a rotation in 1 earth hour would get to join much easier than us and the opposite for a planet that rotates much slower. And what about a species on a planet that's tidally locked with the sun who don't even have the concept of a day? They're just fucked?

You are never ever leaving this enclosed plane alive you retarded golem. CGI is all you get in this life, which is more than you deserve anyway.

Earth has been contacted multiple times now.

>>43165429
Yeah they didn’t like what they saw and left

>>43165429
your mom has been contacted multiple times by the neighbour upstairs while your dad is at work

This.
A more natural unit of length would be halfway between this star and the next closest star which would be about 2 light years. While a natural unit even that's not constant. Some parts of the galaxy have stars barely a half light year apart, while other parts have stars 10 light years apart (on average).
They could use some multiple of the plank length or the electron shell of Hydrogen, or the diameter of a proton, but other than using base 2, which "multiple" would be the most "natural"?
They could also use the "heliopause" of the local system.

Or they could use the Sphere of Influence for star in the home system.
