paranoid randroid posted:first contact would be like some green dudes with antennae landing in Nebraska, taking off their designer sunglasses, going "Good lord, Reginald, how provincial. Do they even have a Glartsby and Hrmnmnrn's boutique? Oh, sod this, let's just vacation on Plantifex 3 again this year." and then leaving First contact would be like something completely unrecognizable to us stealing the sun.

"We know that aliens aren't real because we've never seen evidence of a Dyson sphere around a sun and we know for a fact that the end point of all planetary civilizations is a Dyson Sphere" - a thing a Fermi Paradox adherent actually said to me once.

Thump! posted:And also because we'd shoot them the instant they appeared. I wouldn't talk to us either given the sheer amount of media we produce about shooting aliens and given that aliens wouldn't have the cultural context to comprehend them into, as well as not having human intelligence, any cursory analysis of our output comes to a quite justifiable conclusion that humans are genocidally violent

Guy Goodbody posted:Travel around and colonize? Reality isn't Star Trek. The closest star to us is Alpha Centauri. It's four light years away. If we had the ability to make a space ship that could travel at half light speed, which be the greatest engineering feat ever, it would take eight years to get there. Building a space ship that could safely transport a group of humans large enough to have a sufficiently diverse genetic pool for a succesful colony for eight years through space between stars would be the greatest engineering challenge mankind has ever faced, times fifty. A one way trip to the closest star would be the most difficult challenge humanity has ever faced. And a second trip to another star wouldn't be much easier. The idea that if aliens existed they would surely be doing that regularly is born purely out of science fiction sir i just asked if you wanted to super-size your fries

the fermi paradox is only a paradox if you're a heathen piece of garbage that denies god's divine will and humanity's sacred dominion over all creatures
