• What do you think Aliens will look like?

Just incase there are any smartasses out there, I mean the Aliens from outer space. Not Immigrants. This is basically a thread to blurt about your idea to think what you think what Aliens look like. What I think, Aliens look like are bipedal (Which means they walk on 2 legs, just like humans), they have the same body as humanoids. With 4 arms, 2 arms where above the hip is, and 2 by the neck (used for eating and whatnot). Then have a mouth just like the Predator. And eyes of a human. And they sent a failed DNA experiment to space (Which are Human DNA) cause the DNA was shit compared to the Alien's DNA. So then the DNA tube fell on 2 chimpanzees humping, and cross-contaminated, and made man.

I don't care what one will look like, because I will never see one.
I wouldn't be surprised if they were quite similar in appearance to humans. We evolved this way for a reason.
They won't look like "greys" are alleged to. They may have 2 arms and 2 legs like we do, but the similarities will probably end there. We're talking completely independent evolution on completely different planets. Humans, in fact, might have looked a lot differently if they evolved somewhere other than the deserts where they did.
Probably like a chewbacca. Just with a bald spot on it's head and maybe a extra arm or lev.
[QUOTE=TheGuru;23247204]I wouldn't be surprised if they were quite similar in appearance to humans. We evolved this way for a reason.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I have a feeling that they're just like humans.
[QUOTE=Valon Kyre;23247226]Probably like a chewbacca. Just with a bald spot on it's head and maybe a extra arm or lev.[/QUOTE] yea i can see this, this guy has done his research
If humans have lost hair as time goes on due to evolution, if they manage to reach us and come to earth, it's assumed they'll be more evolved than us since they've had more time to perfect space travel. Assuming they followed a similar evolutionary path, they'll be hairless/low-hair.
OP, what would the evolutionary advantages be of having antennae?
transparent invertebrates living miles away from a natural light source wiggiling about the deep, cold ocean that is Europa. Suckling opon the geothermal vents that gave them life. To describe intelligent life would be impossible unless the environment and history of the planet they live on is well known and understood.
Fuck that I'd like to know the evolutionary advantages of having a cunt for a face

i think they would have to at least be human like. after all, we are the best on the planet

It all depends on their ancestral species, the environment in which the ancestral species evolved, and the environment in which their current species evolved. For example, if they evolved from primate-like animals in a jungle-like habitat, then evolved through grasslands for the most part, and then an ice age before settling into a middle-of-the-road temperate climate, they'd probably look similar to humans (we followed a similar path). However, another factor depends on how early in their evolution that their sentience arose. Ice ages are kinda like one of the biggest tests of a race. If they can survive through several ice ages, adapting to the cold climate, then they're more than capable of survival as a species. The sooner a species learns to use animal hides as a protection against cold, the more capable a species is of surviving harsh cold climates. As for the formation of civilisations, freshwater rivers are important, since several of our ancient civilisations, the Mesopotamians (the Tigris and Euphrates), the Egyptians (the Nile), the Chinese (the Yellow River), they settled near a reliable source of fresh water to sustain their community. Domestication and agriculture are also very important in the development of a civilisation. A species needs to learn how to cultivate certain edible plants like grain, fruit and vegetables, whilst also knowing to steal the young of certain animals and train them to fulfill certain societal roles, such as livestock, camp guards. House-building's also important, the planet needs to make the right materials for creating basic buildings, such as mud, stone, animal bone, wood, animal hides, etc. With the skills of domestication, agriculture and "masonry", a society can create villages, although social skills and interaction are key to cooperation. And fire, fire is one of the most important aspects of any civilisation. It allows them to shape things into different forms, be it food, minerals, or even the landscape. If the species were, say, a form of humanoid fire-breathing dragon (bear with me on this), the species would have a headstart in terms of firemaking, and not discover it by banging rocks together or watching lightning strike a dead tree, since fire was with them since the dawn of their species, and would likely form the foundation of their religious beliefs, with all sorts of mystical fire-based rites and rituals, as well as association of fire with the sun and stars. Well, that deviated a little. I described how the path depends on the species' appearance, and then went all the way to describing how civilisation and culture would form...

I think maybe they will be a gas, or liquid :tinfoil:
[QUOTE=wonkadonk;23247294]OP, what would the evolutionary advantages be of having antennae?[/QUOTE] That's true, by our knowledge. But they'll come from an entirly different ecosystem, differen't rules will apply :D
I don't think there are any intelligent life forms like humans out there. There will be life, like bacteria and stuff which will be aliens and maybe little rat-like creatures too, but nothing on our scale.

And they're just too far away.
You can't speculate on what an alien would look like with no knowledge. You'd need to know the conditions of their homeworld among various other things. [b]IF[/b] aliens have similar sensory organs as humans I'd assume most of the primary sensory organs would be housed near the brain as ours are. That way it minimises time delay from sensory data being captured to it being processed and dealt with. In most cases having the head either level with or ABOVE the rest of the body would probably be beneficial as it allows the creature in question to more easily see around it and it's surroundings. If you're a herbivore for example and ANY of your body is sticking out of tall grass you're gonna want it to be the part of your body that can see stuff (or sense stuff in general). I think that'd be the major similarities with Earth life (and even then there'd no doubt be conditions so unlike Earth's in every way that even THOSE similarities would be nonexistant; I'm speaking from purely terrestrial LIKE conditions (not necessarily identical, though). The position of the head and what's on/in it. Other than that... well, things could be WILDLY different.

Maybe the troubles of relativity are causing troubles too, since FTL is more or less impossible asides from the loophole possibility of wormholes, and no race is yet able to travel across space quickly... Y'know, if there were some kind of "space god", some kind of sentient entity that was coterminous with all time and space, capable of opening wormholes at will, then interstellar space travel would be kind of a religious thing, probably requiring some sort of prayer or rite to contact the entity, and appease it in order to gain safe passage between the worlds. But there ain't no space god, let alone an actual god, and so we're all stuck to our local neighbourhoods. But then again, as some guy called Voltaire once said, "If God did not exist it would be necessary to invent Him". IF such an entity were to exist and become the mythical "Keeper of the Gates", then the ways between the stars would open, and we'd actually be able to meet the other races. Maybe such an entity did exist at one point in prehistory, only to suddenly disappear due to unknown circumstances, and with the entity's disappearance, the ways between the stars were closed, and whatever sort of stellar empires there were soon fell into disarray due to isolation, plunging the universe into a dark age. I think a similar entity existed in the works of H.P Lovecraft, the Outer God Yog-Sothoth, although Yog-Sothoth allegedly didn't give a damn about most mortals (cosmic indifference ftw), and only responded to sorcerors and the like... If there actually were some kind of "Yog-Sothoth" that was more interested in mortals, and more willing to open ways between worlds, then we'd probably be able to actually travel the universe properly. In other words, FTL is impossible except for wormholes, and if the universe had a Yog-Sothoth, we'd be able to achieve interstellar travel.
