[QUOTE=theevilldeadII;48946393]wait do we have the technology to send a raido single 15,000 lights in a fast speed?[/QUOTE]half the time you post i just have no idea what you're trying to say[editline]20th October 2015[/editline][QUOTE=uitham;48946794]you are implying they don't already know about us yet[/QUOTE] honestly, they might not, barring the fact that they're obviously hyperadvanced, we really haven't given off that many clues to our presence. we aren't capable of building structures anywhere near the scale of these guys, and our radio signals won't reach them for another 1450 years or so, so the only way they'd be able to detect us is if they had some sort of massive, advanced telescopes that can resolve much higher detail than ours [editline]20th October 2015[/editline] or they've developed some manner of ftl travel or data transmission, in which case, panic
[QUOTE=Deathtrooper2;48941750]Even though people are excited by the possibility of aliens, im a little bit terrified. If this is truly a dyson sphere or dyson swarm, it means an alien race has progressed to a Kardashev Tier II civilization. We aren't even at one yet. And considering what happened to the Native Americans, what will happen if these guys find us... [editline]19th October 2015[/editline] Well, we got wormholes, but we need to stabilize them first. If they even exist...[/QUOTE] tbh probably nothing by the point of which they would be at, what could they possibly gain from us? [B]Edit[/B]: nvm posted this a bit prematurely, read through the rest of the thread and saw the culture thing but I doubt they would massacre us to see how our culture is
[QUOTE=Saxon;48946191]Nothing really material, but they would probably be interested in our culture, its unique to each civilization.[/QUOTE] In a plot twist, we are the alien space babes. It's us.
[QUOTE=Shirky;48946987]Yeah imagine if there are other civilizations out there that that have discovered multiple forms of life in other galaxies that are far more advanced than us, and so since we havent advanced as far, we are just brushed aside.

we're obviously not as advanced, but i think it's pretty misanthropic that everyone is constantly comparing us to base tribes in the eyes of an advanced eti if they actually saw us like that then i'd start doubting [i]their[/i] intelligence

i'm just saiyan, if these guys got this far, then they should be able to know obvious signs of intelligence when they see it [editline]20th October 2015[/editline] i mean, we can, can't we? and we're nowhere near the level they are
considering that even life itself is hard to come by in the universe, intelligent life like us would be probably an exceptional thing to come across. they'd at least recognize the importance of what they found

I don't think many people back then were pumping radio signals into space. [editline]21st October 2015[/editline] Unless the Mayans were up to some crazy shit.
Yeah they'd need a super-powerful telescope to see the surface of Earth from 1500 lightyears away, let alone be able to see an aerial view of Rome's ruins. By the time the denizens of that supposed superstructure pick our signals out of the cosmic radio fluff, we'll probably be brains in jars hooked up to a virtual world, being shunted into different robotic platforms to maintain our slice of digital heaven. Or smouldering ashes whirling around in the dead winds of a charred world. Either or, at this point...

[QUOTE=King of Limbs;48946909]and then they zoomed to flordia, stopped, and immediacy said " Hell no will we ever go to that planet and no one else should. "[/QUOTE] As a Floridian I cannot help but feel offended by this.
As an Alabamian I laugh in your general direction

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;48947936]considering that even life itself is hard to come by in the universe, intelligent life like us would be probably an exceptional thing to come across. they'd at least recognize the importance of what they found[/QUOTE] Alternatively our technology timeline might be routine and expected of any early intelligent civilization. To any observers, we might be the most ordinary type of civilization, our achievements grayed out among countless other worlds with their own achievements, like a kid in a very large classroom full of children all trying to get the teacher's attention with their project.
[QUOTE=King of Limbs;48946909]If there is a species out there in the universe capable of building a space mega structure, they most certainly would not give our planet the time of day to even stop by to say hello. We are extremely barbaric as a species still and we are not in any way capable of being able to handle any advanced alien tech until we get our shit together here first. Hell that's probably why no other life has stopped by here. They probably zoomed in from a telescope, saw isis behead some people, the United states bombing anything that moved, Africa in a state of emergency and then they zoomed to flordia, stopped, and immediacy said " Hell no will we ever go to that planet and no one else should. " Still I'm hopeful, but cautious to get excited.[/QUOTE] Nothing exists out there that doesn't want to consume you alive or enslave you.
[QUOTE=OvB;48947435]Earth is the space equivalent of this: [img]http://i.imgur.com/HII4WRA.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] It's crazy to think that there still might be some places out there that still exist undiscovered like that, right here on Earth.

[QUOTE=Joazzz;48952978]whats that photo from? is it the undisturbed primitive island somewhere in the Indian Ocean?[/QUOTE] It's an uncontacted tribe from Brazil.
The thing about alien life is that it could be completely, utterly [I]alien[/I]. Incomprehensible to humanity, and we could be incomprehensible to them. There's no guarantee we could even communicate. Even if we don't see radio transmissions from this planet (and if we do, it'll be fun making sense of them), I would say most people shouldn't lost interest. Worst case scenario this is an incredibly fascinating and rare astrological phenomenon. Its orbit is weird though, not only did it drastically obscure the output but it didn't really do so in an a periodic enough fashion to be a regular orbit. And it wouldn't make much sense for an artificial object to be so irregular, as well. Its bizarre. I really want to know more about this.
[QUOTE=Ruski v2.0;48938370]Imagine actually finding aliens. Imagine being able to use their technology to actually get off this rock and deal with our problems. Imagine becoming starlord and exploring the galaxy millions of lightyears away from home... I WANT TO BELIEVE[/QUOTE] Imagine if they saw us looking at them and then killed us all.
[QUOTE=markg06;48953133]Imagine if they saw us looking at them and then killed us all.[/QUOTE] There's no way they could do this unless they have telescopes able to see into the future, effectively. Or already have observation systems nearby.

[QUOTE=Itauske Roken;48953586]With Information Relays.[/QUOTE] That relay information still at the speed of light...
[QUOTE=Xystus234;48953015]It's an uncontacted tribe from Brazil.[/QUOTE] An even more interesting prospect is another civilization looking at us with similar technology and saying "Well shit - no way we're visiting those guys..." from maybe ten or so light years away. That means Katrina would of hit New Orleans by now.
[QUOTE=Incoming.;48953631]An even more interesting prospect is another civilization looking at us with similar technology and saying "Well shit - no way we're visiting those guys..." from maybe ten or so light years away. That means Katrina would of hit New Orleans by now.[/QUOTE] Yeah but the chances of there being a civilization that close, at this point in time (life has been around for 4.2 billion years, modern age 100 years, do the math etc.), when life is most likely already rare in the universe, is probablly pretty low. That this star might hold a civilization in 1,500 light years is a good sign if anything.
[QUOTE=OvB;48947435]Earth is the space equivalent of this: [img]http://i.imgur.com/HII4WRA.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Hopefully aliens will think we're just pretending to be primitive so we don't attract the attention of an enemy like in that Stargate Atlantis episode, and then share their technology with us without confirming first.
