Mr. Sausages Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 No, just extremely ignorant and a touch aloof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Well unless they are invisible, I'm pretty sure we'd be able to see each other. I don't speak Chinese but given time, I'm sure I could communicate with a Chinese person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I can't help thinking that an ant would at least be on an intellectual level to you. Which is why you think they're ignorant. They've fooled you, you see..... dead clever these ants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be made out of gas, and communicate by wafting air. You just never know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.K. Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Well, I'm hoping you have a really telling byeline to accompany that last post otherwise I'm going to have to start questioning your sense of humour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mission Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Check this area 51 clip out Link Sadly, that clip and the other clip you posted don't really do it for me. A glowing light moving erracticly in the night sky is nothing to get excited about really is it? I mean come on, if they can travel vast distances across space, you'd think they'd be able to fly in a controlled manner now wouldn't you? Watch some sci-fi, then, if you ever spot something like that in the night sky and get it on camera, come and give me a shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayfarer Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 They might look like ignorant pan dimensional chinese air wafting ants to you and I, and I am sure they'd be welcome. Unless, of course, they're here to make way for a hyperspace bypass. Or worse; to steal a picnic basket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 If there are other intelligent lifeforms out there, maybe they are clever enough to not broadcast signals to give away their positions and possibly safety. We have been sending radio waves out into space for years effectively saying "Here we are!!!!" So if there is other life out there, and it has the technology to visit our planet, we better hope that it would be friendly. Found Fermi's Paradox an interesting read.

Wayfarer Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 From My friend google The first extended broadcast of the human voice was transmitted through the air on December 24, 1906 from Brant Rock, Massachusetts. A Canadian engineer, Reginald Fessenden, had worked for Thomas Edison in his New Jersey Laboratory, and later became a professor at the University of Pittsburgh. Theoretically*, only those beings within a 99 light year radius of mother Earth know about us yet, if they were up at the time *Discounting Morse code, naturally.
