Former Israeli space security chief says aliens exist, humanity not ready

Hey, now.

I've had an encounter.

Bright light. Lost time. Wake up some place else, butt hurts.

"Colonoscopy" they said. "Yes, sure" I say.

If they have the technology to get to Earth, I think they are probably smarter than us.

And there’s the rub, they haven’t gotten to earth, no one has seen these aliens with their space travel technology. It’s the imagination of a senile old man whose mind is failing.

Maybe they are here, but we don’t know it? Like maybe they can shape shift to appear human. Or.... maybe they look just like us. We don’t know.

Or.... Maybe them not actually setting foot (do they have feet?) on Earth is part of the agreement with our collective governments.

So a bunch of not too bright alien tourists are on a space cruise from their home planet in a galaxy far far away.

They get drunk on the day trip to Mars and miss their ride home.

So they rock up on Earth looking for help and get mistaken for gods.

You have the makings of a great cheesy British Sci Fi TV series right there!

When I was in boarding school in Sussex in 1966 I thought Daleks were the coolest thing ever! :laughing

As were Batman, the Lone Ranger and Flipper filmed in that Country that existed only on TV and that I'd never get a chance to go to as I was going to die in the suffocating grasp of British public school education. :laughing

God that was awful.

Carbon based lifeforms are what we know, because that is what we are/evolved from. In my opinion, it would be small minded to assume that alien lifeforms need the specific conditions that gave rise to us, to form life of their own. I'm not talking about Si based lifeforms, but something fundamentally different, something that neither lifeform might be able to recognize the existence of the other.

There is theory out there about biology not based on carbon, like your aforementioned silicone based forms, but it is wildly theoretical and we have no evidence such things actually exist anywhere.

While we are supposing, we can only operate with the science we know, anything else is just smoking dank and staring at lava lamps.

One must always be willing to analyze new data, but one must never forget that all of existence is nothing but math and nothing exists until it is proven to exist.

The earth is really hollow and the lizard people are pulling strings behind the scenes.

I am willing to provide the same evidence as the Israeli dude.

One thing I've heard is they've converted to energy. Which has no mass and that's how they're able to do those insane 90-degree turns at hyper speeds.

Here's something I've pondering...

Let's say you're living in late 1800s and motorcycle had just been invented. It is amazing tech and allows leaps and bounds improvement in what can be done compared to previously with horses. Then do many cross-continent tours at much faster speeds than horse.

Now, what are chances that once you've introduced this tech, that you'd just abandon it completely? And stay with horses forever?

The observable universe, i.e. the edge of the universe that we can identify in any meaningful way is 46.5 BILLION light years in every direction from Earth.

Wait - where does that number come from? Everything I've seen seems to agree that the universe is about 13.8 billion years old. To identify the "edge of the universe" as being 46.5 billion light years away implies that we are seeing light from that edge, which means the light has been traveling for 3 times as long as the universe has been around. What am I missing?

How did GAJ beat Budgie in posting this thread?

Budgie, you're slowing down, man. :laughing

It is because you have to account for the expansion of the universe since the big bang.

90 Billion light years across is just the VISIBILE universe.

Keep in mine, some life and civilization needed to be the first to arise, it could be us.
