Well its not about “flying” per se. Even if we could ‘fly’ at light speed (and most of the scientific community agrees that it is impossible) it would still take several hundred years to reach the nearest planet that could possibly support life. Do you think some other life form is simply coming here to take a look only to turn back? The other theory is that we could somehow fold space in order to shorten the distance traveled. This argument has about as many holes as does time travel. Again, this is just my belief. You are entitled to yours just as much as the silly spaghetti monster believers in this thread are entitled to theirs. ---

How can something we have no idea how to do have holes? This is the problem, it’s like you are assuming we know everything about physics, we have only scratched the surface. We don’t even know how gravity works, which is probably something that has to be mastered in order to warp space (which is what gravity does). Think beyond our current ignorance and maybe you will be more open minded. ---

Do you think some other life form is simply coming here to take a look only to turn back? And here is another problem, we have no idea how many planets out there can support life, so why say “hundreds of light years”? For all we know Alpha Centauri has an earthlike planet. We won’t know until the ESA launches Darwin. NASA in it’s infinite ignorance decided to cancel the TPF program. ---

Lots of scientists thought that airplanes would rip apart at speeds approaching the speed of sound. Only by breaking it did we find out for sure. ---

You are entitled to yours just as much as the silly spaghetti monster believers in this thread are entitled to theirs.

Why, because we as humans have come this far in such a short while, and you think that given a few thousand more we couldn’t do some umimagineable things? You have a pretty narrow view, and honestly, nieve. Many astronauts, from various countries have all reported encounters with things that point to us being watched. ---

Why would we need to be limited to flying at light speed? … light speed is used as a measuring stick (reference point) simply because that is the fastest speed we were able to measure with our current technology > [@OfficerK](#): > > Do you think some other life form is simply coming here to take a look only to turn back? ABSOLUTELY! Why would any Intelligent life form want anything to do with an IGNORANT, SELFISH, ARROGANT, and DESTRUCTIVE race such as ours. Human beings are a really fucking stupid race.

I dunno. I think people are good at heart. I bet if there is some more mature race watching us it’s with the nostalgic view of a parent watching a child making mistakes in the name of learning. I just hope two scenarios don’t happen that would end our advancement: #1 - We run out of fossil fuels or cook the planet before we learn clean renewable resources. #2 - We kill ourselves with our technology. Did you know Russia detonated a nuclear weapon that shook the Earth? The shock wave of the Tsar Bomba circled the globe three measurable times. Oh and that was at 50% design capacity. I wouldn’t be too surprised to see either in my lifetime. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/aliens/66655.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/aliens/66655.md?page=4)
