  “Earth First” is an interesting and compelling explanation for the Fermi Paradox.

  I think we should be looking inter dimensionally for alien life rather than extraterrestrial.

    How?

      The Orvil did a episode on that where they found a two dimensional universe with life in it. The bad part, three dimensional life cannot exist in two dimensions with a digestive track, it gets split into two parts.

      I can’t imagine a forth, fifth, or sixth dimension or how a three dimensional being could survive it.

  Also given the scale of time of the universe. We as humans have only existed for a small amout of time on the vast scale of things.

  Countless alien civilizations may have existed and destroyed themselves, and may others may have not come into existence yet.

    Revelation Space (#scifi) delves neatly into that.

  I’d believe it when I see evidence. Otherwise it’s just a possibility.

  • dgbbad@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    We are the evidence. Life can happen. It’s been proven. If it’s happening here, it’s crazy to think we are somehow special and it’s not happening somewhere else out there.

    alien doesn’t necessarily mean sapient, humanoid or even anything larger than a walnut. if you took life on earth as a sample of the universe it would be much more likely for an alien lifeform to be a plant or bacteria. and even an animal is more likely to be an insect than a mammal-like animal, much less anything humanoid.

    (someone should look into the numbers my source is just vague memory at this point)

  People who are interested in aliens and UFOs rarely solely make this argument. Often, they’ve encountered or somehow know of these aliens.

    That’s a bit of an oxymorinic argument those people use. If an inteligent species dropped by and had ONE look around, they would NOT turn on their high beams.

      If an intelligent species was able to travel the distance to actually reach us that’d mean they are far far far far beyond our technological capacity. It’d be game over if aliens ever reached us.

    If aliens don’t exist, how come all the bigots keep bitching about illegal ones? 🤔

  Ancient alien theorists say yes

  It’s really stupid to believe aliens visited earth given the size of the universe.

  source

  • entwine413@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I also agree with this statement, although it’s well within the realm of possibility that life on Earth was seeded by an ancient extraterrestrial civilization. That’s a timescale of a few billion years.

    But it’s still not as stupid as thinking that the supreme creator of the infinite universe has a personal interest in your actions.

      That would make some sense if not for overwhelming proof of evolution of both, animals and nature

    What about the American people constantly complaining about aliens illegally entering their country? Explain this!

    Those are 2 completely different statements.

      It wasn’t a refutation. It was added information.

        Comments should come with this disclaimer. People get so upset when you continue the discussion for no reason.

        Sorry I was not 100% sure so I figured I’d resoond just in case.

        Yeah the idea that aliens exist but haven’t been here yet is basically the plot of the awesome series
