>>11583057Ya ya ya, a few hundred years ago(which is nothing), we thought flying was impossible or whatever.
Blah blah blah, some cretins say; "but physics forbid this and that," as if humanity has the whole universe figured out already, and as if the universe has to follow OUR rules. If we had everything figured out, science wouldn't be a thing.
And fuck your human exceptionalism. We haven't seen shit of the universe, and think we could possibly be alone? Do you know how common organic compounds are? Do you know how common water is? They're everywhere. It took no time at all for life to appear on earth after water became liquid.
But; "we don't see shit out there!" Are you expecting some alien bitches to serve themselves on a silver platter to us?.. using technology that is remotely similar to ours, like they just stopped all progress and were like; "nah, that's good we're done progressing." What makes you think we'd even be able to make sense of an alien message? Space is a noisy place, we don't know what their communications would look like. They might not even use binary. Their messages could be so dense in information, they appear as noise. Light could be a medium that is phased out in civilizations. Fuck human exceptionalism
