>almost everyone in this thread saying shit like "aliens are definitely here"What the fuck happened to this place? I will make a bet with any of you for any amount of money that ETs have never been anywhere near our solar system for the entirety of humanity's existence, and that the Pentagon won't release any evidence of such any time in the next 5 years.
There's zero evidence of ET visitation. All this shit is is some crank who used to work for the Pentagon and who's obsessed with teleportation and mind reading and other shit claiming that they found an ET vehicle. He's the only person making that claim, and he stopped working for the government years ago. There's
>>12006074Yes, almost certainly. If there are any, the actually squishy biological ETs, if they even still have biological bodies, would not be doing any of the distant exploration. Maybe some local stuff within their own galaxy, and maybe not even that.
The only exception would be if FTL travel were both possible and relatively trivial, which I agree is very unlikely. Even if you assume some space-manipulating system using negative energy/mass (like Alcubierre) is possible, which it may not be even in principle, there's a good chance the resources required to use it would be extremely costly even for a hyperadvanced level 4 civilization, and that they wouldn't just be jumping around the universe on a whim.
