"Humans have been looking to the stars for millennia wondering if we're the only intelligent beings in the universe. Statistically, it's highly illogical (as Spock would say) we're alone. Stretching out from this planet of 7 billion people there are 46 billion light years between us and the edge of the knowable universe. There must be someone or something. Sometimes it's best not to dwell on this, unless you enjoy having an existential crisis. Leave that to the SETI Institute and those like Dr. Frank Drake, who in 1961 developed the Drake Equation, which seeks to calculate the number of detectable civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy…."

The question is: Will humans welcome them in peace?

wondering if we're the only intelligent beings in the universe So, we believe that we're intelligent beings? Well, aren't we grand? |

Just be suspicious when they say they would like to have you for dinner!

Can't imagine a peaceful invasion. |

"Just be suspicious when they say they would like to have you for dinner!" If they are lobster-like creatures and their translator devices render their words into "We come in peas!", then THEY might become the dinner…

Watch the movie "Oblivion". I imagine it has the answer you seek. |

I fear that a few on each side would try to make a "connection". :( Dan

CAPTAIN I have a feeling that loads of odd characters and young people would ignore all the warnings and still try hard to get a seat on those meat lockers … ahem … I mean alien spaceships. And I don't think I would try to stand in their way. :) Dan |

I read this passage in a book many years ago. I think it says it all. "I believe that someday, man will colonise space, and during this time, he will encounter other lifeforms … … and if they don't want to defend themselves, that's not my problem." |

Yep. They should have watched all our "historical documents" and gotten the very clear hint to run for their lives! :) Dan
