(38,726 posts)Yes, I believe they have been here and there. Honestly, I do.
But, like in one episode of Star Trek, (both original, and Next Generation) the aliens have decided to avoid lower levels of intelligence.. not get involved in their development (that is the development of the human race, that is.... us)... Get it together the aliens said in a famous 1950s movie where they landed on earth . The alien and his robot, warned us not to mess around with nuclear weapons. What was that movie?? (it was, "The Day The Earth Stood Still)..because of advanced technology..this computer..it took 5 seconds to get it by searching with google ..for "famous sci fi movies"...5 seconds. It would have taken an hour at a library maybe 40 years ago.
So they aliens AVOID US WHY? if the aliens have advanced that far, they are likely to have some kind of rules of involvement with societies of "lesser levels of development" It goes with the territory of space travel. (at speeds necessary to travel within the galaxy)
Now let us not get out of ourselves fellow DUers...That kind of attitude is not beyond our own thinking. The human race has been developing for maybe the last 200,000 thousand years.. Hell I don't know...but we have been moving along for a long time. Say in your minds, if we could go back in time, say 10,000 of those years, or even 5000, do you think it would be a good idea to interfere with the development of Egyptian Society? Or early societies in Asia? Or in Syria?... Yes, just 5000 years ago, humans had not developed beyond building by hand and with animals. No methods of modern communication and little understanding of what we call science. Just 5000 years of human development has brought about the machines which I am typing on right now. I watched Star Trek in the 70s, and never thought I would have a hand held communicator, that could double as a computer as well as a HUGE...VERY HUGE ..library.. That is in the last 45 years..
Now let's imagine some kind of advanced alien race, say just 5000 years ahead of us. Should that group get involved in our development? Give us more info to do whatever we could do? Or kind of leave us alone and monitor us, to see how destructive we will become?
Would it be wise, if there were some way..to go back in time, just 2000 years, to save the Roman Empire from its downfall. Help them out sort to speak?...give them some help..and increase human development to some higher level..(so we could destroy our planet sooner)...or just leave it all alone, and let it develop as it will develop. Hoping for the good, and not the evil ....
And why is it so impossible that somewhere on some planet not real far away..(whatever that is) the advanced species that thinks intelligently, scientifically, and with some level of kindness, has developed just 5000 years ahead of us? Would that species really want to get involved with a leader like Mr. Trump?
...Yes, the last leader made a lot of sense, Mr. Obama....but how could those people on earth pick a total idiot like Mr. Trump?...that alien species would think..that planet has a way to go. Yes, Mr. Obama looked good and maybe we could deal with him the aliens would think. But why get rid of him and put in an idiot, stupid human like Mr. Trump?.. or Mr Putin for that matter...............
The alien intelligent species would be wise to stay away from earth. Maybe when those "humans" get it together in another 1000 years. Then, they will contact the humans......maybe....???????????
