Yet all intelligent life on earth is biological based.
Our dreams, thoughts and very existence is controlled and contained in a wet mushy device we call the brain and we still haven't figured out how to duplicate it. Even the most powerful computers on earth cannot duplicate it. Hell, we can't even find the very thing that creates consciousness.
With that said, for all we know an alien force might not even have to use physical travel or telescopes to see other worlds.
What if they are able to turn their consciousness into light and travel across the universe in an instant and what if they have also figured out how to construct and control mass at the subatomic level?
In this instance they can easily manipulate the universe itself and be anywhere within a fraction of a second.
Meanwhile here we are with our mushy brains waiting for the next iPhone to come out and most of us using the device couldnt even explain how our voices travel a fraction of a second to another human cross the world.
The only real advancement we've made is with nuclear fusion but instead of studying how we can travel worlds using a huge amount of energy packed into small space, we turn this discovery into a weapon that WILL be used to destroy our very existence in the very near future.
Why on earth would a far more intelligent life bother visiting us primitives?
