After the encounter with these beings, will new ice cream flavors emerge?
That's because I have no other words to describe them. You can feel how you want but it is what it is. From what I have read and what I have heard, it's only a matter of time before we make contact. There seem to be two factions. One is intent on taking what they can from us and the other is a more understanding group.

its called tentacle porn, the japs already know something we dont know
Why do they even care about us?
This seems to be a very human way of dealing with us. Get creative, you have sullied your reputation with the last few posts.
This evolved into one of silliest threads I can remember.
We got people on here thinking they are so flexible and unique in their thinking presenting some of the most mundane, colloquial ideas while absolutely astounding themselves. This is entertaining. Please don't stop.
Alien dreams, hmmmm?
If the "life?" we think we are encountering with the overwelming amount of UFO sightings we have experienced are any indication of what we are really up against then "they" can't be all that different than humans. They can't fly*** themselves, aren't overly large, and do have sight and can survive in our atmosphere (could have some sort of breathing device). So do they look at success and failure like we do, do they celebrate holidays, music? Do they elect their leaders?
Then there's always a chance they do nothing even remotely similiar to what humans do. And are as different from us as it can possibly get. It does appear they aren't aggressive, at least the ones with the technology to travel the distance they must be traveling to get here and back. Of course there could be a world where they are barbaric and vicious, but lack the intellect to do much more than slay and eat.
*** remote control? Sending out robot craft to see what our reaction is? Roswell a plot to watch how we act to those from other places. While the little beings found there were legit they were just crash dummies, planted to look like what we expect to see.

Sick.
No mention of ice cream either.
You have sullied your reputation for going back and forth with me. I was just describing Monsters Inc.
Exactly.You have sullied your reputation for going back and forth with me. I was just describing Monsters Inc.
Dead ended. You basically rely on pictures because the ideas won't carry the day.
And you could not find words to describe your possibilities.
Of course you could not.
I have often wondered if relatives will be able to look up our musings after we are dead and gone and feel shamed.
Wait, did you just flip the script? Are you messing with me now? I just admitted that everything I said was a joke and that I was just describing a kids movie. Are YOU now living rent free?
Oh go that route.
Yeah of course your description with words had to be a kids movie.
How could I have missed it?
Of course you were always just joking. It was so obvious. But it wasn't.
Please continue.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!
Then you do have an imagination.
Will they look at our porn and be disgusted or will they think it's lame? Like the black and white stuff they used to have.
It'll be like a national geographic special to them
If "they?" were here on earth long ago why did they leave and go into hiding when they come back to visit? Are they afraid of us?
If you're doing an experiment on some animals and want to observe them, you don't just pop into the jungle and say, "hi". You let the experiment/manipulation run its course.
Which takes us back to time and how it could be totally different out there.
Thank you internets.
My remark earlier regarding bilateral symmetry was driven by an article regarding fractals and earths organic patterns. I would be hard pressed to find the article years after reading it.
That said, I wouldn't care to speculate that there are any gaurantees, given how small our sample size is, relative to the universe. I would guess that any life forms would be very different.
Even speculating what forms naturally would occur is silly, IMO, because a species capable of bridging interstellar distances is unlikely to be restricted by their original natural form. They could look like anything they want to, barring any deep cultural disposition to original forms.
We would likely be of marginal interest to such beings, given our very limited energy/technology base. Probably about as interesting as the proverbial anthill.
Time is different out there. There is no such thing as simultaneity when large distances are considered.
The constant is the speed of light. Time is not a constant, neither is space. Have you heard of Einstein?
Have you heard of the twin thought experiment. Do you know we have set atomic clocks so they are synchronized and then moved one of them away quickly and then back to its synchronized partner and the clock that has traveled is behind? Ie it's younger?
o McFly... Avante has sort of found Einstein.
I think the above is an apt movie quote in this case.
Neither would I.Thank you internets.

But based on the experiment of life already run for us I'm thinking its very difficult to make eukaryotic cells. (2 billion years to make eukaryotic cells in a universe~13 billion years old?, damn) And if you don't make eukaryotic you won't end up with bilateral. And if you don't end up bilateral you will never end up with a nervous system that is complex... And if you don't end up with complex nervous systems you are not going to get creatures strange enough to contemplate their own existence and or make up amusing stories about little green men in New Mexico.
I find this interesting. But it could be entirely wrong. For now, I'm running with the above and enjoying the perceived thinking out side box in which the interest of the limitations of said box completely escape some. I mean if one has no idea how big the box is how do think outside of it?
I bet some have the answers without giving the box a second thought.

Did you miss the word...might? And you must stop with this ridiculous ...we. Stop thinking the answers have been found when it's real obvious they haven't been.
Things ..might....be completely different way out there and yes one of those....might...be time. Stop being so simple and limited, this is not simple or limited.
Why don't you read what others, with far more interest about the idea of time than you, have to say about the subject?
If someone just walked into your room and stated that the Blues were created from the foundations of new wave and punk rock would you object? You would not question theirTIMING of events?
I don't care what anyone says about time, they live here not out there.
Look at what we have today compared to 1000 years ago. Where was science then compared to today? Now where will things be 1000 years from now. Will there be new discovers, if not then why not stop searching? We don't know how things might be like out in the vastness of space.
Think how puny we are when looking at the big picture but we know how it all worksDid we know how it all worked 1000 years ago?
Speaking of Einstein, he did say this....
- Every one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe-a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble.
Speaking of spirits....
We live in a physical world with its four known space-time dimensions of length, width, height (or depth) and time. The God of the Bible, however, dwells in a different dimension—the spirit realm—beyond the natural perception of our physical senses. It’s not that God isn’t real; it’s a matter of Him not being limited by the physical laws and dimensions that govern our world (Isaiah 57:15 Isaiah 57:15For thus said the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
American King James Version×). He is spirit (John 4:24 John 4:24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
American King James Version×).

I get this isn't about the existence of God, but we are talking about things that like God we don't know the answers. No God ever perceived time like us humans do, so just maybe............................................. ..
