Plot twist: we all are the aliens

[@Brown-Marquez_editz]

Technically to aliens were the aliens

[@gokulgoku4618]

Actually we are 😅

[@ChanceWilkinsTwin]

​@@sirbarringtonwomblembe4098there's life on earth and there are billions of other planets out there and millions that have potential for life and that's just the ones we can see. To think we are the only planet that ever produced life is idiotic and mental.

[@zoro9503]

Maybe Life doesn't need water ...some of these organisms might have adapted to other things that might be unknown to us right now

[@malachite072]

It doesn't require water, it's proven. But "need" is relative, our perception to this could be limited by the fact we only understand our planet. The properties of water left prints and information about life as we know it. An ecosystem from entirely different molecules means a domino effect is certain and significant. I guess ignorance is a part of science, we know water can give life so water is prioritized in research.

[@healthiswealth1452]

Crazy to think we are the aliens that other aliens could be looking for

[@wabejoo]

The distances are too big for us ever to traverse. The nearest star system, i.e., the centauri star system, is so far that it would take light 4 years to travel there. We are nowhere near building anything that can travel as fast as light. The best we can hope for is to find organisms on planetary satellites, like Europa, Enceladus etc., and judging from the distance those are from the sun, it is unlikely that we shall find life on such cold worlds. However, that does not mean we should not continue searching.

[@user-cd8xi9sb2r]

Distance to anywhere in the Universe is the big issue.If Aliens have reached Earth from anywhere, that would be mind blowing, because of the distance. Matter can't travel at the speed of light ..We should be fearful of a species that can conquer distance of that magnitude.

Sorry but your description of a type 2 civilization is the definition for a type 3. Type one harnesses their host planets energy. Can control local weather and earthquakes and such. A type 2 can harness the planets host star and have colonized multiple planets in the local solar system. A type 3 uses Dyson Spheres so colonize and move throughout the galaxy.

A Type I or K1 civilization has mastered all the energy available to their home planet, available from a neighboring star. It extracts its energy, information, and raw materials from fission and fusion power, and renewable resources; is capable of interplanetary spaceflight and communication; mega-scale planetary engineering; medical breakthroughs to eliminate disease and slow ageing; multiplanetary government and interplanetary trade; species is tech augmented; but is still vulnerable to extinction.

Crazy thing is, the odds of you even being alive to witness this is One Trillion to the Millionth Power. Life is rare. For instance, we know gold exists but have you ever found an unrefined nugget in your travels laying on the ground? Extraterrestrial life is like that, Earth exists. There is a lot of Life on earth. So...

[@msprissmiss]

These videos are odd because they work under the assumption that we haven't and all evidence points towards them being here a long time & assisting us in our early stages til even now. The proof is everywhere, unless, of course, you don't want to know. That's something different.
