Any aliens capable of traveling to earth from another planet would be so advanced that any interest they'd have in humankind would be anthropological from a distance. I cannot imagine that any advanced civilization capable of interstellar travel would be interested in mingling and sharing scientific knowledge with a species that is hell bent on its own destruction. They'd be thinking "fuck that, we're not giving these assholes the secrets of the universe...they spend most of their time killing each other, that would be like giving an earth bazooka to an earth toddler"What would your reaction be? Of course, at first, it'll be scary. But will you overcome that fear and try to learn something?
And if so, and you could communicate, what would you ask?
Me? I want to learn about their culture. I want to learn about their music, art, and other forms of entertainment. Do they have any? Do they like ours? Do they like the Beatles! I want to learn about how they live.
Then, I want to learn about science baby!
