Why are we sending out space signals to aliens

Why are we sending out space signals to aliens​

The moonbats here on Earth need to let the mother ship know they have arrived and are sinking fast. They got Joe Biddum for a president.

The mother ship is the only one who can make head or tails out of anything Joe says.

Fortunately, there's no one out there but God, and He's coming soon enough whether we like it on not

Sorry son. There is No God out there or anywhere else. Hubble telescopes etc are seeing millions of miles into space in every direction and it consists of only galaxies like ours.
No God, no heaven nothing.

If aliens were out there is highly unlikely they could communicate with anyone. Although the main elements of life are abundant in the universe, it doesn't mean life evolved like us.
There's nothing suicidal about it. Why would anyone want to kill us all? That makes no sense.

All we are basically doing is attempting to detect microwaves and signals etc then hope we can trace the origin. I hope we do.

Maybe we can find a planet of Jews ?? That is where I would move too

One small schlep for mankind

First of God is a spiritual being so it transcends many plane of reality, so God can exist while not being seen by the Human eye.

Second, space is a vast ocean and close minded people like you once thought the Earth was flat, the Universe revolved around Gaia and that our tribe of people were the only kind on this planet but thousands of years later we have learned that we are a speck in the eye of the Universe.

Finally, other advanced life forms live out there and the question for me is what make you think you are advanced enough for their attention?

We are a war like being with very limited knowledge of how the Universe and we can not even learn to agree to disagree, so why would any advance civilization want to come and communicate with us unless it is the pest control wanting to kill off a roach problem that the Universe does not need?

There are many billions of earths and even Mars will have huge indoor cities one day

Show the class one, and how you know it
As for mars, it can never be inhabited for extended periods of time. You anti-science loons that love fantasy are a riot

 

[petro]

There are beacons in every direction about one light year out warning of the crazed primates on the third world from Sol.
We are the galaxy's Sentinel Island.
Land at your own risk.

Imagine the Klingons just now watching All In The Family.We could be in for some big trouble.

Yes but maybe we’re in the perfect location that they keep missing us !!
Most likely an Alien race would find us too primitive and simple to even care about

The only thing of value we might offer a space faring race would be the opportunity to study us in our natural state. That is why I believe ET is already here and keeping themselves hidden (their Prime Directive) from us.

That would be earth

You want to believe....

Because the truth frightens you

Thats not true. For all we know, they might not have algae on their alien planet, or uranium, or a million other things. They may have never invented the camera, or plastic, or rubber, or carbon fiber. There would be plenty of interesting things for an alien to study on Earth.

Some truths do frighten me but ET is not one of them. If you're referring to God and Judgement, that doesn't frighten me either since I think the odds of ET being here are many times greater rather it is you who should be frightened of an afterlife. You live with the possibility that you might suffer eternal punishment if you believe wrongly. I have no such worries.

I agree we have plenty of interest to study but they're not going to come to earth to strip mine our uranium. Mercury or a 4th generation solar system is probably a better source if they don't have their own.

Sending out messages into space is an absolute waste of time.

If....and that's a mighty big "if" there was intelligent life out there by the time our signal reached them it would have degraded to the point of static.

Then because of the laws of physics and time dilation the chances of us destroying the Earth before they get here is much more likely than us ever seeing them.

Most of the solar systems we have seen that don't have so oval of a planetary track and have something other than a gas giant at a similar spacing that earth does from the sun are so rare and so far away that actually they don't exist any longer as their suns have long since burned out.

(Most of the stars we see at night burned out long ago)

So...in essence there is no one listening.

Kidding me?

I`ve had one on the top of my house since november offering gas money if they`ll get me the fuck out of this nuthouse.

Radio waves travel a long ways in space.

God is in outer space?

 

[JohnDB]

Radio waves travel a long ways in space.

I understand that...but I'm not kidding about the signal degradation....it's still too far away even at the speed of light.

Assuming light speed is the fastest you can travel. For all we know, there are aliens who can fold space and time.
