I do laugh when people spots lights in the Sky and think it's an alien craft or something. Come on, like an alien is going to travel a millions light years away from deep dark space and then turn on their lights? |
The problem with this and what
I find laughable, as I'm a major physics geek, is that you
assume that all the known laws of physics and the way the universe works has been already discovered. This couldn't be further from the truth for several reasons:
1. We are far from knowing a fraction of the physics that rules the universe. I mean for fucks sakes, we still power our machines off dirty fuel to include our means of getting INTO space.
2. Our understanding of physics is in a constant state of flux BECAUSE we know so very little given the very short time we have been dabbling in it. Think of what a civilization might accomplish in oh... I don't know, say a million years of scientific research.
3. You also assume that said alien civilization would not be much more advanced than we are, and we aren't even advanced enough to be considered a Class 1 civilization. The universe as WE have figured it is roughly 14 billion years old and earth is about 4.5 billion years old and "modern" man didn't appear on its surface until 50,000 years ago OF WHICH our primitive discovery and foundations of science didn't even really start until around 4000 - 3000 BC. That means we have only been playing scientist for about 6,000 years and most of that time WE HAD A LOT OF IT WRONG. We only JUST started figuring out things properly for a mere 200 years. BUT our knowledge and technology has exploded in those 200 years.
So that leads us to at least logically surmise that:
a. If an alien civilization has existed for millions of years and survived their own ages of stupidity, which we are STILL drowning in, AND they have been bettering their science and technology for millions of years as fast as we retarded humans have then I MUST borrow the words of Arthur C Clarke. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." We would literally think they were gods... hmmmm.
b. We cannot project our own inadequacies onto a wholly separate race of beings that have developed quite separately from us, within wholly different surroundings(place in the Universe) than us, and hindered or limited by their own different sets of mythology/ideology/religion etc.

There are plenty of "supposed" evidence that has been recorded since history HAS been recorded and has been visually recorded since the invention of the camera. The only problem is you have to decided whether you believe the evidence or not, aside from the obvious fakes.
