They may prefer not to be noticed. If anyone could travel at the speed of light they would neither want to nor need to. Why would they bother? To go on an exotic holiday? To conquer a few more planets? Suppress a few more billions to their [human] way of thinking? Yawn. Nothing is _that_ exotic when you've already seen everything there is to see. A wet planet packed with backward worker ants all pretending to be a higher species? Yawn. "Conquering the galaxy" is a very human viewpoint. Nobody else is that daft. Nor that sociopathically aggressive. When did you meet, "them" to have determined this? Simple logic. Any species with the capacity for light travel must [surely] have worn out the age old problem of lack of resources? Not necessarily - their main motivation for moving to a new planetary system may well be because they have exhausted or polluted their last. Or that their sun has reached its "best before" date. What is fairly certain however is that to master near lightspeed drive they will have technologies that are potentially way more destructive than anything that we can imagine. So it seems likely that they are pretty civilised and able to negotiate amongst themselves. How they view the lesser lifeforms they encounter in places where they want the resources might depend on how benevolent (or otherwise) they are towards other species. Insect like intelligent lifeforms might be unimpressed with how we treat their kind on this planet for example. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

British academics fashioned themselves on the new version of the Greek academies hence anything beyond that period in terms of history or technical details is positively ignored so more ancient astronomical societies may as well be aliens in the minds of these under developed adults. There is no criticism here but there is commentary on why empiricism refuses to accept basic experiences like one day and rotation of the Earth as one and the same thing. The pseudo-intellectual bubble of relativity/quantum voodoo prevents these people from ever looking at genuine astronomy and all its gifts. So continue with p-branes or pea-brains, it suits followers of empiricism, not as science fiction but as a joke they have made of themselves where they can't snap out of their convictions to work towards recovering a sense of dignity and authority in astronomical affairs. |
