UFO/Aliens
First Contact Will Not Be Radio Signals
If Arthur C Clarke’s assessment is right, that advance tech will look like magic, then first contact might look a lot like ghosts!
In the old days, when it was assumed that interstellar travel was hard, the prediction was we would hear from others before we shake hands with others. Now, in era where Faster Than Light theories are increasingly more plausible, society should be preparing for the very real scenario, you will see them before you have any evidence they are out there. Should we be preparing? And should scientist be the ones formulating the protocols for engagement?
Scientist, per a 2021 Forbes article, suggests we are advanced enough to find alien probes. Meanwhile, on Earth, we can’t even agree on what UFOs are and many scientist avoid the subject all together. Avi Loeb speculated Omuamua was a probe and received a host of criticism, still today, which begs the question if we can detect them, but we’re not willing to consider the evidence when we see it- then how we ever see it?
I assume the educated Doctor, Avi Loeb, is a reasonable human being. So, why is his alien probe theory unreasonable?
