I personally hope they stay away from aliens. It’s not realistic and there’s lots of stuff they can do without that.

Wait, do you actually think aliens are real? 🤣👽

Cause if you do I got some very rare and very expensive alien goop to sell you. Hmu.

It’s very selfish to think that mankind are the only intelligent beings in the entire universe lol

It's not selfish, it's a basic understanding of the immense scale of time and space.

Even if other sentient species ever did exist, it wouldn't be simultaneously to us. And even if by some 0.00000 [billion zeroes here] 000000001 chance they did exist simultaneously as us they would be so far away that we would never be able to practically know they existed before we ourselves went extinct as a species.

Even at a basic understanding, the chances of them not existing are extremely low when we consider the "immense scale of time and space". More so the fact that we/earth/people are a little early on the supposed time scale after the big bang

Again, sentient alien life may have existed or may yet exist in the future but the chances of them existing right now are so low I can't even express it in numbers.

And again, even they did we'd never make contact before either of us went extinct because space is just too big.

I mean, idk and you obviously dk but space is so big we/earth could be the last house far off away from the mainland and we could be straight missing some Aliens doing their own thing

I won't deny that idk they exist but to say that the chances of them existing right now are low is a little far fetched. Especially from someone who just said/understood how vast space is.

If you think they exist where are they?

If you can't prove they exist and you never will in a billion years because space is too big for you or them to ever reach each other does it even matter even if they were to exist?

You might as well try to prove god exists next because your chances of doing that might actually be higher.

Lmfao thank you for admitting defeat

Defeat? Do you think this is a fight? Surely you aren't that stupid?

How did you come to that conclusion?

Not being able to prove or disprove little green men isn't the "victory" you think it is. It just means even the basic concept of your sentient aliens that are somehow like us is as fictional as Harry Potter or God.

I've noticed you even capitalize the word "Aliens" like you're talking about God.

I already answered you question lol plus the fact that you can understand how vast space is means that you can also understand that they may or may not exist, we both dk and obviously can't say for certain they don't exist right now because we can't see it via person/satellite etc.

Henceforth you're just walking back on understanding how space is otherwise if you do understand how vast is, you would also understand you cannot make certain conclusions such as they don't exist right now simply because we can't see them lol very childlike logic

So tell me the odds of another sentient species like us existing right now close enough that we will ever actually make contact in a galaxy that is so large it's unfathomable yet of the thousands if not millions of stars and planets we can see none has any life on it, much less sentient.

I'll wait while you figure out the math.

Just because the answer will be more than 0 doesn't mean you or any other human will ever actually meet a capital A alien 👽, sorry.
