bro he was crucified 💀 and resurrected He didn't leave earth He returned to heaven for the time being

Not necessarily. We may just people little annoying political monkeys who destroy themselves. They may only contact us once we've settled all our socio-political issues.

I'm guessing DMT and shrooms

Most likely we won't. I have some hope. It's either they come to us or we just need to reach the technological singularity.

This is projected to be reached by 2040/50, where AI will be able to produce technology at an ever increasing rate. That includes space travel.

Both which correlate. Our closest neighbour is centuari, 4 light years away. That's 4 trillion km. So distance does separate us, and it would also take a long time to get there too. Even at the speed of light it's 4 years back and forth, 8 years total. That's also accounting for the need for food for an entire crew etc. Best bet is probes.

most of which are most likely habitable. Like proxima centuari B (I think) which is said to have oceans and is a rocky planet. However it may be tidally locked.

That would only be if they lived amongst us, or studied us enough. They would probably only sound like a new English speaker.

Wormholes would mean space-time being sort of distorted in a way, in the process allowing visible light to be seen on both ends, and allowing physical objects tk pass through. It seems very theoretical at this point.

ftl is basically impossible too, you need negative mass to just reach the speed of light, and therefore the mass needed to go faster is just out of the question.

FTL may be possible with a warp bubble tho. Scientists have successfully created one.

How would that work tho? Again this is getting to theoretical stuff, but how would you travel across dimensions?

Being alone in the universe is quite frightening honestly. Exciting tho at the same time.

rare earth is a good contender, I would also agree, but doesn't that mean that there's still a possibility of an advanced species?

Interdimensional? That honestly just doesn't seem "realistic" with our current understanding of physics.

That would mean that they exist in a 4th dimension with an extra "measurement" like depth distance etc.

It really doesn't seem plausible.

Yeah. Language completely different and so on.

True, but you aren't accounting for the planets within >20 light years of us. They could probably observe us. Possibly even reach us.

It's a fair assumption to make.

But then in this scenario they would still exist I'm guessing. Wouldn't they just wipe us out if we become too advanced tho?

Rare, but not impossible. But again yeah it's unlikely we'll ever meet.

We may not even be communicating with the right stuff. Heck communication through neutrinos is possible, who knows what else also exists.

Why only 1? There are plenty habitable planets out there. Especially hycean planets.

Even with radio waves, over time they will diminish and just become a fuzzy mess, so yeah I see your point.

Wouldn't alpha centauri still be the best bet?

Its also basically impossible with our current tech. Traveling at the speed of light requires negative mass, which is impossible with current knowledge.

Do you think others have become interstellar yet or not?

I hope not. Hopefully there is other life, but honestly it seems the most likely.
