What will ETs be like?

meep.JPG
 
It seems increasingly likely that ETs are visiting the earth.

What do they want?
What are they like?
What is their favorite music?

Well...
- What do they want? Apparently, they want to scare the bejeezus out of... unsophisticated... rural people, late at night, on back-country roads. And probe them...
- What are they like? IMO, they're twisted ass freaks, with a sick sense of humor and Waay too much free time on their hands...
- Their favorite music? I'm inclined to agree with Firesign Theatre's Everything You know Is Wrong; that Gas Music from Jupiter...:rolleyes:
To be perfectly honest, though; I kind of agree with Calvin...;)

I don’t buy it. You’d have to have full control of time - space. So that demands wormhole travel. It may be a thing, but I’m unconvinced that they could manipulate wormholes to appear where needed to enter and control where they terminate for exit at destination.

One of my favorite plot twists [sic] in Carl Sagan's fiction book Contact was that upon encountering advanced extraterrestrial life who utilize wormholes to facilitate faster-than-light-speed travel, the poor knowledge-craving human is dismayed to discover that the aliens have no idea how the wormholes work or were built...because they were built by an even more advanced extraterrestrial civilization that had gone extinct (or simply disappeared) billions of years before the current users arrived on the scene.
 
Considering the vastness of space and the untold number of galaxies I can't believe that we're alone.

How advanced or primitive they are and whether or not they have been here are things I can't prove or disprove. But I'm more than open to the possibilities.

I think it’s foolish to presume we (Earth) have exclusivity in the universe. That doesn’t mean I waste my time with fantastical speculations on the matter while narudo charging military bases, but the contradictions and hypocrisy I see coming from a certain segment of skeptics is something I have strong opinions about. It’s against TB rules to elaborate any further on it, but the irony makes it hard to resist...
