How often do you imagine that the solar system is being visited?
Radio waves have only been emitted for ~80 years. Industrialisation changing our atmosphere ~200 years. Even if something was persistently monitoring you are relying on “The creators” being within a short distance in light years to even have been notified.
Even being extremely optimistic about the speed of light not being absolute, other than wishful thinking - what makes you think that this scenario is “incredibly likely”?
- Teever 4y agoI think that it is very likely that numerous civilizations have seeded the star systems of this galaxy and others with probes that sit and watch for interesting/threatening things. The probes have arrived far before humans or even life existed on earth and have been waiting and watching ever since, with some of them possible reporting back to their creators on the state of earth while others still watching without yet sending a message because the state of earth hasn't reached some threshold. As for if these signals have made it back to the probes' creators yet, I consider that unlikely due to the scale of the universe.
