- bluGill 8mo agoSorry, relativity is against it. They - if they exist (a debate I'm not touching) - don't even know we are here. Even if they knew we are here they can't get here.
- Razengan 8mo agoOr have a hands-off policy like we do with uncontacted tribes and some protected animal populations etc. I'll settle for anything to be honest. A sign, a derelict, an artifact, a fossil, an echo.. anything to distract humans from shitting on each other for a little while at least.
- bluGill 8mo agoAgain, physics says they can't. relativite and signal degrigation is hard. the energy of a star outside our arm of the galaxy isn't easy to detect, much less any signal of lower power.
- johnnyanmac 8mo agoOur current knowledge of physics says they can't. Who knows what others figured out. We still can't even explain 80% of the mass we measure.
- bluGill 8mo agowe know enough to know what we don't know is constrained by current rules. Newton physics mostly is good enough even when relativity is more correct - likewise whatever we don't know needs to generalize to relativity.
- Razengan 8mo ago> likewise whatever we don't know needs to generalize to relativity. What? I thought it needs to generalize to/fit into quantum mechanics.
- bluGill 8mo agothat too. However the well supborted expirements I'm talking about are in relativity, and we don't know how to generallze relativity to quantum mechanics. Thus my claim stops at relativity.
