The technological advancement required to construct and operate such craft would have far outpaced the need for anything as archaic as "mining" for gold; especially since there would be ample supplies spewed out by super novi all along their course.

Off course they would have superior mining methods etc. It was just pondering & hoping
Wish the aliens would show themselves publicly. The world is sinking and anything positive could help

If ET's were able to get to Earth 12,000 years ago, from who knows how many light years away (certainly not in our immediate celestial neighborhood, else we would have seen evidence of their civilization by now), they would have certainly developed a far more efficient technology for extracting terrestrial gold than human slave labor.
The simple physics of space travel requires that any interstellar trip at less than the speed of light will take hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of years...Or more. The technological advancement required to construct and operate such craft would have far outpaced the need for anything as archaic as "mining" for gold; especially since there would be ample supplies spewed out by super novi all along their course.
If a civilization were to develop faster than light, or even trans-dimensional technology, they would have already mastered the ability to manipulate physics to their whims, resulting in the ability to create any element they desire faster than you or I could nuke a frozen pizza.
Absolutely. The problem with that is that almost 100% of the most major world problems are caused by corrupt ,locked in their ivory towers, 'elites', who will be impossible to get rid of .

If your only boat is sinking, it makes sense to do everything you can to "patch the hull and bail out the water as fast as you can", rather than count on (hope for the arrival of) the Coast Guard.
A positive outcome is most often preceded by a positive attitude.
It is our planet.
We can save it, if we want to..
Maybe that is what they are waiting for....to see if we can "pass the test" and become a truly "civilized" civilization.

E.T. a baby daddy??? No matter what anomaly they may find during the alien DNA mapping, unless they have an actual DNA sample from E.T. the results will return inconclusive. Cavemen drinking out of pools of water the dinosaurs peed and crapped in might affect ones DNA over a million years. If the hormones in the animals we drink and eat from today can have effects on us and our children not yet born surely our ancestors gnawing away on dinosaur bones all day could as well.
Before someone comments, yes I know dinosaurs were not around then, just throwing humor in. The point being without actual E.T. DNA to compare with anything that may say their is alien DNA should be questioned proof positive.

I find the aging angle interesting, are they the telemeres, that shorten with each replication to induce aging?
