Aliens? Kill'em! Let's secure a planet!

What if these aliens you're wanting to kill looked like this?



And this alien had billions of sisters and no brothers!?!

And they wanted to pro-create!

I 'd be killing any invaders! Uh-Huh.

Good point, they could look like this or they could be talking cows, or whatever. That is not important, the important thing is, that we are using earth up hardly in every way. We are basically destroying it.

explain how the past 100 years has been the most significant than the past few say hundred million?? why the speed boost?? sounds a little bit out of a perfect pattern, ie: natural evolution dont you think?? dfh out.

There are excellent books by Ray Kurzweil that explain that. Moore's law in electronics is one manifestation of that fundamental law.

The tempo of salient changes in the system is proportional to the system's complexity.

Why is war and killing preferred to peacefully colonizing, say, Mars and terraforming the world to suit our biological needs? You must realize that there is no guarantee that another planet harboring intelligent life will be anything like our own Earth, the same as there is no guarantee that another intelligent civilization will be anything like us biologically. It's likely that any distant candidate world we do find will need to be modified by us to become habitable. It seems like you're throwing in this whole War of the Worlds talk "after the fact"... partykid, are you xenophobic or what? You sure seem war-happy. I would like to know why when this is not the most obvious path we could pursue.

If we do find a planet that is capable of sustaining our biologies without support, it would take eons to get there with our present technology.

To save Earth, we'd have to have a complete change of our mindset that we presently have. That no one government owns any property on the planet and that it must be shared. To bad it's not done that way.

Terraforming Mars could be a priority.

Building a Ring World would have an astronomical price tag (that's an understatement and no pun intended), but worth the effort in the end.

To save Earth in our immediate geological future, I believe we must start with colonizing extraterrestrial bodies within the confines of our own Solar System.

In the event that an extrasolar planet is discovered that is capable of sustaining life as we know it, then we can concentrate on exploring the possibilities of traveling there.

I agree, the Earth is a finite body and we are running out of resources and corrupting it's life giving water and atmosphere. With all the knowledge that has been learned in the last thirty years due to this fact, our generations yet to be born may very well have to be the ones that correct the mistakes that we've made.

Terraforming? We have ska-rooed this planet and we should ska-roo with the ecosystem of another world? I know that Mars is a dead world to us, but should we rape Mars just so we can put up a few McDonald's on it? (Oh, it'll happen that way alright.) okay that may be harsh, but consider this, we have hardly answered the question: "What IS life?" Until we have a broader view of what life is, we shouldn't go mucking about on other worlds. What if we were to find a race of worms that we happy and sentient living in the muck of their otherwise uninhabited world? What if we were to find out that whales and dolphines were truely sentient. We would have alot of 'splainin' to do to them. We need to be real careful when the time comes to it. We need to know what life is in all it's forms: biologic, mineral, mechanical. Is this off thread or what?

First we'd have to negotiate with China and see if they're willing to set up Norinco on Mars to make the McDonald toys for us versus shipping them from Earth (our kids wouldn't be to happy with their Happy Meals if there was a shipping backlog).

I don't think so, but any how you're right in the sense that life forms has shown us the capability to communicate (though limited) with us. Just think if these intelligent animals? were to develope a thumb!

hmm to my knowledge, earth people can't fly in dome objects and can dissaper like *clicks thum* . i think they are intellegant... mayb we are aliens. and the "aliens" we are talking about are us, but advanced. mayb we are convics droped here and havnt devoloped? or when we die we assend to the next form...

Come on...we know nothing about what's out there!!!!Human is so low....if we try to change, to be more loving and spiritual we can get somewhere and be able to travel in other astral plane across universe, we are in the third dimension here on earth and is total crap! What you CAN'T see dosen't mean dosen't exist
Aliens are actually able to go in different astral plane, there is no time or space in the universe...u cannot compare earth and 3 dimension to the rest of universe....it's like totaly different, and that is the next step humans have to acheive until 2012, when the earth will shift pole....
Humanity will WAKE UP!!!! and it's like apocalypse of the world as we know it
