How a Alien race would construct and build?

Well gosh I'm sorry you're butt hurt I didn't speculate further on my wild idea. To answer fully and without humor. I have no idea. I barely passed chemistry to be transparent and I was simply using my common sense which may not be too common.
Lighten up.

Good postulation Got any terrestrial ideas that might shine some knowlenge on this?

Thank you D.O.D

Ok I got ya. Yea the borg collective. The diamond age is realivly new to me and I will look into this futher. Thanks
But did I not cover this with transhumanism?

I would tell you why i reference the Diamond Age but it would ruin the ending

Sounds like something I would enjoy, I will definately have to read it.

And as far as snails being biomechanical batteries? Hell give a couple lead strips and a lemon
Of course we as human are some sort of batteries. We know that are neurons in our brains flow with electrons. Why not harness that. Oops I think we might have allready.

They have been putting wires into monkeys, rodents, wasps even into human brains. It's all synaspses. All life with brains basically work on electrical impuses.
Anyway let's keep onto topic. Putting wires into moth brains is not manufacturing, constructing or fabracting?
Or is it? IDK really where this is going. Maybe cause I had mention the technological singuarity and or transhumanism? I am looking for actual Ideas of ALIEN manufacture, not bug experiments?
Look I got two tape deguasers (erasers). I call them paddles. I can plug them both in and when I draw them together they hum like a MF and go nutz. I wonder what they would do to a human brain at times? I know that this is odd, but BUG BRAINS with wires? When I was a child and I know this sounds demented. I would take a nine volt battery and rip a leg off a big grasshopper and actually use the current from the battery to get the big grashopper leg to shoot marbles.

Fair enough...

The only other thing that immediately comes to mind is a smaller and more controlled version of how stars and planets are formed.

Well that would be godlike powers as I mentioned.

Not really....besides if an advanced civilization is capable of mastering genetics, robotics, and the engineering of a spaceship then would they not already possess "god like" powers when compared to our current humble endeavors?

Well yea what stirs me is the so called alien interveiw "With the doll" That describes this in detail. Have you heard it?

Nope...drop me a link?

Here is the link to the interview in case you never heard it. It is quite long, but very interesting.

I think the word is called "slaves".

I'm holdin' out for Alien Road Show.

No it isn't, read the rest of the posts on the subject.

Being a slave would imply forcing something to construct against it's will, where as bio-mechanical machines designed for construction would simply be programmed to do so. Which really wouldn't be slavery.

Very interesting question, OP.

I think any answer will depend on what you consider an alien race.

Take the underground non human races that are supposed to exist here on earth from the past, which would actually not be alien but from this world and hiding underground for a time. Or perhaps former inhabitants of this planet who went to...let's say the moon or mars, who traveled space but not very much further than us... maybe just within the solar system. If they haven't gotten much further than us, then maybe their tech is not that far past our own... but just slightly different here and there.

Or maybe you are talking about a true alien race that is from another solar system.

An ancient non human earthly race may not be technologically advanced at all...or even an inter dimensional one. Maybe they have a completely different biology that allows them to live in such a way that they have no need for technology but their being is very adapted by their will or something and they can achieve things we would see as a supernatural power... even if it is natural to them. Or maybe it is a race that has both unusual abilities AND tech... so maybe their tech would be different just based on what they are able to achieve naturally.

however, if you are talking about a technologically advanced race that has traveled a light year or more, through the interstellar medium... then I would say you might want to consider that a whole new ballgame.

Some of the weakest aspects of human technology is the fastening and the manufacturing. Face it, something that is nutted and bolted together is not going to withstand the same forces that something which is made more whole or streamline is going to withstand. Humans are at least at the point that they recognize this. Welding attempts to face down many of these draw backs, but I believe a race exists... regardless of origin, that is naturally capable of intricate and intense energy manipulation and can perhaps achieve a type of flawless fusion of elements on a level we are not yet able to achieve and this would be superior to fastening for many reasons in certain designs...such as space flight and aerodynamics.

that's not to say all non-human races could surpass this... We don't know how many are out there and some may not even be as advanced as humans... no matter where they came from..
the two things i am trying to present is the consideration of deep space flight that would make it a necessity to have something more advanced to keep it from falling apart in extreme conditions... AND... my personal belief that it's not just about what one could do with their hands that makes them an advanced race, but a more intricate understanding of energy... a natural ability to see things more clearly on a micro and macro level, concerning science and what things consist of and how to achieve a desired result...including chemistry, alchemy and frequencies of energy and how to use them.

It is my personal belief that certain non human species have special abilities but I'm not inclined to try to describe exactly what that entails... I couldn't possibly know the full scope, but from what I know personally... I do believe they could very well be telepathic, cause frequency reactions in people who are close enough to them to present some kind of danger as a form of self protection, can read the subtlest of energy cues and may very well be engineering and mechanical specialists of an exclusive level.

Not "Butthurt" just butthead intollerant.
