say this works…then what?
An astronomy professor weighs in on the risks is we made contact. Most of us have an internal curiosity about what other life forms would look like, act like and just making contact in general. We are generally expecting aliens to be friendly (It may be human nature to think positively). One professor makes a case against the search as there may be risks we have not factored for:
The traditional assumption is that photos or other visual images are a universal language that any advanced life form could understand. In reality, it’s extremely unlikely that extraterrestrials would see things as humans do, says Don Hoffman, professor of cognitive sciences at the University of California, Irvine.
“The assumption that what we intend to communicate will be received as we intended it could be devastatingly dangerous,” Hoffman says.
What do you think should we continue?

Not really we seem to offend everything and everyone hope we offend the wrong aliens too…
Be ready to be probed. Then we’ll end up pissing them off. Well I guess we aren’t so big after all is what I say.
Why look for something we already know exist
Lol. And you think they’ll bother themselves with our petty squabbles? Absolutely not. Any advanced intelligence would either treat us as a wildlife reserve, or reduce us to ash.
It may be for the aliens.
We’re a good source of protein and trace minerals that can help keep an alien body healthy and strong.
Everything must consume something.
Riiiiiight
….I really like that point …lol
yeah its a bad idea , we are not ready for wats out there , we are a baby planet , we cant even get along with each other , let alone tryin to find another civilization, that would destroys us
Maybe extraterrestrials consider any species that transmits its location into space to be a somewhat stupid species that it just asking for trouble….
Already here LOL
by the time any alien race developed the technology to reach other galaxies they would have long before developed matter replication and would need nothing from us, that’s why we don’t see them all the time, they don’t need what we have and have no reason to interfere with our evolution as a species unless it poses a threat to the others. by the time we develop the ability to reach other species we will have solved the same problems, fusion power, matter replication, the ability to mine any mineral we can’t create through asteroid and planet mining…in the hundreds of years left to reach those goals and begin to explore the universe we will have hopefully eliminated, hunger, poverty, and war, as will happen with limitless food and power…if we are still a species of war and greed, we can no doubt count on the older races wiping us out before we can reek havoc on their galaxies…
yes , they are here an i believe something goin happen that goin be big in our life time , take heed to all the signs , an sighting u never know wen they wanna really make them selves know up close an personal
SERIOUSLY..probably not so much….directly
I’d say no, and so would Stephen Hawking. We might be no more that smart bacteria to them?
CEO Trump, build a dome.
One has already entered the ISS disguised as a primate: http://youtu.be/IFc1XWEkhpM
Probably not, but we still should. They might not even acknowledge us.
No because they’re here ya douchebags. Don’t you listen to the literally hundreds of testimonies from people of character and profession . Trust me I know they’re here from experience lol tired of seeing this stupid$#%&!@*question when they’re here already
The thing that intrigues me is certain sound wave length and frequencies hurt our ears and often give us headaches, what if we unknowingly send them a communication broadcast in a frequency, wave length, that hurts their ears and they take it as a weapon and become hostile, its not trying to contact them that bothers me its how we do it, that should be the question
I already found them
No.
If alien life exists, let’s not jump to conclusions and assume it’s intelligent. We may or may not have been visited. If we have, then perhaps there is intelligent life. If not, perhaps there isn’t or they just haven’t come to us. We can speculate many things all day long but finding any foreign life forms can be huge for us. We ARE ready to expand. The earth is way way way over populated in my opinion.
Lol I like both points
This is by far the best theory about the search for alien life I have ever read. It makes so much sense yet more questions pertaining to that theory arises. Such as: What if we made contact, they heard it (but like your theory states) and chose to ignore the signal?
So much questions are in need of answering
Exactly
Sorry Charlie… Nobody cares what you have to say since, you slept with women and did not tell them you are HIV positive.
Invasion….
They’re probably already watching us evolve to better understand themselves. It’s very possible that they even intentionally put us here, they could have even created this whole galaxy. They probably also protect us from other intelligent life forms, and that adds to our difficulty in finding any. There would have to be multiple species…
They all ready here lol
The aliens are hear already, their from inside the earth.
If the true basis of life is survival then we may not wanna give away our position so willingly .
