Top 3 Reasons Why We Haven’t “Seen” Aliens

Are you familiar with the Fermi paradox?

The main crux of it is basically the contradiction of the seemingly high likelihood of extraterrestrials given the vastness of the visible universe yet the fact that “most” of us have not visibly seen aliens.  A very clever philosopher examines this paradox further with 3 fascinating and thought provoking explanations.

Here are the 3 possibilities the writer poses as explanations:

Possibility 1) Super-intelligent life could very well have already visited Earth, but before we were here. In the scheme of things, sentient humans have only been around for about 50,000 years, a little blip of time. If contact happened before then, it might have made some ducks flip out and run into the water and that’s it. Further, recorded history only goes back 5,500 years—a group of ancient hunter-gatherer tribes may have experienced some crazy alien shit, but they had no good way to tell anyone in the future about it.

Let’s find out the other 2 on the next page

    Ian Douglas wrote a 9 book series that offers a well fitting, and disturbing, reason for the Fermi Paradox. One species species has risen with a sense of Hyper Darwinism to eliminate any competition, and holds the galaxy by eliminating emergent star faring civilizations when found

    Warp drive is defined by passing the speed of light. Which the proton collider, last time I checked, was 99.99999999% close. They’ve probably gone past it by now. So it’s possible. It’ll happen. Real “magic” is just science that has been explained yet.

  3. Josh Kemp said:

    Hell there are lots of documented alien and alien spacecraft sightings. Just because we as a people are sheep and let our upper gov tell us we didn’t see it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

  4. Marc Levine said:

    Look bottom line, If there is no way to break speed of light, in other words no warp drives or wormholes then you can be 1000000 years ahead in technology. If it can’t be done it can’t be done. I also find it disappointing but it would certainly explain why we have not been visited.

    Over 1000 craft/occupant encounters in France alone in one year, 1954, so many, researcher Aime Michel plotted them on a map and found distinct patterns, indicating a real phenomenon and not delusions. See Jessie Roestenberg from England on YouTube from 1954. Hallucinations don’t give people Klieg (actinic) conjunctivitis, or other radiation injuries such as in the Cash/Landrum case, Stefan Michalac, or Joao Prestes Filho from 1946. Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson is correct in his paranoia when he says he fears that if we had an alien visitation, we might not even recognize it. – Russ Brinegar, author, “Overlords of the Singularity.”

    Exactly! And if we as humans have protected airspace, would space be any different? Russian and Iranian jets don’t fly over US states.

    I mean in reality what other culture in the universe would want to visit humanity, humans are vicious and evil. Humans would be the first to trigger an interstellar war, because they are so quick to attack and destroy without thinking. Other cultures throughout the universe have probably received TV, radio transmissions from decades back of all the death and destruction humans cause. To each other and even the animal kingdom- not to mention the ravaging of the earth itself. I personally believe that earth is a quarantined planet, forbidden by anybody to visit throughout the universe. Because of how evil humans are, the entities we are use to seeing are from inside the earth.

    I routinely use technology far beyond the comprehension of insects to travel to a fire ant bed near my house and observe their interactions because I find it fascinating.

    Not once have I demanded they take me to their leader.

    …I have however interacted a few times with various mounds with a pot of boiling water or a magnifying glass to use on the various drones “walking in the desert” around the mound.

    Aliens can’t do this?

    That’s the other thing…we would have infinite questions at any given moment of the future, but much more primitive or “obvious” questions now. We most likely need to be able to comprehend the answers first, along with accept our own first. I have dozens of theories bit I keep coming back to two.

    -there’s a galactic alliance that has parameters about introducing a violent & ignorangt fledgling race, possibly guiding us is the strangest ways (like a Planetary Web of contact forcing us to work this out and understand perspective)

    -a superior race that holds so much time, power, and knowledge under their belt, they make sure the little ones do nothing but pollute their minds into insanity.

    Please, if you ever hear a skeptic pose the ridiculous “where’s the white house lawn landing” line…please slap them with logic. Our future scientific cosmic explorers would find that insane and unethical. Maybe land in obscure regions, take samples, observe, initiate one on one contact and make scientific and even economically ethical moves.

    You should research, and certainly not the hoaxes of youtube. But through undebunked, undeniable, documented visitations we have had. Oh and all those 14th century (and earlier) paintings with clear as day craft painted in them are pretty suggestive. We HAVE been visited. Everybody isn’t crazy but you, rather the communities have been researching on their own as they should be, and come across the same undeniable, albeit general, conclusions. Maybe you haven’t read some of the police reports, military records, declassified documents, government official testimony, etc.. that many of us find interesting. Hard to say “can’t because physics” then. Bh the way the speed of light isn’t the fastest possible, just the fastest we’ve measured. This is simple logic bro. Our knowledge of science is infinitesimal. The model (now cracked because of so called “impossibly” massive anamolies discovered) will be altered again to allow for more ‘can’t do’s’ into ‘can do’s’ under circumstance….again…just like the last thousand years, just like the next. You are not born into the end of discovery. One man tried arguing that time travel will always be impossible, but he said that knowing nothing of relativity. Relativity being one of those things of circumstance I mentioned, that forces nay-sayers to eat thier words.

    Look we know there out there we know there here and we know thay can hear us. So the q is y do thay not physically show themselves and talk to us. If time traveling I understand,but whos to say that wasent sopost to happen in the first place. If along the timeline then y not.

    Instead of actually explaining what happened to ancient civilizations, they call it like the fermi paradox happened. Its actually a trap and a very illogical way of thinking. Keep in mind that this comes from the same people that wont admit how old humans are. They do know that humans are millions, if not billions of years old

  13. Scott Fein said:

    I’ve seen and talked to them….they think we are a bunch of self entitled fucktards who need a reboot.They left and stated they would be back in a few thousand years to see if we are worth talking to again.

  14. Jeffrey Belden Jr said:

    You were taught that you only use 10% of your brain, by the same people that taught you, you evolved from a fucking monkey. How is that even remotely logical? You cant prove either are true, go ahead

  15. Jeffrey Belden Jr said:

    This is extremely relevant. I see a correlation with wormholes and traveling from galaxy to galaxy. Simply because, i do not think we can just simply fly out of this galaxy, and into the next

  16. Jeffrey Belden Jr said:

    Marc Levine theres a book called Alchemical Psychology. Its a really good place to start. It explains how phenomena affects physics. It explains how one experiment, can be tried a dozen times, with a dozen different outcomes. Everything is made out of vibration, frequency and energy. We literally do create our own reality

  17. Marc Levine said:

    I will repeat. ****IF***** the speed of light is an absolute limit that cannot be surpassed and no amount of advanced technology can get around it, then that would explain why we have not been visited. It’s very disappointing. I absolutely believe there is life on other planets. I don’t think we have ever been visited. I’m not a conspiracy tin hat wearing type person. I don’t think there are aliens at are 51. (I did love that scene however in Independence Day where the Sec of Defense says sir that’s not entirely accurate and everyone turns around 😉 ). I’m 68 years old, from the time I was 7 years old to soon after I started going to college I used to go to a sleep away 8 week summer camp in the Catskills about 150 miles outside of NYC. In the mid 50’s there was a UFO scare. I remember being at the camp (likely 1954 or 1955) people during “rest period” were out on blankets looking for UFO’s. Someone said I see one over there. Bunches of people were looking in that direction and saying I see it. I remember thinking what are they talking about I don’t see anything.

  18. Marc Levine said:

    Let’s talk about SETI. Some years ago, I remember reading in a FAQ on the SETI site that if we set up our own monitoring equipment on a planet 100 light years away from earth and aimed the antennas at earth we could not pick up the stray signals coming from earth. The equipment would not be sensitive enough. We’re not talking about the feeble signals from 100 years ago even the stray signals from now would not register on the equipment we had. The signals would be too weak to pick up. My 1st through, was we first need to improve the sensitivity of the monitoring equipment. Now that was I would say at least 10 years ago. So that’s another possibility. The instruments are too insensitive or maybe looking at the wrong electromagnetic place to pick anything up.

    Who are we to think aliens are even close to our size dimensionally. Given the vastness of the universe and the size is it’s structures, the chances they are within realm of earthly measurable size is slim.

  20. Kevin Hudman said:

    maybe they have been here multiple times tried to help us better ourselves as human beings and are just tired of having to deal with what we do with the knowledge they do give us.

  21. Michael Tmad Finney said:

    Given the fact that we have been pointing Seta and telescopes to the sky for decades and even centuries in the latter case,
    There has been no significant signal detected of advanced life.

    Furthermore, every eye witness accounts of any UFO has never been seen darting into space, only seen dashing through our own atmosphere or around our planet..

    What if what mankind have been witnessing and documenting is merely what Einstein himself predicted would be an inevitability of our scientific progression?..
    What if it is just Us from a future time going back to scientifically record our own history?..
    Odd how ufo sightings are usually seen during historical events..

    I’m not saying that I don’t believe that there isn’t life on other planets, just saying there isn’t evidence that they are coming the reaches of the universe..
    What if they are just so highly advanced in intelligence that they didn’t screw up their planet?..

    Just saying

    The day they disclose we are not alone in the universe is the day the people start asking questions. They purposefully keep you dumbed down so they “the world powers” remain in control. From religion to politics to the withholding of ancient discoveries that could change how we live over night. Don’t be fooled. Videos all over YouTube prove we are not alone. You go into the ocean there is life in divine adundance. Same with space. Go up and there are hundreds of thousands of travelers who have lived on earth for millions of years etc etc. don’t be fooled by ignorance. We are most definitely not alone

  23. Aaron Radel said:

    We are the leftovers of an enslaved race. Still slaves to this very day. Trapped in the system. Born here naturally but have to pay to play. Wake up

  24. Chris Johnston said:

    I see this posted here and other locations but never see what I think is probably the most likely reason we’ve never seen aliens. It’s just the distances that are involved are just too vast to navigate. In reality there are no “warp drives”, “wormholes”, FTL motors, etc. We’re currently limited rocket motors and small ion motors which might work for interplanetary jumping but aren’t feasable for interstelar distances. (and I don’t even know how much universal expansion would come into play at those slow speeds. Maybe it’s just not possible to traverse those distances, for us, or any other species.
