what would happen if we found aliens?
1) we all get along and run around in jumpsuits like in startrek+ 2) we do the imperial march thingy and starts to enslave those filty xenos? 3) we freak out and destroy the earth? 4) we capture hightech from them and starts to spread across the galxy as a plague, pretty much like the aliens in 'indipendence day'
so...what do you think would happen?

If WE found aliens ? As in, WE get the tech to go to THEIR world, and they don't ? I'll go with option #2 then !

Obviously aliens have already been found and the US government is already conspiring with them, selling them the oil that was 'liberated' in Iraq using a poor coverup excuse for a war. I mean, when you look at the facts it really is quite transparent as much as the media would like to brainwash you otherwise.

option 6: some fundamentalist/racist bozo decides that their planet is actually ours and tries to kill them with fire. ---

Option 7: We don't actually find them, there's been a few of them hanging around us all this time, here for the purpose of observing those of us they found particularly interesting.
They might go under names like Nagat^H^H^H^H^HMichael Niedermayer.

I stick to the grazing human theory for situations like this.
First we'll capture some of them. We'll study it. Then we'll see how it tastes. If they retaliate then we'll either try to make truce or go into intergalactic war.

I don't think we should tell you. You could be an alien trying to find out our long term planes for galactic domination.

Oh, all right. We would meet them with flowers and muffins and lots of hugs. And we would have a lot of tea parties.. definitely a lot of tea parties. ------------------------ I don't believe in sigs. |

We would get our ass kicked. Probably big time.
Ofc it is possible that we are only a few years from feasible interstellar travel and we'll be able to go to other star systems ourselves. Then again we could be thousands of years away. It may not even turn out to be possible to cross such distances (e.g. matter itself would decay before reaching your target even if the crew was in some form of stasis). If turned out that we had the upper hand technology wise, then humans would exploit these aliens and eventually they would die off. Greenpeace would protest but eventually corporate interest would be the deciding factor.
Now if it's the aliens who stumbled upon us then we would be probably done for. It seems that it takes a lot of aggression, destruction and exploitation (even their own kind ofc) for a civilization to achieve a highly developed status. I don't believe that a random alien race would be benevolent like E.T. Ofc I would like that but we better don't count on it. I mean look at us. Humans exploit other humans. They keep them in slavery, kill them, *****them, overtax them, force them into religious masses, steal from them, abuse them etc. Look at how humans treat animals. Now what do you suppose these people would do to aliens if they had the power?

Humans war on other humans mainly for resources (well for other things too. but mainly resources). A space faring civilisation would have access to practically limitless resources and probably energy... slaves on a single, probably unremarkable planet would be more trouble that it's worth. What we really have to be afraid of is that they could see us competition and just asteroid bomb us from distance. So if we meet aliens pray that theyre enlightened and friendly. Pray hard. ------------------------ I don't believe in sigs. |

I think even discovering the evidence of extra terrestrial intelligence, for example like in Ben Bova's Return to Mars (recommended read) evidence of a long dead Neanderthal like species on mars, people would freak out. The line from Men in Black is kinda true "A person is smart, people are dumb panicky animals" Discovery of sentient life heck probably even just simple single celled organisms would force people to re-evaluate a lot of social concepts overnight even more so if intelligent life was ever discovered and people don't react well to sudden changes in the social order. ------------------------------------------ Sig removed as it lacks EVE-related content.

If they are a high tech peaceful race. Option 2
Basically the nsa, cia, fbi and so on would be spying on them while they pay some joe schmo to snap a pick of one so that they can photoshop it over a naked kid and paste it on fox news with a big red alert that says "Aliens are child molesters" the public becomes outraged as the government reinstates the draft to a war of extinction. _______________________________________________ RuntimeError: ChainEvent is blocking by design, but you're block trapped.

Rishathra?
If a space-faring race finds us, then the answer is: they're gonna do whatever they damn well please. If they have a tech level high enough to bridge the gap between the stars, they should have a tech level high enough to sterilize this rock we call Terra at will. Our best course of action is to play nice, and pray to Raptor Jesus that they do the same.
