Question for FF: Empires
Are we alone in the universe?
Are we alone in the universe?
The thing about a monumental encounter with sentient aliens, is that it is too fantastic to exist.
I think it is overstressed how big the universe is. The near-infinite scope of it in our imagination leads the optimist to believe that anything could be out there. But, as far as the possibility of us meeting other sentient species in the Verse before our little light of humanity fizzles out is actually really low, even though the possibility of other civilizations existing somewhere out there is high.
The Drake equation makes this painfully clear. Where optimistic calculations count as many as fifty civilizations in this galaxy at this time, and pessimistic ones say that we are lucky to even exist at all. Even if we accept the optimistic projection of fourty-nine other civilizations, the galaxy is a big place. Chances of developing faster-than-light travel and communications during the period where a species is both in the broadcasting and communicative phase of thier given 10,000 years of space-searching are slim.
Not that I am pessimistic, but to be a realist in the situation, in the length of time humanity is around on this chunk of rock, we should never EXPECT to meet an extra-terrestrial civilization OVER THE PHONE, let alone face to face. I think that acting like it is going to happen some time or another is really just a pipe-dream amplified by science fiction. Its simply beyond practicality.
Even though we are alone, we still got each other. :)

Are we alone in the universe?
Yes, we are alone. People envisage something remarkable out there in the universe, another sentient life form or something, but I really do think that for the entirety of our existence we will never meet extra-terrestrial civilizations. All the stories and conspiracy theories are mostly Cold War covert ops gone awry. There will be no saving grace, no grand invasion, no "federation of planets". We're alone. I say, get used to it.

Travel With YDS: The Most Alien-Looking Place On Earth
Holy Magi, I saw those photos and couldn't believe it. It must be camera trickery! Gypsy magic? Luxembourgish mirage-potion? The Danes? THE DANES!?!?!?!
I don't believe it.
Reminds me of that Star Trek episode "Arena" where Kirk fights the lizard man on the rocks and throws boulders and crap at him.

Questions you always wanted to ask other members, but felt too lazy or awkward to do so.

Him: "Look. I'll just stay over here on my side and you stay on yours."
Me: "Uh, NO. You get out of MY bed. There's a couch in the other room, go sleep there.
Him: "Ugh, fine." *Gets up and leaves*
