Reply #5: Well that also would assume one type of alien. [View All]

And the concept of the arguement saying they should exist, also says many should exist.

The concept that they should be humanitarian, could lead to the error of sharing tech to other race not humanitarian.

Creating a rouge less nice alien set, and a humanitarian set.

So the humanitarian ones have to go around and clean up the raiding of peaceful societies, by the pretty far advanced less emotionally evolved set.


That is a common story to answer good and bad, and still fit logical arguements in sci fi.



He suggests that aliens might simply raid Earth for its resources and then move on
That quote is an assumption of a limit to resources that far advanced aliens would not have overcome.

Just suppose molecule construction by many types of atomic manipulations. What if any molecule becomes a resource of any other type, what if energy was not an issue?


Read a book on unlimited energy, find a universe that is a complete void, and one that is complete energy, then flow the energy from full to empty, do not actually take that energy, but use its flow as power. Then total conservation of energy in the dimension you are in is maintained, although more of an academic point short of billions of years, and only universes effected are deemed in consistent state, so no time exist, and no life due to that limitation.
