Further question on Heidi’s Hypothesis - If the hypothesis is not correct what other explanation is there?

Question

If we are not the most intelligent life form in the universe, why hasn’t any other life form developed super advanced travel systems and influenced our lives? Surely if we are so primitive, they would have found us interesting just as we find ants, cockroaches and snails interesting, so interesting that we keep some of these lower intelligent animals as pets or samples for testing and experimenting.

Surely we would be conscious of such activity, just like our pets or lab animals if we were captured, tested upon or kept as pets, if we were in the same position as these other life forms which we have?

Answer 1

perhaps they are intelligent enough to hide their visits from us...

Answer 2

Several possibilities immediately come to mind as to "why other advanced races of intelligent beings HAVE NOT visited us and influenced our lives...

1. It's a very large Universe, with the distance between stars being so vast, that even a "warp" engine would take a long time to explore even a tiny percentage of the solar systems in just our one galaxy alone...

2. Our solar system may be located on the "South Side of Town" in our galaxy...and so they might be too afraid to explore our "ghetto" area of space...

3. Heidi makes the "assumptive fallacy" of assuming WE are THAT interesting...maybe Heidi needs to get over herself...

4. It may well be that WE are the FIRST and most intelligent lifeform in the Universe...but we haven't had enough time yet to invent high enough technology to "f*** up" the lives of other more primitive lifeforms outside our own world...(just give it time...and God Help all those more primitive lifeforms out there somewhere...Watch Out, E.T's!!!)

The People of Earth are comin' into town for a "visit...!!!" (better hide your waste-removal apertures...'cause WE are the ones who invented...

Alien Anal Probing...

Answer 3

Given the theory that the universe is in fact expanding, and that we are not at the outer edge of that expansion, it stands to reason that there must be suns and planets much older than ours, and of all those suns and planets, the odds are that some support life. Now, had our planet not met with that big catastrophy that wiped out the dinosaurs, would human life have developed? Who can say, but one thing for sure is that dinosaurs were around for a lot longer than we have been and didn't develop nuclear weapons, so the chance event that wiped them out is not guaranteed to happen on some other life-bearing world.

I think there could be a million worlds out there that had dinosaurs and such roaming the surface, but the event just never happened as it did on Earth, they were all eventually just wiped out when their sun died.

A million and one events could happen to stop life developing as it did on Earth, it's ludicrous to assume that we're nothing but a freak of nature, but that one chance in a billion could and did happen here, it could also happen (and probably has) elsewhere but at what stage before their sun died, nobody can say.

Answer 4

Because they don't think like humans, who see everything as something to learn and then to eventually conquer. These highly-evolved beings know that there is nothing more for them to learn, that they already know everything, so there is no use to do experiments and other sort of things just for the sake of acquiring knowledge. The concept of exploring the galaxy in order to know is an idea coming from a primitive mind who cannot believe anything that is not within its realm of physicality.

Also, they are very well aware of the Oneness of everything, that the idea of destroying something else within the closed system is something to be laughed at. Murder is not even conceivable in their nature, because they know that that would be like committing suicide.

The highly-evolved beings use their power for the betterment of their experience of life and others' experience of life. They use their power to do what they came for in their physical being to do.

They only help. Do you think that sudden technological gap before the Renaissance period is mainly attributed to the primitive intelligence of man?

Answer 5

If the possibilities of life on some other planets in some other parts of the universe are to be considered then brace yourself to imagine the possibilities of weird and wonderful beings in existence, but if the possibilities in forms and levels of intelligence in existence are also to be questioned then one should get ready to imagine the unimaginable, and think the unthinkable.

The facts are in front of us in form of the intelligence that has created this endlessly vast and mind bogglingly complex universe. Could it not accommodate within its limitless ranges huge variations of intelligent forms at various levels of development and sophistication? It is possible that there are some intelligent beings co-existing us in the universe, but they could be intelligent in a way entirely different to ours. We can see on earth the animals, insects and plants are intelligent in their own way, the proof of which is their very existence against all the odds. There intelligence does not incorporate capabilities of deviation from a rigidly set course of nature, or development tin human sense. For animals and plants, may be we are like unseen, unheard of, unfamiliar and unimagined aliens … that howsoever close we may think we are to them, they simply would not communicate with us, it is as if for them we simply not exist.

Then there is the question: is to communicate, or to reach out, really the ultimate purpose of intelligence? Isn’t it just a physical need realised in the mind cause by our presence in time and space. Whereas, as there could be other dimension in the mind that we do not even realise with our limited physically oriented consciousness. And if we become, for instance, spiritually, conscious we might see that there are dimensions aside the physical where the rules and requirements for intelligence are quite differently set. May be when something become genuinely intelligent, or supremely self-conscious, or when it reached a certain level in awareness it no longer seeks to reach other beings set apart of us in physical space.

In my view, our need and desire to travel trough space and time is merely a consequence of us being somehow locked in physical space time-continuum. In my view it would be futile to be able to travel extremely fast through space for the purpose of the development of a really intelligent mind as howsoever fast we might travel we still be at a physical level in this physical dimension of the universe. In order to develop to fullest capacities in the mind may be we need to travel by some other means into some other space and for some purpose entirely alien to even our imagination so far.

For us we are the first aliens. Do we know ourselves fully, absolutely, or completely? One day we might find ourselves in an entirely different way; one day we might realise that we are not what we have been thinking that we are: where do we come from … what is our purpose here in the universe … and then where do we all go … who are we … the questions can be asked, that only the self so far alien to us can answer.

Answer 6

it seems like everyone has their definition of alien life forms. some say they are less evolved. some say they are god like. i think it would be really beneficial to both us and the aliens if we were close to the same in our conscious development. that way we would gain reflection and lose some of our hermit mentality as a species. we are truly going loopy here, alone.

Answer 7

. Lordy mercy! Do you realize how much empty space there is in, ah, space? The real hypothesis would be how UNlikely is it that we could ever be 'found' in this immense universe?
There might be 500 Billion galaxies out there the size of the Milky Way! .

Answer 8

My life has been influenced by more highly evolved beings who visit here the same as is attested to by thousands of other people, so your question is fundamentally flawed!
