If aliens landed in a space ship..and you could talk with them...how long would they hold your interest?

Question

After you found out all you wanted to know from them.....what would you do with them?
(I'm sure I'll get a lot of silly answers...but hopefully a few sincere ones too. .) (I know I'm setting myself up for silly answers. And skeptics...just try to use your imagination...PRETEND this could happen!)

Cregg..I never know whether to believe you...or not. Your Q&As are hidden (mine too)...so I have no idea what you're really like. So..without that knowledge...I'll have to assume you're joking.

333...I think ..for me...it would probably be like talking to a scientist..and I wouldn't last very long at that. But..if they talked about their personal lives..that would interest me longer. But, I wouldn't neglect my family to learn from them.I think I did that when I was so involved in spiritual things. In fact...I probably stay on this computer too long now.

Dave S...I like your new picture better!! Sorry about the ADD. You seem to converse with us a lot...so maybe you could do the same with aliens. (I think we used to call ADD..."ants in your pants".)

Answer 1

what makes anyone think if they landed they would be here for peaceful purposes? would you want to tell them everything about this planet? this notion that aliens are coming to to be all warm and fuzzy with us is fine, but think of the other side of this debate. if we had the capability to travel to another planet and our own planet was dieing from what ever the cause, would we not be out looking for a suitable planet for our species to survive on? And if we found one that was already inhabited would we not be measuring them up to see what if any resistance they would give us? survival is survival. the fact that every so called known encounter with aliens has not been a pleasent one should tell you they are experimenting on us, they are anylizing us, and for all intents and purposes, having their way with us.

Answer 2

If we found some common mode of conversation I don't think I would ever grow tired of speaking with them. There are so many things to learn and know about this planet. Can you imagine if you opened the possible pool of information to encompass a much larger portion of the universe? That would be fantastic.

You really don't need to have a disclaimer for the skeptics here Denie. What you are proposing doesn't require any paranormal or supernatural things to happen, so it's a perfectly legitimate question. Sure, it might be improbable that extraterrestrials find our little speck of a planet, but it's possible nonetheless. In other words, I am open minded to the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

Answer 3

Hmmm!! It seems the small mind is on the earth side. The aliens would have nothing to talk to you about. The question should be: How long before they realized, if they haven't already, that we are really ignorant and backwards?? I would think they already know this, thus the contact is so small with ordinary people, people who just sit in front of their computers and think this is life.
I would also think that there would be nothing in common between them (aliens) and us, except for the fact we do have some potentials if we don't kill ourselves first.
And as for pretending this could happen..naw, it already has!!

Answer 4

I would probably pass out from exhaustion long before I wanted them to stop answering questions. However, in a more realistic sense they would hold my interest right up to when the U.S. Military (and other US Government forces) arrived.
Any gifts would be immediately taken away under the excuse of "National Security", one would have to sign a security agreement never to speak of this and if one broke this agreement all evidence that this actually happened would be impossible to find because it would be hidden under "National Security"
Of course Skeptics would want the anal probe (that might say something about their personality (shrug)) but you would have no evidence. Since their technology probably defies our current understanding of physics you would be called crazy until centuries after you were dead (Like
DA Vinci's crazy ideas about flying through the air in machines)

So in summary right up to the arrival of the troops.

Answer 5

The likelyhood that extraterrestrial beings and people might locate one yet another sexually appealing is quite plenty 0. Assuming that there ARE sapient extraterrestrial beings accessible, and that they are prepared to land in the international, and that they are able to surviving in the international, then people are plenty greater possibly to have an interest in a starfish than to the extraterrestrial beings. the clarification that celeb Trek and celeb Wars depict extraterrestrial beings as being very human like is via the fact, for the main area, human actors ought to play the area of extraterrestrial beings. so which you may get an exceedingly tall guy enjoying a walking rug (Chewbacca) or you will see brow prostheses on human actors, and all of us pretends that Klingons are an entire separate species. attempt analyzing some technological information fiction, fairly than gazing it, and you will locate extraterrestrial beings who look greater like a cat'o'9 tails (Larry Niven's Outsiders) or beings that look and act greater like amoeba than the rest (Robert forward's Cheela). And in the two certainly one of my examples, the gravity is incorrect...the Outsiders want quite much freefall circumstances, on the same time as the Cheelas, being made up of degenerate count number (they survive a neutron celeb), might violently decompress in the event that they experienced human-accepted gravity. In all likelyhood, extraterrestrial beings does no longer be such as people in any way. This includes having sexual indicators which might artwork for people, and people does no longer have sexual indicators that should artwork for the extraterrestrial beings. Heck, we are quite much same to chimpanzees, genetically, and quite much NO people have an interest in chimps, sexually. we could be pals with chimps, each and every so often, yet i can not think of courting one. and that i've got been analyzing technological information fiction for virtually 40 years now!

Answer 6

Usually, it's the other way around...

I'd probably see one of their big almond shaped eyes glazing over, and looking down at their intergalactic watch, then that little area with no mouth would start to move around like a yawn, but couldn't.

Then, the long green leg would start to slide away from me, and I'd see all the others heading back to the ship mumbling something like, "Yeah, Zoik was right... we came all the way for nothing,"

... and then my new thin green friend in front of me would either zap me, or say, "No hablas english" and run back to the ship.

I couldn't think of any silly answers, so I just came up with this.

Answer 7

What would I do with them? Well, let's see...

1. Have some nice dinner.
2. Talk about global warming.
3. Ask how and if they can help us to heal ourselves and the planet.
4. Watch some bands, hang out at the beach, share a spliff...enjoy life.
5. Then get stuck into fixing up this planet!

Answer 8

Having had memories of what you're referring to is agonizing since they made me forget most of it anyway. So, in that respect: asking them seems kinda pointless. I had recently wrote my therapist about some of these retrieved "repressed" memories throughout my life, and he claimed he would destroy them. Do you think I can believe that as well? Just pretend that what I'm writing here is true no matter how silly you think I am.

Answer 9

This very well could happen. You cannot prove aliens do not exist, so there.

Well assuming they don't experiment me and all...I would hang out with them. I can't get any friends on Earth...maybe another planet will be more friendly...

Answer 10

It's just like human beings, you'd try to get to know everything about THEM. From their hobbies to emotional states to their interests, etc. I want to find out how they deal with life in general, have a theological discussion and just their past history.

I wouldn't being friends with them. A guy and his alien friend.
