Too many assumptions in that post. LOOWell if they managed to get here and made themselves know, they'd be peaceful.
Any species that has superluminal travel could obliterate a planet by capturing and accelerating an asteroid at relativistic speeds towards us. So if they haven't done that, they must not be a threat.
Wouldn't be much else worthwhile for them to do if they were hostile.
So worst case otherwise, they examine us from afar and we never make contact.
Best case, they accelerate our technological growth by a few orders of magnitude.
Unless of course they came from a world with similar characteristics and wanted more elbow room.Well if they managed to get here and made themselves know, they'd be peaceful.

The "Churchmouse-Unicorn" Telemetric Transporter?Oh but it does because it PROVES life can evolve on a planet other than earth. Believing a thing, no matter how strongly and knowing it for a fact are two wildly different places in ones mind.
Once life on Mars is confirmed the chances those really nifty UFO's the USN has been chasing around on almost a daily basis for years actually could be extraterrestrial increase by a lot. Such a finding would be 1 part awesome and 3 parts scary as hell.
Never forget, we know a lot but we are farrrrrrr from knowing everything there is know about physics.
A hundred years ago we literally had no idea we lived in a vast and expanding universe. There is a reason mankind's greatest telescope to date is named after Edwin Hubble. We are one stroke of inspired genius away from the next revolution in physics that could lead us to the stars.

I've long thought that pixie dust could be manipulated for space travel.The "Churchmouse-Unicorn" Telemetric Transporter?
Could it be that life could evolve where the necessary resource is something else?If there is aliens and they are more advanced than us. It will be for them to conquer us if they come. It won't be peaceful as everyone or some think. This planet is full of something the majority of planets do not have. Water.
Water is the key to life it seems.
I highly doubt it. I imagine the very thing we have in this solar system represents the majority of the universe. I'm not saying we haven't discovered other things because we really haven't taken samples of the rest of the planets in our system. I would assume everything is pretty much the same throughout the universe.Could it be that life could evolve where the necessary resource is something else?
Really how many planets do we know of that have water out of the thousands of planets they think might have water?Water is not uncommon in the Universe
According to scientists intelligent life will most likely be humanoid in form.I think we have no idea about what ET even looks like, let alone what their demeanor is like. Hell, there's such a diversity in human demeanor, how could we possibly assume what ET's is?
Maybe to exist as a species long enough to have developed technology capable of fast journeys through such vast space, they have learned to override the hostile behaviors that helped them evolve to sentience.
For example, though there is still war, humans are more peaceful overall than even 500 years ago.
Hell. They don't know.According to scientists intelligent life will most likely be humanoid in form.
Hell. They don't know.
It isn't like water was created here.Really how many planets do we know of that have water out of the thousands of planets they think might have water?
