Next thing u know it's just an extremely slow pulsar :sweat:

What’s a pulsar? I don’t think I’m able to translate it. I’m not familiar with that word in English either

A neutron star that emits radiation from its magnetic poles

 

EDIT: A photo so you can understand more clearly lol.

The two beams represent the radiation

Although the slowest pulsar we've found rotates every 23 seconds so :poot:

16 days is a little crazy :poot:

Whimsical bitch

And the gap in time between each pulse is super consistent and accurate.

 

  So accurate in fact that it's been proposed that if humans ever became space travellers and found a way cover a distance faster than light we could use Pulsars as a form of map and GPS cuz each pulsar has its own unique pattern

 

In reality tho I was joking about this being a pulsar. one signal every 16 days is way too slow for a pulsar. It's rotation would have to be so slow that it wouldn't emit any magnetic pulses for us to detect

 

Neutron stars are extremely small (you could walk across them in just a few hours if it was possible to survive their intense gravity) so a spin every 16 days would mean the star would be barely rotating at all

I was joking about the pulsar as I said above ∆∆∆∆∆

 

I know it can't actually be a pulsar lol

We've had so many false alarms with aliens that I don't wanna get any hopes up :emma:

 

Besides it takes so dam long for that sh*t to travel thru space that by the time we get it that alien race could have ended in self-anihalation already :selena:

Or ascended to omnipotence :tony: just to look on the bright side of things :diane:

Hacked the universal code and now they play us like the Sims :diane:

Alien 1979 the live remake :legend:

And when you say my name, like white horses on the waves, I think it feels the same, as an ocean in my veins.

Yeah

 

Tbh the time it takes for signals to travel are so long that by the time we receive them and send a reply...

 

They likely aren't around anymore, or if they are still around they would be so advanced that they probably wouldn't care to talk to us or see us as of any significance

 

I feel like alien communication back and fourth between races just don't happen... They probably get sent all the time but a meaningful exchange just doesn't happen

 

Unless 2 races just happen to be close to eachother (like neighboring star system) and by sheer coincidence just so happen to be advanced to a simmilar enough degree

 

The chances of 2 races being close AND on a simmilar enough level for a communication relationship is like slim to none

I don't think it would affect those things much at all tbh

It would disprove everything written in the Bible, and the idea that we are in any way blessed by God or his favourite creations. 

Based on “reports” these aliens have probably also anti-gravity mechanics—meaning they have cheap, gas free transportation 10x faster than our jets. If they showed us how to create such a thing, the entire oil industry would collapse; destroying much of the worlds economy

Not everyone would agree with that. It never exclusively says humans are the only creatures in the Universe

 

I'm not all that religious myself but I was brought up by a religious family and also my boss and some co-workers were

 

That conversation has come up many times and many of them believe aliens might indeed exist and that there's no reason to assume God would only create humans and the Earth and nothing else in the vast Universe

 

I don't think it would necessarily end people's faith

 

As for the part about Oil, I guess that depends whether or not they shared that technology with us :enigma:

Aaaahhaaaa...

the oil companies are against discovering alien life …. 

now I get it....:popcorn:

like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still. My words give a clue,look inside to see whats true

Even if it were aliens, governments have a protocol to follow (it has a specific name but I am to tired too look for it). And they might refuse to say anything about it to prevent the population from panicking
