    Aliens are real but:

    Are 99% likely to not have space travel and just be random microscopic life or animal-like creatures not little green men with technology.

    Or

    Sapient, technologically advanced aliens exist but live too far away to communicate or travel to us.

    Or

    Interstellar/galactic space travel is impossible and impractical and it doesn't matter how advanced your technology is, there simply aren't the resources or energy available to do it.

      Was always a fan of the “if interstellar/intergalactic travel is possible and practical by some undiscovered method, the users would be so beyond earth technologically and societally that they wouldn’t care to fuck with us” theory.

      Personally prefer to think any aliens who got that far would be full falgsc as but any speculation is gonna be human centric anyway :shrug-outta-hecks:

        Yeah, they'd have to. If they were at all quarrelsome having the ability to build nukes that go at the speed of light means they would blow themselves up long before they could be a threat to us.

      What about those multidimensional theories?

        I always feel like those could potentially solve the Fermi Paradox question of "Where are all the aliens?" Well, if there's another / higher dimension / plane of reality, then surely all the more advanced aliens are hanging out there?

        I read that the TicTac / cigars / UAPs move like a mouse cursor across a screen. That description always makes me think of that.
