What If Aliens are waiting for us to Evolve

So the question on why haven't we found Alien life is a good one. People claim there can be no Alien life or we would of found it by now. Or why haven't Aliens visited us because we are intelligent. Well guess it's all perspective. On a famous scale called the Kardashev scale it ranks intelligent civilizations and where we place is surprising to most. Dr. Michio Kaku has expanded on the scale with some better definitions but please watch this video and let me know what you think.




The question is then how to we become interesting and at what point are we considered Evolved enough for Aliens to take notice of us. When do we become a Type 1 civilization?


Please let me know what you think.

We would become interesting to them the second we become dangerous to them.

True however most Aliens that at least would visit us we would never be dangerous too. Just from being so far behind in Technology.

[Gheld]

I think regardless of the level of technological disparity it serves any species to avoid any other species with which it can't immediately form a dialogue.

[judgementofantonidas]

assuming there is a finite limit to technology there will reach a point where we pass that threshold regardless of their perceived head start.

'Why' is a never-ending question without an answer. Dr. Kaku also said that 'Why' cannot be asked when it comes to nature. As part of evolution,we cannot comprehend it all as our brain continues to develop. The impossible is possible, every possibility has happened, and will happen again.

[Gheld]

Anyway. If we are of any interest to a species that is advanced enough to reach us, chances are they have already infiltrated our culture and learned all about it. As I've said numerous times before. They could very well be trolling MMO-C as we speak.

Well assuming there is one where is that limit. 1 million? 2 million years. It's exciting that we can be a Type 1 civilization in the next 100 years however it will take forever to become a type 2 and maybe a million years till a Type 3. Then there is debate as what is after that and maybe there isn't a limit. Maybe civilizations are God Like at that point and travel to multiverses.

So forever we are behind it seems like. Just my thoughts.

Very nice!

Haha true.

What is this even saying.

[Ifeanychukwu]

They'd probably use us to test their beauty products and experimental medicine.

[xChurch]

They'll show up once we make our first Warp capable ship obviously!

Haha obviously. So guess our hopes are in Elon Musk to develop that.

Maybe they can use magic and transform into magical girls. Waiting for us to also transform into magical girls.

What if up is really down and left is really a type of cheese.

You really can't question logic beyond on your own, otherwise it would already exist (now that is some fine philosophy right there)

But really, we are talking about a race that would have evolved differently than ours, in a different environment, in a different spectrum of light, different atmosphere, different pretty much everything. All things that have affected our ways of perception, manners, speech etc. etc., all things that will be different for said alien specie and all things that makes it impossible for us to even make the least bit qualified guess as to what logic they would use to whether or not they should contact humans at a certain point.

But since it is so freely, said species are so evolved that they destroy all other races in the universe because their logic and conclusion is that the universe has limited space evolve points to evolve upon, so in their exterminations, they'll evolve even further. Satisfied?

[Obelisk Kai]

Actually there is a different explanation that maybe as credible.

http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2015/...-formed-so-far

The thrust of that article is that we are relatively early in the star formation phase of the Universe, there are stars unborn that will give rise to living worlds long after our own has been consumed by our sun.

Perhaps you are familiar with the concept of First Ones? They are a science fiction trope....ancient and powerful races, almost god like,who have been around for god knows how long.

If the vast majority of earth like planets, worlds than can sustain life are yet to form the the likeliest reason we haven't encountered alien life yet is because we are among the first tranche of sentient lifeforms to evolve. Good for us as, if we survive we should get a reasonable headstart.

WE could very well be the First Ones.

If so I pity the poor creatures whose homeworlds we invariably visit to observe them in their primitive states. After all, we came up with the idea of the anal probe...

[Ebalina]

They will have to wait few hundred years more.

We are devolving if anything.

[khazlol]

i feel like this video covers it all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNhhvQGsMEc

[DesMephisto]

What if we are the most advanced civilization out there? What if we...are the first contact.

Dr. Michio Kaku

Oh, Dr. Me So Cuckoo again. He's the go-to guy for all the cooky sci-fi or science shows when they need someone with a PhD to talk about something that's completely ludicrous. You shouldn't take anything he says seriously.

While people like Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye and Brian Cox are making actual science popular and fun, people like Kaku are making science and scientists look crazy.
