@@cale0176 well.. that’s the nature of the universe if you take away all emotion while examining everything. We are pretty much alone and likely won’t get off the planet nor should we for reasons. We most definitely won’t leave the solar system. Humans will not be a space faring species. There will be no Star Trek humans piloting ships… or making decisions.. ai will be the ones to travel. We are ape people that evolved to live on planet earth. The consequences of leaving would cause untold damage to our physiology and minds and our instinctual norms. We don’t need to anyway.. “but there’s too many people! We need to go to other planets!” No we don’t.. who says we do or that we should?.. we need to get our population back to normal levels that doesn’t break the balance of nature. We are ape people meant to live as ape people.. meaning we need to live more in line with our biological norms with nature. Less technology.. technology rips away our biological,gendered, and environmental norms over time rather quickly. We didn’t evolve to have the internet.. our species isn’t compatible with infinite technology.. There is no greater form we are trying to reach in our evolution.. we don’t need to evolve in to something else.. we are fine how we are. We are this way for a reason.. and that reason has kept us alive. The more you tear away the natural selection process, the more our evolution gets watered down to nothing. Now nothing is being selected for damn near. We certainly aren’t cultivating smarter humans.. our ancestors way back in the dawn of man used their brains more than we do. They weren’t dumb.. now our critical thinking has been steadily offloaded to technology. Smarter machines get made.. humans lose critical thinking skills along the way. We need to go back to living more “primitively”. It’s more in line with our evolution. Which in turn will make us happier because our genes want us to live that way. This attempt to continually progress technology is for nothing.. in all likelihood it will kill us over time. We can all live perfectly happy lives by going back to more primitive standards. It’ll have just as much meaning and purpose as any other way. What do we need to go to another solar system for?.. for what purpose? To progress technology further and what?.. “improve our lives?” Improve it how?.. what’s the end point of your “improving?” Until we never die? Get sick? Go through hardship or pain? How tf do you know that’s better for us? That sounds like a great way to completely end evolution.. the thing that got us to existence in the first place.. the thing that needs hardship and suffering to test a species so it can improve it.. We did in fact evolve to like pain and hardship. It gives us purpose and meaning. It makes us happy. We don’t need to take it away.. You’ll be messing with things you can’t even comprehend whether they are better or worse for us in the long run.. If you are choosing things that will help end our species by a swift death or slow uncomfortable pathetic decay.. (wall-e people) then we shouldn’t do that. You do know more and more technology can be very bad for us right? If we go down the eugenics route.. we’re done for. Humans can’t manage ourselves.. especially our own forced evolution.. you’re messing with things you don’t understand.

I'm curious as to why you think they were the worst antagonists. Is it because they were simple? Essentially soulless machines following their prime directive of multiplying? I could understand that. The Goa'uld and to a lesser degree, the Ori were more complex, even if their goals were pretty simple. I just saw the Replicators as such a formidable foe. Basically because they were machines and couldn't be reasoned with (well, up until the human-form Replicators, but even then it was difficult). And they had no "off" switch; you just had to blast them apart in such a way that they couldn't reassemble themselves. Edit: I just realized I may have interpreted you incorrectly. By "worst", I originally thought you meant "least good", but you may have meant, "most terrifying and/or most formidable". If it's the latter, forget the rest of this. 😅

For younger people out there, this is actually in the game Star Control 2. There's an alien race that inhabits a gas giant, so to explore space they send out self-replicating drones to contact other species. Of course there's a twist, the priority to harvest materials to make new probes is set higher than interacting with other species, so the probes actively seek out space ships, make contact, then attack them.

There is almost definitely other life somewhere out there. 100 billion stars in our galaxy, most of them with planets orbiting them (not necessarily in the habitable zone for life as we know it). There's somewhere between 100 billion to 1 trillion galaxies with that many stars. There's life out there. We will never interact with or contact any of them in the time scale of multiple generations. A probe to Proxima Centauri would take many multiple thousands of years to get there and then it's 4 years each way to communicate with it at all.

No its not. This is the first bad take i have heard from thor. He answered the question with the assumption that aliens meant lifeforms smart enough to make self replicating robots. Aliens includes ANY life outside of our planet. Keeping the size of the universe in mind it is extremely likely that aliens exist. So much so that aliens existing should be the default view of the universe. The only reasonable thing to question is if any of it meets our standards of intellect.

@Maibuwolf Brian Cox has a great quote about this that I'm gonna poorly paraphrase. "Surely life exists besides us, life started almost as soon as it could. But complex life, multicellular organisms, took 1/3 of the age of the universe to develop. That's a very long time for an unbroken chain of events to occur, and it is therefore possible, we are the only complex life to have evolved. In another 3 billion years another might pop up."

It takes millions of years for that light to reach us, on average. The average lifespan of a star is about 10 billion years, and Earth is about 4.5 billion years old.
