The answer is "maybe". So I'm not voting 🙂
The probability is very high, but until we actually meet "them", there is no scientific basis for saying "Yes, of course."
Raz> It's not astronomically impossible for aliens to contact us. They have several ways of doing that. They can send a radiosignal that we might receive through SETI. They may've found a way of creating warp-fields. Or - the best idea IMO - they've found a way to create stable wormholes (Rusky> NOT black holes - that's a oneway street to oblivion).
They just have to realise that we're here, third planet from some small stable yellow star. Our radio signals are some 80 lightyears from Earth around now -
Everyone else> Check out "Drake's Equation".
But the nearest solar system is thousands if not millions of light years away. So it will literally take thousands (or millions) of years for even radio signals traveling at light speed to reach the nearest solar system, never mind an "intelligent" solar system.
Regarding wormholes, is there any proof they exist? I was under the assumption it was all theoretical at the moment.
Omega, blackholes ARE wormholes...they have a very high density antimatter core which pulls matter in, but it is believed that there also is a place in space called a whitehole which acts as the opposite, throwing absorbed matter out... so provided u could keep a ship in one piece u COULD use a blackhole for travelling purposes..
Finti, I mean planets, like Earth...
what do u mean what do I mean planets ? 😕
here it is..
A black hole sucks in matter and energy and crushes it to an infinitly small dense point.
White holes- the equivelant to black hole. a white hole is an area where matter and energy goes out of it from a singularity to space.
A link between the two (if it exists) is a wormhole...
However, this wormhole would lead to another universe and not to another point in our universe.. this is where the two differ.. however, it is safe to assume that, just like u have said, it's a trip to oblivion because in the center of a black hole it is believed to be a singularity(all dimensions are zero) therefore there is no time, space, or matter..
However this is highly debatable becase despite of all the physics laws we have, we have never actually tested any of theese theories, and most of the laws we apply we have learned by observing things on earth..

but how can we "know" what "they" do when we don't even know what "they" are? 😕
I ain't getting in a HUGE debate over this so i am just gonna make my point k? 😄 We are just a tiny spec of the universe, a tiny spec of our galaxy even. If it was possible to make life here then why not elsewhere? There is life somewhere, we just don't know it cus its too far away to see or contact.
