why do you think only those options would be available? LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 29/09/2011 08:35:53 PM
They certainly are possible, but why don't think think trade agreements, diplomacy, friendship, etc...etc... aren't possible? They may be hard and people may WANT something else, but that's everything in life.

Well just look at the history of Earth. And the cultural/advancement disparity would be FAR greater. *NM* Aeryn - 29/09/2011 08:58:52 PM 242 Views
Could be cultural domination. Vivien - 29/09/2011 09:32:18 PM 648 Views
*shrug* Humans aren't that bad LadyLorraine - 29/09/2011 09:51:32 PM 585 Views
Oh yes we are. Vivien - 29/09/2011 10:27:52 PM 665 Views
In one particular space opera, it's a mix and probably the best situation possible for humans. Vivien - 29/09/2011 10:21:42 PM 801 Views
Unless their advancement is so great they are VERY ethically enlightened, her fears seem valid. Joel - 30/09/2011 03:04:40 AM 699 Views

Why do fossil fuels have to be involved? LadyLorraine - 29/09/2011 08:33:26 PM 614 Views
Going into the fossil fuel vs wood thing Isaac - 29/09/2011 08:51:07 PM 700 Views
The big issue is energy density, IMHO. Joel - 30/09/2011 02:53:39 AM 757 Views
That's so perfect. Vivien - 30/09/2011 06:43:31 AM 660 Views
I still agree with the view they are unlikley to intentionally punish us. Joel - 30/09/2011 09:35:13 AM 665 Views
We really have no idea how rare advance technologies societies are random thoughts - 30/09/2011 02:00:56 PM 775 Views
That's a really good point. Vivien - 30/09/2011 04:34:28 PM 677 Views
The doomsdays options don't really hold up well though Isaac - 30/09/2011 05:22:57 PM 681 Views
I think we have different interpretations of "silence" Vivien - 30/09/2011 07:47:32 PM 833 Views
It kind of comes down to whether FTL is possible Isaac - 30/09/2011 09:12:32 PM 779 Views
hmmm random thoughts - 30/09/2011 07:51:42 PM 536 Views
Yeah but that's just a variant of "Highly advanced aliens who for some reason are totally stupid" Isaac - 30/09/2011 10:21:34 PM 781 Views
I didn't mean to imply that were not talking to us because they looked down on us random thoughts - 01/10/2011 01:07:02 AM 718 Views

thanks for the detailed answer random thoughts - 01/10/2011 03:08:48 PM 712 Views
No prob, hopefully it's not all inaccurate nonsense Isaac - 01/10/2011 03:18:05 PM 748 Views
not to mention that the universe is HUGE Yunalesca - 30/09/2011 07:53:33 PM 589 Views
True Isaac - 30/09/2011 10:37:58 PM 596 Views
of course I can't say, that was my point random thoughts - 30/09/2011 07:42:55 PM 652 Views
I was totally agreeing with you until I wasn't. Vivien - 30/09/2011 08:09:08 PM 765 Views
That's pessimistic, though. The "blaze of glory" is ongoing. Ghavrel - 01/10/2011 04:25:28 AM 622 Views
Re: If life formed, why might there not be fossil fuels equivalent to, or greater than, our own? *NM* Gaps - 01/10/2011 03:16:23 AM 322 Views
