like not aliens from blindside or a bunch of little gray bitches in saucers not even humanoids in generation ships or even aliens with language like just some dumb as gently caress non-sentient herd of beasts who can live in the vacuum and happened to enter the solar system. this is of course assuming they can live a long time it would be pretty funny though if aliens invaded and they were some real dumb motherfuckers instead of smart aliens like we expect

Living in a vacuum seems like a pretty tough requirement. I don't mean just survival like those little "water bear" things but growing and reproducing with no oxygen and temperature swings (sunlight) of hundreds of degrees.

I don't think space whales or space jellyfish can ever be a thing anywhere. Maybe there's some super specific region it's possible somewhere in the universe but they could never travel to a new star system. It's like, imagine sending a firework up into the air. Way way way up into the sky. Then in pops and you see all these pretty streamers of lights fall out from it. They're beautiful but they're so far up they'll go out long before they land. They're no risk that they'll catch fire and spread. Now imagine that instead of a streamer of light it's a space jellyfish and instead of being a couple of hundred metres away from life it's, like, billions and billions of miles. Nothing will ever reach us.

If they've been observing humanity for any length of time, it's a wonder that they even let us live. It shows remarkable restraint on their part that they haven't just incinerated the Earth before we could develop a way to travel to other planets.

A lot of the rest of the earth is pretty chill, though. Like, if they annihilated humans before we could spread our violent chimp genes throughout the galaxy, they'd probably have to destroy the peaceful capybara, the noble blobfish, the whimsical giraffe and a bunch of other cool animals, plus like what if we're the only place in the cosmos that has weed?

The great filter isn't life or even complex life, it's intelligent life. Life happened on earth relatively instant in hilariously bad conditions (constant bombardment fiery inferno). After that it took 4 billion loving years of evolution, thanks in part to a wonderfully stable host star, to get to humans which was probably essentially a miracle. Let alone being spacefaring (another 70,000 years) and thus worth a poo poo which is another miracle added onto that. wide stance fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Sep 6, 2016 |

wide stance posted:The great filter isn't life or even complex life, it's intelligent life. Life happened on earth relatively instant in hilariously bad conditions (constant bombardment fiery inferno). another issue with that argument is that it doesnt seem to take into account how basic our observation is. like for most of my life there were no confirmed planets outside of our solar system. but in the last decade or so we've discovered a huge number of them, and are discovering planets in habitable zones more frequently only in the last few years. which kind of emphasizes that we don't really know how rare or common "earthlike" or habitable planets actually are, we are just at the beginning of learning how to see them at all, and a very long way from being able to observe what is happening on them.
