VectorSigma posted:the spacetime warp of a planetary gravity well is negligible if you can already drive mass to relativistic speed for interstellar travel - just collect all your poop for the whole journey and release it before your deceleration impulse so millions of tons of feces impact the moon at .58c and whatever remains of the human race carries genetic memory of how much they got owned just in time for you to show up. I'm pretty sure aliens will be tiny as gently caress, like, we're giants compared to them.

all the rocky planets in our solar system are smaller than earth, our brain meat totally is size inefficent (computers are much smarter and smaller) smaller aliens means they can go faster (smaller space ships) the evidence is there im presupposing that the aliens come and visit US

it would be loving awesome if like, suddenly there were 1000s of new stars, the braking burn of a massive fleet of alien ships. we only can see their burn plooms from this far out but we know its a massive fleet. And we know exactly when they will show up based on their deceleration curves: 2190. we have almost 200 years to get ready for whatever the gently caress it is. At night the blue glow from their engines is bright enough to see with the naked eye.

or, another scenario earth's neutrino detectors go nuts, receiving some sort of binary code, on off on off 01011100101110111010001010 the data is recorded even though the neutrino scientists are pissed that someone is loving up their experiments. the stream of neutrinos seem to come from the core of the milky way scientists around the world get to work cracking the code, years go by with zero progress decoding whatever it is, the public loses interest quickly the transmission ends we still don't know whatever the gently caress

i also think that there could be viruses zooming around the universe, some sort of signal that makes lifeforms want to build radio telescopes and rebroadcast the signal until the universe is singing the same hymn and whoever is running the sim gets pissed off and shuts us down

imo HMV shouldn't have had ANY useful side effects whatsoever. i thought the frogs eggs spoiled the core message of the book. if you get magic alien tech outta a alien transmission then damnit you got something useful outta it

HMV is also not a first contact story. its a prolix story about prolix as gently caress bureaucratzy. HMV could have been written about (prolix) hieroglyphics found deep underwater, or a new (extra prolix) technology.

mysterious frankie posted:Imagine Trump trying to impress aliens with various boasts about gold buildings and voter turnout. They're all like, "We traveled countless light years to sp-" and then he cuts them off to tell them about how he has a golf course in Scotland, and it's the best. i think ive seen this anime

She did dress very science fictiony. And she can't describe why she wants to run. She has a fanatical circle of insiders. Support of the American Deep State, and the Soroses of the world.
