Even in our own “hometown” scientists have found the basic building blocks of life. So, with this being said, why hasn’t life, from somewhere in the universe, made contact with us? By taking a look at these 11 very popular ideas, we may understand why our planet is not having visitors.
Maybe extraterrestrials are just as scared of us as we are of them. The universe can be very dangerous and so can alien life forms. Maybe they haven’t come knocking because they are scared out of their wits.
In fact, somewhere in space, there may be an intelligent race just waiting to lay down the law. This is called the Prime Directive Effect. If they do not like what we are doing, they could well have the ability to wipe us from existence. If there is a SAI (super intelligence) then the whole galaxy could be in trouble. These beings may be positioned among the stars, away from any probing eyes of technology.
Although we do practice Active SETI (deliberate transmission of high-powered radio signals), we have decided to start listening more. If other beings in the universe have made the same decisions, then our intentions are running parallel. This may be the answer to little contact in the past and it may be the outcome for quite some time in the future.
There could possibly be way too much going in their own galaxy to bother with others. If technology is so far advanced with these civilizations, supercomputers and simulated universes could be all the rage. In this case, who cares about a few monkeys on a blue ball?
The reason for this speculation is purely based on artificial intelligence. Machine-based civilizations and massive computers will tend to overheat in warmer areas of the galaxy, and we all know that the further we travel outward, the cooler it gets. The outer rims would be perfect for intelligent advanced life forms.
The idea of Panspermia suggests that aliens are our ancestors and have no need to return to their seeding grounds. This is a very sound and interesting theory.
Due to this frequency, intelligent life is continually being wiped out. The good news is that gamma ray burst frequency is slowing down, so it is possible that there will be a vast increase in intelligent life.
While we are utilizing the communication tactics that we are familiar with, they will be doing the same thing-probably. In fact, they could actually be using laser lights to try and make contact with signals. Intelligent life may also be using electromagnetic or gravitational signals, and language that is beyond our understanding of physics.
We could actually be a computer simulation of what we see as life. Everything around us could just be an advanced computer program monitored by our creator. This creator could be experimenting with us because, maybe, just maybe, they do not understand where they came from either.
Here on earth, we keep animals in cages and visit them on special occasions. To other beings, we could be the entertainment instead. Aliens could be observing us, as if we were caged beasts, primitive in language and with dangerous intentions.
To us, being made from muscle and bone seems normal. To other life forms, being made from “meat” could be very strange, even to the point of frightening aliens and keeping them away from our civilizations. Author Terry Bisson wrote a short story called “They’re made out of Meat”, which sheds light on how we must appear to alien life forms who are made of quite different materials.
These speculations are called the Fermi Paradox. If there is extraterrestrial life, where is it? As old as the universe may be, why hasn’t someone or something come to visit us?
Scientists really have no answer to this question and it doesn’t make any sense at all. Since science cannot tell us for certain why these beings aren’t making a house call, then we can come up with our own explanations. There will be more explanations, as long as they keep their distances. If not, who knows what will occur.

"Scientists really have no answer to this question and it doesn’t make any sense at all"...so u r kidding right...what scientists,all major scientists working for Govs. and meanstream science is just bunch of crap,and these scientists know that they talking shit,but who cares about truth give me money and ppl will accept it anyway whatever u said ppl without education,critical thinking,asking,wondering r so fucked up by the whole fake system staying on the same spot and satisfied in silence...Extraterrestrials r already here since 1950's and what ppl think that those being will make scenario same as in the movies...would u take seriously chimps,I don't think so...well in this case we r not chimps but chickens...those races from deep space and other dimensions r million+ yrs advanced than we r,and we r just as kids in their views...'kids'who don't act and behave naturally as humans should...killing each other,make pain to each other,make illussion that we r different,but we r all one kind,we r humanity but personally think that we r very very sick mentally as species as a civilization...or maybe some huge error is in our DNA genomes...r we deserve to have visitors(teachers with true knowledge) we r deserve to be only wipe out...such arrogant,violent beings,in ignorance,but we think for self that we r masters of the universe,that we r so special,important,center of the Universe,and all of this is real illusion at work,we r just little drop in the endless ocean which is full of life
You are right.
When I was reading your comment, the thing I kept thinking about was cancer. Just as I believe there is also a cure for cancer and the govt just doesn't want us to know. Now, the reasons for this are different, I am sure, but they are extremely similar. There are so many things that I truly believe are hidden from us...and honestly, that is childish as well.
Yes, we are a small grain of sand on the beach, and yet our balls are big as mountains. It's presumptuous of us to think we are powerful in that aspect.
Achtung. DD ACHTUNG!
Haha, thanks for reading, Otto
I believe there is a more important reason they are not revealing themselves to us. Here is why: In the same way our scientists observe wild animal species and natural ecosystems without altering them to ensure they evolve unmolested; so extraterrestrials may be careful to observe us and our planet in a way that will not alter our natural evolution as human beings. It is apparent to me from the evidence that our planet has been visited in a very careful - but not completely perfect - way by extraterrestrials for thousands of years. And it appears we are at last beginning to "wise up" to their existence - these Watchers. But they may believe we have not sufficiently evolved to the point where we can deal with the mind-blowing reality that would certainly enter into our brains when they finally decide to fully reveal themselves to us. Yet, they probably see how we are currently interfering with and damaging our own planet's evolution. They may even be worried we may try to destroy them out of our own fear and ignorance if they suddenly revealed themselves. But if we continue to destroy the world and ourselves - as it appears we might do someday - I hope they will try to prevent that from happening. At worst, they may decide to continue to watch us like some lab experiment as we destroy ourselves. But as a Christian, I am not cynical enough to believe that they (or the powers that be) would idly stand by and watch it happen. Perhaps Christ himself will suddenly appear in a UFO with angel-aliens from some other dimension to prevent the Armageddon the ancient ones have been warning us about since the dawn of human history.
We are rather primitive compared to the beings who created the pyramids and other monuments if, in fact, they did. When you compare us to animals in the zoo it makes perfect sense. Notice how the animals can see us, but there are barriers between. Maybe this is why we have sightings but never able to come into contact. Maybe they have placed a barrier between because, as you said, they could possibly be a tad bit frightened of our arrogant and instinctual nature to destroy ourselves and anyone who we think threatens us. Whew, that was long-winded.
Now, take those who claim they have been "abducted", maybe they are chosen by their abilities to accept such a contact. Maybe they are superior in ways, and I think television, books, and media attempts to get this message across. And the experiments, YES! lab rats! I get it!
And then I go back to Chariots of the Gods and maybe this is my answer after all. Maybe they are our Gods and maybe this is what we have.
Permit me to begin by saying that as an 84-year old scientist with 20-years experience with a remarkable séance group I have learnt much and had the opportunity to converse with extraterrestrials.
The general belief that ETs exist is correct, while the assumption that they have NOT visited Earth is incorrect. The plain fact is that ETs having the ability to visit are more advanced than us in that their science is a ‘material plus spiritual’ pursuit while our mainstream science is just ‘material’ without recognizing the spiritual basis of existence. This has to change. The SETI project has failed because ETs do not use electromagnetic / radio communication on account of it being far too slow, with impossible language difficulty and there being much better methods available. These include:
(1) Mind-linked mediums supported by séance groups on different planets. The biological computer called ‘brain’ can download thought-behind-words to its known language, so there is no language barrier. And communications are instantaneous from ANY distance.
(2) Mind projection of a medium supported by a séance group; without a séance group on Earth to receive. The mind can be present in Earth location and is able to observe what goes on. And it is clear that one who frequently links with our séance group is sometimes in our room beforehand and knows what has already transpired.
(3) Visits using spaceships. Such visitors in the past have required energy to support themselves whilst here and to assist launch of their ship for return journey. They have therefore always built a pyramid as their first task, to produce that energy. The pyramids and the energy that they still produce are of course one class of evidence of their visits. Examples are the Giza pyramids (12,000 years ago) and the considerably larger Bosnian pyramids (30,000 years ago, with radiocarbon dating).
(4) Apport. Humanoid beings with wide heads and 3-fingered hands from a planet they call ‘Crogaria’ introduced themselves to Anasazi who inscribed their images on the Atlatl Rock, Valley of Fire, Nevada Desert.
(5) Beings with UFOs (de-materializable spaceships) that try to communicate with humanity by means of crop circles. Genuine crop circles have residual energy that identifies with the ‘pyramid energy’—that same energy is utilized in their making.
These are the facts, but so long as our mainstream science ignores the spiritual basis of life, it will not understand and silly ignorant people will poke fun. There are beings of good intention out there who respect planetary living, understand it far better than humans and know as much about our planet as we do. They will make themselves known when the time is right and that will be later THIS CENTURY.
There is so much here that I am drawn in. I am sorry if I am still a skeptic of some of these things, but I guess I haven't experienced enough to understand. The truth is, if you really think about what you have said, it does make sense. And honestly, the pyramids don't make near as much sense with human beings building them alone. Those stones were too heavy and so were the creations on Easter Island.
I do think we as a human race are missing so much about the truth. You may be onto something. And again, I am sorry if I doubt you. I am just kind of hard to convince at times, and yet, open-minded at other times. I can tell you this, I do 100% believe that there are many spiritual and otherworldly things that exist despite what others say. I am positive that there is something out there besides us. Why on earth, of all the planets and solar systems would we be the only creature? That's pretty egotistic of us, isn't it?
Keep sharing these facts with us. Maybe more people will come out of their boxes and see things they've never seen before.
or .... the kind of extraterrestrials that you are talking about don't come for visit because ...... they don't exist
The thing is, we aren't alone. Scientists have proven this. Now, in what form they exist, I am not sure.
