If we consider how big the universe is there might be a message saying ‘Hello’ could be travelling through space on it’s way to earth. Just thinking about the idea of there might be other creatures out there – or as we call aliens- trying reach out to us gets me more curious about what might be there at the outer space. What if there is a more intelligent civilization in another galaxy? I know that this is the main topic of every cliche sci-fi movie. But if you think about it doesn’t seem impossible. The said intelligent civilization could be thinking that we are the aliens in this galaxy. Perhaps if the technology continues to evolve and improve as fast as it has been for past few years we are going to be able to find the answer of this question faster. At least faster than ‘The Matrix Theory’ .
But what will happen when or if we find the answers that we searched desperately for one hundreds of years. Are we going to send them a message that says; “We as the people of earth are not planning to bring any harm you guys uhm.. the people of your planet (?). Our goal is to be friends with you all and to have peace between two planets. Give us your answer as soon as you get this. Love other planet people.” because I do not think that would exactly work the way we wanted. Hell we might even accidentally break a war between the planets and that would not be very good. Though what if they found us first and decided to send us a message how long would it take us break the code and understand their language. What would they tell us ? I personally would like to think it would be only a friendly message but perhaps that is far away from the truth and way too much optimistic. They might even send us a message as an warning of the things they might do. Just a beforehand warning for us so that we would know when they would visit our world to make us their slaves.
Different scenario what if the people of our world who were alive millions of years ago were far more improved in technology that they decided to send groups of people to other planets for them to colonize there and see if there is any life other than them at that time. Then after the chosen people were send to the outer space the said technology caused a war to breakout and the war continued to the point where country destroyed each other completely. Which was the actual reason of ice-age and because the humanity have been completely destroyed the earth restarted the cycle of life on it. We might be reincarnation of the humans . We also might be repeating the history whilst the ‘war’ between the companies in technology while producing different products like chemical weapons, tanks, planes the AI’s and so on. Could the signal we received from outer space at 15 August 1977 ‘the signal WOW’ be a report those colonies are sending back to us. Stating the mission was a success and that they era waiting for further commands. It could be possible that the chosen people do not know about the war that broke out and they think whoever received their message is their grand-grand daughters and sons from their families that they left behind. perhaps their sons and daughters are the ones sending these messages.
In the end all of these are just mere theories without any proof to back them up. We have to wait and see what future has for us. In conclusion even if there is someone out there -aliens- we can not neither see them nor communicate with them with today’s technology we can only wait to see what time will bring to us whether it be an alien or not.
