Are we alone in the universe?

 Doubt it, there are 100 billion stars in our galaxy, and about every 5 of them have planets orbiting them. And there are many galaxies, numbers become meaningless, and there are many that are thousands of times larger than the Milky Way. But it is big, the distances are enormous, but I think it is unlikely that only a tiny fraction of one of them has intelligent life on it, although I question whether humans are as intelligent as we think, then we had not polluted our thin atmosphere with carbon that warms the climate to a limit that will soon be irreversible, so we wipe out the basis of life on the planet, for what, that a few people should have enormous incomes. Meaningless. So I sincerely hope that we are not alone, because then the universe will be sterile for intelligent beings in a short time.

Which movie best portrayed aliens the way you imagined them?

 I love alien movies. Some of the very best I’ve seen are

  • Signs
  • Independence day
  • Edge of Tomorrow (This was simply brilliant)
  • Interstellar, etc

But I honestly think Oblivion has the most well thought out / realistic aliens (regardless of the movie's quality).

Here are some of the reasons why I think Oblivion has the best Aliens.

  • The universe is enormous - without wormholes, the ability for another being to travel the distance required to reach us seems absolutely impossible.
  • The universe is old, and humans are young - the likelihood of another civilization existing at the same time as us, is insanely low.
  • We are getting closer and closer to developing true AI. The likelihood of another civilization developing AI is reasonable.
  • So if the aliens from Oblivion, are just the end result of another civilization's AI - it makes perfect sense. Time is not an issue, and so neither is distance, by not being a living organism with a natural expiration date - they can survive forever, and travel any distance given enough resources (which in this case seems to be water).
  • "Alien AI" doesn't even attack us. It just sits and wait for us to send them (a scout mission) some dummies to study.
  • THEN, they blow up the fucking moon! This is just so brilliant! Screw invasion, let mother nature handle it. Losing the moon wipes out most of the population.
  • BUT WAIT, remember those dummies we sent them? Well they know exactly what the best weapon to kill humans is now - other humans. So boom, clone em, and send em back.

Its just unbelievably well thought out and is the most efficient attack + most rationally thought out "alien movie". As far as the aliens themselves go.

Lemme know what your comments are and what you think about Oblivion.
