I believe that the distances from other star systems is not too great to
be bridged, and that it is likely that aliens have visited us and perhaps are
even doing so in a regular basis.
We know too little about the universe, how it works, to exclude that
possibility. We can't yet unite the forces of nature. Try as we might, we
don't REALLY understand gravity, space, time, or what a vacuum really is.
Oh I believe in time, that understanding will come, but we do not have it,
on a physical level yet, on an intuitive one, I think there are some people
who do.
I say we shouldn't exclude the possibilities before we examine them.
Don't exclude the possibility of intersteller travel, or even intergalactic
travel, until we completely understand the nature of the universe. I do not
believe, that once we have that understanding, such travel will be ruled out.
In 1948, most people, with the exception of a few visionaries, would
have ruled out the possibility of man-made objects in orbit, 20 years later
we have men walking on the moon. I believe all things are possible, but for
those who won't grant me that, at least accept that there are possibilities
beyond what most of us even dream.
As our understanding progresses, I think the likelihood of alien
encounters also increases, both because we'll be "out there" more often, and
because we'll be emotionally more prepared to deal with something foreign to
our way of thinking, it will be a necessary adaptation for our long term
survival. Relatively advanced alien cultures will most likely be aware of
this.
Life is exciting, not knowing what new things await us around the corner!
