Hey guys, what are your thoughts on the existence of extraterrestrial life and the potential involvement of governments in concealing or studying such entities.

    Extraterrestrial life = yes. It’s a big universe and the chances of us being the only life in the entire universe is slim.

    Aliens visiting us = no. For the same reason as above. It’s a big ass universe.

    Governments being able to hide aliens from us = lol no. If aliens had the tech to travel a million light years to visit us, they’d have taken over the planet in an hour.

      Lol Too long, 10 minutes?

      TBF, it took 2 minutes for aliens to be worshiped as “eye in the sky” in 3bp

        And that’s assuming they’re even interested in Earth. They’ll probably start by strip-mining Jupiter and/or building a Dyson swarm around the sun.
