If there are aliens, what will they look like?

[Thall303]

I sometimes wonder why aliens seem to always gravitate to local WalMarts?

There are very few youtube vids that make me think WTF. This still has me a bit wondering. It comes out of left field, but the logic is sound. At least I can't figure a counter argument. It applies to aliens in a tangential way. It also speaks that what we know, isn't so certain.

Geezers dude! The moon DOES rotate! About once every 27 days.

Sometimes I can't keep the made up science straight. Abra Cadabra! Gravity!

Got an answer to the Gravitational constant that I asked earlier?

Sometimes I wonder if someone is trolling for laughs or actually believes what they say.

Rarely do I hope they are trolling, but there are occasions.

Nah, a troll would try to take over a thread and make it about him, her, or whatever gender aliens are.

Gravity is something that we have not yet figured out. We know how it works, but we don't know why it works. We can calculate to near perfect precision how to use it. This is science. Its useful. The why, still eludes us as to what gravity is. It may take 20 years to figure it out, or it may take 1,000 years to figure it out. The thing is, science mostly doesn't stop trying to figure out things. Other belief systems just say... its this thing. Period.. And one may adopt those rules and live a perfectly happy life. Yet being a scientist, one is always questioning, always in a sense of wonderment of what we don't know. I've chosen that life over superstition. It is at times painful, as there are few social structures to support scientists, still, after a thousand of years of theism, those communities are still there and don't wish to change even though the technology available has changed - radically.

This is one reason why we have wars.

If we ever did have aliens arrive on Earth as something recognizable, it would politically/religiously tear this planet apart. And being smarter than us, they would just let it happen or maybe even instigate a few things to their advantage.

It might be a usual thing to them. Been there, done that, and no more of a second thought than us setting ant traps.

Sure seems like like it a lot, doesn't it?

I get those responses fairly frequently. When people refuse to engage in civil discourse because they have their beliefs challenged.
Remember, I was where you were at until I engaged honestly our conception of the universe.

....UH...better take a closer look and realize exactly whom it is that is having their "beliefs" challenged...LoL...
LoL...

[edit]
Also...anyone that has to use the word "belief" to make their points has marginal if any credibility...
