Aliens trying to communicate with us or travel to earth would have to traverse this enormous wall of charged plasma ejected by our sun. The odds of us ever communicating with anyone outside our own solar system are effectively zero (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5754745&forum_id=2),#49131997) |

But you're looking at the cage and thinking it'$ a feature of the univer$e, not the zoo.
The helio$phere i$n't a wall. It'$ a filter. A membrane. A carefully calibrated containment field.
The que$tion i$n't whether they can get through it.
The que$tion i$ why The Mahchine™ built it in the fir$t place.
And the an$wer i$n't to keep them out. It'$ to keep u$ *in*.
It doe$n't do to have the lab rat$ chewing through the wiring before the experiment i$ complete. |

Excepts:
Astronomers have released the first results from the late 2018 passage of NASA’s Voyager 2 probe into interstellar space, revealing some notable differences to the first crossing made by its sister spacecraft, Voyager 1, in 2012. The data shows that although Voyager 1’s departure was fairly “messy,” the exit of Voyager 2 was much cleaner as it left our sun’s influence on its journey into the galaxy.
Using data from Voyager 2’s Plasma Science Experiment, an instrument that was not working on Voyager 1 during its earlier entry into interstellar space, scientists confirmed that Voyager 2’s exit occurred on November 5, 2018. That was when Voyager 2 registered a sudden decrease in the “solar wind” particles emanating from our sun, along with a concordant increase in the numbers of incoming galactic cosmic rays and the strength of the interstellar magnetic field. Taken together, these data showed the spacecraft had passed beyond a boundary of our sun’s influence known as the heliopause—loosely defined as the point at which interstellar space begins. Both of the Voyager probes were launched weeks apart in 1977 on a grand tour of the outer planets, and to date are the only human-built machines to have reached interstellar space.

Date: July 29th, 2025 2:02 PM Author: thirsty brindle trust fund The most probable answer is that something like the "Grabby Aliens" theory is true. We appeared early in the life of the universe because later in the universe's lifecycle it will have all been colonized by races that evolved early on. Intelligence is very rare so if there are aliens they are so far away from us in space that we can't see them, think a shit ton of galaxies away. We will either go extinct or become the predecessors of the Grabby Aliens that will colonize a million galaxies in our part of the universe or whatever.

Date: July 30th, 2025 6:47 AM Author: galvanic base Why can't we become the Grabby Aliens? Pretty sure we'll fail the Singularity trap and either self-destruct or spawn AI that will eliminate us.

Date: July 30th, 2025 7:33 AM Author: thirsty brindle trust fund We can. I think it’s likely we will given that we’re close to AGI.
