It would seem, again based on (monetary) ROI, any (military) ROI RE Earth for "Aliens", that unaliened probes, with enhancements thru advanced technologies, would be most cost effective for basic research. Aliened probes, like anything we are working on, would only be needed for colonization or direct intentional contact.

Why wouldn't Aliens want to make formal contact? Would that not be the obvious process? The only reason I could see for not doing so would be based around the concept of not interferring with "Alien" (us) civilization. But if we found intellegent life with-in our travel access area, we'd jump at the chance to make direct contact. Why would other society's not do the same?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
