Considering what we collectively did from 1950 to 2023 regards innovation, I would be likely be fundamentally in awe of what is ahead for the next 2-3 hundred years, provided we don't meet a large interstellar boulder head on,as there are laws that currently describe the result.

Natural laws pertaining to physics are not really "laws" discovered and put in place to be respected and unbroken, with consequences of not adhering to, but theorem, derived from countless observations, in an attempt to explain and put on paper what appears to be so.

We don't make laws for or of nature, we make statements to explain what we see, and if the statement holds up, it is then placed on a lofty pedestal as "the law" (Judge Dredd comes to mind!).

As our means of detection advance, we refine these theorems to fit what we see.

I submit, we have not seen all there is to see, and therefore should have an open mind to refine our laws as new observations are made.

If aliens exist here, now, and they show no harmful intent, It would literally be the experience of a lifetime to interact.

That's something both Graves has mentioned in interviews in relation to flight safety, that the new sensor tech info provided onboard our aircraft has revealed that these things aren't just present off the east coast, but persistent.

I hope you are right, I fear you are wrong.

If an alien spacecraft landed today, I fear scientists today would not accept the craft had technology beyond their capability to understand.

Plus, I think many in our government and around the world would take a hostile attitude toward any aliens that showed up in a spacecraft.

You’re 100% right, what we understand about our solar system, galaxy and universe is only a small fraction of how things really work.

If we do have alien spacecraft and biological beings, that would be the greatest scientific disclosure in human history, if true.
