If aliens could teach Earth they would need to harness the power of their parent star and somehow overcome the issues with near light speed travel. The energy requirements render it impossible.

Hellfire, if they did come by they’d probably lock their doors and take off!

“If aliens could teach Earth they would need to harness the power of their parent star and somehow overcome the issues with near light speed travel. The energy requirements render it impossible.”

God kept us in separated sheep pens for good reason. I do believe aliens exist given the ridiculous amount of life we find in the deep oceans. God loves to create life.

Given the distances between stars any alien technology that reaches us would likely be probes, machines, androids. An advanced civilization could adapt their home star system to their needs. Stars last a long time.

Having said all that it’s possible our government has found alien probe materials but I would be surprised if they could do much with it if it was advanced enough to reach us. Interesting to ponder.

Actually they would need to harness power of the entire Universe. Currently we use the power of repulsion to travel. It can only provide energy from one source. What we need to do is learn how to use the force of attraction. It draws upon the energy of the whole Universe.

and somehow overcome the issues with near light speed travel

In order to travel the speed of light or FTL, one need only to use the equation made famous by Einstein. An object can go FTL as long as it's mass is zero. Ghosts, for instance, can travel FTL.

You don’t break the laws of physics you bend them.
