If E.T. Exists, He’s Avoiding Us, Scientists Say

Math suggests there's no way advanced civilizations wouldn't know about us by now

Mathematically speaking, E.T. would have found us by now — if he exists — so we’re being consciously avoided for some reason, a new study concludes.

“We’re either alone, or they’re out there and leave us alone,” mathematician Thomas Hair, with Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, told Discovery News.

Hair, who presented his research at the Mathematical Association of America in Boston earlier this month, based his approximation of what he considered to be extremely conservative estimates for how long it would take a society to muster up the resources and technological know-how to leave its home world and travel to another star.

Even at the relatively sedate pace of 1 percent of light-speed, the aliens would arrive at their nearest neighbor star in about 500 years. (Light travels at about 186,000 miles per second.)

Figure another 500 years to build new ships, set out again, and so on and so on, and the calculations show that civilizations starting out from the oldest stars in our galaxy would have had epochs of time to reach us by now. So where are they?

  • It’s not so much that E.T. is avoiding us!! But more of planning when to arrive and kick some sense in to us!!

  • Don’t blame them.

  • I would think that if theirs a galactic community, we are definetly the ghetto neighborhood

  • Comment on why ETS do not visit

    Right at the moment I am working on the hidden texts of Nostradamus
    The subject is CQIN the year of the Dragon
    (which may well be a pun all on its own)

    In this forum I have been told to take care regarding the PALER CONTENT
    In other words – be cautious what I say and to whom. The reason for this being, that the
    Complete dates appear

    But it could be ANY YEAR OF THE DRAGON

    The MAJOR PROBLEM Earth faces right now is that our sun is about to throw a tantrum
    At the end of the year
    No need to accept it from just Nostradamus, this information is sitting somewhere on some scientist’s desk, I am sure
    There are two factions of Off Worlders who/which are involved

    One is alleviating the problem as best they can

    And the other is taking advantage of the entire scenario – these are those from Sirius
    (Prince of Dark men Nostradamus calls them in the ordinary quatrains)
    In one form; the Sirian SaLuSa is “channelling” – that is supposed to be other Worlders providing “assistance” by way of something called the ‘ascension’.
    These channellers are quoting personages naming themselves SaLuSa and ‘Commander’ Hatton claiming to be “doing god’s work”– which they are, just not quite the god we imagine – and can you envisage a “commander”
    Why do we all have to think in military terms and simply accept it?

    In the hidden texts, it seems that a couple of asteroids are being “sent” our way with the one purpose of guiding Earth off her orbit out of harm’s way.
    The effort is being made by the benevolent Off Worlders to create this transition piecemeal.
    Doing such a large job – moving Earth out of harm’s way – is a very large enterprise and one if attempted in an instantaneous manner, one would absolutely create the end of all things…

    This is not the intention at all
    I have almost completed this forum and it is consistent throughout

  • If you would like to meet people from other planets, I suggest you set that as your intention. It worked for me. Good Luck
