I want to explain why it's important that we never should try to make contact with other beings, despite every fantasy aspect of the cosmos I wish I could believe. Alien beings who can reach our planet would be nomads; they would be a group of beings whose sole purpose is to move, gather, and leave barren. If such a race were to come, they would probably disregard us, consume all they needed and move on to the next planet. This is not only terrifying but, according to Stephen Hawking, logical truth. Secondly, when Christopher Columbus landed in the Americas, do you think he asked questions to or tried to communicate with the lizards and insects and small animals that were running around? This may sound funny and perhaps dumb but it's exactly the mode of thinking these aliens would have. We would be the insignificant creatures. They probably wouldn't bother asking us any questions--we'd be like the strange, never before seen lizards that Columbus simply stepped on, despite crossing the "threshold" of the imaginary "flat world" and landing in a "whole new world". As far as he was concerned, Columbus was on another planet, in another world. Of course alien life exists, but we probably should never meet it.
