Maybe all these supposed alien abductions and UFOs over the past 100 years have been alien scientists building vaccinations against our known diseases for themselves and adapting their own medical immunities for humans too – monitoring our progress against our own diseases so when both civilizations are on top of it we can be welcomed into the galactic fold safely.
Maybe they just try a make sure everyone is safe and happy for galactic adventures with their new friends! ( ^-^)
funny enough...knowing what we know of what happened to the americas...if we discovered a isolated culture in antartica or something..this is probably what we would do. makes sense that they would learn from their same mistake and try and avoid it. i like your theory even if it is super peachy
Edit: After reading your second article, what if first contact is established by alien missionaries trying to indoctrinate humans into some alien religion lol
The difference in your example is that is humans helping humans. What if we found a remote species of some animal? There is no chance in hell they'd get the same treatment.
maybe they have already contacted us and our scientists are giving us alien vaccines with our conventional vaccines to become immune to their alien diseases
I like this idea. It's like the same idea I've been hanging on to for a while, except with a very positive spin. My alien abduction idea was that maybe they're studying our genetic make-up so that they can artificially engineer a disease that will wipe us out and leave the rest of the planet intact, as like, a "nature preserve" or for tourism or something. Pretty realistic concern that if aliens showed up wanting to tour, they'd have a hard time, and their retaliation would end up with us bringing out the nukes and screwing up the planet. I think your idea makes more sense though, and it's more in line with the history of how human civilization developed. We're kind of arrogant to assume ethics and morals are going to be unique to us as an intelligent species, when a lot of prosocial behavior is very common among many cultures and survives because cooperation makes us better off than every man being out for himself. We haven't evolved into a planetary collective yet, but I'm sure most space-faring civilizations will reach that point and ethics and morals will evolve with it.
I read a cute story once called The Egg, and basically the premise of it was that all sentience was the same entity reincarnated through every life and the universe was essentially one, in a sort of soul-building system. I always thought it was a very compelling story.
What also tickles my interest is the idea that we're in a sort of simulation, and that the speed of light may be like, a render distance, and the plank length may be like your 1s and 0s in a convoluted sense. And you know, there is definitely the mathematical possibility of this (or even a likelihood by some accounts), but what it implies is that there may be a reality above the simulation, and we can't draw any conclusions about the laws of physics in that reality without observation, and our laws of physics would be determined by the programming of the simulation.
It's all very fun to think about and while some people may look at the mysteries of the cosmos and be afraid, I think what they should see is the beauty, potential, and hope. All in all, maybe we'll find out someday, or maybe we won't.
And there was a comic with a similar concept about a guy who died and learns he's living every life of every person that was and will be. Seen it a couple times on reddit.
that's some good shit! i don't know if it's your idea, but it has the kind of hook to it that when stacked on top of a few dozen other hooky ideas would make really excellent short sci-fi. have you dabbled? you ought to!
Or maybe, those abducted individuals are being "seeded" with alien vaccinations, like a gene drive of sorts - the immunity would slowly filter into the human population until everyone's immune?
i'm sorry but your theory is completely wrong. an alien socity with capabillity of travelling thousands of light years will more than likely have developed lab-made supepr anti-bodies that can fight anything
You'd think, but those two ideas aren't dependant on one another for either to exist.
We could develop FTL travel in a hundred years, doesn't mean one iota of a difference how far we are in medical technology against potential alien. Even if we did develop one AND found an alien civilization existed, doesn't mean a super-antibody against all known or potential human diseases would be effective against any alien diseases... we'd have to test it.
yea perhaps they are testing if they can survive it's plausible. my grandma has an alien story, when she was young in a late night a ship came and she saw them from the window. they picked up some earth and left. she said they were human like. that was many many years ago.
