Yeah , the aliens theory.
Hey I'm an scientific kind of guy , and yes aliens have to exist . Just not here , not now .
I also understand maths . The cost involved coming here would be big .
They would be here for a reason , we would know about it and it wouldn't be good for us .
I really should be sailing in winter instead of building a deck.
I think you are just applying logic from your frame of reference eg. maths and cost. I get what you mean (astrological distances, time etc), but who is to say that what ever other sentient beings out there aren't 1. semi-immortal, or at least ridiculous long lived, 2. so technologically advanced that the distance is trivial eg worm holes, 3. from parallel universe (multi verse theory) and thus not actually overcoming distance / time - just travelling between planes of existence 4. not flesh and blood like us... and there is an infinite number of other variations that might apply... think about that...infinite

yes, i read too much sci fi - but most of the good stuff is founded on the cutting edge physics being done. or written by ex-workers in these fields.
My view is when we considers these things, all our preconceived notions are pretty useless. I hope i see the physics "game changer" occur in my life time that revolutionises human existence - before we destroy the planet / ourselves etc.
note: on area51. the tin foil hat guys that push this stuff all reckon the original area 51 is now all privately owned, and that way US gov now has 100% deniability. the company slowly releases technology to the world that it developed from the UFOs, and hence market leads the world... that'stheir theory anyhow.
Can't remember what the ufo people are calling it, but there is another farm or something nearby where they relocated it. Easy to find on youechochambertube
