He's on that space shit. This man thinks in time spans of millions of years and shit. He's a smart guy. These are his opinions, not predictions. "If we" is said a lot.
Thats how I learned about the whole, timing thing with aliens. Like to send a ship here would take like all the resources on earth and then some if it came from another galaxy. Like, that civilization would either be able to do it in the blink of an eye or it would be like a 10 generation effort to build the ship then another however many millions years to reach earth at sub light speeds. They may have evolved into something else by time they get to earth even.
Theres only like two reasons aliens would show up. They either need help or they wanna wipe us out. Like, if we were worth talking to and they had the capability of seeing us already, we would have been contacted. They would see us as ants. You gonna drop a cel phone into an ant mound and tell them to learn? Another problem is, like a civilization millions of years ago, could have sent out probes all over to replicate themselves and destroy potential threats. But they might have destroyed themselves, they are not even around anymore, forgot, or turned into something else. Eventually, those probes will take over their galaxy and shit and nobody will have even known where they come from.
So many things could happen. It would be the most important thing that ever happens to humans though.
Right now though, physics as we know them doesnt allow for traveling faster than light. Thats a HUGE hurdle. The spaces in space are just unimaginable. Nobody can imagine a light year or going around the earth 7 times in 1 second.
