I wonder how many people it took to make this in the dead of night.

Or, how many Treeducks?

Wow, that's amazing!

You don't like the Drake Equation?

 

 

 

Even if they were out there, how would they know we're here? Not to mention the fact that it would take an interminable amount of time for them to get here.

 

Anyway, people who think crop circles are made by extraterrestrials are just nuts!

A bit more than a lifetime...

 

The Voyager spacecraft is traveling away from the Sun at a rate of 17.3 km/s. If Voyager were to travel to the center of our Galaxy, it would take more than 450,000,000 years to travel the 8 kpc. If it could travel at the speed of light, an impossibility due to Special Relativity, it would still take over 26,000 years to arrive!

 

At 17.3 km/s, it would take Voyager over 1,700,000,000 years to traverse the entire length of the Milky Way Galaxy. Even traveling at the speed of light, it would take nearly a hundred thousand years!

Humans are pretty smart. They are. They come up with any number of wild and complex explanations to reason away things they can't understand because they're unwilling to accept the possibility that something might exist beyond their ability to rationally conceptualize. In this they are very intelligent and highly adept. It's actually quite astounding.

This is of course assuming that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, because of course nothing can exist that can't be proven scientifically with the information we presently have at hand. The world is still flat, just as scientists have always believed based on the unchanging information that has always existed.

Considering the Milky Way is 100,000 light years across, we probably shouldn't concern ourselves with being visited --unless they know something about the laws of physics we don't?!   There has been a lot of criticism of the Drake Equation. It makes far too many assumptions.
