Then let me rephrase. Based on our observations of the known universe, and the vastness of said universe, and the statistical odds of life throughout that universe, the idea that FTL aliens would expend the energy necessary to visit us without first establishing a detectable

How much energy in joules does it take to travel a light year, going faster than light

A fucking magic space whale’s worth - either establish evidence they exist or work with what we know. That’s basic science.

Null hypothesis dude. I'm saying it's possible and we just don't know. YOU are making the definitive claims here

What part of “and I will gladly be proven wrong” are you not getting from this conversation? Science is making the best decisions with the information we have at the time, and then being willing to change our minds once new evidence presents itself.

"God exists, prove me wrong" "There's no way of proving that claim, it's reliant on assertions that can't be proven true or false" "Ah, so you can't prove me wrong, therefore I am right" oh for sure man

You’re the one arguing for the existence of God (FTL aliens) in this particular instance, so I’m not sure that’s exactly the argument you want to be making

You keep using that term, but I do not think it means what you think it means. The counter to the null hypothesis of “aliens aren’t visiting us” isn’t “but what if space whales,” it’s irrefutable proof that aliens are visiting us, in which case a new hypothesis is formed.

In the absence of irrefutable proof (of which blurry sensor readings on artifact prone machinery does not qualify), I am, again, quite comfortable in my assertation that it is not, in fact, aliens, and that furthermore, in the absence of proof that FTL capable lifeforms would

choose to show up in conveniently blurry recordings in a backwater planet of the galactic arm, with no system-wide evidence of said beings’ existence elsewhere, that space whales are fucking stupid.
