lunda2222 , If you say so, but I have a board with a nail in it standing by, just in case.

Yes really.
Anybody coming here must be able to travel faster than light. And anybody travelling faster than light needs to be able to withstand faster than light collisions. Even a pebble colliding with anything near those speed would cause damage greater than any nuclear weapons we have. You know, when the railroad was invented, some believed that humans would not be able to withstand speeds in excess of 20 mph. In any case, there might be a faster way to get here, such as interdimensional travel. Or, the fastest way possible, in that they're here already and have been for thousands of years.

you think they'll spare us if we show nudes? Lets experiment. Pretend I'm the Aliens...

Even a pebble colliding with anything near those speed would cause damage greater than any nuclear weapons we have. But they won't be able to do that. Nothing can. A human sized object at near light speed would have a greater impact force than 2,000,000,000 Hiroshima bombs. They only way they get here is through going around physics because even ten times light speed is too slow to wage an interstellar war, because theres nothing within a hundred light years of us.

Anybody coming here must be able to travel faster than light. And anybody travelling faster than light needs to be able to withstand faster than light collisions. Even a pebble colliding with anything near those speed would cause damage greater than any nuclear weapons we have. 1. You know, when the railroad was invented, some believed that humans would not be able to withstand speeds in excess of 20 mph. 2. In any case, there might be a faster way to get here, such as interdimensional travel. 3. Or, the fastest way possible, in that they're here already and have been for thousands of years. 1. I'm aware.
2. Interdimensional travel means travelling between dimensions. That does not mean they would be able to reach between point A to point B within any one of those dimensions any faster. If you are going to the fictional part of science fiction, folding space is far more believable.
3. In which case they would either have the tech to be invisible from us, in which case we can't touch them or we would know about them by now.

Except for a planet that they might like. First off this planet may be perfect for us, that does not make it ideal or even hospitable to whatever aliens would come here. Is oxygen for example poison to them, or life giving?
Second it would be easier to terraform a planet to their specifications rather than to come here.
It might not be hospitable to them, but then again, it might be perfect for them. Hence the "might" in my prior post.

Not with our technological level anyway. But that's my point, if it would come to blows between us and whatever aliens we meet we might as well be throwing stones at them.
But why would it come to an interstellar war? We have absolutely nothing they would want.

Your reasoning is faulty, but I'm sure you're very proud of it, so I won't argue the point.
