Earth.
A 4.5 billion year old planet that has contained sentient life for around 500 million years,
but has only been home to humans for 66 million years.
Our planet is one of nine in our solar system, but one of 30 billion in our galaxy, the Milky
Way.
In observable space there are thought to be 100 billion galaxies alone..With our current
technology, we haven’t been able to observe all of space yet, in fact far from it.
The truth is, we can’t see too much and we also don’t have enough eyes looking...so
if aliens were coming towards earth...how long in advance would we know...would we even
know at all?
Hello and welcome back to Life’s Biggest Questions.
I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today I am asking What If Aliens Attacked?
EDITORS CLIP.
I am almost certain it will look something like that.
Lets here it for emperor aliens in ostentatious shiny red cloaks.
Before we get into this video...I want to know what you think aliens will look like?
Like the Mars Attacks hooligans?
Like the sugar guzzling nightmare from Men In Black....or something unimaginable and
uncomprehensible to our human brains?
I look forward to reading your comments in the comments section down below!
Also of course do stay tuned to the end where I’ll be reading your comments from a previous
video.

So....what if aliens attacked?
Oof.
Want the long version or the short version?
I am guessing you guys don’t have all day, or even all year...
sooo I’ll give you the medium version.... but the short answer would be panic panic...death
death.
Alien invasion is a common theme across science fiction film and literature, in which the
scenarios have been heavily theorized.
This, for example, is how it plays out in Mars Attacks...
EDITORS CLIP 2.
Annnnd this is how it happened in Independence Day CLIP 3.
Drama drama.
But is Ronald Emmerich’s vision legit?
Well, Professor Stephen Hawking, AKA the Brain of the 20th and early 21st century claimed
that If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America,
which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans.
One outcome is quick...lazer, blast, byeee... the other is a slow and steady massacre until
the earth is another outpost of...well...wherever the are coming from.
The only way to predict how an attack may go is to consider why aliens would want to
be aggressive with us in the first place... to me there seem to be three possibilities
a) the aliens are just aggressive and destructive beings, b) they feel threatened or are responding
to a threat from us, or c) they are looking to colonize earth because they either want
or need intergalactic real estate.
In scenario a), it could go down like Mars Attacks or the like as there likely would
be no reasoning with the aggressors.... but, totally basing this on the information I have
gathered in my earth brain, scenario b and c are the most likely.
Could we have accidentally invited an attack by our own intergalactic exploits?
It seems that right now we are working with lazer physics in order to attempt to send
objects into space at ten percent of the speed of light.
If something travelling that fast hit a celestial body, it could very much damage it.
If that was traced back to earth, well, we may have to answer for our own unwitting attack.
Perhaps an alien picks up the Voyager Golden Record sent out to space in 1974, perhaps
they mistake a message from the Queen of England as Whale Song?
Perhaps they think we are the ones about to attack?
Aliens likely aren’t going to understand humans and we arent likely to understand them...and
traditionally when people don’t understand one another, they fight.
Scenario C is also somewhat likely.
Our planet is old, but human life is comparatively young, and ever since we came to B, we have
tested our planets means to support our developing lifestyles and pushed earth to the brink.
We have almost run out of oil, we’re burning holes in the atmosphere, we’re polluting
the air, the ice caps are melting.
Other planets in the solar system may have developed intelligent life before we did,
and if that’s the case, perhaps they exhausted their planets even earlier than we did and
now need a new place to live, and they think earth is a good bet...perhaps they don’t
realize it’s infested with humans and other life forms?
Or, perhaps the great filter theory is legit and other civilizations have begun space travel
way earlier than us and are now at a point of space colonization... and earth is in a
good spot for their strategies?
In any given scenario with an aggressor I am sure earth would respond and do its best
to reason with the aliens, and if that didn’t work, fight them... but the scale of our response
would very much depend on whether or not we saw them coming.
In July 2019, scientists missed a massive asteroid that zoomed by earth – named 2019
OK, the asteroid shocked astronomers, with some claiming it came out of nowhere.
Alan Duffy of the Royal Institution of Australia claimed that the the 130 metre wide space
rock had been uncomfortably close to earth.
If the aggressors made a surprise attack, what could we really do to defend ourselves
right now?
I am sure that governments have a secret alien response strategy but would they actually
be ready to put it into practice!
Also, what would defending...
I am using air quotes... you just cant see me.... what would defending our planet really
even mean?
Nuking the aliens but killing and or poisoning our earthlings in the process?
Also... if we can’t yet function peacefully as a planet, what hope do we have in agreeing
on a method of retaliation to an extraterrestrial aggressor?
I would hope that the external threat would encourage earth peace... but I think, based
on past trends, that is wholly unrealistic.
Let’s be totally frank.
If aliens attacked right now, we have no chance.
NO CHANCE.
Sure, we have been to the moon....buttt that’s about it!
What haven’t even got a human to Mars yet.
Meanwhile these aliens are advanced enough to have travelled likely from a far flung
area of the galaxy and are poised and ready to attack us?
We haven’t been poised and ready to visit the moon for over 45 years...let alone travel
out of our own solar system.
If aliens can get here while we are going nowhere fast...
well....we’re kind of sitting ducks, right?
Also, if their technology is better than ours, I would imagine their weapons are too!
Better bow down to our new overlords!
A left field point to round out the video, but some people vehemently believe that aliens
have already attacked.
Some people believe that aliens visited earth some ten thousand years ago and run the planet
with a body of integrated hybrids...or something.
I haven’t spoken to a sceintologist recently, but I do believe they have some theory about
an alien overload called Xenu killing people in volcanoes or something?
So...you know...perhaps it already happened and we just don’t know about it.
So...throwing this open and out there!
What do you think?
Do you think aliens will attack?
How and why?
Do you think we can defend ourselves?
Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below.
Before I go I am going to read some Comments from
What if you trespassed on Area 51
Alejandro Rivera What if we could explore space colonize planets
and make a huge intergalactic Army?
Avery The Cuban – American What if you stormed Fort Knox
Christopher Cory : One suggestion: On the day of raid Just hanging
out with your friends and area 51 employees...watching the sky . Having a joint with tailgate bbq
. Tune into art bell radio.
Watching the u.f.o put out one hell of fireworks show...
Watching the first season of the x files.
Thank you guys for tuning into this video.
I am your host Rebecca Felgate, I’ll catch you in the next video, but until then, please
do stay curious, stay alert and never ever stop questioning.
