Could we communucate with and/or meet aliens? I think most accept that the existence of aliens is statistically almost certain and that similarly, with current technology and understanding of physics, that any form of communucation is unlikely if not impossible. Now let's say we had warp 10 travel and comms and subspace etc etc, would we then be able to contact/communicate with aliens. Baring in mind at Warp 10 it would still take a month to get to the closest star. Naomi, your stage is set!

I have no idea what you mean, Geezer. My stage is set? For what? If Star Trek ever became a reality, then it would be a reality. What more do you expect me to say?

It's depressing to think of us traversing space doomed forever to shout "Helllllooooo ?" and getting no reply..............

welll Naomi, would we be able to communicate with aliens if star trek were a reality? I think the question is quite clear, you mentioned on Andyvon's thread that we don't know if one day star trek technology would be a reality, I'm just asking about the potential.

Geezer, if Star Trek became a reality, then surely the potential speaks for itself.

No, even at warp 10 comminucation is unlikely!

I think the more relevant question is would they want to communicate with us.... mind you they could join AB 'take me to your leader' then Ed bans them as Trolls

The telling phrase is ".........with current technology and understanding of physics".

Things change, or perhaps more correctly, things stay the same, but are newly discovered.

jack the real key point is, that even with star trek technology we would probably not be able to communicate.
