Do you think it would be more likely that we'd get visited by aliens from a different world from this galaxy, or that we'd get visited from people/aliens f from a different version of our world from anotherr part of a multiverse?
Feel free to explain your option.
I haven't got my head round the size of this universe yet without plonking the multiverse on top! lol I'll stick with aliens from this universe.
I do however acknowledge what NDT said that the universe doesn't make only one of anything so why would it make only one universe?
In the words of Hitchhikers guide. The Universe is big. Really really big. You just wouldnt believe how big it is.
I would agree firstly..that it is highly likely that intelligent..and presumably highly advanced intelligent life exists somewhere out there...
Whether they wish to visit our backwater(or if we would want to encounter them) and how they could traverse the vast light years is a matter for speculation..
If they are from another sister Universe and have mastered utilising wormholes or some other unknown method of folding space/time..well who knows....
I think if we were visited by aliens from a different world, it would be the Anunnaki. They are the only ones I've ever heard about who came to earth.
I am inclined to agree if a visitation in the distant past were correct. The earliest references are Sumerian. Here is a link to Sumerian Mythology [sacred-texts.com] It is by Dr Samuel Kramer, one of the leading Assyriologists in the world. I must say I don't go with Sitchin's evaluation, however
@Geoffrey51 Are you saying that you agree that an alien race has visited earth in the past but perhaps did not create human beings?
@brentan No, I am saying that the Assyrian, therefore Sumerian mythology seems to have a more authentic feel than other contemporary mythologies which lean toward metaphor. I wouldn't say that I agree with visitation but, being agnostic I am open to further research lending more thought in that direction. Of all the cultures, Sumer was pretty advanced, spoke-wheeled chariots and writing ain't bad for a Bronze Age agrarian bunch
