    Maybe things like 2D beings would already be here if they had height?

    Some string theory argues for 11 dimensions. Yes, it's weird.

    Not possible .

    Without height there is no depth .

    Without depth there is no possible manifestation of any physical things .

    Indeed .

    Mathematics can lead one astray .

    So, what does that mean?

    What I mean is that mathematics , while important , can lead to concepts that are not based on reality .

    2+2=4 . Yet mathematics , pure mathematics can not prove this . Yet in reality it is true .

    So, are you saying math can be wrong?

    :EDIT:


    And you know better than math?

    Mathematics proved it to its self .

    If anyone is going to remotely respect your intelligence, you have to come up with a better answer than that.

    You're the prosecutor, and mathematics is on trial in the stand.

    I have always been open to the notion of aliens having visited Earth and/or are still. However, it has conditions. For me to remain open about it it must be structured in the form of undetected. No wiggle room here. Either detected or undetected is possible, nothing in between.

    Detected to me requires evidence that is convincing (to me). I do not buy into Egyptian pyramids having been, "Ancient high tech power distribution or navigation centers" (ref, Ancient Aliens episodes). I actually do not believe any evidence of detection exists. No fragments or any traces within this planet convince me. Not Nazca Lines...nor Maya/Aztec/Inca writings or relics. Nothing...nada...zip. For me anyway.

    Undetected to me means possible. Who am I to say some advanced entity did not acquire the technology to remain undetected...in the past, present or future? Like a neutrino passes through our body every moment...so may they. Our ability to detect is only equal to our current, primitive in cosmos time scales, technology we have.

    So. I believe we have not been visited by any alien race who has allowed us the ability to detect their visit, period.

    Just my silly 2 cents!

    The claim that life on Earth is not unique to this fart arse little blue orb, is an an age old question that humanity has been looking for answers to for centuries. It is one of mankind's biggest unanswered questions, and as such requires extraordinary evidence to validate. Sure, Aliens may have visited Earth in the past, but we still lack any extraordinary evidence to support it...Sure some hillbilly may have been kidnapped and anal probed then left in some backwoods in a state of confusion, but as yet we do not have any extraordinary evidence to support that. Sure life most probably exists somewhere else in the universe simply due to the near infinite extent and content of the universe, and the stuff of life being everywhere we look, but as yet we do not have any extraordinary evidence to support or validate that.
    You are wise and correct in being skeptical of such things.
