5 Scientific Facts That Shatter Your Image Of First Contact


Movies have taught you all about various alien encounter scenarios. After first contact, we'll either be invaded like in Independence Day, enslaved like in Falling Skies, enslave them like in District 9, enter into a golden age of shared information like in Star Trek: The Next Generation, or maybe just bone them like in the original Star Trek. But in reality, alien contact would look very different from what you've seen in pop culture. For example...

#5. Aliens Won't Look Like Us At All, Much Less Be Bone-Worthy

#4. We Probably Won't Even Be Able To Communicate With Them

#3. Alien Technology Will Most Likely Be Inconceivable To Us

#2. Our First Contact With Aliens Will Most Likely Be With Robots

#1. We Have Nothing To Worry About From Alien Diseases, And Vice Versa
