I have no proof of what I'm about to say nor am I saying I believe this with any degree of certainty. This is merely a thought experiment that came about after watching and reading all about the UAP's the US military has seen. Prior to these official sources I would have walked away from anyone who said they had either seen or been abducted by aliens, I am sorry to say. Now, on the other hand, I don't know what to believe anymore. Part of me believes that these things must have a terrestrial explanation. Perhaps a new type of technology us civilians aren't aware of. But the more I learn about these phenomenon, the less certain I am of anything. Now I don't even discount eye witness accounts since these things apparently are actually out there.
Hypothesis:
What if Aliens are in fact here and much like us they are curious beings? perhaps they are studying us and all other life forms on this planet.
How did this idea come about?
Have you ever watched a National Geographic documentary ? What is it that us humans do when studying animals ?
We go where they are, we sit and wait for them to appear, we observe, take notes, maybe even take a few pictures and videos but most importantly WE NEVER INTERFERE.
It seems to be an unwritten rule that if you are a photographer or scientist studying animals or simply taking pictures and videos you do not save the gazelle from the lioness. You don't stop the Orca from killing the cute sealion. You don't stop the Chameleon from eating the fly. You are supposed to let nature take it's course. How else would you learn what happens in nature ? The only way to be certain is to let things happen as if you weren't there.
Well, I know you know where I'm going with this but let's take it a step further first.
Imagine that Mars was teeming with microbial life. Imagine it looked like earth did billions of years ago, liquid Oceans of H2O full of unicellular organisms. Suppose we had all the time in the world too. Perhaps we have extended our lives artificially to millions of years (whether biologically or by uploading our consciousness to the digital realm) or maybe we have harnessed the skill of extreme long term planning. Point being, imagine that scientists from earth, having discovered microbial life (carbon based or otherwise) on an earth like planet still in the unicellular phase and with no indication of anything more advanced than that, decided to study the evolution of these organisms and see what happens.
How long until unicellular organisms turn into multicellular ones?
How long until animals and plants start showing up?
What kind of animal becomes the 'Top Dog' of the planet?
How long until the next 'Top Dog' comes along?
How long until 'intelligent' life forms arise, if at all?
We would likely send something like a Mars-Rover but more advanced. Perhaps it's operated by an AI.
or maybe even by humans.
In any case, we would have something there and we would observe, take notes and most importantly we would not interfere.
If an intelligent life form did arise we would have to start being more careful about hiding and making sure they didn't know we were there. maybe they develop weapons and have wars. This would be very interesting not only from a biological standpoint but also a sociological one as we would be able to observe exactly everything that happened and then see how later generations interpreted these past events. How much information is lost over the centuries? How much propaganda is in the history books vs reality? etc...
What if Aliens came here millions or even billions of years ago to study evolution?
Maybe many such expeditions exist throughout the universe/multiverse and they intend on comparing notes eventually or are doing so continually to see if evolution takes different courses in different places or if it has a variety of mechanisms of coming about. I'm referring specifically to natural selection. i.e. is natural selection the only mechanism by which evolution occurs?
Is it the case that only creatures with 2 arms and 2 legs who have opposable thumbs can ever become truly intelligent? is that why aliens supposedly always look humanoid? or are there many more types of intelligent life forms that are out there or even here?
Are they here simply to observe until we destroy ourselves, and/or all life on the planet ceases to exist, like the researcher who walks away after the gazelle is consumed and the pride have groomed and cleaned each other?
TL;DR
Are alien scientists here on earth to study evolution on other planets?
