A thought experiment
« on: November 17, 2006, 11:48:27 PM »
An alien race, attracted by our radio transmissions, chooses a building at random on the Earth's surface to introduce themselves to the inhabitants.

They land at Tranquility Bay, Jamaica.

What happens next?

LOL.. all right, let's reverse the question.

Human explorers aim their see-through-walls telescope from orbit at an alien facility where they do the same thing to their young that is done at Tranquility Bay.

What does the human race determine about the aliens?

It's a trap - the signal is really a COUNTDOWN!

Well, there would be a massive riot most likely, and one of the aliens would be beaten to death, and it would start a intergalactic incient, and well, things go down hill before they get better.

I'm thinking there'd be two asteroid belts in our solar system by the time it was over.
