Isn't it pompous and arrogant of some modern day scientists and intellectuals to think, just because our generation knows a little more about the universe and how it works, that alien forms of life or other intelligent life would want to exclusively communicate with those who understand the universe a little more, and perhaps only within a parochial framework of knowledge. <br>Perhaps intelligent life has already been in communication with humans. How could it possibly happen ? Perhaps they select certain individuals to communicate with and not broadcast their communications.<br><br> Suppose such individuals come out today and say we have had communications with other intelligent life. What would be the reaction of those scientists, intellectuals and many other people when such claims are made ? I think they would ridicule such claimants as mad and would not entertain their claims for one second.<br>Exactly how would you expect intelligent  aliens to communicate with organisms who use language as a means of communication ? <br><br>Doesn't it make sense that they would use language as a means of communication? If they are more intelligent than us then they can decode our languages. If Google can do it, they surely can !!! <br><br>Now go search for those who made such claims and investigate their claims. That would be a far less expensive and more useful exercise. Set some credible criteria for what you expect such claims of communications to contain, predict, describe etc etc.<br><br>Are we not intelligent enough to come up with a set of criteria to evaluate such alien  communications ???
