Its simple If we meet highly intelligent life forms which we most likely will, then
we would communicate psychicly through feeling.
If we meet with lower life forms then best communication is done with pictures and symbolls.
Just think about how would you communicate with a person that does not speak your language or your culture.

no
no

dude you really have no concept of how these things work do ya. 99% chance that we will be able to communicate with whatever we find because there is honestly no telling how other life forms evolved. for all we know they might be a blob of goo or something like that.

ya but i personally wouldn't know how to explain that to someone with a different language on this planet let alone something with an even more complex language. hopefully when the time comes we'll be able to use some kind of device to do this.


Why do you assume they'd have a more complex language? Our older languages are actually our more complex ones, are you assuming they're inferior?

im assuming that they aren't even close to similar to us. humanoid aliens is just being silly. you honestly think verbal communication is going to be normal in all the of universe?

i wouldn't doubt that audible language isn't the most common communication method on our own planet

they most likley would put a probe on our moon and just vaguely watch us and wait until we become technology advanced to even began to slightly understand them,

atm it probably be like a human trying to explain to a ant what a cell phone is. them being the human and us being the ant,


they probably going to chill out until we reach the intelligence of a dog or a cat compared to a human


because a fact is, if they can travel here with in a decent time span then they are going to be thousands if not millions of years more advanced then us

humans will have practically nothing to offer any higher species other than possibly a food source. our nature is destructive and we are still largely moronic. there is not going to be a massively advanced civilization thats gonna care about what we think because we are always going to be doing something stupid on our own planet.

one + one = two

in alien, it might be cat + cat = elephant.

so math would not be a way to communicate imo.

Who's to say physics behave the same way in another galaxy?

Sound may be completely impossible in some worlds, making languages revolve around sight or even physical contact.
