Some of your critics say that you do that.

We'll get to them.

We'll get to them.

Okay.

No, I mean, I will die in a few decades.

What do you mean?

But my point is that perhaps they were born as biological creatures, but they modified their bodies in ways that would allow them survival in foreign territories.

So if I want to imagine them visiting us, I would...

imagine their bodies being more capable than ours.

Unlike science fiction movies that often have two eyes and so forth.

If you go to a crash site and you find debris and you find pilots that look like humans, it's probably humans.

So humans from the future.

Oh, that's an interesting possibility.

In fact, you know, if we look at Earth, there are a number of catastrophes that the Earth went through.

And you may ask yourself, was any of these catastrophes triggered by a technological civilization?

And of course, if it existed not long ago, we would still find computer terminals and archeological digs, you know, and- Satellites.

We would also find satellites because anything beyond the geosynchronous orbit would survive, doesn't have any friction on the Earth's atmosphere.

So, for example, the Romans, the Roman Empire, if they launched a satellite up to 1200 kilometers altitude,

These satellites would just be grinding their way down now.

We would see those satellites falling down to Earth now, and we would see, here is a Roman satellite.
