What would be the most efficient way of making aliens aware of our presence?

Carve a giant dick into the dark side of the moon.
If you could build a partial dyson sphere/swarm you could cause some very peculiar occultations that would make the sun stand out from other stars.
Sort of like the kerfuffle with Tabby's Star not so long ago.
Any signal you try to send from earth would need to be super powerful and omni directional to not just turn into white noise over stellar distances.

Do you realize that only 100 years ago we didn't know other galaxies existed? If an alien civilization gets into that phase, where it can start to do more accurate observations of the universe, identifying absoluetely every single planet in its home galaxy that has biomarkers in its atmosphere is just a few centuries down the road.

>Whats the most efficient way to make aliens aware of our presence

•Blow up as many stars as possible

•Send taliban with suicide vests in every direction

•Compacting a Trojan horse with c4 and launching it into space

•Catapult a colony of mosquitoes
You can’t mistake evil as just nature so they’ll know of our existence.

Maybe a few large simple structures to occlude the light in a certain pattern that could indicate life is here close to the Sun so it can send out the message often. Also it would need to change so they dont think its simple asteroids in the same pattern over and over. but not something as resource expensive a a Dyson Sphere as anon said here >>10108359

Ideally you'd be using your dyson swarm for something practical besides just contacting ayy lmaos, that would just be icing on the cake.
The benefit from something (partially) encircling the sun vs a bunch of shades in orbit is that now a distant observer will not need to be on the same plane to see your sun-powered light house beacon.

Depends, what kind of aliens? The simplest microbes can't be aware of our presence and the most technologically advanced species likely knew of our existence long before we existed.

aliens already know we're here and I doubt they really care to any serious extent. it's like how western countries treated tribals during the 20th century. until we leave the solar system, there's no real point to contact. everything we have is already theirs.

Except a habitable planet. Now you may say "well they can just build habitats as many as they want". But a habitat is commonplace and uninteresting. A habitable planet is one of the few remaining things that cannot be manufactured in bulk and it therefore has value for its sheer rarity and authenticity. They would invade here just for the tourism potential.

We should not make aliens aware of our presence! Any signal would probably detected by a more advanced civilisation. Ask some Africans or native Americans how it feels to be colonized.

>Can bridge the gap between stars

Cultural suicide is the bigger concern more than colonization, but I think even that goes contrary to the base drives of the human spirit, but that's a nonscientific belief I have.

[Anonymous No.10110714]

Most people think in a really selfish way regarding first contact and other alien civilization intents.
>they might colonize us!
We are not in Earth, interstellar space is INFINITELY more vast, with thousands of unhabited celestial bodies ready to be colonized or mined. Imagine, if humanity were capable of interstellar travel and colonization, and we stumble upon some developing minor civilization, knowing how rare how intelligent life is, would we brainlessly destroy it like a homo-erectus? Or would we research it, observe it from afar like they were a little ant colony?.
>They might be interested in some of our resources
The only rare thing Earth has is intelligent life, any other element can be found in hundred of thousands of different rocky planets, asteroids and gas giants. there's not need for them to destroy Earth for resources.
>they might destroy us because we pose a threat to them
nigga we wouldn't even pose a threat to an intelligent civilization living in Mars, we can barely send some 2 tons probes to explore our solar system, each trip taking decades. We are centuries from posing a threat to interstellar civs, besides, if technological progress is logarithmic, if they were to find us now, by the time we are able to reach other stars they would be gods to us, harnessing energy from black holes or most likely they'll be a type 2 civ.

watching less tv and listening to less radio. The more you involve the mind the more it looks to involve the body and that means that it involves more of the cortex and eventually capitualtes to include that all matter may not be enough yet. TV and radio circulate frequencies between a very tight cage system. It doesnt regard space time just a linear notion, and so it cannot properly adjust to vary our states of being into modular states over the course of a lapse in memory if it cannot even function to regulate gestures and even facets of personality or simple organ function. Its a mental state versus mentally stated kind of thing amd most people only care about themselves anyway so its not like these things come up out of weird talks with weird people and tgose weird people usually only respond after youve given them sonething. Fish helps reduce regulation and chicken makes it softer and more tender to let you bring up more water as it realizes new advents of the cleanliness we regard our health to.

We're never going to find aliens, and they're never going to find us. Intelligent life is probably pretty rare. We've yet to find life anywhere else, yet we're supposed to find life intelligent enough to transmit any sort of message between stars? And their civilization needs to exist synchronously with ours? Please, Civilization has only been around for 10,000 years, advanced civilization only 100, and many sociologists believe civilization will only last for 100,000 more years at most.

The universe is too big, and everything is too far away. The best we'll ever hope for is one of our signals reaches an alien in time for them to interpret it, or some miracle signal hits us from the distant past and we can somehow interpret it.

What is the greatest threat to civilization? Overpopulation? That's a problem that fixes itself. Terrorism? The biggest terrorist attack in history killed 3,000 people, not even a drop in the water. War? Someone will win, and that civilization will thrive. Global Warming? Same as overpopulation, it's a problem that fixes itself, people will die, but society will continue.

That all being said, it's very silly to think that humanity has it all figured out and we'll live on forever. Very unlikely, something will end us within the next 100,000 years, or at least set our society back a few pegs.

[Anonymous No.10112652]

That's silly, though. It assumes all sorts of things about how aliums would process an image, what their representative arts would look like, that they'd know the images are supposed to be us and not the gods or something, that they'd know the images were us and not the line of circles at the bottom, etc.
