Yeah, we're living much longer than in ye olde times...

correction to you. people used to live longer at the old times. nowadays the average human age is 80. people before used to age 100 even 120

check wikipedia if you wanna know.

Look:
Antiquity -> the Middle Ages -> the Renaissance -> Today
^50-60 -> 40-50 -> 50-60 -> 70-80 <Length of life

people before used to age 100 even 120

I don't believe it.
And we have to discuss about aliens

[snorsorbet]

To the aliens: It'd be good to know if they exist, but what are the advantages?

To quench the curiosity of people like me :P

No, seriously, it wouldn't be beneficial in any way except for having something interesting to look at, the aliens will probably be too far away to hold a sufficient dialogue anyway.

Aliens speak english in American films only

here is some crazy idea...
whut if the humans were rly the aliens after we exceed the technology...
afterall tht time our bodies must have evolved so we wouldn't look like humans
our technology might be sooo advanced tht we can supersede the speed of light and go back in time to ruin our past generations
which i know is impossible to do so because then time would repeat itself, forever...
lolz pretty ironic and chaotic right?

Yes, because English is the only mean of communicating
