First Contact
"First Contact" refers to the initial meeting between humans and extraterrestrial life. This concept is often explored in science fiction, where advanced civilizations encounter each other for the first time. The implications of such an event can range from peaceful communication to conflict, depending on the intentions of both parties.
In scientific discussions, SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) aims to detect signals from alien civilizations. Theories about Fermi Paradox explore why we have not yet encountered extraterrestrial life despite the vastness of the universe. Understanding the potential outcomes of first contact is crucial for preparing humanity for such an unprecedented event.
