@johncarlosbaez Sorry but WE should be proud of our own technological and scientific development. An alien civilization arriving here after travelling light-years would laugh at our low understanding of the universe.

@johncarlosbaez I don't think you guys are actually reading my comments.

HUMANS can marvel at our own past and how we developed over time (acknowledging both our past amd present endeavours) but ALIENS (if they were able to come here, hence able to overcome light-years of distance) would not find us special at all because we're a very self-destructive species.
