I'd agree with you there, but then you'd think they'd add an AI, which contridicts what you were trying to say before.But you suggest that perhaps the probe wasn't fitted with sensors at all. While that's certainly a possibility, it stretches belief a bit that someone would go through all the trouble and expense of creating such a device and send it off without any way of detecting objects that my cross its path
Your conclusion is incorrectIncorrect: I've given evidence, it's the exact same as yours. It merely leads to a different conclusion
We have no proof that it would've been lethal to whalesIt didn't have the capacity to think "oh, wait, I'm ******* the planet up and probably killing all the people I'm trying to talk to".
You're not gonna like this but: Genetic engineeringBy all means, explain why the ability to contact something in orbit using a method that organic creatures cannot detect would come about.
But if it's based on nothing more then speculation, while the opposing theory is, that makes my theory more solid and thus the correct one.It is when it fits the facts and the opposing theories introduce unknown factors.
And you have yet to back up your theorys. Should I take that as a concesion?
