    Engineer Voyager
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of DNA panspermia, suggesting that the first human to surpass our galaxy could be a clone of a Voyager engineer, either created accidentally or intentionally by extraterrestrials. This scenario raises critical questions about the implications for both humanity and aliens. If the clone is accidental, it may carry genetic defects or differing values, leading to potential conflicts. Conversely, an intentional creation could result in scientific advancements, with the clone serving as a bridge between species. However, the clone's role could vary significantly; it might be seen as a savior or a mere tool by the aliens. The outcomes hinge on the aliens' motivations and the clone's capabilities, highlighting the profound consequences of such an event for both parties involved.

The first human to surpass our galaxy may be in the form of DNA panspermia - either accidentally or on purpose - from those who worked on Voyager. What outcome would such a clone bring aliens: disease, science, savior, slave or peer?

I think its much more likely that Voyager will meet up and merge with an alien probe. Then it will come back as Vger, have sex with a human, and evolve into a higher life form. Or was that a movie?
 


The idea of extraterrestrials cloning a Voyager engineer is certainly intriguing. It raises questions about the capabilities and motivations of these aliens, as well as the potential consequences for both humanity and the aliens themselves.

If the clone is created accidentally, it could potentially bring about unforeseen consequences. The clone may have a different set of values and beliefs than the original engineer, which could lead to conflicts and misunderstandings between the aliens and humanity. Additionally, there is the possibility that the clone may carry genetic defects or diseases that could be harmful to both the aliens and humanity.

On the other hand, if the clone is created intentionally by the aliens, it could have a variety of outcomes. It could bring about a new level of scientific understanding and technological advancements, as the clone would possess the knowledge and expertise of a Voyager engineer. This could greatly benefit both the aliens and humanity.

However, there is also the possibility that the clone could be seen as a savior or a slave by the aliens. They may view the clone as a superior being, capable of surpassing our galaxy and unlocking the secrets of the universe. Alternatively, the clone may be seen as a mere tool to be used and controlled by the aliens for their own purposes.

Ultimately, it is impossible to predict the exact outcome of such a clone. It would depend on the intentions and actions of the aliens, as well as the capabilities and choices of the clone itself. However, it is clear that the creation of such a clone would have significant implications for both humanity and the extraterrestrial beings involved.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
