Re: Close encounters of the third kind
What's missing here is any confirmed physics that describes how aliens from thousands of light years away could conveniently get here.
Wormholes are the missing "X" in General Relativity, without which it would be meaningless.. As in "How do I explain the rules abut the speed of light and hw fast matter can travel before it - whats? Ah yes, it must be the wormhole so that distant objects can travel to the Alpha Sector in a short time without breaking the speed of light rules I've just created".
Harry Turtledove came closest in my eyes with his COLONIZATION series. These advanced lizards came from 20 light years away. So they hibernated for 20 years and arrived at Earth.
