If aliens exist... Do you think is possible to interact and have a conversation?

Our DNA is very close to APES. For example, we are 1% different from Chimpanzees, but this small difference has lead to huge distinctions between our species. Suppose that aliens with extremely advanced technology are 1% different from us in the same direction that we are different from Apes. Then, we would be "childs" compared to them. It would be impossible to have a conversation in the same sense that we can't with Apes (the most inteligent Chimpanzee knows 150 signs and we know at least from 12,000 - 20,000 words). So, aren't we being naive to think that aliens will want to talk with us?

First of all I do believed in aliens even I've never seen one because there are billions of planets out there in the universe and I think its so impossible that earth is the only planet that has life on it.
And to your question if it is possible to interact and have a conversation with aliens? I don't know, maybe! But I think it will depend on what level of intelligence they have..

I agree with you, however there are around 450 planets detected until now and they have the same size of Jupiter... So, based on observations we don't know the frequency that an earth-like planet is produced. Perhaps, never... Therefore, we can not juge based on our own experience. Because, we will say that life has 100% chance to appear, cause we are alive...

If and if its possible, I guess we can interact by using hand gestures and that but having a conversation? I don't think so. It may be possible but it is definitely difficult to communicate with aliens. I mean, its just like communicating with a person from a different country. Both of you have different languages and the only means of interaction is through physical gestures or very few similar language. Hopefully scientists will find more things about aliens and extra terrestrial stuff.

I agree with you... It would be very difficult to communicate, but there's a huge difference between distinct countries and distincts species, because we can learn any other language from other country, however are we gonna be abble to learn some alien language? As an example, if they use 150,000 words to communicate them it will be impossible...

as we have many levels of evolution in our race, like good people, bad, and etc i believe there are many kind of aliens, and even races that some are good and some are bad
i heard reptilians are not all bad, that there are even the ones that ascended, others are behind they don't want to evolve
evolution is love in the heart, just that
i think we are all in different forms and shapes, but inside all spirits

I think it could be really difficult. And if we cannot communicate with them, will we even be sure that they are aliens. That may not seem like sentient creatures to us. A really fascinating exploration of these issues are the the works of Stanislaw Lem. He wrote the novel Solaris, from which came the two movies. The whole point of the book is that humans never know and cannot figure out what the alien 'sea' they encounter actually is, just a sea or some kind of alien being. Even if aliens turn up in space ships it might be impossible to communicate in any accurate way with them, even if we could share mathematical symbols.

It would be a Telepathic Conversation as We Humans have Voice Boxes that Enable Speech. No other Species has a Voice Box. We Keep our Slow Vehicles on the Ground and not Fly through the Air. In some ways we are Primitive and in other ways we are Advanced. They can Copy our Speech but We the People don't know much about The Space and Time Travelers.
