Turn The Screws!

Open your eyes, look in front, look at the back, look at any angle and you will see something that is an engineer's creation.

Engineers have been making things possible that others could only imagine. It perfectly makes sense to have a common place for engineers from around the world where they can share ideas, innovate, & help each other. Engineers are eternal, with the younger at 62 & the youngest at 17, the CEan gang consists of working professionals, students, entrepreneurs, CEOs, professors, geeks & nerds.

Default Aliens language

Hi CEans,

I've been thinking about how aliens talk, if we got nice visit from some aliens how would we communicate, what common language we can both understand.

I know it's someway weird but I feel there's somebody else in our universe we have to be ready as they're getting ready to attack

Even if we're about to make a translator we should have common language to convert between both languages, What do you think guys?

MaRo, I didn't get the topic of the debate. Could you please explain?

Btw - We're still not sure about existence of Aliens.

Whether or not aliens exist, we can treat their "language" as any other language. Before the time of language dictionary and translators, I believe people learned other languages through action and example.

Unless of course, their mode of "speech" is drastically different (different frequency, telepathy etc), then you'd need to do a lot of tests before we could understand each other and create the universal translator.

Assuming that aliens can 'see' the things as we do, I believe 'pictures' would be the right 'mode of communication'.

If I were the in-charge of the world alien communication program. I'd rely on aliens to come up with some common language. The reason is simple - if they could travel millions of light years to find us - they surely know how to communicate with us.

Quite logical, what do you say?

[ps: Do we have any aliens on CE ? We need your help]

OK, I can settle this. Since I've been observing your species for awhile it is possible for aliens to communicate with humans. I used my powers of thought suggest to persuade Maro to post this so I could finally reveal myself...lol

I agree with what Biggie said, leave it to them er us to translate.

I knew you were an Alien, ever since you proved you could time travel!

... so er, what are you "called", alien friend? And why do you disguise yourself as a mechanical engineer? Surely Aliens are more.. "techie"?

They call me Gohm which is the same in both Tibetan and the planet I am from oddly enough. Ah ha, because nobody would suspect a mild mannered engineer as an alien. All our tech is bio based so that's why I'm all thumbs when it comes to computers... laugh!

Good to have the first ideas to communicate with aliens

We got several solutions here, nice

Why don't make it first at least to try to make anything before our disaster, I've been watching alien movies all night, I couldn't stop thinking about it.

When aliens attack only ENGINEERS are in charge of the world, all other jobs will be just tools

Oh, Gohm, before writing this topic the door bell rang I opened but no one, you was there?
