Possible outcomes of first alien contact — Do Aliens Speak Physics? by Daniel Whiteson and Andy Warner This illustration by Andy Warner appears in the book Do Aliens Speak Physics? by Daniel Whiteson and Andy Warner. It humorously explores four imagined scenarios for humanity’s first meeting with extraterrestrial life, including immediate annihilation, being served as a three-course meal, forced labor in hydrogen mines, and a respectful exchange of knowledge.
