What if we, humanity as a whole, are the Forerunners? What if we are just at a really early stage in our evolution process and we will be able to travel through space using "slip space" technology? I honestly believe that our obsession with the science fiction universe will propel us into a futuristic age that closely resembles the ones in Halo or Star Wars. What if we are the ones that are meant to aid the rest of the universe with our technology in the (not too distant) future?

I heard nasal was trying to build warp drive (correct me if I'm wrong) that'll alow us to travel 4 light years in 2 weeks again I could be wrong with some of the information

What about the flood?

Are we human [spoiler]or are we dancer[/spoiler]

Get out of here HaloFollower!

Odds are we are the first intelligent race in the universe, so we could fulfill a role similar to the Forerunners.

We are the descendants of the Forerunners, thus the Sangheli stopped killing us and turned against the Covenant.

If we traveled in time why haven't we seen people from the future?

Doubtful that it'll ever happen, though I'm always hoping it will. We do not currently own the appropriate resources to cause those events, and we're certainly not "fit to rule"/aid judging by our actions now. The technological challenges to reach those goals have been, unfortunately, belittled by the huge science-fiction hits we all love. Simply put, most people don't recognize how large the numbers at play really are, when talking about space travel. People look at 1 million, and then 1 billion, and don't put so much as an afterthought into just how big the disparity is. I read a comparison earlier today that made it a bit easier to understand. 1 million seconds comes up to ~11 days. 1 billion seconds comes up to ~31 years. We're talking lengths of interstellar travel that [i]start[/i] at 100,000,000,000,000 kilometers, and people think that we may at some point compete with light speed. Sorry to say, but even the closest stars would take you years to reach at that speed, and with those distances. Dare I even mention the fact that the passengers would not be viewing time in the same way as the people on Earth? By the time they got back from their trip, the entire planet could be a [i]very[/i] different place. Wait though, now we've got people talking about FTL travel. The most prominent of which is an engine that contracts space in one direction, and expands it in the other. This is, in my opinion, the only hope we've got. Currently, I don't think it's possible in the limits of our current understandings of space, and the matter we have at our disposal. Hell, even the people working on those designs simply state that they need "exotic" matter, and that they'd need quite the abundance of it. So we're in all likelihood stuck in our current position. At least, until we discover something new about space-time. Something big enough that it's end result will have launched our civilization into a functionally inextinguishable status.

Yes we are the Forrunners. We are known as the reclaimers and Gods.

Are we the foreskin?

The saddest part is that the UN has already taken the acronym for UNSC, the United Nations Security Counsel ;(

343 did say we are so

Not for a long time mate.

Aliens are here colluding with government and that's what makes them malevolent because any advanced race would see our government is evil/corrupt and if they were of noble stock would present themselves to humanity as a whole not hide in the darkness in some Deep Underground Military Base.
-
This is a theory where we are the first and that the whole alien thing goes like this: we are the aliens. We are the aliens that we dream of and we are going to become the aliens that future intelligent species see in their sky. We are the first intelligent species which is why we haven't seen REAL aliens.

Edited by Onxide: 2/12/2015 8:33:14 PMMaybe... I do believe there was once a highly advanced civilization before us though, that "aided" us to where we are to day in technological terms.
