The host from The Pomp Podcast always ends the episode with a question to his guests: aliens, are you a believer or non-believer? As to me, I'm a believer of extraterrestrial life based on the current scientific evidence. If they ever had interested in visiting earth, I'd like to ask them below questions that bothered me as a human being.

What's the default setting of our universe? Is there a theory of everything?
How your species communicate with each other? Can you help us increase communications efficiency?
What's the fundamental rule of your society? Does each individual on your planet have a life meaning?
Do you have feelings? Is this important?
What's your understanding of quantum mechanics? How do you define time and space?
How do you differentiate you are in reality or a dream?
Are you a believer of Fatalism? Do we have free will as a human being?
Is there a Great Filter ahead of us? If yes, how could we avoid or escape?
Do you need a sense of belonging? How do you build your community?
What's your understanding of Conway's Game of Life? Are you the derivatives from a few basic rules of the universe?
What's your opinion on our human's thoughts experiments? Can you share your understandings?
What's your core values?
How do you define good and evil?
What are the lessons you learnt from your history?
When is the beginning of the universe?
Everything decays. Disorder increases. But human life decreases or keeps its entropy by feeding on negentropy. Why?
What are your understandings on randomness and luck?

By now, aliens either laugh at my stupidity or feel annoyed by so many questions. Je pense, donc je suis. I wish I could have all those answers for the next generation.
