Hypothetical Question -
05-31-2006, 09:07 PM
I'm proposing this situation out of pure curiosity and entertainment.
The situation is:
Someone walks up to you and says they know of an alien race and they are willing to take you, and only you on an interstellar voyage. The catch is, you know nothing about the race, you don't know what they look like, what they eat, how they fly from place to place, nothing. They could just as well eat you as soon as you board, or they could show you all the secrets of the universe. You have no idea and the only way to find out is to go with them. IF you say no, you will never be given the opportunity again.
You can either accept the offer without knowing your fate, or reject it. What do you do and why?
If you say no, would it not drive you insane the rest of your life to know what could have been?

no, the risk is way too high. I wouldn't want to be eaten or be turned into mush with light travel.

if i were single at the time, i think i would say yes. if they can afford to send a rep to this planet, they can prolly feed themselves.
if i were to say no, im sure i would be comfortable with my decision. better safe than sorry.
