I find it astounding they'd even mention that. Seems hostile.

But the power differential is so enormous
I've thought about that a lot. Scifi while fun is dumb like a cartoon.

They'd have quark level control of matter. Teleportation. Matter energy conversion. Ways around FTL. From a distance (3D aliens) bathe our planet in x-rays from 100,000 LY. Closer? Undo all atomic forces on Earth. Matter turns into dust.

Hyperdimensional?
View all humans at all points in their lives all at once. All thought, speech, writing.
Individually rewrite spacetime and remove you.

Yep. We have no defenses.

But should we need them?

I have thought for some time Earth is a playpen. We get to leave when we can prove we aren't throwing around atomics
