Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

And if their method of sex means you have to die before you can incubate their eggs?

I said have sex with them, not let them have sex with them. If it's got a hole...

And if they can over power us?
Then they'll learn that we frown upon rape. And that we frown with guns.
We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar.

"The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming

And we'll learn they frown with antimatter powered armadas.

I doubt sophont reproduction methods will entail gut-babies eating their way out of the victim parent.

Still, what they would want to, ahem, do to you, depends on their specific system of reproduction. For a terrestrial (land-living) species, it's likely that their mating process will involve... ahem... something phallic... but it isn't like there's some sort of interstellar standard for this sort of stuff. :|

Also, would you engage in... sexual relations with an alien? I mean, a real alien, not a green skinned space babe...

Isn't the PRC already third world?

What are the grey areas? Terra Nullius? Radioactive wastelands?

You do realise that PRC only has about 240 nuclear weapons and even a far larger number of weapons wouldn't be able to totally lay waste to millions of square kilometers, right?

Ok, so there would be fallout, but nature- at least- can survive this, and the radioactivity will fall off, even if people die/become ill from radiation poisoning.
A hard mathematical figure provides a sort of enlightenment to one's understanding of an idea that is never matched by mere guesswork.

PRC's second world as far as I know. It's not 'western' standards, but it's a helluva lot closer to 'em than Nigeria is

To be honest it depends how human-like they are. If their physiology is similar enough so that i can at least understand whats happening then maybe,just maybe
