There's an ongoing dialog in philosophical/mathematical circles about aliens and logic, beginning in 1991: https://static.hum.uchicago.edu/philosophy/conant/Search%20f...

Science as we know it is not necessary or fundamental to technology.

Technically engineers, not scientists are responsible for our technology. Science is a more conceptually disciplined yet artificially contrived than engineering or technology specifically. Science has accelerated development of our technology, yet engineering drives practicality more than science.

Science is how we ward off or deal with human ignorance in the pursuit of understanding. Engineering and therefore technology is the advantageous use of means. One does not need to “scientifically” understand elements to create or use fire. So too the idea of science is quaint yet superficial in achieving results of technology.

Here’s something of a thought consideration. Ordinary persons might think 3D space is like a Cartesian graph system, where everything is an x,y,z coordinate, at least in reference to each other.

In existential reality however, every entity has an axis and technically spins around that axis. On earth we don’t really notice on account of that axis being on a radial line perpendicular to the ground. It is undeniable however that the earth and other bodies are spinning around their axis.

This spinning of axis is the true 3D coordinate system. Every coordinate between objects must be translated between any other objects spinning radial coordinate system. This must take into account orbital accretion, for 2D ecliptic planes are extrapolations of intersecting radial lines adjusted for accretion.

Science didn’t tell you that, orbital mechanics may be derived from observation without all of those rules scientist give themselves as to mitigate presumptions and expectations. Science may verify or even improve upon this observation in discrete ways. The three body problem tried and scientifically fails to do so. Yet this problem exists and is solvable in reality. Try treating objects as intersecting 2D planes of orbital accretion rather than point masses in free space (which does not literally exist.)

The aliens who visit Earth (those “greys”) do not have labs or beaker tubes. They perform their calculations and evaluations through their minds, which are like ours a form of quantum computer (of consciousness) which science obviously fails to explain.

These can observe for a decade what a human would get bored and loose focus after ten minutes.

These remember every perception and experience through quantum holography such that they do not need to write things down. They are the database.

Science to these is watching carefully and with patience. Innovation is growing biotechnology which serves specific purposes, and these can drive all considerations through their own mind, without delegating to an “AI” or automated systems.

Arguably humans can do these things, only our attention spans and self determination are measured in minutes or hours, not decades.

And they know everything about us down to the secrets of our thoughts or the nature of our DNA. And no science.
