Its seems the general consensus is "not enough information" which is fair. Coming up with a working idea in the first place is hard for humans, but recreating it is "less hard". Isn't this sort of example usually the case? It takes forever to make/invent the first one, but once people "know x is a thing," shortly everyone has it. In-fact, most other places that had access to the brain power and materials figured it out. Where before places and nations only had theories, now they had proof, and within a relatively short period of time other places created their own nuclear devices. Most of what people are saying is that it’s not possible to determine, and if that’s the consensus then I can accept that, but I keep thinking back to an idea ĭuring World War 2, suddenly someone had a nuke and without question demonstrated it was possible to create that device. EditĮveryone, Thanks for the responses so far! Keep in mind, all they really have is the blatant demonstration that it’s possible and some of the outward observable effects, they have to work out ‘how’ on their own, with only the knowledge that its possible and within grasp (demonstrated by the general (lack of)advancement of the Thull). What’s a realistic expectation for the collective of humanity for the length of time to determine the ftl method and build their own ftl ship/probe/test-bed? Humanity doesn’t self-destruct TOO MUCH at the reveal of other intelligent life out there.Recovery of the scrap shows no traces of anything unobtainable. Their method of ftl drive/travel doesn’t use handwavium or unobtainium (it can be built by things the people on the planet have available).All physical traces of alien technology are now useless bits of scrap.And that their spaceship was real,used FTL, and didn’t sneak close to the planet.
