They could 100's, 1000's maybe even 1000000's of years ahead of where we are in terms of technology
If they are using gravity manipulation, that would mean time and space isn't really an issue now, so distance then becomes less relevant if you can bend space time......no?
You're judging distance as a linear thing, our rockets couldn't get there......sure agreed with that, we couldn't
But wasn't long ago we thought we were the centre of the universe, and the earth was flat
Who knows..........if we're the only sentient life, then better to just nuke the planet now tbh, how depressing to even consider that....
Oh, I’m not going to claim it wouldn’t be theoretically possible, using technology waaaaaay beyond us that we have no understanding of... but I tend to base my opinions and conjecture based on the knowledge and evidence we have. And that tells me the physics of this universe are pretty well known, and don’t allow for the kind of space time manipulation of which you speak.
However, I would be extremely happy to be proved wrong on this one. The size of the universe and the sheer number of celestial bodies suggests that the chances of sentient life only occurring on this planet are slim to none... but that size also dictates that the chances of us ever making contact are even slimmer!
