Could Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope detect alien life?

[Radu Almasanu]

I agree with you that it would most likely be not able to actually look back in time since if we were able to do this it would alter our understanding of the universe and from this we would be able to most likely jump decades of advancements in technology in a very  short time . I think it is also a cool thing that maybe in our generation NASA might be able to contact alien life if it does exist.

ya it would be cool in some ways, but you have to think what would the world do, no, what would an average human think that aliens do exist, and what if they attack us, it might be the end for humanity, well I guess only time would tell
