You are looking at this in the wrong perspective.

It would be more like taking someone from 300 years ago into the future vs 3000 to 30,000 years ago. A person from 300 years ago would be mystified by what we have, but if they are slightly educated will accept the wonders of modern society.

A person from 3000 years could be communicated with on some level, but have little understanding. This world would not be theirs.

30,000 years, it would be next to impossible, but they could learn.

A spider cannot conceptualize our world because it has no need. Aliens would land and do alien things, and because we have a basic understanding of the greater principles of the world could get that space ship fly. You might be of the level of the spider, but others are not.

A simple example - maybe any observed or not (dark energy) cosmic phenomenon are your aliens? How do you verify this? Like someone here wrote that "it's not a crab" or "it doesn't have an eye" ? : )

Why do you continue to assume that you will be able to understand "aliens" with your mind?
If they live in a different time in a different dimension, perhaps they live at a different speed or scale so in your short life you won't even be able to see it.

You have such a very Christian approach. You think everything is just like you.
This is bloody naive.
