No. Whoever figures out the technology first will rule the world. As far as what it means, I believe life exists out there anyway (a big, big universe). My stumbling block are the vast distances relative to the speed of sound (light). If they have solved this I'm glad they have not come to subjugate me yet. Edit : light
This is closed-minded thinking. I'm not trying to knock what you said but we have to be open-minded to the fact that there is a very good chance that there are others out there that are far more advanced than us and have potentially discovered ways to travel thst do not rely on pysics as we currently understand them.
Just think if we went back in time to lets say the 1700s and showed someone a smart phone what do you think would be their reaction? They would probably proclaim you a witch and/or demon and burn you at the stake! Their minds would not be able to make sense of such a technology. It would be the same if we were to witness something far more advanced because our current view on technology only goes as far as what we are aware of.

There are a few historical films that shed light on this very curiosity. A couple that immediately come to mind are "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" and "Back to the Future".

I believe there is life out there. Did I say there wasn’t? Why wouldn’t there be other life. As Carl Sagan said, a lot, BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of planets, stars and galaxies. There has to be life out there. But I blame the universities in this country for not teaching the proper physics. They need to up their game. We need to find dilithium crystals.
And if our military and intelligence communities know this and haven’t told us, it’s because they are trying to figure out the technology before the enemy. That’s it in a nutshell.

We don't even need to go back that far to see an example. WW2 had American forces on exotic islands and the Islanders came to "worship" a deity known as "Johnfrom".
20 min vid, if you want to watch it all;
John from America
To make it even more strange and topical. He was in the form of Prince Phillip.
