I think there's a point coming in our future (I don't know when...) where we'll significantly alter and/or find ways around the laws of physics as we currently understand them. I think there's a certain (understandable) arrogance about how we see current understanding as the end of knowledge rather than a still fairly early point on a long road.
I think if there were/are extraterrestrials here (and I think it's a possibility, albeit a remote one), they're probably here for reasons we can't understand doing things we can't understand in ways that we can't understand. Sort of like Clarke's law about sufficiently advanced technology looking like magic.
