When I was a kid, we laughed at the absurdity of Dick Tracy and his two-way radio watch.
We now have them, and can practically run our lives with the things. "Beam me up Scotty" became a joke expression. The way things are going, wont be long before the first thread on TOTV appears about reckless transporters going the wrong way while beaming around space roundabouts! |

Einstein also thought the speed of light is constant but we now know it’s not. We thought we knew the age of the universe sine the Big Bang. But now the Webb telescope has brought this belief into question. We don’t know what we don’t know. If the being that created our simulation decides to have aliens visit us, they will visit us.

Sums it up perfectly. And until we know what we don't, it seems pretty close-minded to conclude that we never will. |

From theorized by some to "we know" is about as far apart as one side of the universe is to the other in the realm of science. |

The fact is, here in the real world, those radio waves would have degraded so far by the time they made it to the first star system, that even if it happened to be inhabited by an "advanced" civilization, they probably wouldn't have recognized what it was, even if they knew what to look for. Think about it -- this thread started with someone marveling that NASA managed to communicate over a mere 10 million miles -- and they had to use a focused laser to do it, with someone at the other end looking for it. Meanwhile, the nearest star is 500 thousand times farther than NASA's little experiment. The most likely scenario is that, in a universe of a billion-billion stars, Earth TV transmissions probably won't make it to an advanced civilization until centuries after we're radioactive dust. That's how unimaginably huge the Universe is. There are undoubtedly millions of advanced civilizations in the Universe. The fact that we didn't detect one of them the moment SETI switched on the giant Arecibo antenna, tells you that we will never hear from any of them. |

Is it possible that the folks in charge of that program have a bit more insight into the possibilities of contact being made than either you or I? |

Probably maintaining their jobs & benefits, are their prime insight.

Actually, no, the folks in charge of SETI have no more insight into the possibility of contact being made than any of us. In order to have more insight they would need to know that there was something out there to contact. Conspiracy theories aside, there is no proof that there is anything out there. the SETI scientists don't have a clue whether contact will ever be made and neither do we.

Real science follows the scientific method and rejects a theory when it is proven false. Fake "science" will slavishly follow a pretty theory, even after a 100 years and 100 million dead prove it false. Fake "science" has become an industry that wastes most of the few brilliant minds born each year, to study new and better ways to separate citizens from their tax dollars. |

Absence of proof is not proof of absence. It's a big universe out there; it is very likely that we haven't looked in the right direction at the right time and in the right way to notice that we are not alone.

" Contrary to popular belief, and their Form 990, no government funds are allocated for its SETI searches" (Wikipedia). NASA and other agencies, in conjunction with doing their own research projects, may use SETI from time to time in pursuit of that, and pay their way accordingly. |

SETI is killing 100 million people?
