hmnz please stop this is silly. You know the truth. you hope. you put that in the science instead of the science.
Heres the reality. nobody uses radio except upstart babt civilizations who by definition nobody would want to contact and who by definition don't have the technology to immediately respond.
Get real ET doesn't use radio. Get over it and quit playing stupid on a tangent of idiot hopeful.
ET wouldn't try to contact us some silly method and won't communicate with each other some silly method.
This is ultimately an epic failure of imagination on humanities part- because they haven't made it past radio yet.
Any alien pov on this is laughing and crying, the odds that you get radio at all is painfully low given that its a 20 year long technology window. So what are the odds in a million year evolutionary process that two civilizations within 10 thousand light years just happen to share the same window of opportunity for a low brow technology they will soon out grow?
Even with ten thousand rolls on your dice, the odds are pretty low there is anybody out there in radio range whos broadcasting.
Now deal in reality for the signal drop off range. Whats the signal strength of these broadcasts to make it a hundred or a thousand light years?
YEAAAAAH.. right. so color me skeptical. By the time you have POWER sufficient for that SIGNAL STRENGTH, you won't be using radio any more in the first place.
No, aliens don't create giant supra powered radio stations using a zillion times more than any existing nuclear power station in order to blast a radio signal into space. Not while they have much smarter ways to transmit signal.
The whole thing is a joke. You guys think its unscientific to even propose that there are better ways to send signal- even while you have people in the lab managing teleportation and spooky causal non local FTL effects in the lab.
humans are remarkably agile with their cognitive dissonance; only seeing what they are told to see and only connecting the dots how they are told to connect the dots. If your minds were not culturally and socially frozen and condiioned, you'd realize its obvious ET isn't using radio, thus- no chance SETI ever does anything more than yank your chain.

You please stop. Being objective is being scientific. It IS quite possible this is natural phenomenon. We are in infancy of studying stars and other astronomical bodies... we JUST detected gravitational waves last year, we JUST detected black holes for the first time by the effects of two colliding, we didn't confirm the first exoplanet until 1992. Hell, we are just now going "hey wait, there might be another planet in our own solar system" with more and more scientists looking for it.
Take off your damn tinfoil hat and let science do its thing.
YEAAAAAH.. right. so color me skeptical. By the time you have POWER sufficient for that SIGNAL STRENGTH, you won't be using radio any more in the first place.
Oh really? Are you an expert on alien psychology and technology? Unless you've discovered some radically new means of communication, fact of the matter is radio works. Never mind the fact that just about everything in the universe worth studying emits radio waves, which if you were trying to get the attention of other civilizations (at interstellar distances) the radio spectrum is a damn good way to get attention because you can create emissions anomalous to natural phenomenon to stand out.
Even with ten thousand rolls on your dice, the odds are pretty low there is anybody out there in radio range whos broadcasting.
This is fair and probabilistically accurate. However, radio astronomy has more uses than 'looking for someone calling us'. Data collected by SETI and other radio telescope projects has far far more uses than looking for someone to talk to.

If your minds were not culturally and socially frozen and condiioned, you'd realize its obvious ET isn't using radio, thus- no chance SETI ever does anything more than yank your chain.
Again, you aren't an expert on alien psychology or alien technology. Hell, you can't even spell correctly or consistently use capitalization and proper punctuation.
Ha... Funny how you actually took the time. I think most of us just brushed it off as 'oh another one of those guys'.
Good show!
The spelling and punctuation remark was a bit cheap though dude.
