Ummm... Microlensing is one of the most advanced methods humans have in the year 2022. Surely we'll have waaay more advanced methods in the year 1,000,000 AD, as do, presumably, the more advance and dangerous aliens have right now. To suppose they are still using ancient techniques to look for us, is equivalent to supposing they are still riding around in horse and buggies. It's crazy, wishful thinking, at best. IMHO
It’s not that they don’t know about us.
We are just a quarantined planet.
Need to read the Three body problem trilogy. It deals with this issue. Best Sci-Fi book ever.
That’s exactly what I was going to say. It’s like a baby covering its eyes to hide from its parents and thinking they can’t see.
Our ability to peer through the cosmos is infantile.
i dunno,
All this inasane liberal leftis insanity sure cam on all of a sudden.
Look at the typical SF or LA creep on the street.....
Do you think humanity will have uninterrupted technological advances for 1,000,000 years?
We will have to survive several ice ages, some super volcano eruptions, a number of large asteroid strikes, dozens of gigantic solar flares and Democrats.
Nearby planets with advanced civilizations are just recieving the first episodes of Maude and are concluding that we’re not worth visiting.
Not by radio.
Except that we have been broadcasting our presence with high powered TV transmitters and BMEWS radars for over fifty years.......
We are hidden to the extend of the limits of the technology we know about.
What do they have we don’t have a clue about? Hmmmmm?
There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now.
What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout.
Energize the demolition beams.
Oh, they know we're here. They avoid us for the same reason we'd leave if we could.
There is no hiding, there is no advanced alien civilization out there “looking” for us, at this very late stage.
The age of the galaxy is about 13 BILLION years. That is long enough for a single space-faring civilization with only sub-light travel, to probe and possibly colonize every planet in this galaxy, THOUSANDS OF TIMES OVER.
Any sense of isolation we have on Earth is almost certainly artificial and intentional.
Yep... That is why we do not yet see the planet the Arcturians originate from near Arcturus.
That reminds me of Baghdad Bob.
And that’s cuz the aliens are manning their spaceship windows 24/7 to see that they can see.
What alien would ever want to come here? We are likely the Tiajuana of the universe. 😆
