That was Thomas Gold’s contribution in a book about CETI (one of Sagan’s terms I think, either preceding the invention of SETI or a spinoff) — I think it’s quoted around here a number of times...
Hmm, I’m sure it’s around here, but as people have come to suspect, Google is scrubbing FR search results.
Could be. Who knows?
Could be a big insect throwing a rock at an elementary school.
It can’t believe it took 19 posts to gets to yours.
In an interview snip many years ago Chuck Berry mentioned that the heaviness in his voice bothered Chess, so the record was cut with an accelerated playback, making his guitar work sound a lot faster than it actually was played.
Say goodbye to Rio….
Do you want to know more?
She an atheist, and raging leftist...gets woozy seeing a poster of Obuma everyday when she goes to work at Cambridge.
She also does radio hits on astronomy in UK.
Lives with her boyfriend, but would never get married or have kids. Watch her clips enough and her politics spill into her science talk.
Also, the numbers indicate Aliens are out there, but most scientists get frustrated and go on rants about bad science, when anyone brings up the possibility that intelligence has been detected via radio astronomy.
NO NO NO, bad science, very bad science!!!
It’s never aliens, until WE say it’s aliens!
most UK’s are hardcore leftist’s anyway.
To serve man
Unless Tokyo lets me start.
How far out have our early broadcasts gone? Are the aliens now listening to The Shadow, The Arthur Godfrey program or Amos 'n Andy, or have they not yet arrived in the alien neighborhoods?
if they are close enough now, they are listening to Blind Willie Johnson’s song, “Dark was the night” which they sent into space in the ‘search for alien life’

My version:
SETI (search for extra-terrestrial intelligence that uses radio signals) is the search for really really stupid aliens—because that is the only kind of being dumb enough to telegraph their location to potential hostiles.
(Yup—humans are really really dumb.)
