Take a look back over my post.
(I talk a little about spread spectrum) :-)
Hi, RA! Thanks for the comments. I've been offline and just got back on this morning... Will have some time tonight, I hope, and will return to read everyone's comments and follow up.
I'll second that!
Or where Octopi are turning into tentacled Bug Eyed Monsters. Who knows? I hope somewhere there are desert lizards turning in to The Race. :)
I know you did, I just wanted to make the point that current searches may not be looking for the right sorts of signals, which could explain why they haven't found anything. An even more probable reason is that they haven't yet looked at the right star system. There are lots of them out there, and they have only looked a small fraction of them.
I am with ya 100% :-)
A huge problem. I've got my fingers crossed that nanotechnology will solve it someday.
Very nice tutorial, RA, thanks!
I'll say!
Considering that a Dyson sphere ENCAPSULATES a star and planet(s) within, it would undoubtedly affect the radiation observed from "outside". In effect, the star would (from a distant observer's POV) "fade out" over several generations.
It would merely be a "mystery of the stars" for all observers, unless and until they/we can travel there and find out what's going on.
