Earth 'noise' could attract alien invaders

From New Scientist Print Edition.

No matter how quiet we try to be now it's too late to prevent alien invaders. So says Alexander Zaitsev of the Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics in Moscow, Russia, who points the finger at astronomers.

For 40 years, astronomers have fired microwaves off objects to chart near-Earth space and track the movement of close asteroids - and these signals are traceable back to us. By comparison, Zaitsev says, dedicated transmissions - often described as "shouting into an unknown jungle" - are a mere whisper. He calculates the astronomy signals have filled an area of the sky 2000 times greater than dedicated broadcasts have managed to date (www.arxiv.org/0804.2754).

Have you read Jacques Vallee’s books? He takes a scientific approach and has been asking for a scientific investigation for 40 years.

What are the chances that a civilization lasting long enough to develop faster-than-light interstellar travel would still be violent enough to want to conquer another planet?

The question should really be - Are we limited by the speed of light? We are a relatively new civilization and are already developing theorys that "could" (possibly) let us far exceed the Speed of Light that we currently "Think" we are limited by.

Heck - I've been here on Planet Earth for a few decades (in your form of time recognition) and you have not figured that I am any different than you.
