We’ll have to wait for them to show up for dinner.

The universe has existed for billions and billions of years and consists of billions and billions of galaxies. No doubt there have been, are, and will be billions and billions of planets with intelligent life separated by billions and billions of miles and billions and billions of light years.

They’re out there, but for all practical purposes they don’t exist.

That’s OK. I’d rather my money be spent on this than midnight basketball anyways.

I suppose we could take a very Liberal approach and just not listen to anything anyone else says.

The basic premise of SETI is that aliens know of our existence and are trying to contact us, in which case they wouldn’t use a technology that we knowingly don’t possess. That’s also the premise of the movie Contact.

We’re probably not going to find anything by “listening” for extraterrestrials

Countless hours spent on extraterrestrial sitings (physical/audible) is for naught if one misses the Plan of Salvation (believing in the Lord Jesus Christ) from the One who controls the universe and beyond.

Only a stupid civilization would try to contact an alien civilization.

It would be like a monkey climbing down from the tree and trying to contact the tigers. Darwin award on a civilization level.

Almost as bad as electing HRC

Factually no one has a clue about how big the universe is. The hubble looks as far and deep as it can and all it sees are endless galaxies. There’s probably life elsewhere. But you arent going to pick up tv signals from a trillion light years away.

Wrong.

If they are as advanced as he imagines, they would transmit using legacy and current tech, which some would be the equivalent of ours.

It should be a fairly simple equation. Space has “background noise”, like static. Unless a data transmission can be distinguished from it, it can’t be. And energy from a point source is diminished using the inverse square law.

This puts a limit on how far data transmissions can travel through space.

I guess that means we can now cut Puerto Rico loose and let them have that humongous receiving dish out in the jungle. Maybe the kids will skate board on it.

...a great deal of energy expended...

Translated into non grant speak, "a great deal of tax money spent"
