Aliens. Fucken Aliens.

Post by pErvinalia » Thu Dec 10, 2015 4:20 pm

Could we just get on with contacting some aliens? I'm sick of this silence. Even though there'll be all sorts of scaredy cats worried about transmitting their location to likely advanced civilisation, there's got to be some pirate cosmic radio operators who are subverting their paranoid leaders and sending out signals. I was all excited recently about this "Dyson Sphere" business around a newly surveyed star, and now they are telling us its probably just comet dust. Bullshit, I say! They're keeping something from us. SHOW. ME. THE. ALIENS!

Edit: Just remembered that in the article I read on this today, part of the reasoning for ruling out aliens was that during a two week laser survey they picked up no laser signals from the system. And within that two week period they also spent three days surveying radio signals. That was it. Can't be an alien structure because we didn't hear anything over a two week period. Some reasoning is flawed there, I think.

The longer they stay silent the smarter they are likely to be. Twice so with this planet lately. :read:

I assume you're talking about KIC 8462852 ("Tabby's Star," "WTF Star"). The radio signals would have had to have been powered with at minimum "100 times the total amount of energy currently used on Earth" to be detected with the equipment used. That's a lot of energy to be devoted to yelling into the void.

I'd fuck an alien if it was up for it. That'd be more action than I'm getting from Earth based organisms.

Other than humans and dolphins etc of course.

This particular star provides some "evidence". It's really a determination as to how seriously this evidence is taken. I think it's worth more investigation. Spending 2 weeks listening for directed signals isn't much of an effort. They probably need to study the illumination variations over a longer time to come up with a model that either explains it inorganically, or leaves the question open.

No aliens? You don't believe it even possible that out there in the vastness of the universe intelligent life has evolved, perhaps even with a culture and tech level that far exceeds our own? As far as bothering.. interacting directly (instead of just intercepting communications) with an alien species in an alien culture would be a fascinating experience - what else are they going to do after they know the secrets of the universe? Party!
