  • Liberal Mainstream Media spreading fake news about space aliens???

    Scientists say most likely number of contactable alien civilisations is 36

    New calculations come up with estimate for worlds capable of communicating with others

    (...)


    36 is not nearly enough as we know from Star Trek. Everyone knows the answer to everything is 42






    Blah

      36 right now. It says nothing about how many there will be come the 24th century, and it only assumes a technological lifespan of 100 years (because that's where we're at).

        The lifespan of 100 years part is incorrect.

        In the paper, it's used as both an average and a minimum, depending on the context.

      We are not sufficiently advanced to have learned about the interstellar mute function yet, and extremely adept at convincing everyone else to hit it already.

        36 by our limited ability to make contact? 36 in our neighborhood or the Milky Way?

        I think life is very rare judging by the extraordinary circumstances it took to appear on Earth

          There is a big difference between life and intelligent life.

        On the contrary !!!

          Maybe intelligent life is doomed to succumb to its own success. Humanity has been so successful we have probably grown beyond the capacity of our planet to support us. We may be doomed to succumb to global warming or wars over diminishing resources that turn nuclear and wipe us all out. Perhaps civilisation will collapse due to resource shortages or economic problems and if we do not decommission nuclear power and nuclear weapons on the descent to barbariasn the contamination may wreck the planet. We have many ways to exterminate ourselves.

          That would explain why SETI detects no life

            Someone should secretly send a probe out to a distance of Mars or somesuch and send a message and see if Earth based teams pick it up and recognise it as a non natural signal. Could be that we are actually **** at listening despite claims to the contrary.

            I would say there are cheaper, and more cost effective tests. So cost is a reason not to do this, but Musk blasted a Tesla into space, so he has money to burn. Plus it would be a fun prank if it can be done in April 1.

              They could send a message saying send all spambots to Poly OT

              The 'prototype' heavy launch had to be done with no paying cargo, and the tesla was free, since it was publicity for them.

            Another possibility is that SETI efforts so far have searched a very tiny chunk of the sky using a very tiny chunk of the spectrum.

              That is a very feasible explanation.

              I am by no means suret if it is possible for aliens to travel between the stars and if if is possible it may not be worthwhile for some presently unknown reason.
