Astronomers Detect Puzzling Deep Space Signal

Without faster than light travel, it’s moot. We’d be more likely to be destroyed by some cosmic event than by aliens, besides — Trump promises to build a wall. . .

OPne problem is that we’re looking for something specific and maybe ignoring things that don’t fit the pattern, but even if there are billions of civilizations in the universe, it’s a damn big universe and old too. Maybe most of those are long gone, maybe 99.9% of those have no interest in sending signals into space. Would water breathing creatures have developed radio at all? Who knows. Existence is stranger than we give it credit for.

We indeed are discovering “earth like” planets, but as we’re learning much of what we are has everything to do with peculiar features of our planet, like an extra big iron core and a huge moon and a huge outer planet so soak up asteroids and probably a few features we haven’t considered yet.

Nobody would like to hear a bona fide extra terrestrial more than I would, but you know, the Trumpers would be telling us it’s the mud men from Beta Eridani 3 paying to play with the Clinton Foundation./
