I saw something not long ago about the myth of our waves perpetually traveling outwards.. They become noise.. static.. they dissipate. Not surprising we don't see anything significant from another source. We can "hear" the Sun.. anything like radio waves from another civilization would easily be obscured.. Not to mention the absurd distance to even the nearest star/Sun.
Someone needs to tell all the scientists at SETI this. http://www.seti.org/seti/projects/project-phoenix/overview.php
I?m sure sound has to dissipate to some extent. Things would get pretty loud if it didn?t. And sure we?re listing to billions of frequencies but I think it?s still a shot in the dark that we do hear something.
Maybe all the waves are being sucked into black holes.. Maybe disassociate is a better word.. Waves don't stay in a fine line signal.. they spread, like a shotgun. The farther they move, they farther they seperate.. In any event, I don't think scientists know exactly how man made radio waves from another star system, or galaxy would behave.. Prolly something that could absorb them also.. Who knows.. Plus, if they did find them, would they reveal it?
I firmly believe that we are the center of this universe. Maybe, just maybe, God has allowed life to flourish elsewhere.
I saw this morbidly obese chick once, she had seven normal sized women orbitting her. - - - Personally, I believe that we are truly naive to think that we are the center of the universe. Now when I say "We" I mean all the plants, trees, animals, big and small, wise and cunning. There could be minute organisms delved deep in a mountain somewhere on Mars. There very well could be the same on Mercury. We live on the planet most hospitable for surface dwelling. Evolution will find a way. Life is all about adapting and whatever life is out there, be it big or small, will someday show itself to us. Until that time, masturbate to the thought of green women from Star Trek and the three-titted woman from Total Recall.
