It is too late to hide ourselves from the cosmos now because for almost 100 years we have been naievly broadcasting radio waves out into space, so if something comes from out of the blue that wants to eat us, destroy us, enslave us, or just take over our planet it was our own stupid fault. |

Quoting: Cat Man 396382Sadly 2 to 4 light years out from earth our 'weak' broadcast signals are lost in the haze of background signals caused by the universe. Why is this sad? Because there used to be this romantic notion that our signals would continue on forever to be picked up by other species who would know of us, if not all the correct information about us. This all was 'discovered' by the question "Why aren't we picking up alien TV signals?". If life and intelligent life are abundant we should be picking up their broadcasts. We aren't, which means something happens to the signal. Sinkhole list: Thread: Sinkholes Updated 28 Dec 2010 find a sinkhole, add it to this thread, please.
