i know this prob shoudlnt have been a new thread, but im drunk, so thats my excuse.
who cares if we just started sending out rf 80yrs ago. we got tech that can easily detect non naturally occurring rf patterns that could have originated millions of years ago, and have found NOTHING!
so that means that either we are alone, or THEY have some sort of com system that dont use radio signals.
i actually prefer to believe in the latter, and based on our very early understanding of that whole paired sub atomic particles based on some quantum entanglement theory could possibly be used for future faster than light communication, i still think theres still a chance there's someone out there.
but based on the fact that we aint heard jack **** from rf, i vote we scrap that **** all together, eventho that'd put me outta a job, 'n concentrate on developing com tech based on that crazy quantum physics ****. for one, it'd really improve in-game ping times.
We could be in the middle of an intergalactic conversation right now, but we wouldn't be able to tell.
In order to communicate across vast distances, whatever the message is would have to be broken up and reassembled at the other end. This is because of stars, planets, things that could interfere with communications. This is also why we wouldnt be able to tell if there is communication going on because it would appear to be gibberish.
I really can't figure out the point of NGFM's post :/
Not insanity, but believe there is some alternate universe out there we can't see. Like we're in the Matrix and it play dreams for us. Some dreams are places I know, work, vacation spots. But others are places so weird I wake up going where did that come from?

I just want them to give me the lotto numbers.
It's called imagination, bud. Your pineal gland is an amazing organ.
The question is, how far can an RF signal travel at the power levels that we broadcast before it is no longer discernible from background noise?
To answer the OP, I absolutely do not believe that we are alone.
RF power drops by 1/R^2
when you bring lightyears into the equation, the numbers drop below our minimum detection threshold for rf receivers really quick, unless these aliens--hypothetically speaking--have some seriously high powered transmitters

Does the alternate universe involve men having a "ho playbook" about how to trick a woman into marrying them?
I remember reading something about gravity waves being a far more likely and efficient transmission system for any civilization that really wanted to reach out and contact another planet. Problem is we havent developed the tech to send or receive.
