To me SETI is a waste of money and time. Why would an alien use radio waves to communitate, a technology that is inferrior. |
Because radio waves travels slow in the space....they arent trying to ear actual aline comunication, but past comunication. example: by now, the first human radio transmision were out of the Oort cloud in the verge of the Solar System. Maybe some civilization made transmition has us a lot of time ago, and now we can pick up them.

I don't think any of these "The Vague Society of Nebulous Meanies are going to take over the world and light up a planet" theories worry too much about practical considerations like that. It's all about rousing ill-informed, paranoiac fear, not making sense.
