qxcontinuum Posted August 19, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2017 so let me understand; seti needs millions of gigabytes of processing power borrowing as such world wide computers. now this is a cool crowd sourcing ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bison Posted August 19, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) It's not at all clear how merely listening for extraterrestrial signals, which is what the SETI @ Home Project does, could attract 'an alien version of ISIS' to our planet. By the way, despite what the OP and the the video say, SETI @ Home is not a project of the SETI Institute. It is based at the University of California at Berkeley, and is an entirely separate organization from the SETI Institute. Please find a link to the SETI @ Home website, below: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu Edited August 19, 2017 by bison 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not possible an alien race will eventually know if a signal of theirs has been tapped into- & from where? A music radio station will know how many people are tuned in... How do they know this?

No, most likely not. 5 hours ago, Dejarma said: A music radio station will know how many people are tuned in... How do they know this? By boxes people allow TV/radio stations to put in their houses so the radio/TV stations can monitor the listening and watching characteristics of a large number of listeners/viewers and thus estimate the total number of listeners/viewers with high statistical significance. A music radio station has no means of knowing simply by emitting radio waves, as that is a "one way street" so to speak. There is no feedback whatsoever.

But if an alien race sends a signal it will be one way, unless they are already in communication with the receiving part and thus have established a two way communication channel. It is really basic physics. However, hence the most likely, maybe there is indeed a loophole somewhere. Cheers, Badeskov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
