Still Waters Posted July 21, 2010 #1 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Sometimes it seems as if the expansion of the social networking phenomenon knows no bounds.And now scientists say even aliens might not be immune to Twitter. They could have been using cosmic 'Tweets' to contact us for decades, researchers claim - but we have been missing them. While any 'lost in space' messages wouldn't exactly be restricted to 140 characters, as on the website, a study suggests ET is more likely to send out short, directed messages than continuous signals beamed in all directions. The reason? Because alien civilisations are likely to strive to limit waste and make their signalling technology efficient. 'This approach is more like Twitter and less like War and Peace,' said Dr James Benford, a physicist and president of Microwave Sciences. Read more...

Hrrmzz, you cannot tell me you guys do not know about X Ray, am on to you lot!!! Need to use a probe indeed! Its not years my friend its decades earth has been visited many times. By the way about the scientist they cant keep much up if we used such things down to the line or etc only they well hit or miss each time! I do hope you will forgive me for being a little skeptical on this one.... Nobody has offered me so much as a howdy do! How rude! See what you can do for me, can ya?

Four Winds Posted July 23, 2010 #22 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I'm upset, I read the article, had some thoughts about it, saw there were 20 or so posts on it, was hoping to discuss it and you all are having a laugh and no discussion.

Ah well, looks like you all are having fun, enjoy Hey, knock yourself out! Discuss away, don't sook. Can you answer my question? Why can we not send a coherent signal to Jupiter, but we can talk with the Voyager probes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactic Posted July 23, 2010 #24 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I well see what I can do for you Psyche101 that has little bit of hummer if i didn't lose it over the years! Something about probing as well an old tale that people say other then they went though it all depends what you are refereeing to!. if ones known about your tech that you called x ray you can imagine what they well do with it if they have something smilier that allows to see though clothing I bet males well go dig for it then females. Like I said it depends on others have lot of knowledge and etc then they know the difference or have smilier to what you guys have but in different way of form or high quaintly. don't worry psyche101 it don't bug me when you have little bit skeptical lest i didn't leave you out on some fun here.

badeskov Posted July 24, 2010 #25 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Well, people better versed then I in long distance communications say this is not possible as the message scatters too much. But I want to know why we can talk to the Voyager probes if that is the case? Electromagnetic waves scatter by the inverse square law. Or, in other words, if you have a transmitter that emits with a power of Ptr you signal will scatter as it propagates and at the distance R the power will have dropped to Ptr/R2. Simple physics, unfortunately. But so far the Voyager probes are still within the reasonable communication envelope. And so is Jupiter and if we wanted we could send coherent signals to Jupiter Cheers, Badeskov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
