paperdyer Posted September 11, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 11, 2018 To go along with Pallidin it's Stay away from those crazy earthlings. It could also be aliens looking for whales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qxcontinuum Posted September 12, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I don't belive any advanced alien civilization can produce a such radical amount of energy to be compared with that produced by the sun in a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspie_Dwarf Posted September 12, 2018 #12 Share Posted September 12, 2018 The reality is that, within the laws of physics, it is impossible for anyone to determine what an advanced civilisation would be capable of. A scientist from the 18th century would not have been able to predict nuclear reactors so how can we predict what a civilisation millenia in advance of us can achieve? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztek Posted September 12, 2018 #13 Share Posted September 12, 2018 when it comes to aliens, anything is possible, everything we can imagine and a lot more that we can not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdesert50 Posted September 13, 2018 #14 Share Posted September 13, 2018 It seems the article was oriented to the improvement of algorithms to detect fast radio bursts though it mentions the potential of finding of artifacts of alien technology. While it is certainly presumptuous of me to speculate on the why and how of aliens reaching out to communicate, I might ask why use something as limiting as electromagetic sources when, for example, one could perhaps use gravitational waves to penetrate regions of space that electromagntic waves cannot while ensuring some degree of cognitive sophistication on the part of the recipients.
