Not to mention the cosmic tide of radiation heavily interfering with them

you want to know the simplest and most logical solution to the Fermi Paradox?

of course the catch is aliens of a non carbon base would find fdifferent worlds habitable

space itself

Sure

space is freakin big

I'm open to solutions

Absolutely

the first radio broadcast was a little over 50-60 years ago iirc

They have the drake equation taking that in account when iterating the fermi paradox tho

if you actually look at a radius of 50 lightyears around our solar system, it's nothing

the radio was invented pre wwi wasnt it

Actually

it's a mere speck in the galaxy

1937) developed, demonstrated and marketed the first successful long-distance wireless telegraph and in 1901 broadcast the first transatlantic radio signa

yeah way over 60 years dude

Theres plenty of potential habitable planets in close proximity but not sure if ots beyond the range of 50 light years

ya but when did they send the message they meant for to reach aliens?

I can't remember

Or where radio signals decay into background noise because of background cosmic radiation

light is eternal

oooooo

for all you know background radiation is just the interstellar radio traffic of a more advanced civilization

light still decays and redshifts

Could be there in it

But we wont pick it up just yet

you dont know

you cant know

but if that were true

how would we figure that out

well we could already pick it up

its not like we'd be able to recognize an alien transmission

again

space is freakin big

Not being able to differentiate

Yeah

simplest solution to the Fermi PAradox

We got some duds but they couldn't do anything with them

where are all the aliens? too far away from us

so uhm

Several signals that look highly suspicious but no means of interpreting
